Or from another perspective, a 3D Wooly Willy.
You can never get off the corporate AI train.
I mean, "car" is just short for horseless carriage afterall.
I don't know that I've ever seen one of these... Looks like it has gotten tossed around between being classified as a kei-car, compact SUV, and truck. Even the Wikipedia article isn't sure what to do with it.
Thanks for sharing. Watching this on my lunch break now.
Indeed, I should have affixed that context. North American Showerthoughts.
When things look gnarly they pull out root.
Here's a more-recent article then: https://carnewschina.com/2026/01/22/catl-unveils-worlds-first-mass-production-sodium-ion-battery-for-commercial-vehicles/
Public buses in areas of China trialed these batteries and they didn't live up to their claims which is they can be bought on Alibaba second hand. I don't have the "energy" to find the articles in English as it's out the scope of my original comment anyhow. It's not just claims around CATL batteries, it's an industry-wide problem.
I've had underwhelming results with pihole. Consider Technitium DNS Server or AdGuard DNS: https://youtu.be/S5D6uksel10
No, CATL makes the same wild claims. Just within the last few months they've been overselling the capabilities of sodium batteries.
The whole industry is polluted with these fluff claims. Of course we want them to be true, but waiting for results to make noise is wiser.
It's not a "China so it's bad". Moreso to do with the fact this Chinese-based industry constantly make wild claims about batteries with zero backups to their claims.
No surprise when people are quick to dismiss a habitual liar.
