EV Clinic has fully “pwned” the Tesla LDU down to its core — reverse-engineering every electronic and mechanical flaw/coolant failure, then systematically eliminating the weaknesses. The result is the LDU Tesla originally promised but EVC delivered: engineered for a 1-million-kilometer lifespan, with real-world units already exceeding 850,000 km. Tesla’s...

Model 3/Y Achilles’ Heel – The Maintenance Nobody Expects Over the past multiple months, we’ve been analysing one of the most overlooked causes of Model 3/Y battery overheating, compressor failures, and HVAC-related powertrain issues. Most people assume the problem starts with the compressor, software, or the heat pump itself. It doesn’t. We’ve also seen many third-party workshops incorrectly servicing heat pump systems. Instead of properly evacuating the refrigerant and compressor oil by opening the Octovalve, they recover only part of the system and then add around 1,000 g of new refrigerant on top of the 500 g still trapped inside - and statement were “ah it was only missing gas issue”. The result is an overcharged system that can destroy HVAC components. What many don’t realise is that HVAC is one of the most critical systems in an EV. Just 30 seconds of insufficient cooling can overheat components such as the OBC (for example Kia ICCU), damage an Audi e-tron drive unit and inverter, or, in the worst case, overheat the battery pack. A single severe overheating event can permanently and irreversibly damage battery cells. What surprised us most was that, on the Model 3/Y, the root cause often isn’t a faulty HVAC component or software. It’s the radiator design. The front heat exchangers compartement act like a road vacuum cleaner, trapping dirt so deeply inside the honeycomb that airflow is dramatically reduced. Cooling performance gradually degrades until it starts triggering failures across the entire powertrain. Owners often keep replacing the consequences while never finding the real cause. This is something what reduce the range-soh and increases Wh/km and mostly known situation “hey i drove my tesla from 100% to 0% and it has only 60kWh, not 74kWh” Recommendation on HVAC servises is to contact NRF (Nederlandse Radiateuren Fabriek) experts and take the full training session how to properly service it. (we will too) Our recommendation for every Tesla Model 3/Y owner: * Visit highly skilled worksop to Clean the radiator pack using a dedicated chemical cleaner to dissolve embedded dirt. * Flush thoroughly with low-pressure water (such as at a self-service car wash). * This is not a simple DIY job. Proper access requires partial disassembly and typically takes 2–4 working hours. * Every 80000-120000km Protect your battery. Protect your HVAC.

Did you know that out of the 50 to 80 different battery systems we’ve analyzed so far, Tesla’s system is the easiest to restore – but it requires expert-level knowledge? Owners can rest assured – our engineers in Zagreb and Berlin work around the clock to optimize processes, perform state-of-the-art detection of parasitic cells, and weld original safety fuses. Everything we do is fully aligned with Tesla’s original design and safety architecture. The future is electric – and with over 4.5 million Tesla vehicles on the road, less than 10% (according to Tesla fleet statistics) experience battery defects, usually after more than 200,000 kilometers. Our first restored system has already been running on the road for over 2.5 years. For assistance, two franchise locations are currently available for battery system servicing: Berlin – EV Clinic Zagreb – EV Clinic

🇹🇷🇺🇸 1 Milyon Kilometre EV Clinic Large Drive Unit Revizyon Başyapıtı Tesla’nın bir zamanlar söz verdiği bir kilometre taşı –On yıl sonra, başaran ilk ve tek biz olduk. EV Clinic LDU revizyon süreci ve EVC HolyGrail Kit ile gurur duyuyoruz: şimdiye kadarki en yoğun, en karmaşık ve en değerli projemiz. Bu sadece bir yeniden yapılandırma değil – gerçek sürüş koşullarında test edilmiş ve orijinal mühendislik standartlarının ötesine taşınmış eksiksiz bir revizyon yeniden icadıdır. Şu ana kadar 560.000 km servissiz çalıştı ve biz 1 milyon km’yi aşacağından eminiz. Tesla’nın eksik kaldığı yerde biz ileri gittik. Şu anda Hansjörg von Gemmingen - Hornberg’e ait P90 aracında, 560.000 km’de yağ değişimi yaptık – eski yağ oldukça temizdi, rulman aşınması yoktu ve grafit conta sayesinde hiçbir soğutma sıvısı sızıntısı yoktu. Bu sadece bir revizyon değil. Bu, EVC Academy onarım süreci ve EVC “HolyGrail” eDrive KİT’i gerektiren bir başyapıttır. Biz, aşırı ısınma nedeniyle rulmanlara zarar veren geçici “soğutucu iptali” çözümleri uygulamıyoruz. 🇺🇸 1 Million Kilometers EV Clinic Large Drive Unit Refurbish Masterpiece? A milestone Tesla once promised, but one we’ve actually delivered –a decade later we are the first and only ones who succeeded We’re incredibly proud of the EV Clinic LDU refurbish process and EVC HolyGrail Kit: our most intense, most complex, and most valuable project to date. It’s more than just a rebuild – it’s a complete refurbish reinvention, tested in real-world conditions and refined beyond original engineering standards which made 560,000km without servicing so far, but we bet it will surpass 1mil km. Where Tesla fell short, we pushed further. Now inside Hansjörg von Gemmingen - Hornberg P90 we made oil change at 560,000km where old oil was really clean, there is no bearing wear and there is no coolant ingress with graphite seal. This is not just a refurbishment. It’s a masterpiece which needs EVC Academy repair process and EVC “HolyGrail” eDrive KIT *we dont do coolant delete bandaid solution do bearing damage due overheating

