@ai6yr @breadandcircuses and then we get some old (pre-) #Boomers teasing us #Millenials with something halfway cool just to then give us the finger with an absurdly high pricetag of € 111.000 and only 200 available for purchase.

• The #VW #XL1 feels like the #AstonMartin Cygnet but worse…

Instead of #SuerUselessVehicles we need #PersonalLightVehicles, and I know #EcoHipster will hate me for it but a #TataNano or my used #Corsa D 1.0 will habe way less impact on the envoirment than any #CyberTruck because it ain't a fucking #WankPanzer / #IncelCar but I do at leasr try to max efficiency on every trip by asking before going if.I should get something.(on the way back)...

@fuck_cars_bot propably because of 3 things:

1. #India has working #PublicTransport - it's not good, it's overcrowded but still better than that of the #USA, and it consists of both official operators and an unknown number of informal providers ranging from someone on a 50cm³ #scooter to #taxi and #bus operators.

2. Most people can't afford a #car at all - like 1920s Germany people may at most afford a motorcycle or a scooter for the entire family. Even the #TataNano was still expensive even at the promo price of INR 100.000 .

3. Lack of personal #vehicle #ownership makes it easy for operators of taxi and bus services to turn a profit. Plus people are less wary about offering people a ride for the cost of fuel and some tips and even in rural areas there is at least some irregular & informal service that gets people somehow connected.

As for China, UAE, Israel and many others, either excellent public transport or paywalling keeps car ownership low.

• The lack of #accessible and #affordable #PublicTransport is why in the #UnitedStatesOfCars it's basically unheard of that people (outside the densest city centers) don't own a car , to the point that people face #discrimination in #JobSearch for nor having a #car (even tho they have a drivng license)...

@mathewthomas yeez.

Wasn't the #TataNano officially released for Rs. 100k ?

@forthy42 @SheDrivesMobility Idealerweise gäbs überall bezahlbaren, benutzbaren und barrierefreien #ÖPNV - notfalls als Anrufsammeltaxi.

Das ist jedoch unrealistisch...

Und ja, wir brauchen kleinere und sinnvollere Lösungen die einem wettergeschützt mobil halten...

Es braucht jedenfalls mehr und günstigere #PersonalLightVehicles anstelle von #SuperUselessVehicles!

#WasFehlt: das #TataNano-Equivalent eines #Kabinenroller!

@Wuergenippel @rahmstorf

Ich würde bzgl. solcher Ankündigungen immer vorsichtig sein.

Vorallem reche ich damit dass es wie der #TataNano weder global verfügbar noch irgendwelche Straßenzulassung in Deutschland erhält...
Also unabhängig davon ob es als Auto [EG-Fahrzeugklasse M1] oder Leichtfahrzeug [L2e / L5e / L6e / L7e] angeboten wird...
