  • Ford falls behind China’s BYD in global sales for the first time

    Jump

  • They don’t make reasonably sized or affordable cars anymore,

    In Europe they do, and it's still a reasonably popular brand despite Trump.

  • I hope this is more than just the pendulum swinging like it always does.

  • Nice to see an ICE car fire getting some media attention for a change

    Jump

  • I'm from Denmark but no, it's pretty rare, but in this case it meant it was a relatively minor fix to get the car going again.

  • Nice to see an ICE car fire getting some media attention for a change

    Jump

  • ICE fires get the attention they deserve, the difference between an ICE fire and a BEV fire is in the scale and intensity and the fact that a lithium battery fire is impossible to stop with normal firefighter equipment.

    BEV fires are orders of magnitude more dangerous and lethal.Have you ever heard of anyone dying because their ICE car caught fire? This is an issue especially with Tesla, where the manual handles are hidden, preventing people from getting out quickly enough.In case of a BEV fire, you only have seconds to exit the car, otherwise you are toast.

    PS:Just in case someone thinks I'm making anti BEV propaganda, I own a VW ID.4 which I am very happy with.

    PPS:My wife once had an ICE car go on fire on her, after going 170 km/h on Autobahn in a tiny 1.1 L car. 😋 but it was easily handled with the fire extinguisher she had in the car, it was taken to a garage, and with new cables and a new battery, the car was fine to use again.

  • BYD Ad Banned For Roasting Stellantis In Trade-In Offer

    Jump

  • The IAP ruled that these messages violated Italian advertising rules against defamation, misleading commercial communication, and unfair comparative advertising.

    Good call by the Italian authorities, I admit the way BYD did it as a trade-in offer is pretty clever, but comparative advertising is near impossible to do legally in EU exactly for the reasons stated. It will almost always be unfair and misleading, as it focus on features that disfavor the competition. This can quickly become an issue of actual defamation.

    On another note, Chinese car makers can apparently make deals with EU for lower tariffs if they promise to not sell their cars too cheap. But how does that work when they make attractive trade-in offers?

  • Trans Youth Suicides Skyrocketed In UK After Care Drawdown; Government Covers It Up

    Jump

  • First a coverup:

    alarmed by a spike in suicides among transgender youth following severe restrictions on care in the aftermath of the Bell v Tavistock ruling. This information was never made public, with administrators concerned that it could cause reputational damage

    Then a coverup to disguise the coverup:

    the UK government commissioned a report, known as the Appleby Report, that claimed there were only a handful of suicides and denied any increase, with many anti-trans political figures and activists then patting themselves on the back and absolving themselves of any blame.

    Yes that's how to run public health services! These people are disgusting. 🤢 🤮

  • Tesla’s Head of North American Sales Out After Just Over Six Months, With Canadian Sales Down 60%+

    Jump

  • BYD has yet to submit vehicles for FMVS certification.

    And why would they do that? Kind of hard to compete with 200% tariffs on.

  • Russian War Spending May be Maxed Out

    Jump

  • Absolutely, the Russian economy is doing very poorly disregarding exports may hold better than we thought.

  • ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next

    Jump

  • Of Course, the White house needs to have their own fascist paramilitary police force Schutzstaffel (SS) / Gestapo ready before the midterms.

  • Paywall.But White house spreading darkness across USA and the world.

  • Russian War Spending May be Maxed Out

    Jump

  • You didn't write that it was against the Ruble previously. The US dollar has definitely deflated when seen against other international currencies. So what you probably mean is that the Ruble has deflated more than the USD. But that's irrelevant, since the export numbers are given in USD.

  • Russian War Spending May be Maxed Out

    Jump

  • I think you mean deflated, as it has lost value.

  • Russian War Spending May be Maxed Out

    Jump

  • https://tass.com/economy/2084701

    Exports of goods from Russia decreased by $16.2 bln to $418.3 bln, while imports declined by $3.8 bln to $279 bln

    That's a trade surplus of $139 bln.

    These are of course official numbers, so they may be doctored.

  • Epstein affair may be 'the end of the monarchy', says US congressman

    Jump

  • Why the fuck would a US congressman worry about monarchy?I thought it was a no Kings reference, but the idiot is talking about the UK monarchy!To which I say his opinion on that is completely irrelevant.

  • UK and US sink to new lows in global index of corruption

    Jump

  • Being spineless is not corruption.

  • Tesla’s Head of North American Sales Out After Just Over Six Months, With Canadian Sales Down 60%+

    Jump

  • If you consider it crazy to fight fascism, maybe you are a fascist.

  • Tesla’s Head of North American Sales Out After Just Over Six Months, With Canadian Sales Down 60%+

    Jump

  • AFAIK you can't get BYD Atto3 in USA or any other ordinary BYD car, because USA won't allow competition, and has posted steep tariffs on cars from China and EU.So how the fuck would BYD have received carbon credits for 10 years where thy haven't been able to sell cars in USA?

    Tesla is every bit as protected and subsidized as any Chinese brand.

  • UK and US sink to new lows in global index of corruption

    Jump

  • If you sink lower on the corruption index, it means corruption is higher.They made the index that way to avoid misunderstandings. 🤡

  • Russian War Spending May be Maxed Out

    Jump

  • Very interesting article! 👍

    The combination of lower oil prices and the oil price cap has done relatively little to dent Russia’s overall export earnings from selling goods to the rest of the world, which were $420 billion in 2019, $425 billion in 2023, $434 billion in 2024, and about $413 billion in 2025.

    This is a huge surprise to me if true, I tried to check the numbers, and I couldn't find anything to show them wrong, on the contrary the numbers I can find seem to confirm this?This is very strange since we hear all sorts of Russian exports are collapsing. First and foremost oil, which is now worth half what it was 4 years ago, natural gas to EU is at most a fourth, and was considered a major source of income for Russia, but also I've heard coal to China has declined steeply, and of course their weapons export is almost halted as they need the weapons themselves.

    Those are all major export sectors, so how can it be possible for Russia to maintain stable export numbers?
