Aquí están los que hicieron del ‘Mach0rro Mentality' un estilo de vida, y aunque no generan seis cifras ni andan en una Urus, por lo menos te enseñan a fracasar con estilo. En este episodio Valiente sacó la cara por el culo de la gobernadora, ya que no le gustaron los chistecitos y memes que Oscar hizo de ella; también hablamos de la cogía de pendejos que le dieron a un paL de bobos en Creators Alliance, y finalmente supimos qué le pasó al tipo con hemorroides que la esposa mangó con la chilla. Yankee manda al desempleo a su hija influencer, un padre recrea la versión de “Taken” en Río Piedras y Bad Bunny le hace el día a unos chamaquitos que mandaron pa'l carajo la AMA por una foto. Además, tuvimos el análisis más completo sobre la situación entre “el mimo del pueblo” y la locutora de falsas promesas. ¡Esto es La fokin Hora Mach0rra!

Join Rob as he explores the psychology of designer purchases, from clothes to watches to cars. He talks about the delicate balance between quality investments and wasteful spending and by sharing personal experiences, stories and real world examples, Rob reveals how true wealth often manifests in subtlety. KEY TAKEAWAYS High-end brands like Patek Philippe and Hermès create artificial scarcity and complex buying processes to maintain exclusivity and increase demand, requiring significant previous purchases to access their most coveted items. True quality investment pieces often have no visible logos and maintain or increase in value over time, while items covered in obvious branding typically depreciate rapidly. Ferrari maintains brand value through strict control, even banning celebrities like Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian who violate their standards for car modification and resale. Luxury watches like Patek Philippe can serve as both investment vehicles and networking tools, opening doors to valuable business connections. In the luxury car market, value isn't always about the badge - sometimes less prestigious brands offer better performance and value (like Audi RSQ8 vs. Lamborghini Urus). Expensive designer clothes with prominent logos often indicate insecurity rather than wealth, while truly wealthy individuals tend to prefer understated, high-quality pieces. BEST MOMENTS "If you want to go broke, buy brands. If you want to get rich, build a brand." "A Rolex Daytona is a better savings account than a savings account and a better door opener than a crowbar." "For less than an Urus, I got an RSQ8, which looks better than an Urus and a 992 Turbo S, which is the fastest car out of anything except two, three and five million pound hypercars."

Israel greift fast täglich Ziele im Gazastreifen an. Am Samstag wurde ein Spital in Deir al Balah im Zentrum des Landes zur Zielscheibe. Barbara Trattnig arbeitet als medizinische Koordinatorin für Ärzte ohne Grenzen in diesem Spital. Sie erzählt, was "Spital" unter diesen Umständen bedeutet. Weitere Themen: Permanencen sind Grosspraxen, die längere Öffnungszeiten haben und Notfälle von Spitälern entlassten sollen. Wenn eine Permanence Patientinnen und Patienten zu Randzeiten behandelt, verrechnet sie zusätzliche Pauschalen. Nun hat das Bundesgericht entschieden, dass diese Praxen keine Zuschläge mehr verrechnen dürfen. Der Titicaca-See im Grenzgebiet zwischen Peru und Bolivien ist der höchstgelegene kommerziell schiffbare See der Welt. Mitten in diesem See wohnen die Urus. Die Indigenen leben auf schwimmenden Inseln. Wie lange die Urus noch so leben können, ist allerdings fraglich, denn der Titicacasee ist stark verschmutzt.

En Garaje Hermético no buscamos la polémica… pero no la rehuimos. ¿Qué sentido tienen los SUV de marcas como Ferrari, Lamborghini o Rolls, entre otras? ¿A qué clientes van dirigidos? Pues solo a dos: Unos, los que son incapaces de subirse a un Ferrari o un Lamborghini “de verdad”; dos, a los “nuevos ricos” que quieren lo último, pero no entienden… ¿estás de acuerdo? ¿No? Te lo voy a argumentar… y te voy a dar una lista de SUV caros, horteras o absurdos… Conviértete en miembro de este canal para disfrutar de ventajas: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBG3pvXhocK7_GjeIx2sUeg/join Subirse, más bien bajarse, a un deportivo de verdad, de los bajitos, no es fácil. Y salir mucho menos. Así que, si tienes años, no estás ágil o te sobran kilos y quieres llevar un Ferrari o un Lamborghini, estás marcas se han acordado de ti y han diseñado el Purosangue y el Urus. Ya tenemos un tipo de cliente: La persona que necesita o simplemente aprecia que acceder a su coche o descender de él sea fácil. Nada que objetar. Vamos a por el segundo cliente, Los nuevos ricos, que tienen mucho dinero pero que, en muchos casos, no saben nada de coches, van al concesionario de Ferrari o Lamborghini y piden “lo último”, lo más caro… y el vendedor va y les atiza un SUV con el argumento de que es lo más novedoso de la marca… Los dos motivos, la dificultad de acceso y su reciente riqueza, no son excluyentes y pueden coincidir… y, de hecho, os lo aseguro porque lo he visto, muchas veces lo hacen. Pero no me olvido de una tercera vía: Aquellos que quieren un coche de cierta marca, pero con cuatro puertas. Esto no es nuevo y ya pasó con Porsche. Muchos usuarios querían un Porsche por calidad e imagen, no la del coche, sino la que transmitía el conducir un Porsche. Pero luego llegó el Cayenne, un Porsche práctico y accesible -físicamente, no económicamente- que multiplicó las ventas. SUV viene, como otras muchas cosas, el inglés, “Sport Utility Vehicle”. O sea, un vehículo útil y deportivo… ¿deportivo? Sí, se refiere a los usuarios, personas que tienen una vida activa y que practican deportes y que un coche con ciertas cualidades de TT y mucho espacio, le viene bien. Así que un SUV es un coche preferentemente grande, alto y con mucha capacidad. Analicemos ahora el concepto “coche deportivo”. Todos entendemos que un coche deportivo es aquel que ofrece unas prestaciones por encima de la media, pero no solo me refiero a la aceleración y la frenada, sino a su agilidad y paso por curva. Visto esto… ¿SUV DEPORTIVO? Me parto. Dime de qué presumes… y te diré de qué careces. Ferrari ha llamado a su SUV “Purosangue” como para dar a entender que es un Ferrari de “Pura sangre”. Pues lo lamento por los chicos de Ferrari, pero de este coche pueden decirse muchas cosas, bastantes de ellas buenas… pero que es un Ferrari “Purasangre”, justo eso, no. Olvídate de la marca: Hablamos de un coche de 5 metros de largo, 1,6 m de alto que con gasolina y dos pasajeros se pone en 2,5 toneladas de peso… ¿esto es un Ferrari de “Purasangre”? Ya, ya sé que lleva un motoraco V12 de 6,5 litros y 725 CV…. Lo que le convierte en un coche grande y pesado, pero rápido. Para tener la altura y el peso que tiene va muy bien… pero no lo compares con un deportivo de la marca. Lo primero que lees al entrar en la página oficial de Lamborghini acerca del Urus es que se trata de “el primer vehículo utilitario superdeportivo en todo el mundo que fusiona el alma de un vehículo superdeportivo con la funcionalidad”. A ver, si los clientes de los Lamborghini van buscando “utilidad” … mal vamos. Un Lamborghini deportivo de verdad, por ejemplo, un Huracán, es lo menos práctico que puedas encontrar sobre cuatro ruedas… ¿te importa? ¡A mí no! Me importa que mide 1,16 m. de alto, pesa 1.400 kg y tiene un motor central de 639 CV. El Urus mide medio metro más de alto, ¡casi un 30 por ciento más que el Huracán!, pesa 2.300 kg, ¡casi un 80 por ciento más! Para una potencia similar… eso sí, es muy práctico… tiene 5 puertas. Conclusión. Nos hemos metido con Ferrari, Lamborghini y SUV caros, estúpidos y supuestamente deportivos hay más: El Audi RS Q8, el Aston Martin DBX 707, el Bentley Bentayga S, el Maserati Levante, el Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600, por supuesto el Porsche Cayenne Turbo, para terminar, el Rolls Royce Cullinan. Todos con más de 500 CV, todos con más, algunos muchos más de 2.500 kg y todos desde casi 200.000 € para arriba… Eso sí, muy prácticos… ¿Os he convencido? Coche del día. ¡Me voy a ir por las ramas! El Lotus Super Seven porque está en las antípodas de un SUV, pequeño. Bajito, ligero, muy deportivo, absolutamente inútil para todo lo que no sea disfrutar al volante.

