I had a look at the original report by BYD as the site linked by the other commenter didn’t include the information and seemed AI generated (some numbers were actually a bit of, though not by much). According to it the 1.86$ billion are the only directly paid subsidies BYD received in 2025. All other subsidies were loans with favorable conditions, which aren’t directly relevant (The report is 300+ pages long I may have missed something) Source. Currently Germany supports all EV purchase, so the 2.4$ billion should not be counted, but according to the BAFA this is planned/considered to be made exclusive to EU made cars. Source (German). The 6.4$ billion should IMO be counted against the 1.86$ billion as they are both direct founding, and apparently the only direct. While a bit lower this still places VW in the about a billion dollar (925$ million). Additionally, even though the subsidies are universal the EU has placed a tariff on Chinese EVs since 2024 that ranges from 27%-47% depeding on the manufacturer. Source. The working conditions and wages at BYD are of course lower than at VW, even if this is partially countered by the lower standard of living in China, however we don’t no how much of the final car the companies actually produce (how much of it is done by them and not just bought premade, likely in China).

Anyway I don’t think this comparison could ever be 100% fair as China and Germany have different economic models, Germany already established its car industry while Chinas is still relatively up and coming etc. I do however think that it is not accurate to say “they are cheaper because government subsidies” as there are many more factors.

Many countries subsidiese their car brands. In Germany exact numbers are not known, because the government works for the companies I guess, but most experts assume that brands like Volkswagen receive about 1 billion euros (or 1.15 billion US dollars) a year. Source A Source B. I’m no expert for other countries, but a quick research lead to the claim that until 2015 Tesla and the adjacent businesses (SpaceX etc.) had received 4.9 billion US dollars in subsidies Source. I don’t think its fair to say that they are cheap just because they receive subsidies, they are just getting what everyone else is.

These “plot twists” seem to be quite obvious

I stand with the roman empire

The fuck is Mereury

Most of that is a one time process, which you can do with the RG35XX when you connect it to a PC. But I have to agree retro achievements is quite nice

Have had the Anbernic RG35XX for a while now. It is the pseudo predecessor to yours, meaning it has no Wi-Fi, which is kinda nice. Nowadays it’s rare to have a device that just does it’s thing, no internet, no subscriptions, no updates, no tracking

Y’all should make a horny posting community so that there is less of … whatever this is in the feeds of people that don’t want it

As a German I needed a moment to realize that SS meant secret service.

According to a study I just invented, an increase in horny posts leads to more hornyness and thus more horny posts. This grows exponentially until a meltdown happens and a so called “bean catastrophy” occurs.

I had this exact image saved, but with a different colored cat. What was happening there
