Late-stage capitalism - the future is now.

How about going uphill, or in colder weather, etc. I still would not rent an EV when traveling.

SSBs will not only revolutionize ground transport, but more importantly air transport and drone tech. Given it has such high military value and those customers can pay very well, I predict that they will see the first uses of this tech.

I don't see "services/subscriptions" in this list of revenue sources. Is it in the "other" bucket? Because that's been growing steadily, IMHO.

> China has been methodically preparing for trade war Mostly because it was prompted by decoupling from the last three administrations before going full-bore in this latest Trump admin.

For those who (like me) were bewildered by the claptrap coming out of Trumps mouth regarding 51st state and "owning Greenland", I listened to a podcast that made the case that: a) since China has essentially supplanted the WorldBa

You mistake Elon. He's no longer interested in Tesla, and it's 100% clear with where he's spending his time. Tesla is the ladder that got him where he is, and he's fine if that ladder burns now that he's already cl

Perhaps it would be more useful to say (specifically for that first more valid study) that bullies have kids earlier.

Since 2009 banks have been able to ignore "mark to market" rules thus allowing them to keep unrealistically high valuations on deflating properties.

My "compliance car" cheapo Ford Focus EV had about 5% over-provisioning. It realistically got its range estimate for the past 7 years except in winter which reduced the range about 20%. It's starting to lose range now on ye

> After the 1979 revolution, US-Iran relations collapsed. Amusing way of putting it, if you ignore the US/UK instigated 1953 coup of Mossadegh and the installation of the Shah who was busy selling out Iran to the western powers, yea

LOL, maybe Europe could sign on to China's Belt & Road initiative instead? I mean the terms are probably going to be worse than if they decided to dump the US earlier, but now that may be more attractive than antagonizing Russia &

It seems more and more that France will be the center of European power going forward. They have nukes, they export energy, they have UN SC veto. Hell they even have their own cultural independence.

As long as Europe doesn't get dragged into the tariff tarpit that US has jumped into, I think they'll do much better.

EV sales are up, and this is a market with full Chinese import activity and minimal tariffs - so I'm guessing the big winners are Chinese EVs (narrator: that's correct) https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/

Where I live public transport allows you to take your bike, ebike or scooter onboard. I think this is the future (maybe not subways but lightrail/bus)

Who says they'll invade by 2027? Some Washington think tank?

This is a consumer version of what the PLA is probably deploying for military operations already. Imagine a Humvee-equivalent with integrated drone scout giving real-time threat and mobility assessments... or for targeting support for air p

Which is funny because China is the king of solar panels including both production and deployment, specifically in rural areas [1]. I'm very interested the "village level aggregation" which sounds super communal and solarpun

Fast is a single feature that a car has. The target market that values "very fast" over "fast enough" is much smaller than the opposite.

I find that meme super funny - because China is doing a LOT of things that simply aren't getting noticed by (or being ignored by) the media in the West. Belt & Road, New Silk Road, solar panels everywhere, etc. They're not do

Acceleration? Anything with 6s or faster 0-60 is plenty fast unless you're just measuring dick size. Actual range is matched by Hyundai/Kia EVs, and pricing is quite good as well (especially used). Also these vehicles support V2

Bible would totally support not liking money: "the love of money is the root of all evil". Money is a tool, it's not something that's natural to "love".
