Newest Chinese EV can charge in the same amount of time it takes to fill a gas tank (and it's under $30k) Maybe Elon should stop his DC vandalism spree and do some real work www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti... - ThreadSky

This new technology out of China will impact the all US automakers, not just Tesla.

Falling behind in key technologies because of byzantine internal divisions is another one on the dying empire bingo card.

FAFO
Dear Elon, this is to let you know you are toast and will be toast and will burn as toast.
Love, me

Game over for Western carmaking

Before we declare this the EV saviour please just do a little math. At home I can charge at about 10 kW, anything higher than that requires a fairly specific electrical system.
On the road 100 kW chargers are common but limited by electrical supply lines. These cars need 1000 kW chargers.

350-400 kW are about as big as they get now on US roads, doesn't seem feasible to build much bigger.

If there’s one thing we can say about technology, it’s that it’ll stay pretty much the same as it is now, forever.

waldo42.bsky.social•9 days ago

The technology of copper wires and transformers hasn't changed much in a while.

toastr.bsky.social•9 days ago

No one needs to charge in 10 minutes at home. This is the gas station equivalent for EVs.

If I’m a restaurant owner this is in my parking lot as an additional revenue source or leader to sell more Big Macs.

I’m not calling it a savior because EVs don’t need saving. This is an accelerator.

If you have the grid support to put a 5000 amp circuit in your parking lot that would be great!

Tesla has a real Blackberry vibe now.

Except without inventing things.

zoesamuel.bsky.social•9 days ago

Also, Blackberry had buttons.

adurnbaugh.bsky.social•9 days ago

I miss my Blackberry.

C'mon now. Elon did manage to build a car that's 75% effective at killing its occupants in a fire.

China is so far ahead of us in many ways.

How much of the “real work” did he ever do? Ditching radar and lidar was a huge blunder. Leveraged up to the hilt if Tesla tanks Elon is in trouble. And that’s good news!

Your description of Elon’s activities as a “vandalism spree” is perfect. I should know as the last decade of my career as a public defender was representing juveniles and young adults!

The real quiet quitters: Musk and Zuck and Dimon.

If I tell you this company is nicknamed "Burn Your Driveway", I'm sure you'll be able to get that straight out of your head, like I haven't. 😂
But seriously, good luck to them, if they're pushing the technology forward and getting the jump on Tesla.

Wish this wasn’t paywalled.
