What traditional automakers need to learn from Tesla:
The frunk is not just where you keep your chargers!
Extension cord? Doesn’t fit here. Windshield wiper fluid refill? Doesn’t fit here!
Small things I can live without of course, becoz fuck Elon.
But should give the brilliant designers that worked for him back then the credit. Hopefully they’ve left and gotten hired by less far-right companies.

Since taking office, #Trump has abandoned #US efforts to tackle #GlobalWarming. He also has moved to roll back virtually every federal policy aimed at curbing #GreenhouseGases from the burning of #oil, #gas & #coal. His admin has encouraged more production & use of #FossilFuels while stifling the growth of #CleanEnergy & #EVs.
That finding is the foundation of the federal government’s only tool to limit the #climate #pollution from vehicles, power plants & other industries that is dangerously heating the #planet.
The #EPA proposal, which is expected to be made public within days, also calls for rescinding limits on tailpipe #emissions that were designed to encourage automakers to build & sell more #EVs.

If you are wondering what vehicles are on my consideration list:
Most likely to get:
- Toyota bZ Woodland / Subaru Trailseeker (mostly for their more wagon proportions)
- Toyota bZ / Subaru Solterra (depends on the price gap between the Woodland/TS over the regular bZ/Solterra)
Considering, but gotchas:
- Hyundai Ioniq 5 / Kia EV6 (800 volt arch is nice, but given their issues that are still going on with it make it questionable for me)
- Honda Prologue / Acura ZDX (Ultium platform with CarPlay and Android Auto!, but vehicle is too large and clunky)
- Ford Mustang Mach E (Looks nice, I could maybe live with a giant tablet in the center, but those non-standard door handles!)
Pass:
- Anything Rivian (no CarPlay, no Android Auto, no effing way)
- Anything GM (same as Rivian, though there is the Honda Prologue loophole there)
Fuck, no!
- Anything Tesla (Need I say anything?)
Some aren't listed due to cost and/or form factor reasons.

@GreenFire we are starting to see EV chargers at supermarket chains in Australia. It is a game changer and has long been held up as the promise for ubiquitous charging infrastructure. This especially true when the huge roof space is used for solar generation.

Another strike against #hydrogen powered #cars as #Stellantis stops development. I’m consistently bewildered as to why this has ever been a thing, given the clear benefits of battery #EVs. The petrol brigade just seem to love stopping at places to fill up a tank (versus simply plugging in at home).

“Campaigners fighting plans to build what could become England's largest onshore wind farm have described the proposals as ‘environmental vandalism’.” Bloody NIMBYs. How are we supposed to charge our SUV EVs if we don’t destroy the countryside? #EVs #WindTurbines
