These figures are just for March, too! Just how much higher April’s figures will be?
There was also a bit of a run on solar home batteries here in Australia (somewhat related, but also due to a reduction in rebates from May 1st) - I can’t help but also wonder how big of a jump in export those figures would be if/when published.
It’s kind of funny how China was basically preparing their whole economy for exactly this moment. Countries will want solar panels, and then they’re going to need batteries to stabilize the grid, and EVs to get around. All this overcapacity the US has been screeching about is turning out to be very prudent indeed.
I mean, China has positioned itself as the world’s factory - so regardless of outcomes they were all but guaranteed to succeed.
It’s just funny (in a black comedy sense) just how badly American corporations have hamstring their future chances of success chasing short-term profits.
Tesla was the industry leader for modern EVs for so damned long, and they’ve seemingly pissed that all away. They’re no longer the fastest, cheapest, luxurious, or technologically advanced cars in the market - and this was all before Must went full derp-MAGA and alienated the vast majority of their customer base.
I recall somebody said that Tesla is much better understood as a meme stock company, and honestly that’s the best description of it that I’ve heard. The stock value is completely divorced from the actual product, it’s just hype. And as a result the company focuses on ensuring hype persists rather than making decent products.
