Completely off topic, but why does "an European" sound wrong? Like I've always said "an American" but never "an United States citizen" and it just doesn't sound right.
OTOH, Chinese EV market share is on the rise...
Let's hope more, small and cheap EVs are coming from the European car makers. A.k.a. the Twingo, a small Panda and the ID1 and ID2

Time for Rheinmetall to release a cybertruck competitor

we don't need a competitor in the category "the car that looks offroad but is worse on offroad than a Fiat 500"

Given their portfolio I fully trust them to come up with a decent offroad design 😄

Tracked or wheeled is the question, though.

Let alone in the category "car that's extra dangerous to people outside the car just to make it look uglier".

So some kind of intelligence was involved in designing at least one of those. 👍

It must be so embarrassing to drive one of those ugly plastic things around. Good riddance.

European is pronounced with a Y sound at the start of the word. Hence no "an"
Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.de · 17 pts · 1y
In short: it's not the letter, it's the first sound that dictates "a" vs "an".
Example:
a uniform
an underling

Because it is wrong. Same thing as with 'a uniform'.

I hear the Titan submersible billionaires are alive but trapped in an underwater cave. Elon should go save him in his trapped-Thai-children submarine.
