This is likely due to the difference in market segments, electric vehicles in North America occupy the high-end segment, which prices out most consumers whereas the Chinese market prices for the majority of consumers by using agressive government subsidies.

Some have speculated that this is so they can price out the compition as these subsidies are unsustainable, but I'm frankly not qualified to examine it.

Back in the early 2010s, I used to work for AT&T but lived in a place with good internet and I'd be selling 24 megabits per second internet to people while I had symmetrical gigabit.

It absolutely broke my heart.

Listen, by dying to the same boss 63 times, I'm just making sure I'm getting my money's worth.

Most high refresh rate screens on a phone will adjust dynamically to the use-case as to not waste battery.

Apple's big selling point is the Apple ecosystem and their familiar UI to the phone market, If you're an new player trying to take market share, it only makes sense that you copy their UI.

That being said, use whatever works for you.

A deadly weapon given how much the ruling class is trying to turn a class war into an identity war.

Fair point, but I meant mostly in the context of wholesale products derived mainly from Petroleum.

I really, really, really hope that's a work truck. Because if that's for a family, society is lost.

It's because of money men like these that I think the guillotine may need to make a comeback.
