Can't even believe there were any hybrids with manuals.

Definitely the hardest wake up call for the Traditional luxury /performance OEMs especially as Electrifying these vehicles is easy to get crazy HP.

Why the US grid will end up paying for Iran’s aluminum strikes After putting tariffs on Canadian aluminum, the U.S. turned to Middle East imports. Now, the Iran war is creating a supply gap.

The supply chain disruption will have consequences for many global sectors — especially energy, where aluminum is used extensively for overhead power transmission lines, solar panel frames, wind turbine structures, and both utility-scale and EV batteries. 🔌💡

Texas Oil Pipes Are Running All-Out to Supply War-Driven Overseas Demand Texas oil pipelines are running above designed capacity in some cases amid rampant overseas demand for US crude to replace cargoes stranded by the Iran war.

I will be writing an overview of us oil and gas exports soon.

"The unprecedented foreign pull on US supplies could start to pinch the homegrown energy landscape as domestic fuelmakers increasingly find themselves competing with overseas refiners for barrels."

Not enough oil for everyone.

Lamborghini that when blacked out looks like any other basic boring SUV. But good news driver was constantly pumping the accelerator to pop the exhaust in case the normals didn't know this wasn't an Edge.

Can anyone explain the point of driving around in a #Lamborghini that when blacked out looks like any other basic boring SUV.

But good news driver was constantly pumping the accelerator to pop the exhaust in case the normals didn't know this wasn't an Edge.

#Michigan #vanityplate FA8: fate.

Yes, exactly.

We had the insight to hear how the minions of a probably unicorn manufacturer had to drive up the owners Escalade because it was "too old" for his southern states Country Club. But it was okay at the very "country" Country Club at home.

No they need that expiration to happen. That's how they sell new cars to the Golf Country Club class.

Want to be first in line to say have to drop that sedan sport wagon, that'll sell 15 units of.

QOTD: Have your driving habits changed recently given gas prices? We drive the i3 more often now, even for 40-50 mile round trips. Definitely more cognizant of combining errand trips into one.

Very much #bustedride territory.

May I offer another alternative to the spelling of Porsche @hoonofthe.day:

Looks like Waymos are now driving past stopped school buses in Nashville, as well as in Austin and Atlanta.

This has been happening for months, and it's been generating a ton of bad publicity. Waymo doesn't seem to know how to fix it.

Pretty sure we spotted a Volkswagen Type 181/182 being trailered... but feel free to correct us as we are not VW nerds #weirdcarbs

Automotif CXXXVIII... Seen in the parking lot on leaving The Gallery Pastry Shop after brunch yesterday morning: This gorgeous old thing...  It's a 1932 Cad...

That one time I stumbled across an ultra-rare 1932 Cadillac V16 Fleetwood Madame X sedan just out and about in the wild…

Given our Blazer EV struggles we've driven at least 5 Blazer EVs most of them lower trims than our official vehicle.

Kübelwagen! (Type 82) which was the real WWII military vehicle that inspired the Thing/181. They made a bunch but it’s very likely this is a replica made out of a Bug.

This photo may not look like much, but it’s very exciting— we are now able to charge our car on our 100% off-grid solar set-up.

So most of these airline tires are retreads. And they only last at best like 15 take offs and landings. And maybe even less than that iirc.

Another Excursion...

Kind of makes sense. Or perhaps it was bad all along and they replaced a battery pack with sub 800 miles for no reason?

We spotted a Manufacturer plated Maybach this week.

Y'all #weirdcarbs the Blazer EV might be unbusted.

We did over 300 miles in total.

Trip two was a secondary DC charger top off which got us to 70% SOC in 18-19 min, which was more than enough for our needs.

Other thoughts maybe for another thread we have major gripes with EV trip planning tools.
