I was not aware of the 10% base duty for all cars into EU.
But the rates you state are general for a brand, but do not account for per model negotiations:

https://www.reuters.com/world/china/eu-tariffs-imports-china-made-evs-2026-02-11/

Carmakers can now negotiate tariff exemptions for individual electric models imported from China.

Cupra Tavascan has achieved a 0% duty, and Tesla is 7.8%.
I suspect several of the more popular Chinese models, have negotiated lower rates too.

Interesting how different Ryzen and Core Ultra have become, Ryzen with 6 dual threaded cores, and Intel with 6 P cores and 12 E cores that are all single threaded. Intel clearly win the overall performance here, which they should with 3 times as many cores and 50% higher power consumption, and that considered Intel multi threading is a bit underwhelming compared to AMD IMO.

With the 50% higher power draw om the Intel, you need a way better cooler, or it will get noisy under high loads.
I guess both CPU's are good options, but personally I kind of favor the AMD as a more elegant solution IMO, and also longer motherboard lifespan, that probably will make it possible to make a cheap upgrade in a couple of years, just swapping the CPU for something twice as powerful.

On my current but ancient 350B motherboard, I'm on my third updated Ryzen CPU! Starting at a modest Ryzen R5 1600, and now I have an R7 5800X. Which is still modest, but good enough for me.

Ai work is usually very low precision.

Apparently 😋

I don't understand how FP4 is useful for anything, unless I misunderstand it only uses 4 bits, and with 4 bit's you can only have 16 different values?! With FP4 this is even reduced to 15 values as the first digit signifies negative, so 0000 and 1000 are both zero.

If you are in the USA, I think so. Probably including January and February.
The illegal war against Iran however, could throw the global economy into a recession very quickly.
And the only ones to blame are Israel and USA.

How does Trump idiocy suddenly reflect on Iran losing the narrative?
Seems to me that Iran has taken control of the narrative, while USA and Israel are losing it completely.

OK, obviously I mean you can't contain it 100% like with other things. Hydrogen will always slowly seep out of any container.
I have edited the post to reflect the 100%, specifically in your honor.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I never claimed you can't store Hydrogen, it's not a big problem for short term storage, but you can't store it like you can everything else.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Transport will always be necessary, and we've done it with oil based fuels for more than a century.
Even electricity requires transportation through wires, to charge an EV, and when charged the car needs to transport the electricity with it in a battery.
AFAIK the waste transporting electricity in the electric grid is about 10% on average.

But I agree that the way we transport electricity is way more elegant and practical.

the technology does not scale.

And exactly how do you conclude that? That quad propeller Airbus design is at least 100 passengers, and Airbus say you can also burn Hydrogen directly in jet engines.

IDK, I guess they expect that with the societies broken and Arab countries abandoning USA, they will be the only country left standing.
It's insane, just about as insane as it was for USA to enter the war.

You obviously don't understand the difference between hydrogen and every other form of gas. Another issue with hydrogen is that it is extremely chemically active, and will make steel brittle.
But you just continue your arrogant ignorance.
Of course there will always be a "best" form of container, but you can never make a perfect container that actually contains it completely, like you can with everything else.

My comment that I can't see if I am not logged in to Youtube:

@buffalox8492 for 2 timer siden (redigeret) How is that piece of sh*t car street legal in Norway?
The design conflicts with standards that protect soft/vulnerable road users as well as other cars and the driver, The sharp edges are a hazard to soft traffic, and, the extreme rigidity lacking crumbling zones and weight of the car is an insane danger to everybody, even including the driver. And there are numerous safety issues with the technology that you depend on to drive it.and something as simple as the lights on the car are simply designed wrong for safety!
I thought Norway observed EU standards, but apparently not. Shame on them for allowing this car on their roads. Norwegians should demand to have it removed ASAP! For their own safety. Be warned, This is probably the worst most dangerous car to drive in modern times!

