The BYD Seagul at 12k$ is not really the type of car that could be successfully exported in western markets. The 30kwh battery is too small. I could see the upper trim with the larger battery being successful in Europe, but this is absolutely not going to work in USA.

A better comparison is the 27k$ made in china BYD seal vs the 38k$ made in USA Tesla model 3.

And also there is a massive price EV price war in China. I don’t believe any of their EV manufacturers is currently making money at those prices.

Even when they exports to lower income countries like Thailand, they are significantly more expensive.

A 100% tariff is simply way too overkill. At this point it is not a tariff, but a straight up ban.

The aim of a tariff is making a fair competition between local products and imports, ultimately to lower prices for consumers.

What has been done here, is pure protectionism for the US companies that didn’t invest enough in EV.

In the EU where we actually have Chinese competition, the cheapest EU-made EV (Citroën eC3) start at 23000€ and multiple models at this price point are coming in the next few years (Renault 5, VW ID2…)

So far seem to be an uneventful upgrade.

Defaulting to wayland for KDE6 on a nvidia GPU doesn’t seem to have broken anything

Except PET from plastics bottles which is the only common plastic that is fully depolymerizable/ repolymerizable, instead of simply being remeltable.

Please do not use this map projection. It is unambiguously trash. It distord shapes way to much. There are much better equal area projections, like Eckert IV or mollweide

It depend.

“Machine à laver” (washing machine) = female

“Lave linge” (laundry washer) = male

I also recommend to stay away from NTFS3. I had some files that i couldn’t empty from the recycle bin, they just keep reappearing.

After a while NTFS3 straight up give up, it couldn’t mount the partition due to NTFS errors. At this point NTFS3g still worked, and i moved everything to an ext4 partition.

You get ibuprofen in what ? 500 pack ?! Surely there is enough to kill yourself with this amount. How do you even finish it before it expire ?

“Saw six” is pronounced like “saucisse” which mean sausage.

And nowadays you have randomized MAC addresses on IPV6.

The thing is that semi fab are extremely fragile. For example, there was a Samsung memory fab where a few minutes of electricity black out killed months of production.

Basically it is impossible to protect Taiwan’s fab. Those fab, by being the best in the world, are actually Taiwan’s best line of defense. As soon as they lose this advantage, they are doomed.

Thankfully cobalt isn’t cheap. The latest trend in EV battery technology is to move away from it

Either by using Nickel rich chemistry in NMC battery or ditching it altogether and replacing it by LFP.
