They have quite a bit of supply, so maybe the sales will encourage them to fix this one supply corridor?
Supply? If you're talking about the ability to keep up with demand then clearly you weren't around during the blackouts because the weather was too cold. https://wpln.org/post/tennesse...

What China seems to understand is that making EVs inexpensive and smaller is exactly what a LOT of people are looking for. The fact that after this tariff a consumer will still pay (likely) less than what other manufacturers are charging for their vehicles. I don't need a Canyonero that's massive with every bell and whistle. Give me a small commuter car that gets me around the city and doesn't crush my bank account.

You don't know what you are talking about, you don't know what mRNA

"experts" or watched youtube videos by charlatans that don't know what
they are talking about.
But dammit, regardless of where you have gotten your mis-information
from, any Linux kernel discussion list isn't going to have your
idiotic drivel pass uncontested from me.
Vaccines have saved the lives of literally tens of millions of people.
Just for your edification in case you are actually willing to be
educated: mRNA doesn't change your genetic sequence in any way. It is
the exact same intermediate — and temporary — kind of material that
your cells generate internally all the time as part of your normal
cell processes, and all that the mRNA vaccines do is to add a dose
their own specialized sequence that then makes your normal cell
machinery generate that spike protein so that your body learns how to
recognize it.
The half-life of mRNA is a few hours. Any injected mRNA will be all
gone from your body in a day or two. It doesn't change anything
long-term, except for that natural "your body now knows how to
recognize and fight off a new foreign protein" (which then tends to
fade over time too, but lasts a lot longer than a few days). And yes,
while your body learns to fight off that foreign material, you may
feel like shit for a while. That's normal, and it's your natural
response to your cells spending resources on learning how to deal with
the new threat. ...
Get vaccinated. Stop believing the anti-vax lies.
And if you insist on believing in the crazy conspiracy theories, at
least SHUT THE HELL UP about it on Linux kernel discussion lists."

Submission + - Russian inspection satellite, Cosmos2542 synchronizes orbit with KH11 USA245 (dailymail.co.uk)
schwit1 writes: A Russian satellite has been shifting its position in orbit to bring it closer to a US spy satellite, according to publicly available data.
The Russian satellite, called Cosmos 2542, synchronised its orbit with USA 245, a US reconnaissance satellite deployed for military and intelligence applications.
The movement of the Russian satellite was tracked on Thursday by Michael Thompson, a graduate student and independent satellite tracker, and detailed on Twitter.
Cosmos 2542 has had the capability to observe USA 245 consistently for the past week and is ‘loitering’ around US 245 in consistent view, he said.
