China pours rocket fuel on the vehicle replacement cycle.

A 625B RMB ($90B) national trade-in subsidy launched for 2026, paying consumers directly on a first-come basis.

This isn’t just an #EV incentive β€” it accelerates ICE fleet retirement.

Old ICE out β†’ EVs & PHEVs in.

It’s the fluidity of motion that astounds me most. The instant response of motors driving the limbs, operating with a dexterity on par with living things. All up a massive flex by China, and a wake-up moment for the rest of the world. #robot

Elon Musk says saving for retirement will be 'irrelevant' in abundant future Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk described a future where technology creates an abundance of resources so "anyone can have whatever stuff they want."

Guy famous for his court battles to secure the biggest pay packet in history assures - for other people - money will soon be irrelevant.

Google needs to stop this abuse of their news feed algorithm - but, till then, here’s how to spot these #aislop fake stories:

Trump, above all, likes β€œwinners” and sees being in the orbit of winners as his natural space. He also doesn’t care about being negatively labeled, because he uses that same tactic against others. He respects it.

China NEV sales hit new record of 1.715 million units in Oct, CAAM data show BEV sales reached a record 1,109,000 units in October, up 31.7 percent year-on-year.

China just passed a historic milestone β€” over half of all new cars sold in Oct were NEVs. BEVs soared +31.7% YoY to 1.1 M units, while PHEVs rose just 3%. The shift is unmistakable: the world’s biggest car market is now majority electric, powered by lithium. #EV #EnergyTransition #Lithium #RIPOIL

Load and behold: should you opt for an electric cargo bike over a second car? Cargo ebikes are ideal for the millions of short-distance car trips Australians take every day. Here’s how to make one work for you

Great to see stories like this - and to add an often overlooked benefit it’s the ability to get a rockstar park immediately outside school, the shops, wherever. A major time and hassle saver in a busy city and suburbs. #bike #electricbike #transport

Heads-up to parents of young kids - If, like me, you occasionally run out of ideas for bedtime stories then chatGPT is great at turning out funny little stories when prompted, and your kids can even make special requests for settings, names and characters etc. Very helpful at end of a long day.