Soy Checkoff: https://www.unitedsoybean.org/Prime Future Newsletter: https://primefuture.substack.com/Leachman Cattle of Colorado: https://leachman.com/URUS: https://www.urus.org/In agriculture, we have exponentially more examples of people collecting data than we do of people using data to unlock real value supported by real dollars. Cattle genetics company Leachman Cattle is one of those few who demonstrated the ability to do just that. "You know, we kinda had set our own course to analyze our own data, to gather our own data to store it. And that's just been part of our model. It certainly wouldn't have been the cheapest route to go. But if you go the cheapest route, which is you put your data in a breed association, then we wouldn't have had any proprietary data or indexes. And I think it is that information and the way we use that information that. That led to the opportunity that we had to do business with URUS."That's Lee Leachman, and Uris, who he mentioned there at the end, just agreed to acquire a majority stake in Leachman Cattle to take these proven proprietary genetics and build programs around them that optimize the entire value chain. "We want to build systems that capture value for dairy farmers and beef cattle ranchers that bring more money back to the farm. And to do that, we've gotta optimize these animals from conception to consumption, and we've gotta have enough structure to pass the value back."Lee Leachman chats with Janette Barnard on today's Future of Agriculture podcast. Lee's going to share more about his background and his company during the conversation, but I actually wasn't a part of this one. This interview was conducted by my good friend and occasional co-host on this show, Janette Barnard. Long time listeners know Janette from previous episodes that she has co-hosted with me, and I hope you all are subscribers to her email newsletter, which is called Prime Future, which you can signup for at primefuture.substack.com.
The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Today we're welcoming Kyle back from a well deserved family vacation as we talk about GM's labor moves in the name of ‘simplicity'. We also cover the very first electric Lambo, as well as the massive brand power behind one man. GM is working toward keeping things simple as it unveils plans to reshape its engineering workforce. This initiative, part of a broader strategy, seeks to align the automaker's resources with its evolving vision for the future. General Motors (GM) intends to cut around 200 engineering positions while affected employees will have the chance to transition to other roles within the company.GM's "Winning with Simplicity" strategy, introduced by CEO Mary Barra, aims to decrease design and engineering expenses and simplify vehicle manufacturing processes.The company's goal is to achieve $2 billion in cost reductions by the end of 2024, with an additional $1 billion in fixed cost cuts identified.Approximately 5,000 salaried workers opted for a voluntary buyout this year, leading to savings of about $1 billion and avoiding layoffs.Late last week, Lamborghini unveiled their first EV concept, the Lanzador which is a fusion of supercar aesthetics and SUV functionality. As the brand's first foray into the electric realm, the Lanzador promises staggering power, eco-conscious interiors, and a commitment to a sustainable future.The company is calling the Lanzador, a 2+2 concept, combining elements of a supercar and SUV, boasting a staggering power output of 1,341 horsepower and dual motors powered by a high-performance battery is capable of putting out a megawatt of power.The vehicle's design draws inspiration from the Revuelto super sports car and the Urus, featuring unique proportions, Gandini arches, and a Y-shaped bodyside accent.The interior offers a "pilot" concept with a Y-shaped dashboard, digital instrument cluster, and extensive use of eco-friendly materials, including Merino wool upholstery and sustainably tanned leather.The Lanzador is slated to be released in 2028 amid the company's state goal of fully electrifying every vehicle in its lineup in some way by 2024In what might be a “too soon” moment for Kyle, Soccer Phenom Lionel Messi has transformed Major League Soccer's landscape scoring his tenth goal in seven games as he kicked the winning goal against Nashville SC on Saturday night to win the Leagues Cup Tournament. Messi's influence has doubled Apple TV+ subscriptions, made his jersey a top-seller, and surged ticket prices by over 1,700%.

Thoughts from the gearhead planet... Sticky tires and Bilstein PSS9s, Doc's Elise and Ryan's Alpina, pie-faced ditzes and Porsche mugs, Teslas trying to burn down mid-race, BMWs and their airbags, electric STis won't hunt (or go hillclimbing, or all day), new and used car prices up about 20% since Sniffy Joe got into office (and the electric-car price distortion), Lamborghini's slightly challenging (and airborne) Pike's Peak record attempt, and a few thoughts on how microplastics might be a secondary problem to the overall plastic recycling fraud. Also, other stuff. Also also, safety should not depricate freedom, and dumb folks don't know they are. More tastiness: Velvet Acid Christ, Steril, Korn, Zombie, Skrew, Nation of Fear, Nick Cave, 16 Volt and Sugar Ray.

