1-Million-Mile (1.8-million-kilometer) batteries

After 2 million kilometers (1.25 million miles), CATL’s EV batteries retained about 400 km (250 mi) of range. Competitor cells, on the other hand, retained considerably less, at around 350 km (218 mi) and less.

The data is based on 12 electric vehicles, 100 sample batteries, and real-world applications across four major cities in China. You can see in the chart from Morgan Stanley Research that Models 11 and 12, which use CATL batteries, exhibit considerably slower degradation than the other suppliers.

What leads you to believe that CATL has been unsuccessful at achieving a 1 million mile battery?

I appreciate you posting this, and I truly enjoy the gag, but can I just shake my fist for a moment and whine about the modern state of overused captions on memes? Back in my day, this was the meme, plain and simple:

No need for any of these takes/captions from netizens. It seems like these days, any given meme is below 4 or 5 levels of reddit title -> the retweeter -> the person quoting the retweet -> the person memeing on the retweet quoter...

Anyway, thanks for letting me be crochety and vent. Like I said, love the gag (as well as all of your other splendid posts, so thanks for posting)

Yes, there is. Based of a plethora of sources - some more reputable than others.

Coming into a comment thread that is calling out the manufacturing consent against Iran, and bleating "but Xinjiang!" is whataboutism if I've ever seen it.

And yes, you are parroting Zenz. He is the source of this myth - via countless western sources regurgitating the same claims he's been making since 2018.

In March 2017, the Jamestown Foundation (Washington DC) published a three thousand-word report on “Xinjiang’s Rapidly Evolving Security State” written by Adrian Zenz and James Leibold.1 A few months later, the same writers published another report, this one slightly longer at nearly five thousand words, with the more aggressive title, “Chen Quanguo: The Strongman Behind Beijing’s Securitization Strategy in Tibet and Xinjiang.”2 At that time, there was not much interest in these stories. Zenz came from the Victims of Communism Foundation, a nonprofit organization set up by the U.S. Congress in 1993 and funded by various right-wing sources, including the Heritage Foundation.

You decided to offer the opinions of countries like Saudi Arabia

And, ya know, a plethora of others that you decided to ignore for some reason... Associating a large swath of Muslim and Arab nations with human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia really lets your racism show.

One can't in good conscience cite the IAGS as an authority when they condemn the genocide in Gaza and then ignore them when they condemn the genocide in Xinjiang.

Then it's a good thing I'm not doing that.

Wow, I'm so impressed that bastions of human rights like
