Don’t know about availability in the US, but at least in Europe there are many, many alternatives out there, both from traditional brands (Mercedes, BMW, etc etc) and more recently, from Chinese brands.
A friend bought a BYD Seal the other day, he got a total bargain for their top version at 41k€, but that got me looking into them, and their lineup is looking pretty impressive.
In Europe at least, Chinese cars.
Last month on my neck of the woods, YoY car sales were up 16% and yet Tesla was down 68% this month alone, while BYD was up 331,6% (yes, 3 digits).
With these changes, Tesla isn’t even in the top 10 anymore (at one point it was #2!) and has been leapfrogged by BYD, who seems very likely to continue climbing and break into the top 3 sellers.
Tesla is dead.
The idiot digs deeper, and shows his true colours. Asinine.
He who sucketh a dick can accommodate a second one.
Why are you crossing out China?
Did you miss the massive investments China is doing there, to buy influence?
Here’s one: https://www.businessinsider.com/satellite-photos-show-byds-massive-hungary-factory-taking-shape-2025-4
No. We get exactly what his comment is about.
If he was in the renewables camp, there would be no point, in this discussion over solar, to bring up nuclear. It’s absolutely unrelated.
What he’s doing is pushing the thought into people’s heads that nuclear is a good solution, and that’s why I’m calling him out for. For being a shill.
This is the sort of stupidification of issues that we see from bot farms: cherry pick one point, then blow it out of proportion so that there’s no more nuance, no more gray, no room for middle ground.
Everything becomes black and white, polarised, simple: with us or against us.
Fucking moron.
This just hands over an EU country to the Russian and Chinese influences, which is why Hungary is where it’s at in the first place.
This is the kind of thing that needs covert counter-ops: undermine and question orban at every online forum, constantly make Putin look bad, push against every single government policy, etc.
So basically what they’re doing to every other western nation.
Oh. I thought it would be more impressive, but that’s still orders of magnitude away. Thanks!
These are his policies:
rent freeze, making city buses free and raising taxes on the most wealthy
If this goes ahead in NY, you can be damn sure that it’s going to stir the pot.
Millions thrown away just so he can fold over.
The US PACs system is absolutely broken…
AC units have beefy capacitors, right? Do you know in what range, for comparison?
Like with tobacco, the ones who had no doubt about the ill effects were the insurance companies.
They measure the impact in dollars, and the math is clear.
If he was a (us) football star he’d have gotten a scholarship instead.
Looks like they moved on to the fireworks business.
I’m sure that if they just keep looking, they’ll find… Nope, it’s more white, male, republicans.
I cannot, for the life of me, understand how you can kill 350 people and then just buy your way out of it.
This money isn’t even for the victims families, it’s a fucking bribe to get the gov to shield them from consequences.
This is wrong on so many levels - fucking executives need to go to jail over this!
If they’re not going to be responsible for their fuck ups, Boeing airworthiness needs to be revoked around the world. When they come crashing down over US politicians heads, then maybe they’ll learn.
You’re not very good at this…