Lucid Motors has announced its expansion into Norway, one of the most advanced markets for EVs globally, following successful launches in North America and the United Arab Emirates. The company will launch its flagship electric sedan, the Lucid Air, in Norway in the coming months and plans to open showrooms in Oslo and Bergen later this year. Ford is adding a "burnout mode" to its electric cars, allowing the vehicles to spin their wheels without moving. The feature will be available on all of Ford's electric vehicles, including the Mustang Mach-E GT, and is sure to appeal to car enthusiasts. Chinese automaker Geely's subsidiary, Lynk & Co, has launched its first electric vehicle, the Zero Concept, at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show. The EV has a range of up to 435 miles, cutting-edge technology, and is aimed at urban, younger drivers, with a subscription service that includes insurance and maintenance. Toyota has announced that the BZ3, its first electric vehicle co-developed with BYD, has rolled off the production line. The compact SUV will have a range of around 250 miles, advanced driver assistance systems, and will be launched in China first. Lamborghini is reportedly set to introduce its first-ever plug-in hybrid vehicle, the 2024 Lamborghini Urus Plug-in Hybrid. The car is expected to offer an electric driving range of about 30 miles, an 800-hp power output, and will be built on the same platform as the current Urus model. Volvo has delivered 20 electric trucks to DFDS in Gothenburg to be used for distribution and delivery services. DFDS aims to transition to electric trucks to reduce its carbon footprint and improve air quality in urban areas. Colorado has released its Electric Vehicle (EV) Plan to accelerate EV adoption with a goal of installing 500,000 charging ports by 2030, increasing EV availability through incentives, and addressing equity concerns. The plan takes a comprehensive approach to expanding EV infrastructure, promoting consumer awareness and education, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Tesla is among several companies reviewing their investments in Europe to comply with the IRA announced by President Biden, which aims to reduce electronic waste. The company is committed to environmental sustainability and actively seeking ways to comply with the IRA, including reviewing its Gigafactory in Berlin. Turkey has imposed a 40% additional tariff on electric vehicle imports from China starting from March 2023 to boost local production and employment. This decision aligns with Turkey's goal to reduce its reliance on foreign imports and increase domestic production while presenting opportunities for other countries to expand their electric vehicle exports to Turkey. California's Independent System Operator (CAISO) has raised concerns over whether the state's power grid can manage the surge in electric vehicles (EVs). A 15-fold increase in EVs could result in a 25% increase in electricity demand in California by 2045, but the report suggests that the challenges can be mitigated with proper planning, investment in renewable energy, and implementation of programs to incentivize charging during off-peak hours. Li Auto's CEO, Li Xiang, predicts that the price of lithium carbonate will drop by up to 40% in the next year due to an increase in production capacity and supply chain improvements, which will benefit the electric vehicle industry. This decrease in prices will make electric vehicles more accessible to consumers and lead to lower costs for manufacturers. Automakers such as Volkswagen and General Motors are investing in and partnering with mining startups and junior mining companies to secure a steady supply of minerals needed for EV batteries. However, these partnerships present challenges, including lack of experience and infrastructure for large-scale mining operations, and navigating the complexities of the mining industry.

本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注。喜马拉雅文稿更新，在12月19日左右。很久没有说过跑车了，最近一段时间聊得要么是家用车，要么是新能源车，是时候该提升一下听友的口味了。说起跑车，大家都会清一色的想到法拉利、兰博基尼这些欧盟品牌，但是一定不能少了英国，提到英国跑车，可能你会想到迈凯伦，但是别忘了，还有一个品牌，那就是路特斯。正好前段时间，路特斯发布了旗下首款SUV产品ELETRE，也是一款纯电车型，在国内目前推出了两个版本，S+车型82.8万元起，R+车型102.8万元起。这车一上市，网上就炸开了锅，说路特斯一个跑车品牌，现在竟然堕落到生产SUV了？还是个纯电？这里面不光有键盘侠，还有很多老的路特斯跑车车主也说道，之前他花60万买了Elise，是一台英国产的纯正路特斯跑车，现在花100万竟然只能买一台武汉造的电动路特斯SUV？也可能有些听友听半天，不知道今天聊的这是什么品牌的什么车型？如果你或者你家孩子玩和平精英，你可以问问他，说不定他都比你了解。因为路特斯跟和平精英合作，付费玩家可以在游戏里买到路特斯ELETRE当做自己的载具。我今天写稿的时候，就把我女儿叫到电脑前，问她认不认识这款车。她脱口而出，这是莲花。所以这期节目我们就来好好聊聊路特斯这个品牌有什么特色？吉利现在到底是什么关系？以及ELETRE有哪些亮点，定价到底算不算贵？路特斯品牌的特色是什么？每个汽车品牌都有自己的特点，比如说到奔驰大家就会想到豪华，不管是上到S级还是下到A级和C级，在同级里奔驰的产品就是设计的很豪华，双联屏的热潮就是从奔驰这里开始的。而说到宝马就会想到运动，即便现在宝马的主销车型都很舒适，比如这一代的3系，但是这依然不能撼动蓝天白云在消费者心中运动的形象，因为它上面的M POWER变得越来越强。尤其是这一代的S58发动机，虽然原厂出来510匹，但是只要刷个一阶就轻松能到600匹左右，再加上四驱系统，就能让M4百公里加速跑到3秒以内，着实很夸张。而说到沃尔沃就会想到安全，连车标都自带安全带，你说它安全不安全？那说到路特斯，估计很多人不知道，它最大的亮点是空气动力学。没错，可能在日常生活中尤其是城市里感受不深，但是一旦到了赛车场上，空气动力学就变得尤为重要。就比如F1赛车，车重才750公斤，但是它却能以一百甚至200公里每小时的速度过弯，靠的是车重吗？当然不是，大部分靠的还是空气动力学，利用各种空气学套件，比如前铲、尾翼、侧翼、扩散器等，通过空气的下压力来让车辆紧贴地面。所以很多人觉得车子越重跑起来就越稳，是个错误的想法。莲花汽车创始人科林·查普曼说过，增加动力让你在直道更快，而减轻重量可以让你在任何地方更快。路特斯对空气动力学的贡献是很大的。比如在1957年问世的路特斯Elilte，车身的风阻系数只有0.29，别说当时了，这个数据放到现在也依然很厉害，同时外观造型也很时尚新颖，并没有为了风阻系数刻意妥协。（1957年的Elite）更关键的是，路特斯那时候还是一个小厂，1952年才成立，那时候没有风洞实验室，因此这台车的设计师只依靠丰富的飞机设计经验就设计出了这么一款车，不得不佩服人家的功力深厚。并且，它的最大特点是玻璃纤维硬壳式车身，这也是第一辆应用复合材料车身和底盘的汽车。到了1962年的F1大奖赛上，路特斯推出了创新性的TYPE 25车型，它就是首款摒弃了传统的管状空间框架底盘，采用硬壳结构的单体承载式车身的F1赛车，说通俗点就是一体式车身结构。这样的结构带来的最大好处就是减少了车体空间，也减轻了车身重量，同时还提升了整车的刚性和强度。（TYPE 52）现在的F1赛车平均体重在750公斤左右，而路特斯TYPE 25只有恐怖的451公斤，再加上它200马力的最大输出，推重比达到了443.5马力/吨。此外，还有轰动一时的查普曼悬架。查普曼就是路特斯的创始人，在当时，他脑洞大开地用驱动轴充当了悬架控制臂，从而减少了悬挂的零件个数和重量，并应用于Lotus Type 12和Type 14的后悬挂。不久后又被ELAN上的升级版所取代。（查普曼悬架）在1968年，路特斯还破天荒的在F1赛场上首次应用了定风尾翼的设计，就是为了抵抗赛车高速行驶下产生的升力。当然，灵感也是来源于飞机。到了1970年的F1西班牙大奖赛，路特斯推出的Type 72在车头处还采用了创新的楔形设计。（TYPE 72）所以有了定风尾翼和楔形车头的加持，路特斯TYPE 72在五年里拿了两届车手总冠军、三届车队总冠军和20场分站赛冠军。而且从外形上看，它应该算得上是近代F1造型的鼻祖，也是人类历史上最伟大的F1赛车之一。真要论资排辈，现在所有车上装的尾翼的起源都来自路特斯，当然还有后扩散器。所以路特斯绝对是妥妥的空气动力学之王，没有之一。（TYPE 72）为什么吉利要收购路特斯？意义在哪里？不过目前来看，路特斯的辉煌只能留在过去了。因为自从1982年，54岁的路特斯创始人查普曼因心脏病去世后，路特斯的辉煌便一去不复返，此时公司的财务已是满目疮痍。后来又经过十几年的残喘，1996年终于被宝腾汽车收购。（柯林·查普曼）可能很多人到现在都没听过宝腾汽车是什么。宝腾汽车诞生于1983年，是马来西亚前总理马哈蒂尔一手创立的国民汽车品牌。说到这里，肯定也要提一下当时的黑历史青年莲花。不少80后当时在买车时应该都听过青年莲花这个品牌，没错，就是宝腾汽车在收购了路特斯之后，把Lotus的使用权卖给了中国品牌青年汽车，才有了青年莲花。但为什么宝腾汽车要好端端的把路特斯的使用权卖给国内的品牌呢？目的只有一个，那就是卖车。相信很多冲着莲花名号的年轻人跑到青年莲花的4S店后，估计瞬间会被泼一盆冷水。你以为青年莲花卖得都是纯正的路特斯跑车，极致的操控再加不可妥协的轻量化，结果看到的却是和丰田卡罗拉一样的普通A级家用轿车，开起来还没飞度运动，估计10个人有9个都要直呼，好一个挂羊头卖狗肉。也是从那时起，让国内的消费者对于路特斯有了很大的误解，以为青年莲花就是路特斯莲花，这个品牌可以说就是毁在了宝腾手里。宝腾公司才不管莲花品牌的死活，在咱们国内卖的青年莲花L3的原型车就是宝腾Gen-2。所以很快，青年莲花就因为销量不行倒闭了。后来在2017年6月，吉利收购了路特斯。不过准确来说，是吉利收购了宝腾汽车49.9%的股份，顺势把宝腾汽车掌控路特斯的51%股份收入囊中。之所以吉利会这么做，有两点好处。一是宝腾汽车是马来西亚的国民品牌，所以可以借助宝腾品牌在马来西亚，甚至整个东南亚的影响力扩大吉利海外的市场。毕竟在东南亚，性价比高的车是很吃香的。二是因为路特斯不管是车身轻量化技术、底盘调教技术、赛车运动以及文化都是世界一流的，虽然现在不行了，但是之前好歹也是和法拉利、保时捷一起并称为世界三大跑车制造商，瘦死的骆驼也比马大，现在不少国家的车迷依然还深爱着路特斯。所以吉利既可以借助路特斯的技术来提升自己品牌的运动性，因为在吉利的产品布局中，好像就差一个极为运动的跑车品牌了。还可以借助路特斯的影响把自己推向欧美等市场，再一次扩大自己的市场份额。