Tesla sales in China (retail sales only; not the stupid & pointless "wholesale" figure) are DOWN 12% year-on-year at the September mark: Q1+Q2+Q3 2025 = 432,704 🚘 Q1+Q2+Q3 2026 = 381,088 Many other brands like Nio, Xpeng, Xiaomi, Huawei, have rising sales despite the weak overall car market

Here’s a great example of a simple & cheap comfort and convenience feature in a Chinese EV - a fold-out tray table that also opens out to be a makeup table That’s in the sub-US$20k MG 07 It’s incompetence & a lack of imagination that’s stopping western & Japanese automakers adding stuff like that

Plate scanning for car parks works very well in China & UK, in my experience. I guess surveillance company Flock struggles because US license plates are total chaos!? In one California town, Flock misread license plates in 71% of the alerts it sent to police www.businessinsider.com/flock-camera...

when - or IF - Rivian expands to Europe, i'm thinking it's gonna look bad compared to Chinese EVs available in Europe. eg: Rivian R2 charges at a meagre 230kw - that's below HALF the 525kw charging in the Xpeng G9 (pic). and the Zeekr 7X can do 450kw #EVs #EVsky