Today is a day to celebrate. After five years of relentless reverse engineering case by case, thousands of unpaid engineering hours, and countless failed experiments, we can finally say that we have solved approximately 95% of all known high-voltage failure mechanisms and developed permanent repair solutions for Renault R240 and developed multiple tools to help ourselves on this journey. (DCDCBox, 5AQ Cloner, HV Bench wiring…) What once seemed impossible is now routine: • eDrive performance improvements • eDrive repair kits • Valeo inverter cloning • Inverter authorization migration or VIN Change • BCB cloning and programming • EMI filter repairs • BCB repairs • Charge port repairs • EVC controller repairs • Cooling system fault solutions • DCDC analysis, repair, and permanent upgrades • High-voltage insulation fault diagnostics • Rotor and stator rewinding • HV battery and BMS repairs • BMS reset and recovery • Brand new modules on stock • Solutions for nearly every charging interruption failure • HV EVC Extender Bench Test Cables • …and much more in EVC Academy trainings! Every solved failure represents hundreds of hours of investigation so that the next customer never has to pay for that research again. And today, another one joins the list. Another “non-repairable” problem is no longer non-repairable. The real achievement isn’t just solving these failures. It’s spending thousands of unpaid engineering hours so workshops around the world don’t have to. Today, the EVC KnowHow Academy contains more than 100 of the world’s most complex and expensive EV repair procedures, making EV Clinic a global leader focused exclusively on the hardest high-voltage failures. Our mission is simple: make advanced EV repair knowledge accessible, affordable, and repeatable, so vehicles leave workshops under their own power instead of on a tow truck. Link 👇 OEM repair cost: 8000€ EVC repair cost: 2900€ RIP: P066796 The current sensor (mains) of control unit “N83/10 – High-Voltage Battery Charger Control Unit (22 kW charger)” has a malfunction. Time spent: 160h You failed repairing R240? Dont worry, access EVC Training anytime;

I got a call from insurance asking me to justify why my patient—who had a bilateral mastectomy and DIEP flap reconstruction—needed to stay in the hospital for two days. For context: ✅ She had bilateral mastectomies. ✅ She had complex microsurgery (DIEP flaps). ✅ She required continuous blood-flow monitoring with specialized Vioptix. ✅ Written approval from UnitedHealthcare dated July 17. And yet, AFTER surgery, during clinic, I was told I had to do a same-day “peer-to-peer.” I did not request this call. I was exhausted after seeing 65 patients in two days and heading to the hospital to care for the patient I posted about last week (the MRI/expander case). The physician on the line was polite but said the state of Texas required her to call, and she either (1) didn’t know authorization had already been granted or (2) didn’t have access to the medical records that would have answered the question. This was approved because my staff is incredible. As soon as Ebonie heard I was being pulled into a last-minute review, she printed the approval letter and put it in my hand while I was still in clinic. That’s what it takes to practice medicine right now. This is what we mean by insurance interrupting care. Instead of focusing on healing, teams are pulled off the floor to re-prove the obvious and re-justify decisions already authorized. I would like you to ask yourself: — Is this system helping us care for patients or wearing us down? — Why am I forced to ask permission to do the right thing, repeatedly, and then defend it after the fact? Patients deserve monitoring and support after a surgery of this magnitude. They deserve our full attention not red tape.

So here’s what Mark Carney said in Mississauga. “We will soon also release our Climate Competitiveness Strategy to position Canada as a leader in decarbonization… We’ll look at the interaction between the EV mandate, our clean fuel standards, our investment tax credits, our trade policy—all of those elements. Because what this government is focused on is absolutely results. Not saying something’s going to happen at a certain time, but giving workers and businesses the tools to make it happen.” Sounds impressive, doesn’t it? A “Climate Competitiveness Strategy.” But stop and think about it for more than five seconds. Competitive with who? With China? A country that builds two coal plants a week and couldn’t care less about “decarbonization.” They flood the world with cheap steel, fertilizer, solar panels, and EV batteries—all made with coal power. We shut down our industries in the name of carbon, then buy it all back from Beijing. With India? They’ve made it clear they’re not going to sacrifice growth for carbon targets. They’re building, expanding, modernizing—while Canada is drowning in permits, studies, and red tape. In this country it literally costs a million dollars to move an anthill if you want to build a mine. In India they’d just build the mine. So again—competitive with who? With Europe? We do maybe 7% of our trade with Europe. The real markets are the United States and Asia. And both are playing by completely different rules. Europe’s collapsing under its own green policies; their energy prices are through the roof, their industries are fleeing. And Carney wants to copy that model here. #SMH

