BBC is on a roll today

And the Cybertruck was...

It's an EV problem, not a China problem... Unfortunately

lmao you don't even want to know about Tesla battery fires I take it?

Do you think this is a Ford Pinto?

Edit: given that you mention crumple zones... A Tesla Cybertruck?

hey shut up we're in a china bad brigade

In this case BYD lacks a local factory and their profit margins are significant enough that they don't maintain region-specific frame SKUs IIRC.

FWIW the Chinese market is one of the biggest for Volvo because Chinese consumers care about (perceived) safety.

Lmao there's a guy who usually posts a long response to these "subsidies" claims bullshit, but I think they got into a pissing match with a mod in the comments and got banned lmao.

Jist of it is: China's subsidies are negligible compared to the US, and what they've actually done is created a competitive domestic market with a large number of players. Unless you think Chinese people are all puppets, even if China (as a country) owns the industry it would not prevent internal competition that drives down prices. Moreover, China does not offer per-unit subsidies on export. In fact, Chinese EVs exported to Europe are something like 40% more expensive than domestically for the same model.

Oxford PV set up a 100MW plant back in 2021... But that was with efficiency barely better than traditional mono (23-26.81% for mono vs. 28.6% for perovskite).

The value proposition was never there before, but it might be now...

It makes sense now how antivaxxing went from a fringe movement to a cornerstone of right-wing ideology lol

uhh guys isn't this like really bad

Israel is the single state most responsible for antisemitism since its foundation.

The Comac/Bombardier C919 is so cool man. It's really the successor to Bombardier's commercial airline initiatives that got nuked by Boeing and the DOJ.

Seriously. Fuck Boeing and fuck the DOJ.

BRICS, believe it or not, is not the world police.

PPP GDP/capita is the metric for living standards, PPP GDP is more a metric of domestic output (in terms of the intrinsic value of goods produced).

r/worldnews has always been astroturfed by State Department mouthpieces...

Shit headline for a very scary story

Rise up, we who refuse to be slaves...

But at what cost?

They're stealing our IP!
