Most people don’t know that the best-selling car in the world is the Tesla Model Y. And the second and third best-selling cars are much cheaper.
Tesla Model Y has been the world’s best-selling passenger vehicle for 3 consecutive years 2023 → #1 2024 → #1 2025 → #1 Model Y alone has surpassed 4 million global sales, while Tesla has now delivered more than 10 million vehicles worldwide Not just the best-selling EV Model Y beat every gas, hybrid and electric passenger vehicle worldwide for three straight years An electric car reaching this scale would have sounded impossible not long ago Now millions of Model Ys are on roads around the world

How does this work? This is Gauteng. DA has 35.73% which is higher than the ANC at 20.53% but ANC has more seats than DA?

"My ears are in the fridge." North West cattle farmer Donovan Marx (50), after being shot in the back (bullet through the kidney and out the stomach), stabbed in the leg, beaten, and having both ears hacked off and chopped into pieces by three balaclava-clad attackers on his Syferfontein farm near Ventersdorp on the morning of 28 October, was still conscious enough while lying in a pool of his own blood to tell the farm worker to put his severed ears in the fridge.​ When neighbouring farmers arrived and found him bloody in the house, he told them, “My ears are in the fridge.” Surgeons later could not save them. Part of his colon was also removed.

🚀🌌 Voyager 1 has left the Sun's protective bubble—the heliosphere—and is now traveling through interstellar space, over 25 billion km from Earth. Launched in 1977, it's the most distant human-made object ever. Yet even after nearly 50 years, it isn't close to another star. At its current speed, reaching the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, would take tens of thousands of years. A humbling reminder of both human curiosity and the unimaginable scale of the universe. ✨

We don’t have shoulder pads and helmets in our contact sports either 😉👊🏻
They do flyovers a little more dangerously in South Africa
