Re: 10% of all new new vehicles sold were EV's

I will ask so it's simple and categorical, do you believe that fossil fuels are the main cause for global warming not to mention all sorts of diseases. You can give an elaborate or a yes or no answer, upto you. Looking forward to that. Because EV's are part-answer to that, there are others but this...

Re: Adani, Hinderberg, Conflict of Interest

Just so people do not misunderstand, most blue chip companies like RIL, Tatas and many others have dozens of analysts who pour over their weekly, fortnightly, monthly and quarterly production as well as earnings call to keep themselves acquainted of what's happening in those specific companies as we...

Re: Half a million workers protesting in UK

@astuteman how would you rate a service, would it be number of doctors to population or some other way. I come from India where the rate of doctor per population has fallen enormously even though populations have gone up. Mortality has gone up but only a little, the same being said of nutrition and ...

Re: 10% of all new new vehicles sold were EV's

What you did not get is that the person who wrote the mail also shared a reality that most sales people in ICE are living pay cheque to pay cheque. Wait, what? You think that has something to do with their cars being ICEs? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Dude, 63% of Americans are living paycheque to paych...

Re: 10% of all new new vehicles sold were EV's

Umm... My dear friend, the clip I share is from Electric Viking, he is all about EV's so to say it's nothing to do with EV vs ICE is just patently false. Especially as you see manufacturer after manufacturer dropping the ball and having less sales. Umm... maybe actually read the email that he is ta...

Re: Major Earthquake in Turkey & Syria Feb. 6-7.8 level-1000's dead

One of the 'partners' of GOI writes this - https://twitter.com/ThePrintIndia/status/1622599808174395393 The Government's aid for Earthquake-hit Turkey demonstrates compassion - and a sharp grasp of geopolitics. President Recep Tayipp Erdogan has claimed leadership of the Muslim World by targetting I...

Re: 10% of all new new vehicles sold were EV's

Umm.... That last being because Tesla started becoming direct and cutting out the middleman. They will be there but only for service. AFAIK, they have pioneered the direct selling idea and now other manufacturers have to go the same way otherwise they lose business. And the other point is valid too...

Re: 10% of all new new vehicles sold were EV's

I agree to the point that it will take time but not as much as you think. That is the reason why even Honda dealers and probably most of the ICE dealerships are into conundrums because the vehicles they are getting they cannot sell. An example of what I mean - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYEosY...

Re: 10% of all new new vehicles sold were EV's

When the regulations are 170 grams and they are producing cars which have higher pollution emissions then they are not meeting regulations, period.

Re: 10% of all new new vehicles sold were EV's

These threads are worth their weight in gold in entertainment value. China has been trying to “catch up” with the US and Western Europe since the 1970s. In some respects they’ve done very well such as inter-city rail. But in many areas they’re still lagging and don’t forget that much of their progr...

Re: 10% of all new new vehicles sold were EV's

OP--How is India doing on EVs? Not OP, but around 1.8% of sales, largely constricted by supply, which now seems to be increasing with BYD joining Tata and MG. In Australia, again constricted by supply and model choice, EV sales are now higher than ICE with manual transmissions. Tesla Model 3 was th...

Re: Adani, Hinderberg, Conflict of Interest

Adani's already lost so much of his net worth, it's not funny. Of course, he's still valued much higher than 5 years ago, so there's still some room to fall perhaps? I'm glad Hindenburg came out with the announcements when they did. At least the retail investors did not get ripped off during the FP...

@Reinhardt, in the first post, didn't you say you don't know why UK has productivity issue.

Now if you are going to throw our manufacturing then for sure you are becoming dependent on ot...