所以这对于吉利来说意义重大，也可以说这一步棋走的一举两得。路特斯ELETRE定价到底贵不贵？路特斯就这样，先是被宝腾收购，再被吉利打包带走。不过最近这几年，有了吉利的支持后，万年不换代的路特斯竟然一口气停产了之前所有的产品，并且推出了全新的产品系列。其中就包括前段时间发布的一款全新纯电车型，也是路特斯的首款SUV车型ELETRE。不过它82.8-102.8万的定价也是让网友直呼贵。不过它到底贵不贵呢？有网友调侃，这车就是极氪王中王Plus Pro Max S Ultra British Edition版本，源自于吉利的浩瀚架构，造型还特别像东风风行T5 EVO，凭什么卖那么贵？当然也有人觉得：运动SUV造型、电吸门、后轮转向、无框电吸车门、空气悬挂、R+版零百加速2.95秒、极速260公里、电池112度、800伏充电平台、前后多连杆、双腔空气悬挂、48v主动防倾杆、CDC连续可调减震器、四条P0 Corsa轮胎、23个扬声器的KEF音响、双8155芯片、四颗激光雷达（顶部还能自动隐藏）等等，所有的一切他都非常满意，他甚至愿意再花钱选装四座，选装10活塞卡钳+陶瓷碳纤维的刹车系统。其实，Eletre这款车长度超过5米1，宽度超2米，轴距超3米，妥妥的中大型SUV了。而从外形和设计上来看，在这一级别的SUV里绝对算得上惊艳，巨大的多边形前保险杠非常夸张，引擎盖上还有两个巨大的通风口。车尾造型也是很有肌肉感，不管是宽大的分体式顶翼还是可升降的尾翼都给你配全了，要知道比它贵好几倍的兰博基尼URUS和法拉利PUROSANGUE可没有电动尾翼。所以从外观上来看，ELETRE没有给空气动力学出身的路特斯丢脸。不过总感觉它和兰博基尼URUS、法拉利PUROSANGUE有点神似。包括内饰上，设计地也很战斗。所以如果你拿路特斯ELETRE去对比兰博基尼URUS和法拉利PUROSANGUE，你会觉得ELETRE就是白菜价。差不多的外观，差不多的内饰，差两倍的价格，不管它是电动还是燃油，买的人玩的就是它的设计和开在街上独一无二的新鲜感。其他人之前至少花300万才能装的x，我现在只要花100万就够了。再加上路特斯的品牌也有车迷是认可的，只要在这部分车迷中找出那些能够掏出将近100万的即可。至于这台车值不值100万，如果你不是车迷，肯定是觉得不值的，只有喜欢并且欣赏这个品牌的人才会觉得值。他们实际上就是希望在自己有生之年，车库里拥有过一台莲花，至于是油，是电，还是混动，其实无所谓。能买得起这款车的用户家里至少两台以上备用车，续航，充电，空间，保值率这些都不是影响决策的关键因素，感觉才是。我看了很多网友的评论，大部分网友，还是拿普通家用电动车的眼光去看它，那必然会觉得它价格真的很贵。因为，把它的每一项单独拎出来，都没有很惊艳。好像也只有100多万的R+版本的数据能拿得出手，双电机四驱，最大马力918匹，最大扭矩985牛米，百公里加速2.95秒。有人肯定要说这动力还不好吗？其实网友调侃的不是100多万这款，而是 80多万的S+版本，才 612匹，710牛米，零百加速4.5秒。肯定有人会说，现在30多万的电动车，都可以做到零百加速3秒多了呢。ELETRE R+售价102.8万，别忘了刚刚在上海进博会上亮相的特斯拉MODEL S/X PLAID，不是我吹，它俩可是三电机四驱，最大马力1020匹，百公里加速2.1秒。更夸张的是它的后段加速也异常的凶猛，400米加速只要9.3秒。国外网友拿MODEL S PLAID和布加迪跑过，布加迪依然甘拜下风，而且特斯拉这两台车，它的最高车速能到322KM/H。就是不知道引入国内，消费者敢不敢买，快是挺快，刹不刹得住呢？如果莲花的创始人还在世的话，看到特斯拉发展到今天，他可能会后悔当初把Elise拿给特斯拉，改造成了特斯拉第一款电动车Roadster.但现实就是这样，虽然ELETRE的马力很大，但是整备质量却有3吨，所以真正测起来，R+的百公里应该在3秒出头。性能上完全比不过105.999万的特斯拉MODEL S PLAID。而且，ELETRE看似搭载了112度的宁德时代三元锂电池，CLTC官方续航为S+ 650公里、R+560公里，但是ELETRE可是重3吨，所以后期真正跑起来，续航达成率到底有多少也未知。因此总结来说，路特斯ELETRE又是一款为土豪打造的大玩具，注定它是针对一小部分人群的。但是对于那一部分人群来说，他们又觉得ELETRE又很划算，和兰博基尼URUS、法拉利PUROSANGUE一样有设计感，并且价格有很合适，所以分分钟把车提。至于其他的问题，只要在车库或者院子里装一个充电桩就行了。所以，这台车的广告语，应该是Z世代富二代的第一辆电动车。可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号：

Show #1469 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of EV information. It's Monday 16th May, it's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. NIO REACHES 500 TOTAL DELIVERIES IN NORWAY - The Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker opened its first local NIO Service Center in Norway on May 12 and delivered its 500th vehicle in the country at the opening ceremony, according to information shared Friday on the Norwegian version of the NIO app. - NIO announced its official entry into Norway, the company's first stop overseas, on May 6 of last year. Its first model offered in Norway is the ES8 SUV, and its flagship sedan, the ET7, is also expected to be available in the country this year. Original Source : https://cnevpost.com/2022/05/16/nio-reaches-500-total-deliveries-in-norway/ TESLA CHALLENGER NIO INC. DELIVERS ITS 200,000 ELECTRIC VEHICLE - Electric vehicle startup NIO Inc, which has emerged as one of China's promising new electric vehicle startups, has reached deliveries of 200,000 electric vehicles in the world's biggest auto market. - Reaching deliveries of 200,000 vehicles is a significant milestone for NIO after launching its first vehicle, the ES8 SUV, in 2018. As a result, NIO is becoming a serious competitor to Tesla in China. - NIO is also planning to launch its sixth battery-powered model soon named the ES7, which is an SUV that will compete with Tesla's Model Y and BMW's X5L SUV that's sold in the China market - NIO's vehicles are uniquely designed, as the batteries can be removed at one of the automaker's battery swap stations called "NIO Power". The entire swap process takes about 10 minutes. It offers a faster alternative of plugging in and waiting for the battery to charge, but also helps address the current lack of convenient EV charging infrastructure across China. - By the end of the year, the company said its will have in total over 1,300 Power Swap stations, 6,000 Power Chargers and 10,000 destination chargers online across China, including along China's famed Silk Road that links the eastern and western regions of China. - Under the BaaS model, if a customer decides to purchase a NIO electric vehicle and subscribe to use the 70kWh battery pack under the BaaS model, the purchase price drops by 70,000 yuan ($10,450). Customers then pay a monthly fee of 980 yuan ($146) for the battery pack itself. - NIO ET7 customers will also be offered a subscription service for NIO Autonomous Driving (NAD), the company's autonomous driving feature that's similar to Tesla's Autopilot. Original Source : https://www.futurecar.com/5405/Tesla-Challenger-NIO-Inc--Delivers-its-200000-Electric-Vehicle-a-Significant-Milestone LAMBORGHINI CONFIRMS ELECTRIC URUS IS COMING - Drive recently had the chance to sit down with Lamborghini design boss Mitja Borkert and talk about many different topics. Among them was a question about a potential zero-emissions variant of the super-SUV, to which Borkert initially confirmed the EV but then walked back a little. - “Sooner or later the Urus will be going electric… to be honest, the regulations in the world and also the social acceptance – the trend is going in this way for sure," the designer told the Australian publication. “I'm not saying right now that the Urus successor is going electric, but for these kinds of cars electrification makes more sense.” - As far as the rest of Lamborghini's lineup is concerned, Borkert confirmed the company will offer combustion power for as long as it is possible from a legal standpoint. The switch to electric powertrains, however, is inevitable.

NIL Discussion about Texas RB Bijan Robinson and his deal with Lamborghini...
After two decades of anarchy, one man appeared from the darkness to restore the Golden Horde to its might: this was Toqtamish. Just as the candle may spark up just before it goes out, Toqtamish seemed poised to right the wrongs of the previous decades, and reaffirm the power of the Golden Horde over its subjects, and thus bring about further centuries of greatness. But then came Temür, Toqtamish's former patron, turned greatest enemy. I'm your host David, and this is Kings and Generals: Age of Conquest. While our series on the Golden Horde has so far focused on the descendants of Batu Khan, the khans of the Golden Horde until the start of 1360s, the other descendants of Jochi's many other sons had their own appanages within the khanate. Of the fourteen named sons of Jochi, by the late fourteenth century there were two of these lineages left who held any might. These were the lines of Shiban, Jochi's fifth son, and Toqa-Temür, Jochi's youngest son. As the house of Batu and Orda went extinct in the middle of the fourteenth century, the torch of rulership was passed between these lineages. It seems both lineages were largely based in the eastern part of the khanate, in the Blue Horde or