🇨🇳 Chinese EVs have been taking the world by storm, whether you like it or not When I look around here on the street in China I try recognize the car brands and I see so many brands I don't know One brand I see a lot is LI, but also BYD, Zeekr and XPeng Apparently there's now 129 (!) EV brands in China producing cars, which kinda shows the massive scale of the EV boom here There's a real historical parallel here with the US a hundred years ago, where there were about 2,000 new American car companies in America. Of course most failed, and only a few remained The same is predicted for China, where only 15 EV brands are predicted to survive in a decade, so a real battle is going down here now to see who will win One interesting thing is that there is one American brand that is remarkably present here, and that's Tesla, you see Teslas everywhere, the Tesla Y often holds the top spot for most cars sold in China, and you see Tesla superchargers here a lot What's also interesting is that where Elon Musk gets so much hatred in the West (not from me), in China he's revered as a hero. Elon is a high IQ engineer and successful entrepreneur. And it's a real artefact of the culture that Chinese respect that kind of person while in the West if you're rich, successful and smart you're seen as a bad person by at least half of society. I think that says a lot about our society and how we educate people in the West and we should really reconsider that. Engineering and entrepreneurship are the key stones of a functioning society. Engineering invents new things and entrepreneurs turn those inventions into businesses that bring them to people. Without both, you don't have jobs, money, and well, prosperity! Chinese culture seems to understand this well, which is why they like Elon Musk and still drive Teslas as one of the few Western cars here. Anyway to continue, in this video I visited the Huawei store and I have to add a correction, because due to new Chinese regulation that requires car brands to fully own their manufacturing, Huawei has "officially" separated their car business, but in fact they still fully design the car, sell the car, and get most of the profit from it. They just can't call it a Huawei car anymore Huawei is interesting because they produce everything, phones, tablets, watches, laptops, and, well indirectly, EV cars too A similar brand is Xiaomi, who actually do own the manufacturing of their EV, and their EV is one of the fastest growing in sales in China It's a real slap in the face for the West I feel that Apple, the creator of the iPhone, wasn't able to produce a car and cancelled their car project, when many of the Chinese phone companies are producing their own cars now with relative ease Of course the iPhone is produced in China, and manufacturing is in China, so being closer to the manufacturing physically, it must have been easier to design a car, than try to do it remotely from Apple's office in Cupertino But it does seem significant that we couldn't do this While I'm writing this the news comes in that Germany's car and greater manufacturing industry is tanking, their energy costs have gone up 2-3x due cutting off the Russian gas, and they've simply become too expensive overnight Germany's car industry, the historical center of car production in the world with BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Volkswagen, has started laying off 100,000+ employees and scaling down their production due to declining sales, which are a direct result of the competition from China offering cheaper, more advanced EVs with better software than the Germans And I mean you can feel it, I walk around in EV car stores here and the cars look great, the interior looks modern, the software is miles ahead of the clunky interfaces of German cars, most EVs here have a little cute robot on the dashboard that you talk to, so you never have to touch the screen anymore to do anything, like "switch on the wipers" or "route me to my hotel" etc. The EVs here honestly do not feel cheap, they're well built and comfortable Europe has tried to stop the rise of the Chinese EVs in the European market with a 45% tariff, but even with that tariffs, many Europeans still prefer to buy Chinese EVs over others, and they're still cheaper than the German cars! The US went further with a 100% tarrif, and that stopped them from being sold mostly in the US because it's not profitable anymore for the Chinese One thing I have to add which you probably know is that the Chinese government does heavily subsidize their EV industry (with about $230B+ in the last decade), it's not a secret and their subsidies do not compare to the ones the US and EU provide for their industries, which gives Chinese EV companies the (unfair) advantage to produce them at a discount and sell them abroad cheaper, which is exactly why the EU and US put tariffs on them Even with the subsidies, the engineering and production and software is impressive and feels very modern, I'm a Tesla fan, own a 2025 Tesla Y, but the Chinese EVs feel and look more modern to me. They usually have more screens, more features etc. There's real innovation happening here it feels like And that's kinda the conclusion you get being in China with every industry, they've already by far departed from being cheap clones of Western products, they're now at the next stage of adding their own features and ideas, which is what we always criticize Chinese on "they're not creative", well they are creative, they just start from the point where Western products are now, and then start innovating from there (instead of starting from scratch fully, I mean, why would they?) If you ask Grok how does the future of the Western car industry look like, especially the European/German ones, it's pessimistic. The only positive it can find is that maybe European brands can focus on premium and exclusivity. Like they do with Hermes hand bags, but then do the same with cars. BMW and Mercedes-Benz are of course luxury brands and they could survive by remaining premium and make money that way. But the regular middle and low end of car production in Europe (and America?) will most probably be wiped out and replaced by the Chinese I think That is if the Americans and Europeans will keep allowing them into their markets But even if they don't, the Chinese are happily going to the rest of the world like South America, the Middle East or the rest of Asia where you see BYDs literally everywhere As a European this does feel bittersweet, but then again we've all been shouting from the roof tops for years that this would happen if you didn't create a pro-business climate where startups would sprout, so now it's kinda "I told you so"

