Teslas have too much play in bearings and steering column (from new) and unlike every other manufacture out there they refuse to follow the standards and says it is how it is supposed to be. This forces owners to pay to get a factory problem fixed with zero help from Tesla, otherwise their car will not pass inspections.

Also, it isn't normal for a 3-year-old car to risk dropping a wheel. You should read some more about this before you defend them.

EDIT: Here is a reddit thread about the problem (and an article in Norwegian):

>"Almost half of all Tesla Y fail mandatory tech inspection in Denmark and make headlines for it; similar numbers in Tesla-country Norway."

>"The most common issue remains slack in the wheel alignment and suspension, found in 22% of TMY's, as opposed to .1% of ID4's."

>subsidized

So, like Tesla. Why is it that when it is a Chinese company it is basically Evil Communism, but when it is in the US it is fine?

Why? Tesla has huge quality problems (ranked by far the worst used cars in several countries incl. in Germany), an awful CEO, etc. BYD are better quality and cheaper which is insane.

The end of the US as we know it happens. Sure the US could win a war ("win"), but the US without US Europe trade, EU turning to China as its main trading partner including in military equipment, no more bases in EU, less access to other parts of the world, and so on. That would be a US that would wither and die.

That's not how this works though. This is a tripwire. If 13 German soldiers died at the hand of the US it would cause a bit more of a reaction in Germany than sending money to Ukraine.

>It would obviously be better if French, British, or German troops were in Ukraine

How is that obvious? Unless you have invested in a post-WW3 world.

If the US actually did invade Greenland it would mean the end of US Europe trade and cooperation as we know it and the end of NATO (and likely UN). China would suddenly be the main trading partner, also in military equipment. It would be the end of US as it is today.

>My immediate instinct is that the average European has far more to do with an average Ukrainian than the average Greenlander.

There are fewer differences between a Dane and a Greenland Inuit than between a MAGA and a Democrat. Maybe you should visit?

>These kinds of joint exercises are pretty common and largely symbolic.

Danish Air force Hercules are doing their best impression of the Berlin air bridge to transport as much as they can to Greenland, airlines have transported personnel, several countries are sending navel ships, planes have already been doing exercises. While this isn't the first exercise there this is absolutely not common and just symbolic. Sure it isn't a force that can fight the US, but it is historic and unprecedented in Danish/Greenlandish history and it is a tripwire.

To put that into perspective the US has around 150-200 staff in Greenland.

Yes, and so have Bill Gates, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, Bloomberg, etc. etc.

>US companies can mine there if they're able

You can't just go mine there. For one no-one can own land. A permit is also not something you just get and the laws protecting the environment are much harsher than US laws.

No.

But a president voted into office twice is the voice of everyone who voted for him.

Realistic suicide plan, maybe. No US state gets as much federal funding per capita as Greenland do from Denmark (and that funding doesn't include police, jails, courts, hospitals, etc. as that's paid by Denmark directly). Voting to become part of the US is like voting that you want less freedom, less money, less healthcare, and so on. It won't ever happen. Greenland isn't full of people that believe the US fairytale of "The Worlds Best XYZ".

Maybe what GP remember is the VPN they secretly installed, the affiliate links they silently added, the donations they took for other companies and kept for themselves, or one of the other times Brave was caught. It is a wonder people think the code base is trustworthy when we know for a fact how they behave with stuff we can see. But sure, try to make it look like it has anything to do with a person hardly anyone have ever heard of.

Sure, but some like a trustworthy company from a trustworthy country behind the software we use. 45 MiB less isn't enough to forget the history of Brave. The hidden VPN install and adding their own affiliate links haven't been forgotten.

1. Look for a new browser instead of Firefox that also have a history of being trustworthy.

2. Look at Brave - see 1.

They could cut it 110%, so my available RAM grew bigger, and I would still not trust them. They have been caught with their hands deep in the cookie jar too many times.