This video explains some of the problems that make it illegal in UK:

Across its full range, Tesla sold just 83 vehicles in total in January 2026, marking an 88 percent decline compared to the same period last year.

With little innovation and lacking new models, Tesla has decided to cut prices again, this time the price of the model 3 is cut by 10%.

This may be to regain some of the lost marketshare. But it may also be because they simply have too much stock.
Cutting production is expensive, and obviously producing just to stockpile unsold products is expensive too.

I have no doubt that this price cut is an act of desperation, not a result of being competitive. Tesla is losing money no matter if they cut production or they cut the prices or they stock up on unsold product.

Whichever is the case, I had a good laugh that the Swasticars are so hard to sell Tesla has to cut prices yet again, and that's despite inflation.

Allegedly the profitability on a Tesla car was recently estimated at just 2%, so cutting the price by 10% is going to hurt for them.

Here's a link to a story about it by a major news outlet in Denmark:

Anton Gerashchenko on Bluesky story about a strike at a nuclear plant with documentation:

The post contains video from the situation.

As I've been posting many times before, many workers in Russia are behind on payments. People working in factories being 3 months behind is not uncommon.
Anna from Ukraine explains the situation here. She is a good source IMO, because her English is excellent, and being Ukrainian she understands Russian, and makes frequent news updates about the Ukrainian war from various perspectives.

Inside Russia on youtube was first to report on the Russian population beginning to have had enough to a degree they are actually beginning to complain:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoR5_bJywWQ

I've claimed before I don't think Putin will last through the winter, and I see this as the first signs that the Russian people is about to have had enough.
The story reported by Anna and Gerashchenko tells that the workers are at least 2 months behind on wages, they were promised transportation to work, something that is important because of the lack of fuel, and public transport becoming unreliable. But they do not get the promised transportation. They were also promised 1 hot meal per day, but do not receive that either.
Finally in their homes, they are out of water and heat.

This is the economic and infrastructure collapse many have predicted was inevitable, that is now beginning to really show. And it isn't even really winter yet!

PS: The moderators removed my previous post with false accusations, so here it is posted again according to their demands.

 

1: 12.992 electric cars sold, the most electric cars sold in one month.
2: 91% market share with private buyers.

FDM warns of errors in several models from Tesla, and FDM has now been successful by the Danish Road Safety Authority. FDM has previously described that there are several cases of significant veil in the rear suspension and in the steering column of the popular Model 3.

The Danish Road Safety Authority has stated that the motorists' interest organization, FDM, rightly did not approve two Tesla Model 3 by sight after the car owners had independently complained about the demand for omsyn.

FDM said in a statement.

In both cases, the sight results were due to "too much veil in bushings in rear-wheel suspension".

However, Tesla found no faults and thought the electric cars should have been approved, which led to complaints and the Traffic Agency's review. Many Teslas have "veil in the bushing"

The agency concludes that the cars had a significant veil and that the vision had been carried out correctly in both cases.

Earlier in the year, the FDM warned that there are many Teslas that have veils in bushings in the rear-wheel suspension and in the steering column. See also FDM comes with call for Tesla owners

Veils in rear suspensions mean that there is a looseness or abnormal movement in the parts that connect the car's rear wheel to the car itself.

This applies to both the Model 3 and Model Y. According to FDM, around 37,000 Model 3 and more than 40,000 Model Y have been registered in Denmark. The error is seen on newer cars

Usually you first see the problem on older cars, which have driven many kilometers, but FDM has seen several models with the error early in the life expectancy of the cars.

It creates doubts about the safety of cars, writes FDM, who has contacted Tesla to get the company to solve the problems. See also Tesla gets fined for flawed marketing

"We expect Tesla to help drivers, as it is not fair that the consumer has an additional cost of repair and possibly overhaul, because the car has a fault it shouldn't have," said Lone Otto, area manager in FDM's technical advice.

At the beginning of the year, FDM said that almost one in four Model 3 from the year 2020, which last year was for inspection, failed - among other things because of veils.

For other electric cars, the dump percentage was nine.