The US went further with a 100% tarrif, and that stopped them from being sold mostly in the US because it's not profitable anymore for the Chinese One thing I have to add which you probably know is that the Chinese government does heavily subsidize their EV industry (with about $230B+ in the last decade), it's not a secret and their subsidies do not compare to the ones the US and EU provide for their industries, which gives Chinese EV companies the (unfair) advantage to produce them at a discount and sell them abroad cheaper, which is exactly why the EU and US put tariffs on them Even with the subsidies, the engineering and production and software is impressive and feels very modern, I'm a Tesla fan, own a 2025 Tesla Y, but the Chinese EVs feel and look more modern to me. They usually have more screens, more features etc. There's real innovation happening here it feels like And that's kinda the conclusion you get being in China with every industry, they've already by far departed from being cheap clones of Western products, they're now at the next stage of adding their own features and ideas, which is what we always criticize Chinese on "they're not creative", well they are creative, they just start from the point where Western products are now, and then start innovating from there (instead of starting from scratch fully, I mean, why would they?) If you ask Grok how does the future of the Western car industry look like, especially the European/German ones, it's pessimistic. The only positive it can find is that maybe European brands can focus on premium and exclusivity. Like they do with Hermes hand bags, but then do the same with cars. BMW and Mercedes-Benz are of course luxury brands and they could survive by remaining premium and make money that way. But the regular middle and low end of car production in Europe (and America?) will most probably be wiped out and replaced by the Chinese I think That is if the Americans and Europeans will keep allowing them into their markets But even if they don't, the Chinese are happily going to the rest of the world like South America, the Middle East or the rest of Asia where you see BYDs literally everywhere As a European this does feel bittersweet, but then again we've all been shouting from the roof tops for years that this would happen if you didn't create a pro-business climate where startups would sprout, so now it's kinda "I told you so"

The Cybercab is aiming to produce 2 million units per year. Let this sink in. Today, Tesla produces about ~1.7 million vehicles per year total, across its entire lineup. And now Tesla is preparing to outproduce that with one single vehicle, a fully autonomous one. This is Elon and Tesla going ALL-IN on autonomy. Production is scheduled to start April 2026 at Giga Texas, with volume ramping throughout the year. And as of early 2026, Cybercab prototypes are already being tested around the U.S. The Tesla Cybercab is built from the ground up for unsupervised autonomy. There is no steering wheel and no pedals, just cameras, AI, and Tesla’s custom inference computers. No lidar and radar like other companies, just pure vision and software. Elon put it best on the Q3 2024 earnings call: “It’s not just a revolutionary vehicle design, but a revolution in vehicle manufacturing that is also coming with the Cybercab.” That quote matters a lot bc that means the entire way a vehicle is manufactured is changing with the Cybercab. Tesla is designing what Elon calls “the machine that builds the machine.” The Cybercab uses Tesla’s unboxed manufacturing process, where major sections are built in parallel instead of one long assembly line. There are fewer parts, less steps & cost, and faster scale. That’s how you make 2 million Cybercabs per year possible. FYI, this is not going to be easy though. Elon has been brutally honest about production for many years: • “Prototypes are easy, production is hard.” • “The extreme difficulty of scaling production of new technology is poorly understood. It’s 1000% to 10,000% harder than making a few prototypes.” • “For cars, it’s maybe 100 times harder to design the manufacturing system than the car itself.” He reinforced this again in January 2026 when talking about Cybercab and Optimus on 𝕏: “Initial production is always very slow and follows an S-curve. The speed of the production ramp is inversely proportional to how many new parts and steps there are. For Cybercab and Optimus, almost everything is new, so the early production rate will be agonizingly slow - but eventually end up being insanely fast.” This is the key thing most people miss about Tesla manufacturing. Early output will be slow by design. Almost everything is new like the vehicle architecture, factory layout, AI hardware, and manufacturing flow. But once it works and clicks, it begins to scale hard. Tesla already proved they can do this. They survived Model 3 production hell. They turned Model Y into the BEST selling car in the world, of any kind. They ramped Cybertruck, which has over 30,000+ unique parts, to meaningful volume. Elon summed it up perfectly in 2024: “Compared to the insane pain of reaching high volume, positive margin production, prototypes are a piece of cake.” That’s why Tesla makes manufacturing look easy bc they already earned the scars from the last vehicle lineups. The Cybercab is aiming to be: 1/ Under $30,000 price 2/ ~$0.20 per mile operating cost 3/ 200+ mile range 4/ Up to 5x utilization vs personal cars 5/ Designed to run nearly nonstop 24/7 This is what you call manufacturing + AI + autonomy converging at scale. The competitors are still showing prototypes and demos, while Tesla is building new production lines, expanding factories, and actually building the product. I remember when Elon told me in the past that one of Tesla’s key advantage long term was going to be manufacturing technology. I get it now.