the ulus of Orda. The Shibanids held lands in what was to become the Khanate of Sibir, named for the fortress of the same name. The heart of this territory was the upper Irtysh River, and if the name of Sibir sounds familiar, that's because in time it gave its name to Siberia. The Toqa-Temürids meanwhile seem to have generally ranged east of the Ural river, across the Kazakh steppes. In the chaos that followed Berdi Beğ Khan's death in 1359, it was representatives of the Shibanids who first moved west to claim the throne in Sarai. When Orda's line died out in the 1360s, the Toqa-Temürids were the ones on the scene to usurp the ulus in the Blue Horde lands, though it was not a secure power base. The order of khans is a matter of great contention: reigns were brief, and various sources often offer contradictory information, which is often further contradicted with the dates given on coinage in the period. What is clear is that the Blue Horde contenders quickly, if not immediately, saw their conflict and their state as independent of the wars for Sarai ongoing at the same time. The Blue Horde was now separate, once more, from the Golden. One of the earliest figures to seize the vacant throne of the Ordaids was Qara-Nogai, a Toqa-Temürid. In the early 1360s he was elected khan in Sighnaq, the Blue Horde administrative capital, located on the lower reaches of Syr Darya River near the Aral Sea. His reign was brief, but after some years of conflict members of his family continued to claim the throne; the most notable of these was Urus Khan, whose reign is usually dated to beginning in 1368. Urus Khan was a real strong man— and not a descendant of Orda, as newer research has demonstrated. In the decade of his reign Urus established a firm hold on power and firm military backing. Rivals for the throne were violently killed or exiled, and around 1372 he even led an army to take Sarai and declare himself Khan of the Golden Horde, though he soon abandoned the city. Nonetheless he exercised a monopoly on power in the Blue Horde which made it considerably more stable than the ongoing troubles in the Golden Horde, which was too much even for Urus to exert control over. But such was his influence that his sons and descendants continued to be prominent players for decades. Two sons, Quyurchuq and Ulugh Muhammad, later became khans of the Golden Horde, while the latter established the Khanate of Kazan; a grandson of Urus, Baraq, also became Khan of the Golden Horde, while Urus' great-grandchildren established the Kazakh Khanate. It should not be a surprise then that some historians suggest that Urus should be identified with Alash Khan, the legendary founder of the Kazakhs from whom all khans were descended. Descent from Urus, in effect, became a new form of legitimacy after the fourteenth century. As mentioned, Urus took to killing and exiling his rivals to power. These were often fellow Toqa-Temürids. One such fellow who he had killed was his cousin, Toy-Khwaja. In the aftermath, Toy-Khwaja's son was forced to flee; this is our first introduction to Toqtamish. Toy-Khwaja must have been quite the rival and had some following, for Toqtamish never had much trouble finding supporters for himself. One source indicates Toqtamish's mother was a high ranking lady of the Sufi-Qonggirads, a dynasty which had recently established its quasi-independence from the Blue Horde at Urgench and now ruled Khwarezm. A young and courageous warrior, if not the most tactically skilled, Prince Toqtamish deeply desired both revenge and power. Urus Khan's horsemen pursued him, and Toqtamish fled for his life right out of the steppe, crossing the Syr Darya River to seek shelter with a new rising power: Aksak Temür as the Turks of the time knew him; he'd prefer to be known as Emir Temür Güregen, son-in-law to the house of Chinggis and sahib-i qiran, “lord of the Auspicious Conjunction.” Persians knew him as Temür-i Lang, and today we know him best as Tamerlane. Since half the people in this period are named some variation of Temür, to help make it easier to tell everyone apart we'll stick with his popular moniker of Tamerlane. Since the beginning of the 1360s, Tamerlane had fought for power in the ruins of the western half of the Chagatai Khanate. By spring 1370 he had succeeded in becoming master of Transoxania. As a non-Chinggisid, Tamerlane could not bear the title of khan or rule in his own right over nomads. Thus his official title was Emir, presenting himself as the protector of his new puppet khan, a descendant of Ögedai. From this basis the Timürid empire began to expand. When Toqtamish fled to the domains of Tamerlane around 1375, the Emir's attention was still mostly local. His campaigns into Iran had not yet begun, and instead he alternated between attacking the Sufi-Qonggirads in Khwarezm, and Qamar al-Din, the ruler of the eastern Chagatai lands, or Moghulistan as it was commonly known at the time. Undoubtedly, Tamerlane held a wary eye to his northern border; Urus Khan and his horsemen posed a real threat to Tamerlane, in a way none of his other neighbours did. Thus when a young, pliable claimant to the throne of Urus arrived in his court, Tamerlane was more than willing to oblige. Should Toqtamish control the Blue Horde, then Tamerlane needn't worry over that border and could turn his attention elsewhere. Toqtamish was received in Tamerlane's court with high honours and respect, and granted Otrar and other lands along the Syr Darya as patrimony, in addition to troops, horses and supplies. Not coincidentally, Otrar was within spitting distance of Sighnaq. Tamerlane had given Toqtamish a platform to seize the Blue Horde. Toqtamish quickly began raiding the lands of Urus, building his reputation as a warrior and charismatic leader. But Urus was no fool and quickly had an army sent after Toqtamish, under the command of a son, Qutlugh Buqa. Despite fierce effort on Toqtamish's part, and the death of Qutlugh Buqa in the fighting, Toqtamish was defeated and sent back to Tamerlane. The Emir provided Toqtamish another army, only for Toqtamish to again be defeated when another of Urus' armies came seeking to avenge Qutlugh Buqa. This time, according to the Timurid historian Yazdi, Toqtamish was so thoroughly beaten down that he ditched his armour and swam across the Syr Darya River to save his life, and returned to Tamerlane naked and humbled. Not long after came a representative of Urus, named Edigü, a powerful bey within the Blue Horde and head of the Manghit people. Edigü bore Urus' message demanding Tamerlane handover Toqtamish; was it not right for the father to avenge the son? What right did Tamerlane have to hold such a fugitive? Tamerlane refused to handover Toqtamish— whatever Tamerlaner's faults, and there were many, he had given his word as overlord to protect the young prince. Some authors go as far as to present an