๐Ÿšจ Tesla Domestic China Sales

CPCA reports 38,206 Teslas sold in China in Feb.
It leaves them 6% behind last year's pace for the first two months. Wholesale and Export numbers yet to come, which will provide a better overall picture.

Trump knew they're the wrong size. He's testing loyalty. Rubio passed the test.

Unless it's a Jetson type of flying car, I'm not interested.

Isn't there a government agency that oversees wasteful spending?

Yes, this.

A "mate in two" puzzle from @chesspuzzlebot.bsky.social.
My reply to the puzzle detached itself into the ether.

No, it's not the Russian satellite code.
It's a reply to a @chesspuzzlebot.bsky.social puzzle that somehow detached itself from the original message.

Decoded, its says:
Knight to g2, check.
King to g4.
Pawn to h5, mate.

There seems to be nothing strategic about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. If it really was strategic, it would not have been drained in 2022 for no particular reason. And it would have been replenished to strategic levels while oil prices were stable. I have to conclude that it's a nothingburger.