Tesla is a $1.3 trillion company that sold fewer cars this year than last year. And fewer last year than the year before. That should tell you everything you need to know. 2 consecutive years of declining deliveries. Down 9% in 2025 to 1.63 million vehicles. The steepest annual drop in the company's history. And 2026 is starting even worse - US sales down 17% in January, Europe down 44% across major markets. France down 42%. Netherlands down 67%. Norway down 88%. BYD passed them as the global EV leader. In the UK, BYD outsold Tesla 2 to 1 last month. The brand is in FREEFALL. Brand Finance measured a 36% collapse in Tesla's brand value last year - down to $27.6 billion, less than half its 2023 peak. In California, their most important US market, share dropped from 11.6% to 9.9%. And the stock trades at 365 times trailing earnings. Let me say that differently: Tesla earned $3.8 billion last year. The market is valuing those earnings at $1.3 trillion. You are paying $365 for every dollar this company earns. The bull case has completely abandoned the car business. It's all robotaxis and Optimus robots now. They discontinued the Model S and Model X. They told investors on the last earnings call to stop focusing on vehicle deliveries and start thinking about "transportation as a service." So in other words: please ignore the business we actually have and value us on the business we MIGHT have someday. Trust me, every time management tells you to look over there instead of over here... LOOK OVER HERE. The car business is deteriorating. Margins are compressing. Competition from BYD, Volkswagen, and a dozen Chinese manufacturers is intensifying quarter by quarter. The $7,500 federal EV tax credit is gone, which effectively raised the price of every Tesla overnight. And instead of addressing any of that, they're doubling capex to $20 billion this year - almost entirely directed at AI and autonomous driving infrastructure. So you have a company with shrinking revenue, shrinking deliveries, a damaged brand, and intensifying competition pouring $20 billion into a technology that hasn't been proven at commercial scale. On 365 times earnings. Even if you give them the most generous robotaxi assumptions imaginable (full regulatory approval, nationwide deployment, dominant market share) you still can't justify this valuation. The present value of that optionality doesn't come close to $1.3 trillion when the core business is going backwards. I think this stock goes down 90% from here. Not because Tesla is worthless. They'll sell cars. The energy storage business has potential. But the equity is priced for a future that isn't coming on the timeline the market expects. A $37 stock. That's where the math takes you when you strip out the narrative and price what actually exists. I know that sounds extreme. But 45 years of doing this has taught me something: When you can see the seams on the fastball, you SWING. I can see the seams.

George Blankenship got really emotional telling the story of early Tesla And it shows why Tesla’s survival story is one of the wildest in startup history The Model S wasn’t just another car. It was Tesla’s first true everyday car And it was Tesla’s do-or-die moment Thousands of people trusted Elon Musk enough to hand over $5,000 deposits… No car in their driveway No guarantee Tesla would survive Just belief in a promise But behind the scenes, the reality was brutal In Q2 2012, Tesla delivered just 12 cars in the entire quarter Wall Street was circling like vultures The media was waiting for Tesla to die Short sellers were waiting for the collapse And the company was running straight into one of the most terrifying production hells in startup history Then Elon did something insane He publicly tweeted that Tesla would be profitable by Q1 2013 That wasn’t a prediction That was a survival command To make it happen, Elon set the number: 4,750 deliveries.... The mission became clear: Deliver thousands of Model S cars before the quarter ended The number that mattered inside the company became 4,750 The pressure inside Tesla became unreal George Blankenship had to email Elon every single night at exactly midnight with the raw survival numbers: How many deliveries still stood between Tesla and death By the final week, job titles disappeared IT guys were washing cars Marketing guys were moving cars People who had never worked in delivery were suddenly doing whatever it took Nobody was “above” the work Nobody was waiting for someone else. Everyone was fighting for the same thing: Keep Tesla alive Then came the final Saturday of the quarter. At 3 PM… Car 4,750 was delivered Tesla had done the impossible Blankenship stood on his desk, looked at his exhausted team, and told them: “What you just did is monumental… not just for Tesla, but for what we’re going to do for mankind.” That quarter, Tesla shocked the world with an $11M profit. The stock exploded from around $20 to $90 But the real story isn’t the stock It’s that Tesla crossed the line between impossible and inevitable They didn’t just build a company. They forged the foundation of the EV revolution

Tesla halfshaft clicking and rattling is solved - costing Tesla millions. Making the Small Drive Unit immortal wasn’t easy – but it also wasn’t impossible and we did it again. Simply changing working SDU wasnt cheap or sustainable nor buying existing repair kits is was not enough because milling or clicking noise was still there. The clicking noise and axle vibrations we noticed on an SDU we received over two years ago seemed like an isolated case at first, most likely caused by the half-shafts. But in the past two years we received around 20 similar inquiries, and we weren’t fully certain about the root cause, so we didn’t act prematurely. After 5 months of dedicated work, we finally identified the real issue, sourced suppliers, and solved the last missing piece: the output differential gear. The repair process itself demands precision and attention to detail – inspection of the gear seat radius and bearing surface, machining or polishing when required (in this case polishing was sufficient), production of hardened shims to fine-tune gear backlash, and the use of new shafts heat-treated to 61 ± 2 HRC and precision ground to the required tolerance. Pin holes are drilled with carbide tools, side faces milled for oil relief, while the hardened gears themselves usually remain intact, with wear limited mainly to the shims. In this work, even a deviation of 0.01 mm can make a crucial difference. Soon we’ll release a full video and a new repair kit, complete with an exchange program for refurbished differentials (“old for new”), as well as reconditioned motors available for other workshops and franchises. We also discovered why Model S and X often destroy brand-new half-shafts in a short period of time. The cause is not only wheel suspension or motor mounts – but also a worn differential inside the e-motor. Excessive wear and internal play within the planetary gear set cause the axle to shift off-center under load, ultimately destroying the CV joint.

