OMG say Euro car makers!!

Who exports MORE automobiles than the USA and Japan COMBINED? Yes, China and BYD is leading the way.

BYD Denz Z9GT = "technical tour de force". Check out these specs:

- 5 minute charge time!
- tri-motor setup that produces 1,140hp
- 0-62mph in just 2.7 seconds
- top speed of 167mph
- rear-wheel independent steering = crab walk

Blackstone Laboratories takes on #LLMs and their use to review motor oil analysis. Basically, #ai just seems to make stuff up. LLMs rely upon publicly available information and don’t have context that is crucial in making recommendations to individuals for their engines.

Tidbit here about EVs in this LA times article:

"...California’s EV adoption keeps climbing, with nearly 1 in 6 new cars fully electric, robust used sales and hundreds of millions in state incentives replacing lost federal rebates...."

(California) "now has more public chargers than gas pumps"

#Carpocalypse sur #ClermontFerrand aujourd'hui.

Pourquoi? Parce que notre nouveau maire de droite joue le bras de fer avec la #T2C, #TransportsEnCommun #Clermontois : réduction des budgets, suppression des couloirs #bus/trambus.

Du coup, c'est la #GrèveDesTransports et sans surprise, un jeudi post-rentrée de septembre, tous les grands axes #automobiles sont bloqués.

Seuls les #piétons et les #cyclistes tirent leur épingle du jeu.

Bravo M. Bony, surtout ne changez rien et continuez à supprimer des couloirs bus (oui, c'est annoncé Cours Sablon, Bd Mitterrand + suppression de la #ZTL de l'hyper-centre)

Merci #vroomer !

Grève, retards, surcoût : rentrée mouvementée dans les transports en commun à #ClermontFerrand

Alors que le nombre d’usagers est en forte hausse depuis la mise en place d’ #InspiRe, les #TransportsEnCommun #clermontois connaissent une rentrée mouvementée, entre l’impact de la réouverture de la rue de l’Oradou aux #automobiles sur la performance du réseau et la perspective d’une grève suivie à la #T2C à partir du mardi 1er septembre.

BYD is pursuing Japan's kei car market as its best opportunity to gain a foothold despite strong consumer loyalty to domestic brands and policy changes that favor Japanese automakers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/08/21/japan/byd-japan-mission/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #byd #evs #automobiles #automakers #japaneseeconomy #china #suzuki #daihatsu #honda #toyota

Nouvelle attaque contre le projet #Inspire !

Voici bientôt poindre le temps de la ré-ouverture aux #automobiles des Bd Mitterrand et Cours Sablon, dans l'hyper-centre de #ClermontFerrand donc.

Ça n'impactera quasiment pas les #TramBus cette fois. En revanche, ça va juste bloquer quasiment tout le réseau #bus classique, une paille donc.

Au même moment, on redonne aussi des facilités de stationnement, toujours en hyper-centre, normal quoi.
