Did this place get any better?!
I wouldn't consider it a solved problem; there is huge demand on the industrial + residential electricity supply during summer months when everyone cranks up the AC + charges their cars
its happening
true - Russia is only a train ride away however.
Bunch of bored kids looking for something to do, not exactly an organized govt led project
For good - not food; geely canteen sucks.
I will use my Group level power for food and the benefit of journalists everywhere We will create a palace edict in due course.
Adding in: Chinese media always get high res pics on Baidu cloud or other platforms that are sent via WeChat etc Global media are email orientated and can’t easily use China based cloud solutions
Why Chinese automakers don’t post latest pics - latest model is often six months from global launch if at all - global team want to put focus on existing global portfolio - regional markets refuse to accept the existence of global HQ launches to “save coverage” It’s stupid; I hate it.
Absolutely fucking agree I will make it happen now
AYE GO ON THEN
In my inbox today, via the NYT: The author compares Musk’s businesses to a “financial cult” divorced from normal fundamentals and argues that his political activities may be “his undoing”, highlighting Tesla’s falling sales, profitability, and share price.
My front wheel hit it, pushed it out the way, but it pushed the passenger side door up. Still opens, no damage seen…. Until I wash the car this week
I HIT A GIANT BOLLARD 😭 The one my neighbor went over! But kinda just pushed it out the way
Hey @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social just wondering if you accept confessions ?
Wow not bad
Not a businessman or anything but I think corporate entities really appreciate easy to understand messaging from govt organs.
ha I have a story that I will tell one day.
Wild Zeekr 001FR spotted in Shanghai yesterday; 1200+ bhp
Mr Plunkett; could you share the order because $75 on Mickey D’s is insane 🥹
Cannot wait for your comments
It’s not six figure if you spread it over 48 months
Europe needs to become strong and develop its own gigantic trucks, we cannot loose to America
I was looking everywhere for Tesla’s Feb numbers! I wondered why they delayed so late, usually go out on the first of every month
My wife likes to introduce me to other wives dads like we’re gonna be best friends or something. Transfer window on friends shut at 25 for me, not accepting any new players on the team.
How does a strategic crypto reserve even work?
Ive always wanted to know - why do some TV shows develop their own user interfaces for cellphones or computer systems etc? Are their royalties involved or something else?
I’m at the point where i believe you can fix any car
Vermont ?
The fact of the matter is, I have far too many bikes and far too little free time to ride them.
Local car dealer told me that it's the "L7" and there's a few in Hangzhou. I didn't know there was an Alpine version! wild.
These two pictures were taken six days apart in the same city - Hangzhou 0 degrees on Sunday, 30 degrees today on Saturday Can’t deny a climate crises now
New bike day - back to a long travel YT Capra 279
Good morning to this gent who is cleaning his V12 Alpina Ultra LWB limousine with flag poles
Just remembered my old PHEV that I bought for 120k, drove for 3.5 years, and was only offered 30k for! The Chinese car market is insanely twisted right now. Anyway - I gave my old car to my father in law, and he loves it.
I am British and I use my rear fog light - in China
I would definitely jump into a Jetour Traveller
Catching baddies
You need a carer
double checked with JLR Shanghai - seems to be a dealer only offer and you have to trade your existing car into get the deal, can't put 100% cash on the table. Ive no idea why.
in further proof that old Asian men will wear literally ANYTHING ive just seen a guy down by the river in an American Drug Enforcement Agency windbraker jacket.
Always nice to see user feedback from the Farizon SV EV van launch in the UK earlier this week.
I would say that it’s neutral right now, let’s see how he impacts the fragile CN-USA relationship. Could be a winner, could also be a massive loser
As a regular visitor to the factory I am very sad right now. I will have to have double fika today.
I have full trust in the none appointed ketamine fuelled foreigner billionaire that’s got a track record of exploding everything he touches
Mr Woodhead sir, I appreciate your RedNote content. Inspirational.
Everyone in China dunks on “white people food” but this is definitely a solid lunch.
I’m not saying that the Chinese auto market is weirdly imbalanced right now to EVs and electrified vehicles or anything but you can buy a brand new 2.0T Freelander Discovery thing for a mere $23k / €22k / £18k
What about car parts that pass the border several times before ending up in a finished car?!?
