There are three letters keeping Tesla bulls up at night: BYD.

That’s the carmaker eating everyone’s lunch in China, the world’s biggest auto market, and rapidly gaining market share around the globe (except in the United States, of course, because of longstanding trade restrictions on Chinese imports).

Tesla’s No.1 rival is practically taunting Elon Musk now

On Monday, BYD reported $107 billion in revenue for 2024 — crossing the $100 billion level for the first time and besting Tesla’s annual revenue by about $10 billion. That milestone came a week after BYD unveiled a charging system that it says will give its latest EV model 250 miles of range after plugging in for just five minutes.

BYD’s Hong Kong-listed shares are already up more than 50% this year.

The Chinese company’s week of blowout news should amount to a rather satisfying dunk on Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who once scoffed at the idea of BYD as a competitor and who is currently a rather unpopular member of the Trump administration. (Trust us, we did polling!)

Schadenfreude: pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.

That's what I'm experiencing now.

I hope that South African Nazi's life is totally destroyed.

The longer he stays attached to Trump's sphincter, the more likely that is.

Everyone who comes in contact with Trump eventually has their life destroyed.

Rot in hell, you Nazi piece of it   

Gays & Rednecks are two sides of the same Lefty coin

Trumps tariffs and musks stupidity in supporting him will push many western countries towards BYD

I was in Singapore recently and they're everywhere there.  More popular and more feature packed than Teslas.

The future is looking good.

If only we had affordable green energy and storage options as the mainstream norm in Australia.

But we'd need to find another way to fund our roads.

Oh I thought that's why you flagged it. But they do have solar, about 4.5% peak.

So would unicorn farts and they are as rare. Wind farms are starting to close.

"The Codrington Wind Farm in south-west Victoria is expected to shut operations by 2027 before being decommissioned.

The company behind the wind farm says reusing the site is financially unviable."

Large scale Solar slowdowns.

"Is the BESS boom contributing to a wind and solar farm slowdown?
Published Date : 2023-November-8, Wednesday

The Clean Energy Council (CEC) recently produced some alarming statistics regarding the lack of investment in large-scale renewable energy projects in the first quarter of this year.

As noted by the CEC, “No renewable generation projects reached financial close in Q1 2023” indicating a worrying gap in construction activity going forward. And the signs are Q2 will not be much better."

The cause of the Spanish Power failure has not been determined, officailly. Though it seems increaingly clear the lack of grid inertia due to solar and wind, may have played an importan part.

"“Renewables introduce a new paradigm in electric power generation—they generate power without needing large rotating masses. This means that with more renewables, the inertia of the power grid is reduced. Less inertia can make the grid more agile but also more fragile during sudden disturbances.” (Ali Mehrizi-Sani)"

Ali Mehrizi-Sani, Virginia Tech professor and director of the Power and Energy Center

The fluctuations were occurring within the Spanish grid.

How much inertia mass is enough?

LOL. "I don't know but I suspect it is cherry-picked".

Oh dear, can't even use English correctly. It should be "of". And what calibre would it be? 0.45?

But you haven't posted about your conclusions. Was it too hard to read the link or don't you trust OUR ABC anymore?

I don't ignore you, I laugh at you.

And you still didn't give us your conclusions.
