Crocodile tears.

It was always the CCP/government’s intention to a) quickly transition China’s domestic auto fleet to electric, b) build their domestic EV industry, and c) flood foreign markets with electric vehicles to grab and dominate market share and destroy foreign competitors by dumping product.

And they’re getting all of it.

Not that they’re the first Asian Tiger country to do that kind of thing.

Then the guy gets a Federal cabinet post.

Are you trying to post to:

!philippines@lemmy.world

!philippines@lemmy.ee

or

!philippines@lemmy.ml?

An image uploading site, like imgur.com for example.

What /c were you trying to post to, and could you upload the image somewhere, so we can examine it?

Before reading the caption, I thought Charlie Brown was going to be involved somehow…

A riff on petrifried forests, i.e. where the wood from ancient trees has been mineralized over millions of years, preserving their shape.

The more famous one is Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona

There’s also a petrified forest in Calistoga, CA

That can’t possibly be right, because it didn’t appear in my YouTube recommendations.

/S

I thought the joke was related to the “AI” written on right’s helmet that was revealed in the last panel, but apparently that’s not it.

Soon all shows will be about delivering shit in your car, or in an Amazon truck.

The hilarity of driver pickup waiting rooms, competing for desirable pickups in the same app, and being alone in the dark with your phone.

Tesla had their Model Y and Model 3 refreshes, a gimmick they can’t repeat for the next few years.

GM had impressive gains in sales and market share.

Some other major EV makers like Hyundai and Volkswagen got clobbered by fucking Trump tariffs.

Here’s the data: https://caredge.com/guides/electric-vehicle-market-share-and-sales

I wonder what the 2.0% market share of “Additional EV Models” is, that started Q1 2025?

Does that mean people are smuggling BYDs across the border from Mexico?

How’s the food database?

Is it static, or can one change it locally, and/or upload contributions?

And just think: Those are 1,000+ active users, as opposed to masses of inactive users who joined Lemmy in previous waves then stopped using it.

According to this article, a BYD Dolphin Surf sells for €23,000, or about USD$26,000.

Which includes (a justified IMO) 45% EU tariff on Chinese cars, due to massive manufacturing subsidies.

At the equivalent of USD$23,000 it’s at the higher end of the Chinese price range for SUVs, which ranges from about the equivalent of USD$15,000 to 27,000

Danger 5 Season 1 was a classic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhHxiAb7g0g

“SF Mayor Runs Into Complications When Trying To Solve Homelessness” shocker.

(chief of the Vehicle Fitness Test Center) Shrestha said harnessing Nepal’s enormous hydropower resources could also provide the clean energy needed to boost wide-scale EV adoption.

“Nepal is ahead in EV adoption and taking proactive steps to cut carbon emissions. Fossil fuels will run out one day, but with abundant clean hydropower, Nepal is in a perfect position to drive the shift to sustainable transport.”

I hope it happens for them!

TIL Fangoria is still going, albeit after a hiatus and under different owners.

Oh I remember that ad too.

I was trying to say that Larson’s verbal reference is tortured inelegant. IMO of course.
