EV infrastructure really hasnt caught up with the insane EV demand here, went past highway charging bays with a 40+ line up of cars in one service station and decided to just use range extender instead.

European exposure to Chinese EVs made domestic OEMs stronger (see ID Polo etc) Chinese market exposure to Tesla made Chinese EVs stronger (See Zeekr etc) Itss almost as if the Americans dont believe in vaccines.

by 1916 the caspian tiger had been eliminated in Xinjiang the result: Wild boar and mouse populations flourised, destroyed grasslands turning them into deserts, rivers filled with silt, desertification increased, by 2000 it was a disaster zone.

thinking about the time i told Malaysian media that EVs were way better than gas cars and after driving an EV you wont want to go back to gas..... then i got dragged for a week by the entire country anyway paultan.org/car-sales-da...

paultan.org

EV Sales in Malaysia — Electric Car Data & Rankings | paultan.org

EVs accounted for 11.4% of new vehicle registrations in Aug 2026 — 8,833 new registrations, up 2.8 points on the previous month. Proton led the brands, with the Proton e.MAS 5 the month’s best-selling...

So the Tuns wife has passed, consider her the Malaysian "Queen Mother" in terms of relevance. I hired Fazil as soon as Geely acquired Proton in 2017 because I had no idea what to do regarding Malaysian customs, he turned out to be a life long friend.

however for Chinese cars to be successful globally they need to have a proper understanding of local market dynamics: - EV Efficiency needs to improve - Deeper understanding of local digital services - Faster + efficient parts supply chain - Greater cooperation frameworks with insurance + finance

on one hand, a modern society demands transparency from govt officials during acts of indiscriminate attacks like this on the other, how do you avoid inspiring copy cats incidents by other incels that revel at the prospect of being notorious how do you balance this?

Was invited to a Binjiang District Govt event today - the chief of the district turned up with her lieutenants from immigration, education, police and city services and asked us "How can we make your lives better?" for about 20+ foreigners. This is good governance.

Extremely interesting tear down of 2019 + 2023 DJI Mini drone series to see if the USA could also produce a consumer drone of the same caliber as DJI. www.arenaphysica.com/publications...

I'm not trying to criticize anybody but, as a person on the back end of their career, let me give you this advice: Do not live for your job. Your job can be fun, interesting, even fulfilling, but do not live for it. Do not base your identity on it. Your employer does not give a shit about you.