Huge news - proper electric vehicles are about to get to Polo Vivo prices - less than R350,000. This is the BYD Dolphin Mini - which will be sold as the Atto 1 in South Africa - and based on what I’ve been told here in Zhengzhou and can calculate, this car is will be SA’s cheapest EV by some margin and will officially go on sale in September of this year. In this post I’m going to dive into charging time and what it will cost to charge, we’ll take a look at the interior and I’ll report on our exclusive first drive for The Cars.co.za Team and SA media, as well as give you my opinion on the effect this car is going to have on the new and used car markets in our country. For scale, it is about the same size as the Mini Cooper but feels much more spacious interior. Most impressive for a budget EV, it’s fast-charging capabilities mean you can charge the smaller-battery version from 20-80% in 16 minutes at a mall or petrol station, or 2 hours and 34 minutes at home. Battery sizes and range: More affordable variant: - Battery size: 30kWh - Claimed range 220km High spec variant - Battery size: 42kWh - Claimed range 310km Keep in mind that real world range is reduced by a variety of factors such as average speed (highway cruising in particular), average temperature (cold is more problematic than heat), amount of regeneration per journey and driving style. The Atto 1 features a single motor which offers between 65kW and 115kW in the highest spec, providing acceleration of 0-100 in 9 to 11 seconds, all of which on my quick test drive around the facility felt adequate for SA roads, especially when I put my foot flat to simulate overtaking. The interior felt a little plasticky in places but overall was far, far more advanced and luxurious than any car you’ll find at this price point in South Africa. BYD South Africa published an official press release today but I’m in China with BYD at the moment and the South African press contingent were given an exclusive first look and first drive after our full-on day as the first journalists in the world to experience the new BYD International Circuit facility, which I suppose you could now call the spiritual home of BYD Global’s flagship YangWang sub-brand. In summary, in my opinion this could be a turning point for EVs in South Africa. EV day-to-day running costs, especially if you charge at home, are generally much lower than traditional running a normal car, and EVs require far less maintenance and repairs. What I’m particularly excited about is the potential of a car like the Atto 1 to transform the used car market; the battery warranty of 8 years and expected useful life of 12-15 years, and those low maintenance and repair costs, all coupled with depreciation means in 3-5 years we’ll all probably be able to buy a good used Atto 1 or similar EV for around R200,000 or less depending on age and mileage. Now that’s exciting for me! Stay tuned to all the The Cars.co.za Team platforms for more info on this really exciting development on the South African motoring landscape🇿🇦🏁

Huge news - proper electric vehicles are about to get to Polo Vivo prices - less than R350,000. This is the BYD Dolphin Mini - which will be sold as the Atto 1 in South Africa - and based on what I’ve been told here in Zhengzhou and can calculate, this car is will be SA’s cheapest EV by some margin and will officially go on sale in September of this year. In this post I’m going to dive into charging time and what it will cost to charge, we’ll take a look at the interior and I’ll report on our exclusive first drive for The Cars.co.za Team and SA media, as well as give you my opinion on the effect this car is going to have on the new and used car markets in our country. For scale, it is about the same size as the Mini Cooper but feels much more spacious interior. Most impressive for a budget EV, it’s fast-charging capabilities mean you can charge the smaller-battery version from 20-80% in 16 minutes at a mall or petrol station, or 2 hours and 34 minutes at home. Battery sizes and range: More affordable variant: - Battery size: 30kWh - Claimed range 220km High spec variant - Battery size: 42kWh - Claimed range 310km Keep in mind that real world range is reduced by a variety of factors such as average speed (highway cruising in particular), average temperature (cold is more problematic than heat), amount of regeneration per journey and driving style. The Atto 1 features a single motor which offers between 65kW and 115kW in the highest spec, providing acceleration of 0-100 in 9 to 11 seconds, all of which on my quick test drive around the facility felt adequate for SA roads, especially when I put my foot flat to simulate overtaking. The interior felt a little plasticky in places but overall was far, far more advanced and luxurious than any car you’ll find at this price point in South Africa. BYD South Africa published an official press release today but I’m in China with BYD at the moment and the South African press contingent were given an exclusive first look and first drive after our full-on day as the first journalists in the world to experience the new BYD International Circuit facility, which I suppose you could now call the spiritual home of BYD Global’s flagship YangWang sub-brand. In summary, in my opinion this could be a turning point for EVs in South Africa. EV day-to-day running costs, especially if you charge at home, are generally much lower than traditional running a normal car, and EVs require far less maintenance and repairs.

