NEW: Hormuz reminded fuel importers that buying energy cargo by cargo means importing every price shock.
In TIME, María Mendiluce and I argue the response will decide who becomes the electrostates of the next decade.

After months of disengaging FSD at this exact intersection because it gets it wrong about 80% of the time, I finally decided to let it handle it today. There was no traffic around, so I wanted to see what it would actually do without me intervening.
And just as expected… it made a completely illegal maneuver.
Same mistake, months later. This really needs fixing, @TeslaSI @teslaeurope

Do EVs and heat pumps deliver no carbon savings until the grid is fully decarbonised? A recent paper claimed so. It's wrong.
Even running entirely on gas-fired power, both cut emissions by about half.

Steve Jobs took 19 seconds to name the biggest lesson Apple taught him:
“When I see something not being done right, my first reaction isn’t to go fix it.”
Haha, with Optimus behind the wheel, lol.

Paris gelingt, was Berlin fehlt. Die Stadt für Fahrradverkehr konsequent umzubauen. Weniger CO2, bessere Gesundheit durch weniger Feinstaub und mehr Bewegung, schneller, kostengünstiger.
Paris macht einfach weiter! Der Nachfolger von Anne Hidalgo und neue Bürgermeister Emmanuel Grégoire hat heute seine Fahrrad-Pläne für seine erste Amtszeit bis 2032 vorgestellt. Hier seine 5 wichtigsten Maßnahmen:
- 140 Kilometer an neuen Radwegen
- 220 Kilometer neue Fahrradstraßen in Einbahnstraßen
- 420 neue fahrradfreundliche und sichere Kreuzungen
- 200 Mio. Euro in den Ausbau der Radinfrastruktur
- Aufbau einer eigenen Polizeieinheit, um gegen motorisierte Gewalt gegenüber Fahrradfahrern vorzugehen🙏
So schön zu sehen wie in Paris der lebenswerte Umbau der Stadt unbeirrt vorangeht und wie die 🇫🇷 Hauptstadt immer mehr zu einer wunderbaren Fahrradstadt wird❤️
Let’s go!

Amai, over choose your battles gesproken. Echt?
WTF! De Herentse burgemeester Luk Draye moet zich verantwoorden bij de gouverneur omwille van een out-of-office-mailbericht in de drie landstalen.
101 problemen. Maar dit is er geen van.

Russia continues to bomb Ukraine and kill civilians every night. Meanwhile, the FBI director is in Russia tweeting “From Russia, with Love.”
Absolutely disgraceful.

In September, China's combustion vehicle (ICE) sales dropped to just a third of the market for the first time
Battery electric vehicles are getting close to half of the market (47.3%), while Plug-ins added another 19.7%.
Only 5 years from >90% to 33% ICE.

"In the face of ever more extreme and unpredictable climate risks, I am coming under pressure to cut my forecasts for the losses that disasters will cause in order to make insurance more affordable."

Well, it’s the German authorities who decided, so I’m afraid the other brands will have to comply.
FSD už je v Evropě minulostí. Nově se jmenuje Tesla Assisted Driving - TAD. 😄
A když už máme TAD, napadlo mě, jak by podobná logika dopadla u ostatních značek:
Tesla Assisted Driving = TAD
Mercedes Assisted Driving = MAD
Škoda Assisted Driving = SAD
BMW Assisted Driving = BAD
Tak nevím… TAD z toho pořád vychází docela dobře. 😂
Která zkratka sedí nejvíc? 👇

The distributed solar power boom in Pakistan and the Philippines is driving down the need for fossil-powered electricity.
Solar is "gradually reducing the market share and operating hours of fossil fuel plants” says Ember's Alnie Demoral via Bloomberg.

EVs in the UK are "running out of juice"...except they're not..and never were.
Again and again, critics have doubted EVs, yet the market simply keeps on growing.

some interviews are just comedy gold
"How big is the threat to premium manufacturers like BMW, Mercedes and Porsche?"
"I don't see any danger at all for German premium manufacturers. Whether Volvo, Jaguar or Alfa Romeo, Citroën or Infiniti: Everyone tried to conquer the German premium market – and no one made it.
The Chinese will not succeed either."
🤣🤣🤣

It’s has been over for awhile, but this is a great milestone.
