TSLA is toast.
An enormous domestic market and fierce competition have pushed down vehicle and sensor costs in China. Even so, operators of self-driving cars have not yet turned a profit
Why China is pulling ahead in the robotaxi race
Government enthusiasm and cheap technology are giving it an edge

So, both attempting to nullify the actions of the prior president while at the same time threatening to prosecute him. Truly unprecedented territory.
Trump claims “any document” signed by Joe Biden is “hereby terminated.”
He calls out executive orders later but obviously “any document” would be much broader and include legislation.
(He can’t legally do that but, as always, we get to watch how far he can push this without repercussions)

“… the idea that the US was Denmark’s largest and most important ally was dead. “Alliances are built on common values and a common threat perception,” Kaarsbo said. “Trump shares neither of those with us and I would argue he doesn’t share it with most Europeans.”

You know what we won't need once handwriting recognition software has done its thing? Archivists, curators, conservators, catalogers, codicologists, or paleographers. We won't need archives either. We won't need diplomatics, editorial theory, book or media history, or material culture studies 🗃️🧵

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.
Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.