Robots will bring billionaire living to a lot more people. I had the blessing to eat with Guy Savoy several times. One of the best chefs in the world. He, and other top chefs taught me about the importance of getting fresh ingredients. Here is how robots and World Models will bring that and what do I mean by “everything as a service?” In three years I will have this conversation with my 1X Neo humanoid robot: “Hey Neo I want to upgrade our food to billionaire level.” “I can do that. Food as a service costs $500 a month. I will buy only hand grown fresh organic food and I will prepare amazing meals for you and your family.” Where is the supply chain for such food? Farmers’ markets where everything is fresh and organic. You gotta stop buying at grocery stores to upgrade your diet. “Hey Neo here are the keys to Tesla Robotaxi. And here is my credit card. Start up food as a service.” Neo will take an autonomous car to the market. “But Neo how do you know where to go?” “Well a guy on X did a video of the farmer’s market nearby.” “I watched it, and now know roughly the kinds of things I can get there.” We are too late to start today, the market is closed now, but we can start next week. Look at this video the way Grok does. I am playing humanoid today. In one visit my Neo will ingest all of this into its World Model. In the second visit it will get even better. In the third visit even better. World models are going to be real time by the end of next year from a variety of companies. فيصل Tesla Robotaxi already serves both our home and the market. Our Tesla drove us there and already knows where it is. Grok is already a world model. In a few minutes it can tell you what it learned by watching this video. It watches all my videos before distributing them to you. So it knows how not to overwhelm @jason’s feed with my prolific posting. It will get a lot better soon. But after three trips to this farmer’s market my robot will know everything about this market including the names of the farmers. Watch this video, you meet one. Grok can do a RAG search and learn everything about him, including that he doesn’t have a Website, and only posts on Facebook. Also that he takes Apple Pay. It already knows everything it sees. The names of the vegetables, fruits, nuts, and what is ravioli. One vendor sells fresh ravioli made early this morning. If you are freaked out by privacy have your Neo stay in the garage until it is time to do something for you. In three years I will be eating fresh food with my brother in law while football is on the TV. If you don’t have a robot you won’t eat as well unless you are a billionaire who can afford to pay the human to shop and cook for you. The Robotaxi network starts up next year (without humans). The world models get good next year. By 2030 every one of you will have a robot in your home, at least part time. Who has the best world model? Tesla. Who understands the real world better? Grok. (I didn’t give this video to anyone else). Who soon will have the best humanoid? Tesla. Which company already has a Robotaxi in my driveway? Tesla. Which company has the best video ingestion engine? Tesla. Which company is about to turn on a real time world model? xAI. Which company would you want to invest in? Tesla and xAI. Which is why, if you are a Tesla investor and you didn’t vote for Tesla to invest in xAI you hurting yourself.. Everything as a service is about to arrive. Everyone who can afford a $20,000 robot, which can be financed will have it next year. I will. Anyone worried about privacy has no idea how useful this all will be to make your lives better. And how much money it will make for a robot company to put it all together. And only Tesla has all the pieces to make the meal.

So glad you asked, Jessica Tarlov. Yes it's true, early voting has been more female, and if men don't show up, Kamala could win. BUT, had you dug a level deeper, you might have been shocked to discover early voting this year has been MORE male than it was in 2020. We are actually running ahead of our projections. Most importantly, the R proportion of the EV is significantly larger than it was in 2020. In Arizona, Republican are beating Democrats in EV by 176K votes and are on track to eclipse 200K by Election Day. And we're bringing out more low-propensity voters than Dems. Our ballot chasers have *already* turned out over 140,000 low-propensity voters (!!) built relationships with over 400,000 voters, and we are on track to turn out around 50% of those voters (!!). In Wisconsin, IPEV is beating VBM totals by +264,000. Why is that important? IPEV is historically much redder than VBM and the IPEV is overwhelmingly from hard GOP counties. Democrats' VBM seems to have just dried up and vanished? In PA, where we're also active chasing votes, the Democrat firewall in 2020 was 1.1 million. That number is down to 395K. Once again, Democrat VBM seems to have not shown up. In GA and NV, whe're we're also active, the Republican rurals are roaring. The biggest VBM drop off in both states is in Democrat urban strongholds. We are up by over 40K in Nevada, and even though GA doesn't have partisan voter reg data, all modelling shows us up in EV there too. Yes, men need to turn out for us to win because that’s always been true. But because of the hard work of groups like Turning Point Action, I'd much rather be Donald Trump right now than Kamala Harris. WIth all due respect, Jessica, you have no idea what you're talking about.

I remember the “protesters” outside the abortion clinic I was taken to. I remember being escorted away from them and into the planned murderhood clinic. I remember the nurse telling me as a teen who was shaking and scared (why was I shaking and scared you might ask? Because deep down I knew it was so wrong)…the nurse told me “it’ll be okay. This is the best thing you can do for your life right now. You won’t even remember this day.” I remember they did an ultrasound but turned the screen away so I couldn’t see my baby. Sadly I didn’t even ask to see. it was a Saturday in February. Cold and snowy. All 12 of us packed in a waiting room in an abortion mill. I’ll never forget all the crying. A young teen sobbing and sobbing... I had the thought to run. But I stayed. Afterwards we couldn’t leave the abortion mill until we stopped filling pads with blood. Any woman who is reading this who has an abortion in their past, you KNOW I’m right. We all know abortion is murder. I believed all the lies. All the propaganda. I would be god. Deciding who lives and dies. I was so so stupid. Yet. Years later. God opened my eyes through His Son Jesus Christ. Repentance. Forgiveness that I DO NOT deserve. A SAVIOR who came to take away the sins of the entire world through the Cross. Amazing Grace. Apart from Christ, men and women are capable of anything. Including murder of their children in the womb. God help us. Thank you for my fellow brave brothers and sisters in Christ doing the Lord’s work. Psalm 40:2-4 King James Version 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord

