The ‘old’ Phillips is not the same as the current. The original Phillips is now doing medical equipment mainly, selling to hospitals etc. Phillips Lighting is now Signify, though as far as I can tell that’s still a Dutch company. Phillips consumer electronics where spun of and sold out, to a Chinese buyer I believe. TVs and monitors I think were sold out separately from general consumer electronics.

My gut reaction too. But their readme/faq makes a lot of sound points. Also Nextcloud is one of the main contributors, so you know it’s serious. Also Proton and Ionos (which I admit I’d never heard of, but they seem big)

I still have a couple DVD drives. They’re both disconnected because the PCs they’re in both got new motherboards at some point in time without an IDE plug 😅

All of them. Not directly, but RAM and SSD price explosions hurt. Also buying electricity for my home heater from the same market as billion dollar data centers hurt too

The 2024+ Long Range Single motor (rear wheel drive) is rated for 655km which is pretty decent. Compared to the 2021 first gen dual motor (long range) which was rated at 390km

BMW i5 Touring and Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo are the only electric stationwagons I know of. I share your dispair at the lack of “medium” size electric cars. For a decade there was only one sedan, the Tesla S. And later a second sedan, the Tesla 3. At least these days there’s greater selection of sedans, though still not many wagons. Although to be fair there’s hardly even fossil wagons for sale these days.

The prevelance of tiny or massive EVs kinda make sense. Small city cars are usually used for shorter journeys so they can get away with a smaller lighter batteries. Big SUVs are heavy to begin with, so the heavy battery doesn’t make that a massive difference. Fossil sedans and estates can be relatively light but are still often used for long journeys, but a longrange sedan EV will be very heavy.

The Polestar 2 is great at being a (fun) car first and a electric car second, if that makes sense. The door handles are just regular door handles, the instrument cluster has an extremely clean and minimal design without visual noise, there’s physical buttons for the radio and defroster and the gear (direction) selector! Range isn’t as amazing as Tesla 3, but as a daily car I think it’s nicer. Also the optional tow hitch is rated for a 1t trailer load which is a bit more than the Tesla 3.

Skoda Enyaq is another good alternative, though slightly bigger, more of an SUV. The Honda E was really fun to drive, but a bit expensive given size and range. For smaller cars the Renault Zoë is a a top contender, and quite popular here Kia has a whole range of great EVs, as does VW.

If I was in the market for a new car, I’d be seriously looking at the new Mazda 6e right now. It looks slick as hell, and it’s one of the very few non-SUV non-5-door-hatchback EVs on the market. Another alternative is BMW i4 and i5. The i5 is even available as a stationwagon / estate , which as far as I know is a first for EVs.

The Lucid looks slick as well, for those with deeper pockets :D

You didn’t mention where you live or what size and budget you’re looking at, some of these models may not be available in all markets, and as you can tell wary greatly in size and cost