almost father/son dynamic between them. It's not impossible; Tamerlane had gone through his own period of qazaqliq, the Turkic term for when a prince was reduced to a state of near brigandage, a freebooter fighting for every scrap. It's the etymological basis, by the way, for both the Turkic Kazakh and the Cossacks of the Pontic steppes. Tamerlane may have sympathized with the fierce, proud Toqtamish, in contrast with his own sons who tended to range from lazy to unreliable. Tamerlane's own favoured son and heir, his second son Jahangir Mirza, died about this time in 1376 or 7, leaving his father stricken with grief. Toqtamish may have filled in the gap, and as Toqtamish himself had lost his father, it's not difficult to imagine Toqtamish valuing Tamerlane's presence greatly. Of course, it may simply have been convenience on the part of both parties. With Tamerlane's refusal to hand over Toqtamish, Urus Khan led an army against them. Tamerlane raised one in response, with Toqtamish in the vanguard. Skirmishing ensued, and nearly did the full forces clash, had not, according to Yazdi, a vicious rainstorm kept the armies apart. They returned to their respective realms. The dramatic confrontation between the two great warlords of Central Asia was averted when, likely in 1378, Urus Khan suddenly died, followed in quick succession by the chief of his sons, Toqta Caya. In a mad dash, Tamerlane sent Toqtamish with an army to Sighnaq, and had him finally declared khan. Tamerlane returned comfortably to his capital of Samarkand, only to learn that Toqtamish had again been ousted, when another of Urus Khan's sons, Temür Malik, had declared himself khan and raised an army. Once more Tamerlane reinforced Toqtamish, though now Toqtamish was able to gather more support of his own. Finally Temür Malik Khan was overcome, and Toqtamish firmly emplaced as Khan of the Blue Horde. Not coincidentally, from this point onwards Tamerlane was able to secure his frontiers and begin his southern conquests into Iran, which would hold his attention for the rest of the 1380s. The new Khan, Toqtamish, set about confirming the support of the pillars of his new realm. The Shibanids of Sibir, and the Sufi-Qonggirads of Khwarezm, despite their capital of Urgench being sacked by Tamerlane in 1379, were important suppliers of troops for Toqtamish. Numerous beys and princes came over to pledge allegiance to him. Toqtamish either convinced them of his divine support, or richly rewarded them, and succeeded in breaking even some factions. The Manghit leader Edigü, for instance, found that his brother ‘Isa Beğ became a staunch ally of Toqtamish Khan. Edigü's sister had been married to Urus Khan's son, the late Temür Malik Khan, and despite the latter's defeat Edigü remained a powerful and prominent figure within the Horde, controlling a great swath of pasture east of the Ural and Emba Rivers. To bring him over, or at least stop his active resistance, Toqtamish provided Edigü tarkhan, or tax-exempt, status and granted him more lands. With his rear secured, Toqtamish had not a moment to lose. His intentions were clear. Toqtamish was not aiming to just succeed his father, or Urus Khan, or be merely Khan of the Blue Horde. He had much bigger dreams. He idolized Öz Beg Khan and the glory days of the united ulus. Beyond that though, outside of Mongolia proper, Toqtamish was effectively the only Chinggisid monarch who held power in his own name. The Yuan Khans had been pushed from China, and their power restricted to the Mongol homeland, and their attention focused on battling Ming Dynasty incursions into the steppe. In the west, all other Chinggisids were puppets or minor princelings. Toqtamish therefore presented himself not just as heir to Özbeg and Jani Beg, or of Batu and Jochi, but as the heir to Chinggis Khan. For the rest of his life Toqtamish remained the most powerful single member of the house of Chinggis, and styled himself not as khan, but as khagan, Great Khan. And for that, he needed Sarai. Quickly, but carefully, he made his way onto the Jochid capital, winning over allies or defeating foes as he went, before taking the city in 1380. Only one great enemy remained, and that was the western beylerbeyi, Mamai. There was not a moment to waste once Mamai suffered defeat at Kulikovo against the Prince of Moscow in September 1380. As Mamai retreated to his base in the steppes north of Crima, Toqtamish granted yarliqs to the Italians in the Crimea to confirm and expand their privileges, trapping Mamai between them. Toqtamish unleashed a full assault on Mamai and crushed his power in a decisive engagement along the Kalka River. In the aftermath Toqtamish took Mamai's camp, his treasury, his wives and beys, and the rest of his troops. Mamai fled for his life, making his way to Caffa, where the Genoese took him captive and executed him in the name of Toqtamish Khaan. By 1381 Toqtamish was master of the Golden Horde, and set about reminding everyone of the order of things. The Rus' princes reaffirmed their submission, with even Dmitri Donskoi, the victor of Kulikovo, promptly sending gifts for Toqtamish, his wives and his princes. But their tardiness in submitting in person brought Toqtamish to shorten the leash. The Rus' had grown too haughty over the last two decades, and Toqtamish surprised them with a sudden and horrific onslaught. The Prince of Ryazan' saved his city with a last moment surrender. Other cities were not so lucky. Dmitri Donskoi had hoped to raise an army, but losses after Kulikovo were too great, the princes unwilling to follow Dmitri to such certain doom. In the end Dmitri was forced to flee Moscow before Toqtamish encircled the city. After three days, on the 26th of August 1382, the city was stormed, sacked and burned. Numerous others followed suit. Dmitri Donskoi was forced to send his son Vasili as hostage to the Horde, and paid heavy tribute. Once more Moscow minted coins in the name of the Khan, and once more Dmitri collected taxes for him too. Though Dmitri had his revenge on the Prince of Ryazan' with a vicious attack, the victor of Kulikovo died in 1389, only thirty years old. Now master of the lands of Jochi, Toqtamish set about re-strengthening the Horde. The internal stability, as the Horde enjoyed 10 years of relative peace after Toqtamish took Sarai, did wonders for internal trade and movement, coupled with the lessening of the plague impact. He enacted monetary reforms, expanding the centres which minted coins and a lighter standard for silver dirhams, which in the opinion of researchers like Nedashkovsky, was a recognition and response to inflation. When the bey Bekbulat tried to declare himself khan in Crimea, Toqtamish was able to come to agreement with him and reach a peaceable solution. Khwarezm and its Sufi-Qonggirad Dynasty, which Tamerlane had considered his subjects, now recognized Toqtamish