Who knows. It is certainly low volume but some who buy it with wrong expectations might bring it to the used market very soon, at least in certain numbers. The question is how much demand will be there, possibly more than supply.

The bootloader is locked by default. I am not sure if "verified boot" is something different from that. In developer mode the boot loader can be unlocked.

No, I would not even take one even if they paid me the current price. The thing is not street legal in the EU, therefore useless. The reasons that it is not street legal have nothing to do with Elon directly but with that vehicle being unjustifiably dangerous to pedestrians and other drivers as well. If you drive one of those it tells all the others how much you care about everyone that isn't you.

I reject that thing not because it isn't street legal I reject it for why it isn't street legal and that goes down to the heart of its design and concept.

I never built up a CD collection but I now started a digital DRM free local collection. Yes, I am actually buying that stuff (call me stupid if you like) but only loss free.

One of the few disks I own is sadly too corruoted for error free ripping, luckuly I still have it as mp3. That album simply does not wxist online anymore, anywhere. Possibly not even in the darker corners of the net. I think that happens more often than many believe.

Bulldozing history is what revisionists actually want at least when it comes to the dark stains.

Funfact: If you build cities like it, walkable nice urban neighbourhoods, attractive for young families and others alike, can be perfectly affordable.

They played incredibly dirty, fouled nonstop, deserved even more red cards than they got, at the same time they played super lame football, debated with the referee nonstop, were disrespectful to the winning team afterwards and physically assaulted a Spanish player after the game without any provication from the other side.

Rarily has a team in the finals misbehaved more than that.

I am using Angelfish, the Firefox based Plasma Mobile browser on Sailfish OS. It works quite well there.

The car share can be replaced with self driving cars, however if you make self driving cars more attractive than cars now, you'll shift the balance and are heading towards more car centric and therefore more hostile and less attractive places again.

It is a nice fairy tale hat self driving cars are more space efficient. Real service patterns have shown that they fill up road infrastructure more than regular cars as they will do either fill up trips or need to drive everything twice. Also, making use of these fancy advantages (higher speeds, shorter breaking distance, dynamic crissings without traffic lights) make roads much more pedstrian hostile, more highway like.

Fair point as well.

I remember that very well. Doesn't change anything about the ID.Polo being a great car for a competitive price tag. Chinese cars in Europe aren't much better priced.

That is not entirely true. The new VW ID.Polo is a very nice new compact EV for a reasonable price for example.
