Earth Day Has Become Greenwashed. We Need To Rebrand It Transport Evolved Main

Since the very first Earth Day in 1970, April 22nd has been a day where people could push for a cleaner, greener future — a day to lobby politicians and companies to do better by the planet, and where we as consumers could find better ways to live.

Is This The Tesla Model Y For People Who Don't Want To Support Elon Musk?

By: Transport Evolved Main

The Tesla Model Y is currently the world's best-selling electric car. It packs a decent amount of tech, convenient charging via Tesla's Supercharger network, and for many buyers, is their first foray into electric vehicles. And for that, it deserves real credit.

But as Elon Musk has become increasingly vocal about his political views, willingly platformed white extremist and xenophobic voices, and meddled in multiple countries' political processes, there's a growing number of people who would drive a Model Y were it not for his leadership position at the company.

Polestar may have come up with a solution for those who want Model Y-like vibes without the Tesla badge.

Meet the Polestar 4. Sure, it's got one really weird quirk — but after a week with it, Nikki is liking it more than she thought she would...although she's got some significant concerns over night time visibility thanks to an all-digital rear-view mirror.

21:03 - Drive modes
22:48 - Safety features
23:49 - Semi-autonomous driving
25:35 - Lots of customisation
27:14 - Could it be more efficient? Maybe...
28:06 - Well behaved, but also capable of being very naughty
29:23 - A note on it being 'Chinese'
30:01 - A few quirks and 'features'
31:48 - Conclusion

Klappenkrug - Verschwundene Dörfer
Der Ursprung von Adlig Jarchow, wie das Dorf Klappenkrug anfangs hieß, liegt im Dunkel der Geschichte. In der 2. Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts taucht dann der Name Klappenkrug auf, eine klassische Umspannstation an der Poststraße mit Schmiede und Krug. Und mit Wegegeld-lizenz, woher auch der Name Klappe (Aufklappen der Schranke) kommt. 1855 hat das zum Gut Neuhof und zur Kirche Bibow gehörende Dorf stolze 27 Einwohner. Schmied Zinck ist 1861 unter den Ausstellern auf der Deutschen Land- und Forstwirtschaftsausstellung in Schwerin. Als er auf's Altenteil geht, übernimmt das junge Paar Heinrich und Henrike Vorwerk (im Bild) Schmiede und Krug. Durch den Chausseebau von Ventschow nach Liessow 1907 ist der Untergang des Klappenkruges quasi besiegelt. Im Frühjahr 1914 brennt der Schmiedekrug durch Blitzschlag ab und wird nicht wieder aufgebaut. Nur die alljährlich blühenden Obstbäume hielten die Erinnerung an diesen Ort wach.
