What’s great about this, and Stephen Fry is brilliant, is not that he’s absolving Musk, or that he’s criticizing Tesla, but that it is an argument likely leading to Elon Musk protesting,

‘No, my cars are good enough that I can be a Nazi!’

    Hitler was a drug addict and the trains didn’t run on time.

    German trains still don’t run on time. Can’t blame that one on the Nazis, that’s just a German thing.

        I had four long distance ICE journeys in the last two months. Three where thirty minutes late, one was two hours late.

        Also had four long distance TGV journeys, of which one was about 20 minutes late, and one was an hour late, though that delay happened in Germany.

        Apparently, DB is currently working on the infrastructure, but those renovations haven’t been fully funded, and it looks like the conservatives will get in next.

          On Via Rail Canada, my train trip was 3h. The delay was 3h. So it literally was double the amount of time.

          European train delay is nothing compared to Canadian train delay.