as overlord and minted coins in his name from 1381 onwards. On the western frontier, the loss of lands to Lithuania was halted when Toqtamish won a victory over the Lithuanians at Poltava in 1382, and forced them to continue paying tribute for the lands they had already taken from the Horde. From Toqtamish's point-of-view, this was essentially making them his vassals, though the Lithuanians did not quite see it like this. Nonetheless, the Khan retained generally stable relations with the states along his border. Toqtamish also looked abroad. In distant Moghulistan Toqtamish established relations with Qamar al-Din, the effective ruler of the eastern Chagatai lands. In 1385 he opened contact with the Mamluks of Egypt, the first time in ten years diplomatic contact was made. He did not make the mistake of invading Azerbaijan, but instead formed a treaty of friendship with its ruler, Sultan Ahmad Jalayir. And this became quite the issue, for shortly after this treatment was made, Tamerlane invaded Azerbaijan and forced Ahmad Jalayir to flee Tabriz. Perhaps Tamerlane had been unaware of the treaty between Toqtamish and Sultan Ahmad, but it seems to have been the evolution of the ever-more fraught relationship between the two. Toqtamish Khan and Emir Tamerlane were already on roads to argument with both claiming the lands of Khwarezm. Tamerlane, now with a puppet Il-Khan, made a show of restoring the former lands of the Ilkhanate; just as Toqtamish was making a claim to restoring former Jochid lands in the Caucasus. But there was another ideological aspect at play. As we've emphasized already, Toqtamish was very proud of his Chinggisid ancestry, and appears to have a particular disgust for pretensions of non-Chinggisids to rule. Tamerlane's presentation of himself as a supreme lord, while also walking around with a bundle of Chinggisid puppets, was an insult Toqtamish could not idly abide. The Golden Horde and Timurid empire lay beside each other like two sharks, in a tank too tight for the both of them. Both rulers simply may have seen confrontation as inevitable, the presentations of both stretching past what the other anticipated, and both expected antagonism. It was Toqtamish who launched the first blow. After Timurid forces withdrew from Azerbaijan, Toqtamish attacked in late 1386, taking Baku, Tabriz, and Nakhchivan. Then in 1387, Toqtamish spun around the Caspian and Aral Seas, and in conjunction with Qamar al-Din of Moghulistan, Toqtamish took Tashkent and Qarshi before besieging Bukhara and Tamerlane's capital of Samarkand. Once Toqtamish withdrew, Tamerlane quickly retook Khwarezm, sacking Urgench in 1388 with a massacre to invoke those of Chinggis Khan. Immediate reprisals against Toqtamish were halted by rebellions in Khurasan and a retaliatory campaign in Moghulistan against Qamar al-Din. Once dealt with, Tamerlane could begin extensive preparations for an invasion of the Golden Horde, spending months assembling a large army and supplies collected from across his empire. After a series of feints, Tamerlane set out unexpectedly early in January 1391. Eyeing Tamerlane after several months of marching, Toqtamish felt he knew Tamerlane's plan. Anticipating that the Emir would cross the Ural River at Kurk-qul, Toqtamish ordered his army to gather there. In one of the surprise maneuvers he so loved, Tamerlane darted in a different direction; before Toqtamish's full force had even gathered, he learned Tamerlane had crossed further upriver. Toqtamish retreated lest he be outflanked, and his forces who arrived late were set upon by the Timurids. But despite this, Tamerlane was playing in Toqtamish's lands, and was no man of the steppe. Toqtamish drew Tamerlane deeper into the steppe, and in the process began to starve his large army. Parties sent out to forage were ambushed by Toqtamish's warriors, and the Khan tried to burn the grasslands before the Timurids, though the wet spring hampered this. Knowing his starving men would soon be at their limit, Tamerlane rallied with men with a large hunting expedition and glamourous review of the troops, while sending his son, Omar-Sheikh Mirza with 20,000 swift riders to overtake Toqtamish and force him to battle, allowing the main force to catch up to the Khan. The ploy worked, and Toqtamish was forced to draw up at the Kondurcha River on June 18th, 1391. The two massive armies arrayed themselves in large, crescent formations. Both forces were largely horse archers, light and heavy cavalry, with Tamerlane bringing infantry from his Central Asian cities and as far as Badakhshan, and Toqtamish infantry from the Horde's urban centers. Tamerlane strengthened his wings with units staggered behind them to protect against encirclement, and commanded the rearguard behind the centre. The Golden Horde struck first, attacking across the entire front, Toqtamish himself leading repeated charges. However, some of Toqtamish's flank commanders retreated, either due to treachery or miscommunication. With the Horde now stretched thin, Tamerlane ordered a counter charge against Toqtamish's left and centre, which broke and the rest retreated. Though the field was won, Toqtamish and much of his army had escaped. Deprived of a total victory, Tamerlane withdrew, but not before appointing another Toqa-Temürid Temür Qutlugh, as khan, with the wily Edigü empowered too. With Tamerlane spending the next few years darting hither and yon across Iran, Toqtamish recoupled his strength, and planned the next bout. When the Prince of Moscow, Dmitri Donskoi's son Vasili, wished to annex the city of Nizhnii Novgorod, he delivered a large bribe to Toqtamish which the khan was happy to put to use. Gifts and messengers went across the world as Toqtamish built an anti-Timurid alliance. Old allies like the Mamluks and Jalayirids, but also other Turkic states with whom the Horde had had no ties with before, such as the Ottomans and Qaraqoyunlu, the so-called Black Sheep Turkomans. Tamerlane was hardly blind to it, and engaged in his own diplomacy to dissuade such a coalition from forming. But Tamerlane's political capital was spent. Watching Tamerlane's movement, Toqtamish placed his own army north of the Caucasus. The two sent envoys to one another in a final diplomatic effort, to no avail, and Tamerlane marched into the steppe in the first months of 1395. This time he caught Toqtamish along the Terek River in April 1395, near Grozny in Chechnya. The Golden Horde controlled the north bank of the closest ford and unwilling to storm it, Tamerlane marched upstream, with Toqtamish mirroring him for three days. According to a Spanish envoy to Tamerlane's court, Ruy Gonzalez de Clavijo, on the third night, the women and servants in Temur's camp donned armour and continued on, while the main force swiftly doubled back in the darkness and crossed the now unguarded ford. It didn't take Toqtamish