  • This is framing. I live in the Netherlands, who voted against this version of ChatControl light. Messenger apps are now allowed not nog forced to scan messages and report incidents (mostly aimed at child pornography i understand).

    Sounds good maybe, but here it is feared that scanning PRIVATE messages is normalised in this way, and will be made compulsary in the future.

    So all things considered a bad fucking day for privacy. If anything the EU moves back to ChatControl after the initial version was rejected (rightly so in my opionion.)








  • So i’d promised To report on my experience. I have testridden the Skoda enyaq and discussed the price difference with the Skoda elroq with the salesman. The car seems almost identical to the enyaq just slightly shorter. The price difference is mostly due to the fact that Skoda is really pushing the elroq and not due to something technical. It does seem however that the elroq has some options that cost extra, which the enyaq has in the equivalent edition. An example would be the “clever pack” in the business edition. Which costs ~2000 Euros extra for the elroq business but is included in the equivalent enyaq business edition. So when you would want the same specs, the difference would become slightly less, but it remains significant.

    That being said: I’ve testridden the Skoda enyaq, cupra tavascan, Nissan ariya, and a Kia EV3. The driving experience of the Skoda and cupra is far superior To that of Nissan and kia (and yes i know, the Kia is significantly cheaper So you should Take that into account).

    The cupra tavascan is really technically similar To the enyaq (coupé) and is worth the consideration if you think the enyaq is too expensive. Personally i am still in doubt between the tavascan and the enyaq coupé. My Main objections To the tavascan are the design, which is a bit too extreme for my taste, and the fact that it is built in China. I prefer a car that is built here in the EU, which the enyaqs are (Czechia). However for similar specs the price difference is 10.000 euro… So I have to think about if my principles are worth this amount of money.

    Hope this helps you as well!
