Trump-Israel war causing rocketing gasoline prices in China, despite China buying Putin's oil

prices already went up March 9th, & there's a scheduled price hike set for March 23rd

between those 2 price hikes, it'll cost folks US$9 to 10 more to fill the tank. ouch!

ignore the idiots who keep getting confused by Shanghai factory export numbers - Tesla is still struggling in the intense China market

Tesla China sales were down in 2025 and they'll very likely be down in 2026 as well

Tesla's China sales (mainland sales only, no exports) are at 56,691 vehicles in Jan + Feb 2026 (18,485 + 38,206)

that's DOWN 6.3% from 60,480 in Jan + Feb 2025

Hope they get sued

Thanks for the regular reminder that "manufactured in Shanghai" is not the same as Tesla China sales data. That local sales data for February isn't available yet.

Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden.

The UK Climate Change Committee’s latest analysis suggests the opposite.

The real risk is fossil fuel dependency.

Today i just noticed the giant cylinders on the back of some Chinese trucks are partly frozen over ❄️ I'm guessing it's Liquid Natural Gas power, which has been around for a while.

next step: ditch all the gases and shift to BEV trucks
