Porsche and Tesla’s perfect mixture for a fraction of its price

by

Xiaomi has revealed all the details of the new Xiaomi Su7 Ultra. He has done it with a presentation where he has revealed his superiority, on the role, in front of Tesla and Porsche in the flotation line of each of them. Although we already knew much of the details of the new Xiaomi Su7 Ultrathe sporty and extreme version From the Xiaomi electric car, there were still details to know how the interior or functions that have finally ended up being unveiled. The presentation has focused on presenting all the capabilities of the vehicle but, also, on launching a message to Porsche and Tesla. Xiaomi is here and has created the electric car faster and the one that has best autonomous driving, seemed to shout an event presented, of course, by Lei Jun. Missiles to the flotation line We already knew that the Xiaomi Su7 Ultra was fast. Very fast, in fact, because the company was recently made with the fastest turn in Nürburgring Nordschlife. A milestone in which they already showed that their electric car wanted to set the pattern from now on. And in his presentation in society, Xiaomi has confirmed that the ultra has taken another record to one of its greatest rivals. Now, the Shanghai circuit has a new king, with the Xiaomi Su7 ultra completing the turn in 2’09 “944, limiting in almost second and a half the record of the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, which signed 2’11” 28. The record serves Xiaomi to show off in front of the competition, showing a message on social networks of the Germans where they congratulate them for the registered time and encourage them to continue fighting face to face to obtain the best results. To get the best records, Xiaomi will have a car that is summarized in the following figures compared to the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Xiaomi Su7 Ultra Porsche Taycan Turbo GT 0 to 100 km/h 1.98 seconds 2.0 seconds 0 to 200 km/h 5.86 seconds 6.4 seconds Point speed 350 km/h 305 km/h power 1,526 hp 1,033 hp Motor torque 1,770 nm 1,240 nm Time in the Shanghai circuit 2’09 “944 2’11 “28 Price 629,900 Chinese yuan (82,937.30 euros) 1,998,000 Chinese yuan (263046.69 euros) The car also arrives with a huge amount of chucheías inside (unknown so far) and in other technical issues. For example, it has Pirelli P zero tires to get the best possible circuit performance and the battery floor is covered by a bullet resistant mineral plate. To demonstrate their effectiveness, in Xiaomi they have shown a video in which they see a sphere of this mineral from several floors of height and bounces on the ground without suffering a single scratch. In addition, a logo finished in 24 carat gold and carbon fiber is included, in the seats you can play with different colors of upholstery with yellow, black and red. In addition, they are electric and have massage function. In the same way, reference has been made to its infotainment system that stands out for its total compatibility with Harmonyos and a double wireless load for mobile phones at 50W. Outside they include rear and rear spoiler finished in carbon fiber to lighten the set and brakes are signed by Brembo and are carboceramic. All available colors have also been presented (yellow and white metallic green, silver and black payment). The black color has also surprised to be extremely dark. In the retransmission it gave the feeling of being deeper than usual. But, in addition, Xiaomi has challenged Tesla directly by demonstrating his autonomous driving systems. This part has begun with a video in which a car seeks for itself a battery parking inside a parking lot. During his journey he behaved with total naturalness, with very little robotized movements. In addition, I dodged people and other vehicles before parking completely. Subsequently, he has demonstrated the ability to maneuver for himself in a very narrow space, drawing the vehicle from an online parking lot where he barely had a few centimeters in front and behind. What has caught the attention, yes, is your system to detect that the driver is Stepped by mistake the accelerator pedal. With a arrested mule, it has accelerated thoroughly until it stops completely right in front of the obstacle despite the fact that the driver fully kept his foot in the accelerator. A system that is also launched if, for example, it detects that we are going to collide with a motorcycle or a column. All this due to a fraction of the price of Porsche Taycan Turbo GT or, in the worst case, with a departure price similar to that of the Tesla S Plaid. Because Xiaomi has confirmed two output prices: 814,900 Chinese yuan for reservations (107,285.66 euros) 529,900 Chinese yuan after the reserve period (69,763.98 euros) The reservation period is open until March 2 and implies depositing an amount of money to, in the next seven days, finish confirming the order or not. In addition, the possibility of entering this space has been opened to those who would have already commissioned an Xiaomi Su7 and would not have been delivered. Of the latter, of the first deliveries, Xiaomi has not confirmed when we will see them, so we will remain attentive.

