Unfortunately we had a slot for a 36” and the Copper Charlie I designed only comes as a 30”… and we have an old house with some special needs so this Bertazzoni was the best option for us. It does look nice though!

Glad to see the Taycan on there! Can’t wait for that Polestar 4 wagon to hit the streets!

🤣 I love that! I might need to borrow that one.

I’m glad we invested in solar panels, battery back up, EVs, electrifying our appliances, heat & hot water over the last 7 years & then cut the gas line to our house.

Every day the headlines underscore how important this to do if you can.

UPDATED Polestar 2 Upsets Supercars... on the Nürburgring! YouTube video by Misha Charoudin

For a sporty EV I would go with a Polestar 2, a Kia EV6 GTor an Ioniq 5N. youtu.be/tOgS46o2Pv8?...

Media Reports vs. Reality: Data Reveals Hybrid Cars Have Highest Fire Rates! Despite fears, data shows hybrid cars have the highest fire rates, while electric vehicles are statistically the safest.

How is the gas going from the pump into your hybrid with no electricity?

Good luck out there.

Same. BTW I just learned that a lot of Avis locations are doing free WV upgrades to get people into them. I got an Ioniq 5 for the price of a compact on my last 2 trips… then charged for free at my hotel!

I love reading posts like this! I felt the same when we got our first EV 3 years ago and the feeling just gets stronger with every international oil conflict.

I’d never go back to an oil burner.

by "worse cars" do he mean the Tesla Model Y competitors that charge faster, have industry standard features like car play, and have functional door handles? 🤔

Wowza. Definitely feeling better about going EV with every year that passes.

Kia EV2: The New King Of Affordable Electric Cars? YouTube video by Everything Electric CARS

The American companies just aren't as good at this as a the Korean brands who have never wavered. Great to see this Kia EV2: youtu.be/8CDCyq4KVis?...

I’m confused, are you rationalizing getting a swasticar?

I Took My GMC Sierra EV on a Real-World Towing Test, and It Hands Down Outperforms Any Gas or Diesel Truck on the Market This owner hauled 9,000 lbs with a Sierra EV through Nova Scotia and came back with range to spare. Here’s why their story might just shift how you think about what electric trucks are truly capable o...

EVs can tow. They have instant torque which makes them well suited to get heavy loads moving. Here is a test of a GMC electric pickup towing:

Yep. And all of that engineering opportunity cost got flushed either the Celestiq

Glad they made some updates. My point is if they kept up production instead of swapping out some old components and calling it a 2027 we could have had an actual new Bolt, clean sheet design.

Opportunity cost.

Glad they brought it back. Imagine if they had kept making & improving the Bolt that was selling really well instead of canceling it & making a $400,000 Cadillac EV no one asked for? We might be getting a clean sheet new Bolt instead of a slightly improved 10 year old model with a limited release. 🤷‍♂️

Same here! We cut the methane “natural” gas line to our house last year. Feels great to be done with that toxic explody stuff. #electrify #solar

The Best Alternatives to Every Tesla YouTube video by Auto Focus

Agreed. No reason to be buying a Tesla in 2026 with other options that charge faster, have more features, and better reliability… not to mention the ethical and political reasons not to buy them. We’ve got 2 non tesla EVs on this list:

I’ve been saying this for the last couple of years. Any car maker not investing in an EV transition of their product portfolio risks becoming a small, niche, regional player in the future.

I was barely holding back tears listening to this song, taking in the lyrics and melody, thinking of where we are as a nation right now, but when I read the first comment I really lost it.

Bruce Hornsby & The Range - The Way It Is (Video Version) YouTube video by BruceHornsbyVEVO

It’s 1986 & this song comes on the radio. “That just the way it is”, Bruce Hornsby. It feels like pop songs back then tried to teach you something? Nearly 40 years later the lyrics still hit

That’s just the way it is,
Some things will never change.
Don’t you believe them.
