I profiled BYD, whose stratospheric rise to become the world's largest EV maker almost beggars belief.
No silver bullet transformed BYD into what it's become; rather, it achieved excellence in several areas all at once — and its competition isn't ready.

One of the things I found most striking while reporting this piece:
In 2013, BYD's flagship EV, the e6, cost $49,000 b/f subsidies and had a 300km range.
In April, it released the Seagull, with an identical range, which starts at $11,000.
That's a 75% fall in $$ in 10 years.

That's a 75% fall in $$ in 10 years.
That ability to slash prices is possible in large part because BYD is incredibly vertically integrated.
That meant that while most of the auto industry was hobbled by the pandemic, BYD was spitting out cars.
Between Q1 '21 and Q1 '23, its sales increased more than 500%.

A source familiar w/ the investigation, who personally watched the police body camera video, tells us SF DA's office got it right, adding that the video shows police knocking the door, then backing away. Door then opens from the inside and you can see Paul Pelosi opening it.

Does who opened the door matter? We have no reason to believe it does, but with so many conspiracy theories already swirling online, contradicting stories from investigators are only fueling falsehoods.
DOJ & DA's office did not respond to our request for comment.

2/ Jenkins says as DA, "all crime" is now considered illegal in San Francisco.
She says her predecessor Chesa Boudin (recalled by voters in June) ordered staff not to pursue charges for quality of life crimes (i.e. graffiti), resisting arrest, & certain assaults against cops.

@SeattleParks spokesperson also says it’s HQ was vandalized.
But my parks sources are asking why there’s no mention of the msg left behind saying, “You sweep, we attack. You sweep we strike.”
Sources believe radical homeless activists are behind this brazen vandalism.#Seattle

@BILD just revealed that the “industry list” of weapons, German companies offer to Ukraine, was sharply cut short by @OlafScholz’ government before giving 🇺🇦 the chance to buy arms in Germany.
Among others, all heavy weapons were removed from it.

bild.de/bild-plus/poli…
While Ukraine was offered Marder IFV, Boxer APC and even Leopard-2 MBT as well as Panzerhaubitze 2000 by German companies, it is not allowed to buy any of these systems in Germany now, despite having all of them on a “needs” list, handed by 🇺🇦 MoD to 🇩🇪 MoD in late March.
Even worse, Kyiv sent two more desperate requests for heavy weapons to Berlin on April 9 and April 16 - just three days before the Scholz speech. Both of them were ignored and our @Bundeskanzler falsely claimed yesterday that the “industry list” was coordinated with the 🇺🇦 MoD.

La raison principale est qu’une entreprise, ou l’Etat, peut avoir besoin de renforts et/ou d’expertise sur un sujet spécifique et pour une période courte.
Prétendre être expert sur tout et tout le temps est un mensonge qui est l’apanage des experts auto-proclamés.

We obtained a foreign intelligence report, detailing the Russian plans for the “post-war-order” in Ukraine.
The report - based on Russian government discussions - details how pro-Kremlin forces are to take over Ukrainian cities and surrender them to the occupation army, the Verkhovna Rada is replaced by a FSB-picked “People’s Rada” which appoints a Kremlin loyal puppet government,
which then proclaims a state of emergency in 🇺🇦, clamping down on all 🇺🇦 dissidents to the new regime & putting those opposing it into detention camps.
As a last step, 🇷🇺 plans a national “referendum”, tuning the nation of 🇺🇦 into a autonomous region of a Moscow-led “union state”

3. En fait, l'interlocuteur de #Meadows, qui serait #Perry, proposait dès le lendemain du vote que les législatures républicaines d'Etats encore disputés (Géorgie, Caroline du Nord, Pennsylvanie) désignent leurs propres grands électeurs et que tout cela remonte à la #CourSuprême

According to information, exclusively obtained by @BILD, Chinese internet company #Tencent is trying to buy German games developer #Crytek for more than 300 Million Euros via a European subsidiary.
Crytek supplies several western armies with military simulation programs.
Multiple employees of Crytek, based in Frankfurt, are afraid, that if their company is sold to China, their software will be used for military purpose by the PLA or China will use its ownership of the company to spy on western militaries and arms manufacturers, using CryEngine.
According to our investigation, Tencent - claiming to be an independent company - is highly pro-CCP and already in 2017 promised to the Chinese leadership that it will raise its party member share sharply from 23% at this time - especially in leading company positions.

#SCOOP A person familiar w/case tells @CBSNews the leader of the Proud Boys - Enrique Tarrio - was arrested shortly after leaving DCA (in a vehicle) on a charge of destruction of property (misdemeanor) connected to the burning of a BLM banner/flag from DC church. He is being
booked by MPD + because it is a misdemeanor, he will most likely be released as early as this evening. Hate crime charges were considered, however the person familiar said, there was a lack of evidence to support those charges. The source said the destruction of
property charge was brought + under seal. On timing, the source said the arrest was not related to the pending demonstrations, rather directly related to Tarrio's return to DC and his alleged past conduct.