Xinjiang restaurant boss sees me come in, gives me the biggest “Yaxshimusiz”, calls me brother, sits me upstairs in the nice spot I think I visit his restaurant too often
I like the SUVs, I have become their target audience
Mostly that Li Auto PR havent transitioned to Bluesky yet so I don’t get bullied for calling the mega ugly here
Kinda insane that the Nissan GTR came out in 2007 and still looks insanely fresh in 2025
i like those yellow protective strips
Just saw a Li Auto brake hard and the owner installed fake lidar slid off the roof down the windscreen and onto the hood
Saw one of these in Qingdao in 2008 or 2009 and thought about it ever since
education costs are a bummer in China; but costs are parable with tax reduction in the UK so I can swallow that bitter bitter pill
6am and the clubs are clearing out, that’s showbiz life baby
Just saw a Rolls Royce SUV stop in traffic, rear doors swinging open, and a young guy projectile vomiting out the back Chinese economy is so back
This wee ginger fella is in Hangzhou for a few nights.
Ive no idea what is happening in the UK energy sector but these home energy prices are absolutely insane. How any of you afford to live there is beyond me www.theguardian.com/money/2025/f...
morning is heads down quiet work time, no discussion before 10:30
Wait just reading about the Ram Charger 3.6 V6 and a 92kw battery?! 20MPG too. wtf
People trying to set up 8:30am calls with me - what is this, the military?
Well that was a terrifying Tuesday morning read
EREVS are the future of big car electrification (inc big rigs) for sure. Can’t think of one OEM that isn’t thinking of EREVS for large SUVs - they just make sense given diminishing returns on battery size
Can someone with an active account tell me if Threads is still a thing or have the brands ruined it
lol he blocked me; never mind. Mad ranting mongo.
Yeah - the “Roman salute” phase is really showing whose who
You’re still doing KB?!?
I gotta admit I agree with the original poster in that BlueSky can become a liberal Truth Social. I like to see opposing points of view, it gives you a different prospective.
OEMs will die, parts manufacturers will stay on till eternity. The biggest issue for a future car is maintaining the connectivity features
2011-2018 Peugeot 508 screen, yours for 25-60gbp, depending on model.
This headline is an entirely new sentence that has never been written before
of course EVs will keep working in 15 years - the majority of modern infrastructure is running on Windows XP from 2001, where there is a will there is a way.
Not only a corporate culture shift but requires a local govt culture shift too - you need IT + tech companies to drive a fundamental tech change across the ecosystem inc supply chain. This is where the EU is seriously behind; they’re stuck in the ICE age
without a fundamental corporate culture shift, the below will be impossible
it sounded like utter naturally aspirated ass, so definitely not a real transformer
Was this rare
Just come back from the Hangzhou mountains; bumped into a bunch of dudes in lifted Bronco Raptors, Wrangler 4Xe, Porsche Cayenne, Defender V8 etc etc “do you wanna go grab dinner with us?” “Sure why not” Dudes start passing the cigs around over the spiciest dinner ever Living in China is ace 🤘🏻
I remember a time when the GOP was tough on Russia and govt overreach Now it’s soft on one and over reaching on the other
Did someone order a box
Respect for having one - I tried one in Shanghai, hit a slick metal ramp and had a brown pants moment
I beg you to try one of the early FWD Polestar 2’s, that much power through the front wheels really was…… scary
Rear wheel drive is ridiculously easy in the EV age; why not make cars fun again
Out of interest has the new administration undertaken any actions that benefit the common voter directly in the past 30 days
Can’t believe there were huge, and rare, snowstorms all around Hangzhou but actually none in the city. The amount of disappointment I have right now is unbelievable
He knows me; I’m lovely
This is interesting.
Shame he’s dragging the reputation of his companies down the drain - Tesla will always be the company that made EVs mainstream
Another point id add is that Trump is sometimes genuinely amusing, Musk just comes off as the biggest loser in the room whenever he speaks.
Man whose factory working conditions killed and maimed employees and continued upselling of product features caused customers to slam into firetrucks calls national hero a fraud
we will make it, eventually.
I joined twitter back in the day to talk to global journos and content creators and other car weirdos, now whenever I open the For You page it's full of hate speech or some dude in Ukraine getting whacked by drone or a multi death car crash in Africa etc etc
Action camera company sent me a camera to play with; it’s just really shit. Sending it back, impossible to recommend to others
You know you’ve got an autistic kid when he brings an electric induction cooker repair guide home from the library
Will the native people align with the Canadian forces again
FANTASTIC READING.