Wallapop has been filled with Thermomix that cost 1,200 euros at half price (and almost all in perfect condition)

by

The new kitchen ally of Thermomix, The TM7 modelis now available for reservation in Spain. Is the successor of a Themomix TM6 that had been with us since 2019 and that I was already asking for renewal cycle. In addition to finding a home in the Spanish cuisine, the Thermomix has found another home: Wallapop. The sale platform is full of these devices and, although there is no unique reason, there are several suspects on the table of which we may not inform ourselves when buying a Thermomix. The Thermomix, Wallapop’s whim. 1259 euros. This is what it cost to buy a Thermomix TM6 in 2019. It is not an economic device, but it is a price that many are willing to pay to earn something that is even more than money: time. A look by Wallapop It lets us see many, many TM6. “It is sold due to lack of use” and “in perfect condition” is what is allowed to be seen. The average price is around 700 euros, just over half of what it cost in its day. Taking into account that the TM7 is priced at 1,549 euros, it is not a bad idea to get the previous model. As long as we know what we are buying, of course. The price does not end when you pay it. To the more than 1,000 euros that the device costs, we must add 60 euros of the payment subscription to Cookidoo. They are annual, but there are 60 euros. It is not mandatory and the Themomix works without it, but that easy access to recipes from the device’s own screen has this price can be an important deterrent. Its accessories are not forever. Like every kitchen apparatus, he suffers wear. Thermomix accessories They have to replace them with time, which adds new costs to the initial disbursement. Spatula, butterfly, glass base, blades, joints … The list of pieces that may need replacement Over time it is not small. Some of these pieces can be found on Amazon or Aliexpress for less than 10 euros, but prices on the official website are the following. Spatula: 16 euros Varoma tray: 15.90 euros Glass base: 16 euros Cestillo: 20 euros Knife game: 69 euros Together, between 3 and 9 euros It is a huge device. Practically we have ended a pot of excessive dimensions in the countertop. Thermomix, Airfryer, bread kneading … and the fate of many is oblivion in a drawer, or Wallapop. The Themomix has the peculiarity of being one of the kitchen devices that occupy the greatest volume. Specifically, 34.1 cm long, 32.6 cm wide and 36.6 deep. Vorwerk doesn’t care. Vorwerk’s numbers, a company after the Thermomix, They are quite healthy. The “culinary” division (Themomix/Bimby and Cookidoo) recorded record sales in 2023, entering 1.7 billion euros. While there is talk of a small fall in 2024, the group’s financial situation is solid and bullish. By 2025, the company wants to expand by international markets, relocating the current focus in Europe. Image | Vorwerk In Xataka | Best kitchen robots.

If you like ‘Yellowstone’, but you think it lacks some suspense and violence, in Disney+ you have a perfect alternative

by

More and more people are hooked to the cattle soap opera of ‘Yellowstone’, and their arrival in majority platforms such as Netflix and Prime Video It has a good part of the blame. However, There are many ways to focus contemporary westernand although it is perfect territory for the portraits of family sagas full of ambition and overflowing passions, gender also allows us to focus on action and suspense. This is the case of the extraordinary ‘Justified. Raylan’s law‘, which you can find in full, with its six seasons, in Disney+ and in Movistar Plus+. And although this neo Western has a decade, it has not lost an apex of intensity or interest. The reason: addictive writing, almost HARD BOILED Of its creator, Graham Yost, whom we owe the script of films such as ‘Speed’ and series such as the recent ‘Silo’, added to the overwhelming charism of its protagonist, Timothy Olyphant. Olyphant is a sheriff reallocated from Miami to a mining area, poor and rural, very close to the place where he was born. His expeditious methods make him an unpopular man among criminals, but also among his superiorsthat often do not approve of their methods. His return to action will lead him to meet his ex -wife, with his father who is in prison, and with his childhood friend, who has become a dangerous Nazi activist. The series is based on several books of the great Elmore Leonard, author of the novel on which ‘Jackie Brown’ of Tarantino and one of the great names of black and suspense literature was based. In 2023, Raylan returned in a new season of the series, ‘Wild City’, which lasted a season and you can also find complete In Disney+.

