Wind turbines, not wind mills. Also: I'm going to take a guess here and assume that Hays Ks is in USA?

Essential because it weakens the EU

The FY2025 vs FY2024 numbers were plenty damning. Comparing January 2026 to previous Januaries is kinda silly given how much monthly fluctuation there is, and how few markets actually report on Monthly numbers

I quite enjoyed this episode showing some maintenance work (motor oil changes, suspension wear and tear, brake disc skimming) of a high mileage, low cost EV.

Even better, it's 17.4% for EU, but this increases to 19.5% if including UK and EFTA

Unfortunately we all suffer in the long run by the lethargic pace of the US transition to EVs, because the climate is global.

Not that it's a surprise. Remember that the US pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement. Twice.

It often feels like EV fires make major headlines while ICE vehicle fires go under reported despite being order of magnitude more likely and common. Nice to see an ICE vehicle fire actually making media headlines for a change.

All seem like welcome changes, but the price for the specs is still the sticking point for me, compared to BMW ix3 announced pricing anyway.

With the whole Greenland thing, I can imagine that people in Denmark especially would be against buying a car from an American brand

Europeans and Canadians don't want to buy American anything anymore.

$TSLA fanbois always claim that only Tesla can sell EVs at a profit / with a huge margin (something like $10k per vehicle). Would be interested to see what kind of margin per vehicle they are making now that the tax credits are removed and it appears that much of the profit came from energy storage.

Not surprising that they are killing S and X

S, X and CT sold a combined 50,850 globally in 2025, down from 85,133 the year before. Actually 2025 was the lowest number since 2021.

Only surprising part is that they are not killing the CT and continue to promise the roadster.

So no longer S3XY as originally planned. Now 3YCTR? R3CTY?

Misleading. This was for one month of data (not even a quarter) and fails to mention that the most popular fuel type in that month of sales was petrol hybrids. EVs outsold pure petrol cars only, because they are becoming rare. EVs did not oursell cars which get their energy from petrol.

Canadian national security is threatened more by the USA than it is by China at the moment. It's incredible, but it's true.

I still struggle to see this competing with BMW iX3 as a value proposition

How surprising, Farage echoes Putin and Trump.

Farage also said UK would be a better place after Brexit.