long to discover the ruse, but it was too late: Tamerlane's army deployed on their side late on April 14th. Anticipating a night attack, Tamerlane ordered a moat dug around his camp. Toqtamish's forces skirmished along the edges of the moat, playing instruments and shouting, keeping Temur's army up with expectations of an assault. But Toqtamish held the main army back, resting them. On the morning of the 15th, they formed up. Again they brought massive armies, and Tamerlane increased the size of his rearguard in expectation of encirclement. Toqtamish opened the battle, his right falling upon Temur's left rearguard. Tamerlane ordered the left wing to assist, and the Golden Horde's right retreated. Eager to press the assault, Tamerlane's left pursued, leaving the security of the main army and were drawn into a feigned retreat. Surrounded, the Timurid left was decimated, the survivors colliding with Tamerlane's lines as a Jochid charge followed up. Battle order was lost. Tamerlane retreated to the fortified camp, Toqtamish's troops in hot pursuit and nearly captured the emir. With Tamerlane himself now under threat, his commanders acted promptly, forcing wagons together in an impromptu stockade. They held off the Horde long enough for the remainder of the army to form back up, and by evening counterattacked and forced back the Jochids, until nightfall separated them. So ended the first day of battle. Discipline and composure were reestablished that night and the armies drew up early on the 16th. Toqtamish's army again began the battle, his left flank forcing back Tamerlane's vanguard, and soon Temur's right was nearly overcome as well. One commander ordered large shields forced into the ground, and from behind this barricade Tamerlane's archers dismounted and shot at the approaching Tatars, halting their advance. Temur reinforced them with several units from his bodyguard, repulsing the Jochids under this volley of arrows. The second day ended better than the first for Tamerlane, but the old emir knew Toqtamish had him matched. That evening he made overtures to a discontented emir in Toqtamish's camp, Aktau, promising him rewards for promoting intrigue. By morning Aktau had abandoned the battlefield, making his way in time to Anatolia. Toqtamish was disheartened but determined, and formed up again, his left wing weaker with Aktau's absence. Toqtamish's centre and flanks all attacked Tamerlane, but Tamerlane had built up his forces on the right, and broke through the weakened Jochid left. Hard fighting continued until evening, Toqtamish valiantly trying to save the left and prevent encirclement, but Temur had the better of the day. Defeated, Toqtamish had an orderly retreat planned, sending one commander to the Caucasus in an effort to harass Tamerlane's rear. This gave Toqtamish enough time to escape while Temur crushed this army. However, Toqtamish could not rally another army, leaving his cities isolated before the might of Tamerlane. Tamerlane pursued Toqtamish, but upon losing him decided to prevent Toqtamish from ever having strength to raise another army again. He then set about systematically dismantling the economy of the Golden Horde, thoroughly sacking every single one of the major cities of the steppe; from the Crimea trade cities, where only Caffa, due to a timely bribe escaped judgment. Tana, Ukek, Sarai to Hajji Tarkhan and more all were brought to ruin on Tamerlane's order, left smoldering husks as his army moved past. Despite some popular claims, Moscow was not attacked; the Rus' chronicles indicate only the town of ‘Elets suffered the wrath of the Emir. He declared another of Urus Khan's sons, Quyurchuq as Khan, and was convinced by Edigü to grant him yarliq to collect and summon his peoples; but realized too late that Edigü had tricked him, and used Tamerlane's patent and the vacuum of power to carve out his own lands. By the summer of 1396, the steppe environment and some sort of epidemic was wreaking havoc on Tamerlane's troops, and he ordered the withdrawal to Samarkand, carrying with it the loot and treasures of the Golden Horde. The Horde's cities and trade had struggled through the upheavals of the fourteenth century, but Tamerlane had just delivered a death blow from which they would not recover. Toqtamish was not done yet. For the next ten years he continued to seek to reclaim his throne, but now faced a stiff opponent in the form of Edigü. Ridding himself of Tamerlane's puppet, Edigü reenthroned Temür Qutlugh, in time followed by a host of other puppets, and directed the effort to crush Toqtamish once and for all. But as a man well accustomed to defeat and bouncing back from it, Toqtamish proved remarkably hard to kill, and simply would not take “no” for an answer. The most notable effort came in 1399. After allying with Vytautas the Great, Grand Duke of Lithuania, the two launched a joint-invasion of the Golden Horde. At the Vorskla River in 1399, Edigü and Temür Qutlugh inflicted a crushing defeat on the army of Vytautas and Toqtamish. Many Lithuanian princes were killed, and the fleeing Duke was chased as far as Kyiv, where only after hefty ransom was the city and its refugees spared. The Toqtamish-Lithuanian alliance continued though, and Toqtamish's son Jalal al-Din fought alongside Vytautas at the famous battle of Grünwald, or Tannenburg, against the Teutonic Order in 1410. Today, the Lipka Tatars in Lithuania and Poland are their distant descendants. By 1405, the humbled Toqtamish was in Siberia, and reached out to his former mentor, Tamerlane. Tamerlane was then in the midst of a march on China, wintering in Otrar, and it seems his old heart was warmed by Toqtamish's offer of cooperation against Edigü. But nothing was to come of it; the old emir died that winter, and the next year Toqtamish fell in a skirmish against the forces of Edigü. So ended the life of Toqtamish Khan, the final powerful khan over the whole of the Golden Horde. Though not a truly transformative or administrative monarch, the fact he instilled any sort of stability over the Horde, and led a remarkable effort at unifying it before its final disintegration, left him a powerful legacy. In later Turkic histories Toqtamish is one of the most popular Jochid khans, and over the next century he was benchmark for others who wished to unify the Horde. In 1509, the Crimean Khan Mengli Giray, when sending a large army against Astrakhan during his own bid to reunify the Horde, is reported to have said “I shall be a Toqtamish.” And perhaps Toqtamish would have been successful, had he not faced Tamerlane in battle, perhaps the only man at the time with the strength to overcome the might of the Golden Horde. And for that, the Golden Horde paid dearly. Our next, and final episode on the Golden Horde, deals with its final disintegration, so be sure to subscribe to the Kings and Generals Podcast to follow.