Porsche had been the perfect luxury car that triumphs in China. Until the Xiaomi Su7 arrived

by

The relationship between China, the European automobile industry and the evolution in its own manufacture of products is well observed in the future of historical brands such as Porsche and newcomers to the engine market, such as Xiaomi. The health of both companies cannot be more opposite to the same problem to solve: the electric car. Again, China seems to take the advantage. Porsche’s crisis. In just a few months, Porsche has gone from being the best asset of the Volkswagen Group to be in a specially delicate situation. His cars presented very high benefits, their Porsche Taycan (their first electric car) It had been a success In the early years and forecasts aimed to sell more and more cars at a more and more expensive price. Today, Porsche plans the dismissal of 1,900 employees. Their profit margins, which aspired to touch 20%, They will move between 10 and 12%. It is still a good figure but is behind the 14% that investors predicted. Its production will be closer to the 250,000 cars for next year than of the 310,000 produced in 2024. A perfect storm. Porsche’s financial weaknesses arrive at the worst moment. Donald Trump threatens to lift tariffs on European cars (which now pay 2.5%) and that is a serious problem for the company that has one of its main markets in the United States where, in addition, everything indicates that I could continue to cast its most profitable model for its combustion engines and its personalization possibilities: the Porsche 911. It would be another river in a river that lowers scrambled as a result of a very hard fall in sales in the Chinese market. The market has been threatening a storm for two years. In 2022 they sold 2% less cars there than the previous year. In 2023, the fall was already 15%. And in 2024 he went to 28%. A very hard setback in The first market in the world For the company. A paradigm shift. What has happened with Porsche is the faithful reflection of what has happened with the entire European automobile industry. Their cars are exquisite, they are well constructed, they have a story and a story. They are excellence and remain a demonstration of status. They are, in short, excellent machines. But none of this are worth them in China. The public, Thanks to huge subsidies To the purchase, he has made the leap to the electric car and now they expect something else. They aspire to a software defined product, with four wheels and a brain that drives thousands of intelligent and digital functions that provide an extra to daily paths. In just a couple of years, the German automobile industry, once a reference in Chinese luxury, has become an obsolete product. “It was only an electrified Porsche. That’s it,” said a Chinese client to Bloomberg to express its disappointment when you get on the Porsche Taycan and compare it with what your rivals are doing there. “I didn’t even think of a German”. The words are from Seaky He, known influencer in China, collected by The New York Times. “When choosing my new car, I didn’t even think about buying another German car,” he explained when pointing out why I had opted for a Xiaomi Su7 When his first car had been a Mercedes Clade in 2017. Then, German remained an example of a luxury vehicle. The remote parking or the control of the car temperature from the mobile phone were some of the digital incentives that helped Seaky to decide for the Xiaomi car. “It’s hard to see them like luxury cars now,” Ryan Xu said Bloomberg to justify why he had turned his back on Germany after having a Mercedes Cla and a Mercedes G Class. “They are indistinguishable in quality” All this we talked about now should know in Porsche. In fact, their own consultants claimed that Chinese cars have been “Indistinguishable in quality” of Europeans, an incentive when winning market in Europe and confirmation for the Chinese client that It is not being wrong. But, in addition, in the case of Xiaomi Su7, data on paper say that in a year they have lived up to Porsche and Tesla. Their engines are so powerful (or more) that those of these companies but have the advantage of offering systems Autonomous driving (supervised) more advanced and have offered surprising demonstrations of how their remote parking system behaves. One year of heart attack. Although Xiaomi has managed to read that the automobile market in China points in a very different direction than we knew in Europe, the truth is that its figures in just one year They have been especially good. When It was launched in April Of 2024, Xiaomi set the goal of reaching the 100,000 units produced from the Xiaomi SU7 for that year. In the last days of December exceeded 130,000 units That he had put the objective of recalculating his expectations, given the good reception among the public. The reason for success is evident: not only offers better benefits than a Porsche Taycan, also adds a layer of digitalization and automated functions that the German model is completely lacking. And all for a fraction of the price of German. While The Porsche Taycan cheaper It is sold for 918,000 yuan (more than 120,000 euros to direct change), the Xiaomi Su7 is in the market for 215,900 yuan in China (less than 28,000 euros to direct change).