CBS Sunday Morning went to a London auto showroom and interviewed British car owners, traditional dealers and industry experts about the rise of Chinese EVs in Europe. What they found quietly destroys a lot of American mythology. British car owner Justin Watson is replacing his Lexus with a BYD. He described the ride as “like sitting on a throne” and said its technology, comfort and handling surpassed anything he had driven before. His conclusion was blunt: The era of “cheap Chinese cars don’t last” is over. A London dealer with more than 50 years in the business, long associated with Volkswagen, said he never imagined he would one day sell Chinese cars. Then he saw the quality, the technology and the sales growth. He changed his mind. Ben Nelmes of New Automotive explained why. Chinese EV makers now hold major advantages across batteries, supply chains and manufacturing integration. BYD started with batteries and built upward, controlling far more of its own production chain and allowing it to make cars at least 25% cheaper than Western competitors. And the technology is no longer “cheap imitation.” Chinese EVs are producing the things Western social media keeps going viral over: 360-degree tank turns. Emergency floating capability. Ultra-long range. Charging from 10% to 70% in minutes. The old stereotype of “Made in China = cheap and inferior” is collapsing in real time. Then comes the American part. The Biden administration imposed a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs. Trump kept the wall in place. In practical terms, Chinese EVs are shut out of the U.S. market. When CBS asked whether that protects American jobs, Nelmes gave the more uncomfortable answer: protectionism may protect jobs in the short term, but over time it kills competition, slows innovation, weakens consumer choice and leaves domestic automakers sheltered from the very future they are supposed to compete in. If the future of cars is electric, then blocking the world’s strongest EV competitors does not prepare American automakers for that future. It protects them from it. The irony gets worse. Before the segment ended, the British owner laughed that he had relatives in New Jersey who were “absolutely jealous” that he could drive such a good Chinese car. And here is the fact protectionists cannot explain away: BYD is effectively shut out of the U.S. market behind a 100% tariff wall, while Tesla is allowed to sell normally in China. And BYD still became the world’s top-selling battery-electric vehicle maker. China did not need to ban Tesla to compete with it. It let Tesla enter. Build locally. Sell freely. Fight for Chinese consumers. The United States looked at BYD and chose a wall. Yet even without access to the American market, BYD still outsold Tesla globally. That says more about competitiveness than a thousand speeches about “fair competition.” If your company needs its biggest rival excluded from your home market while that rival beats you everywhere else, you are not defending competitiveness. You are hiding from it.

🇬🇧 THEY’RE NOT EVEN PRETENDING ANYMORE - BRITAIN IS WAGING OPEN WAR ON CHRISTIANITY WHILE ISLAM GETS A FREE PASS TO OWN THE STREETS 2025 Britain has invented a brand-new crime: thinking Christian thoughts within 150 metres of an abortion clinic. Doesn’t matter if your lips never move, doesn’t matter you’re on a public pavement, doesn’t matter you’re harming exactly nobody. If the police decide your silent prayer “might influence” someone, you’re getting cuffed, searched, fined, or dragged through court. They call these places “buffer zones.” Everyone else calls them what they are: anti-Christian exclusion zones. This isn’t about protecting women. This is about making sure the last traces of Christian morality disappear from public life. The same Parliament that spent decades screaming “my body, my choice” now says your mind, your conscience, your soul belong to the state the moment you step into one of these magic circles. Prayer itself has been reclassified as harassment. Meanwhile, on any Friday you like, half the major roads in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Bradford are handed over to mass Islamic street prayer. No permission needed, no fines, no questions asked. Police close the streets, put out the cones out, and stand guard so the worshippers aren’t disturbed. Ramadan turns whole postcode areas into no-go zones for anyone who isn’t joining in. Try doing that with a rosary outside an abortion clinic and see how fast the vans turn up. One faith is told its very presence is toxic and must be erased from sight, sound and thought. The other faith is actively facilitated, protected and celebrated when it takes over public space. This is not incompetence. This is not “diversity.” This is a deliberate, cold-blooded policy of destroying Britain’s native religion and elevating its replacement. The elites running the country hate Christianity because Christianity reminds them that there is a higher authority than Parliament, than the Home Office, than the latest five-year plan cooked up by some NGO. Christianity says some things are wrong even if the law says they’re legal. That makes it dangerous. So they criminalise it piece by piece, prayer by prayer, thought by thought. Islam? Islam bows to no one except its own law. The elites like that. They can do deals with it, appease it, import it by the millions, because it doesn’t challenge their moral emptiness. It just demands more territory. And they’re happy to give it. This is state-sponsored religious cleansing in slow motion. If you’re still telling yourself “it can’t happen here,” you’re already part of the surrender. Britain is being unmade in front of your eyes. The cross is being ripped down and the crescent hoisted in its place, and the people doing it are wearing suits and police uniforms and judge’s robes. Wake up. Fight back. Because once Britain’s gone, the rest of the West is next in line. And there’ll be no one left to pray for any of us. Source: Tucker Carlson
