Oh but I actually agree with you!

Honestly it’s a lot of calendar management and Trello boards. But we get to share on the cost of subscriptions, which is nice.

I find the ones that are super open to the point where it’s kind of their whole personality tend to be the drama-llamas. There are plenty of polyciles out there in plain sight quite happy because they don’t go around broadcasting it.

To be fair, it’s not like the article is saying sales have gone up 20% or anything like that, just that interest has.

There should be a correlation of starch interest and buyer interest.

To be fair, not to defend the CEO at all but when this story first broke it was so wild that you knew someone had to be making up some serious bullshit but it was just so out there, it could have been either side.

Why anyone decided to pick sides is beyond me, this is why courts exist.

How does BYD make money on this

The same way Tesla makes money with their own supercharger network - they sell cars and electric via the chargers.

The reason BYD is building these specific chargers is because their future cars will be able to use them to charge at insane speeds but only if a charger can handle it. Right now most “fast” chargers max out at about 350kW, even the bran d new ones. There’s a few omising 400kW or even 500kW but BYD is marketing cars that can do 1000kW.

They need some chargers to exist so they can sell those cars, it’s better for them to start building it than waiting years for the rest of the industry to catch up.

Yup, china is going to gladly take all that influence. Electrification in the rest of the world isn’t suddenly going to stop, it’s just going to come from elsewhere.

I appreciate the sentiment because I also hate ads, but just because you’re not spending your disposable income on premium doesn’t mean you couldn’t theoretically spend it on something else.

Yeah I never quite understood why when something “sucks” it’s a bad thing, but when something “blows” it’s also bad? Yet a good blow job or suck job is the best!

No, just filthy.