Tesla faces a perfect storm and his actions are paying him expensive

by

We have been for 43 days of the year 2025 and Elon Musk has lived a roller coaster of emotions. In less than a month and a half he has confirmed that he is one of the strong men of the Donald Trump government, with controversial investiture included, and at the same time he has seen losing hundreds of millions of euros of his fortune. Tesla is very blamed. A collapse. Tesla ended the year 2024 asking for the time and the consequences have begun to be noticed in this 2025. On December 17 of last year, Tesla’s shares cost $ 479.86. Since then, the fall has been sustained, despite a small rebound a week later. However, Tesla’s actions have fallen until 328.50 euros at the time we write These lines. It is a collapse of more than 30%, devaluing the action almost 25% in what we have been. And the fall has been especially pronounced in what we have of the month of February. Less than two weeks ago, the action exceeded the barrier of 400 euros. What happened? The reasons being wielded to explain the fall They are many and varied But they can be summarized at some key points: Bad results of the company Elon Musk’s political slope The competition ads and, especially, by byd Bad results. The end of the year for Tesla was complicated. The company sought, by all means, to prevent the year 2024 from becoming the first year of “non -growth.” The company reduced prices, offered 0% financing and free recharges to try to carry sales figures above 2023 But he didn’t finish getting it. That has left an important hangover in its market. In 2025, the registrations have collapsed which indicates that they could have put in the commercial network more vehicles than those who now have to give out. In Stellantis they know well what we are talking about, with A crisis in United Statess for this reason that has ended with Carlos Tavares outside the address of the company. A 2025 that does not start well. In the first bars of 2025, Tesla sales have fallen very hard. It is still early to know what the company of Elon Musk will hold the year but in China, the company’s main market, They have fallen hard. Tesla has in Europe a good ceiller to continue exploding. However, Your sales In Germany (by volume, the main European market of the electric car) reflect falls of almost 60% in January. In France (second market) they have also exceeded that barrier and in more fragile markets such as Spanish, variation is even more striking with a 75%decrease. They are not good short -term perspectives. A Tesla Model and renewed. But more expensive and without solving the demands of the Chinese market. Local market customers are turning positions towards More technological and advanced models But, above all, towards brands that are able to evolve their cars very quickly. The paradigm shift is such that Catl has begun to invent the term of “Smart Electric Car”. Renew the image without offering large additions or new incentives at the software level, following the rhythms marked by the traditional automobile industry, may not be enough for Tesla in China. Elon Musk and politics. Position yourself as one of the strong men of Donald Trump’s government can serve Tesla to Accelerate plans To put on the streets the Tesla Cybercab and try to burn stages that to other manufacturers It has cost them years and billions of dollars. However, there are several aspects to take into account: A competition that squeezes. Although no one in Europe and the United States still does not offer the autonomy/price ratio of which the western manufacturers presume They are launching more and more products to the market to rival Elon Musk’s company. Maybe they are cars smaller or higher consumption But more and more vehicles are in prices of between 25,000 and 30,000 euros that, if you are aware of the needs of the home or the small discomforts they can have on long tripsthey are more than valid for the vast majority of the potential public. A bomb called “Eye of God”. Beyond European competition, a good part of its economic results are played in China. In that market you live in a continuous price war where Musk’s own company has participated for try to sweep competitors and leave them along the way. But Byd has launched a bomb: it will offer its autonomous (supervised) driving systems for free in all electric cars, be of the range that is. Its Byd Seagull, its best -selling model because it has a demolition price that to the direct change is below 10,000 euros, it will also have what The company calls “Eye of God”. I give it to you. The news is especially relevant because Tesla wanted to make automated driving one of her great incentives to sell her cars. But, above all, I thought it could be a new business to exploit with subscriptions and the purchase of functions at a price of thousands of euros. Giving this system, which is vitaminated with DeepseekByd has launched a missile to the Tesla flotation line invalidating the argument of its autopilot, which So much is costing them to work in ChinaIt is a differential value. The impact has been such that in the last five days the action of Tesla has fallen almost 60 euros and the decrease has been much more accused in the last two days. At the same time, Byd’s action has not stopped growing. In the last five days more than 20% has been fired and around 22% in what we have been in 2025.

