" sorry deposit holders, you're going to have to wait another ½ year" Sure, you can get out of line in disgust, just forfeit your $6,800 deposit LOL Did someone say that Volkswagen has changed their dishonest ways? Amid delays, Audi e-tron buyers cry foul over $6,800 cancellation penalty - LeftLaneNews .
Yeek, another dose of e-bad news... Audi burning their early adopters, Tesla melting down, China making noises about restricting rare earth sales... Rough week for the wattburners.
Even so, with China needing to get rid of all the coal burning stoves and whatnot, it's very likely they will go forward with everything Electric. .
No argument there, though it's now a bit less likely the results will have either four circles or a big bent T on the front.
Have they already started building their gigafactory in China? That can only serve to help the Chinese cause, although they wouldn't be the first ones to cut off their nose to spite their face. Many of us @ the mouse house went to China to work on their version Disneyland ( sort of a settlement for the fake Disney that China - the king of crappy fake knock-offs) built prior to) - & man, many of us wore respirators. Never imagined that the weather forecast would include nasty particulate from people operating their coal furnaces and cooking stoves. .
I'm getting ready to go over there to help extend somebody else's media empire. I hadn't picked out any dust masks yet. Now i want a "war respirator." (Like the old saying goes, anyone can wreck a nice beach... )
This bad boy was my weapon of choice; Dual stage / dual cartridge As a kid of the 60s with a chain-smoking dad, then later working with a chain smoking Japanese company? ...... a perfect recipe to acquire multiple chemical sensitivities & asthma symptoms while breathing too much crud. Sure the whole country isn't nasty like Shanghai, but yeah. Here's a shot from around a ½ decade ago when yours truly was NOT willing to be breathing the raw - unfiltered Shanghai junk; Price of progress. Any wonder why their government is pushing EV's?
i read yesterday that bmw stockholders were none too pleased with the pace of electric advancement at the annual meeting. some saying tesla was getting further and further ahead and calling for the ceo's head, and getting wild applause.
My brother is moving to Shanghai for a couple of years and we’ll have the “opportunity” to visit. I know what I need to pack now. Hoping the situation has changed some since your pic.
Not really much change - but it varies day to day ...... so you check the smog forcast prior to going out; Shanghai Air Pollution: Real-time Air Quality Index .