This composition gives this Eau De Parfum an elegant, seductive aroma with a vibrant touch. That elegance can also be guessed from the design of its bottle, inspired by one of the key pieces in the brand’s fashion: the sash of the tuxedo. Besides, code It is rechargeable in all its versions. And now it comes in format set as a gift. Don’t miss it!

AND by Yves Saint Laurent is a modern juice formulated with some of the most classic ingredients of men’s perfumery such as patchouli, vetiver and cedar wood that, as hours pass, remain on the skin for hours. The bottle, designed by Suzanne Dalton, is dressed from top to bottom in a bold black lacquer that, more than a color, represents the statement of intent that is this powerful, addictive, woody, fresh and clean fragrance.

Angelby Thierry Mugler: a classic As great as he is in his field – it was the first perfume gourmand of the industry – has a huge following of loyal followers who have been using it for years and would not change it for any other. Its smell, different, is the result of a perfect blend of patchouli, praline, vanilla and Calabrian bergamotwhich gives it a unique personality, just as if it were a piece of clothing. Created by French couturier Thierry Mugler in 1992, the popularity of Angel has gone in crescendo until it became one of the most sought after fragrances in the world. But in addition to the fervor caused by its aroma, the iconic character of this fragrance goes beyond its olfactory essence. Its five-pointed star-shaped bottle was designed by Mugler himself and more than 1,000 tests carried out by the Brosse glass masters were necessary to … Read more

For Tarantino, there is only one trilogy that can be said to be “perfect.” Although it was not originally intended as such

by

Quentin Tarantino may be many things, but he certainly isn’t fooling anyone: neither ‘Star Wars’ nor ‘The Godfather’ are his favorite trilogies. It makes all the sense in the world that, watching his films (especially ‘Dyango Unchained’ or ‘The Hateful Eight’, but also ‘Inglourious Basterds’ or ‘Kill Bill’), the director has Sergio Leone’s Dollar Trilogy on an altarthe three films that completely reformulated the classic Western and launched it into a universe of ruthless characters and deadly environments. This is the trilogy composed of ‘For a handful of dollars‘ (in Movistar Plus+ and FlixOlé), ‘Death had a price‘ and ‘The good, the bad and the ugly’ (in FlixOlé). The international success of all of them generated an immense market for farms in Mediterranean countries such as Italy and Spain, which began to imitate them without any complexes, but their influence continues to this day. Today it is impossible to see a western that, voluntarily or not, does not have the imprint of Sergio Leone in its DNA. Tarantino said about her in an episode of the ‘Club Random’ podcast that did “what no other trilogy has been able to do. The first movie is great, but the second one is so good and takes the entire first idea onto such a large canvas that it nullifies that one. And then the third, ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’, does the same thing with the second, and that’s what never happens. You’ll see this big jump from first to second, but they never get to third. For example, ‘Mad Max 2’ is not overshadowed by ‘Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.’” The curious thing is that Leone did not conceive these three films as a trilogy: Clint Eastwood appears in all of them playing a similar character, a man with no name dressed in a poncho, but it is not clear if he is the same person in all of them. Other actors, such as Lee Van Cleef, appear in several or all of the films in the trilogy, giving life to openly different characters. But the box office success of the films was such that United Artist distributed them in the United States as if they were part of a trilogy, given their aesthetic and plot similarities.
