RE: https://www.threads.com/@carbrochureaddict/post/DWO9ubKiPvb Perhaps the only car in history with a trunk hatch that opens by… sliding down? #weirdcarmastodon

Have a car but want more space? Just swap the trunk lid. Such an odd idea I cant believe 3 companies have tried it. #weirdcarmastodon

I can't help but feel really sad. The Tesla that I babied for so many years is sitting in some auction lot, covered in grime. I can see all the little things that I installed myself: the wrapping, the wheel cover, the spoiler, the rims… If the internet is to be believed, it just sold for a […]

✈️ An abandoned British Airways Training Centre, England. This sprawling site is now disused, surplus to requirements, and outdated. At the heart of the complex is this Safety and Emergency Procedures (SEP) area. For training cabin crew, these Boeing 737 and […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Just saw an Airbus Beluga flying overhead. I was so star struck that I could not even get pictures. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_Beluga

So “F1: The Movie” was disappointing in the most expected ways. Of course an F1 movie would not be about racing and raw speed, but about getting points through obscure technicalities and the internal politics of capital funds. #film

I will believe the Tesla Roadster when I see it. As of right now, Tesla essentially sells two versions of the same car (the 3 and the Y) and also offers a “halo truck” that has aged like milk and has already been sold to anyone who wanted one. Unless the Roadster changes drastically, offering […]

Legacy pollution...The site of this gas station in 1934 is still vacant, probably because of old leaky storage tanks nobody wants to clean up. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/01/30/from-the-archives-full-service/ https://maps.app.goo.gl/ysK4yn6s7zSKjiyJ8

I need to do some EV charging venting. I can hardly tolerate that some EV charging networks require their app to use the stations. OK, you do you. But what I cannot understand to save my life is that those apps are more often than not restricted to the App Store from the country in question […]

Cybertruck sales dropped almost 50% in 2025. And this was interesting to see because I was just wondering today if Tesla even made the Model S anymore. Apparently yes.

Today I learned about the Pegaso Z-902, nicknamed “bacalao” (cod fish). It was made to transport the legendary Pegaso race cars, and just a single one was ever produced. #weirdcarmastodon

It is so infuriating that Musk decided to put all the eggs in the basket of performative trolling with the Cybertruck, at a time when Tesla had a shot at reshaping the pickup truck market. #evs https://www.jalopnik.com/2080471/tesla-cybertruck-sales-half-2025/

@mathowie peak f-150 was the mid 1970s, and I’m not joking. My dad had one, and used it until the early aughts.

One of those great things that Tesla came up with and discontinued for no good reason at all. My Model S was a “remanufactued” unit from that program, and it was better than new. #evs https://mastodon.online/@electrek/115724521064172237

Just picked up the ‘16 Chevy Bolt that I will be driving for the next few days. To my dismay, the battery was at 0% of charge. The owner says that they don’t even have a place to plug it. 😢 Currently feeding it the first meal of electrons in… maybe years? We’ll see.

A car is just a mobile podcast listening studio on wheels.

I ran into an old Chrysler brochure advertising their bright EV future… in 2008. “First Chrysler electric vehicle to be produced in 2010, three additional models in production by 2013.” Yep, no reason to distrust automakers… #ev

Wow! They did keep the Bolt looks. AWESOME! https://electrek.co/2025/09/30/new-chevy-bolt-seen-charging-at-tesla-supercharger-in-la-a-week-before-reveal/

How did this guy from the Madison Fire Department ended up rusting away in some backyard in Los Angeles? #weirdcarmastodon

ICE cars waste ~80% of fuel as heat, noise & friction. 🔥 EVs flip the script: electricity flows straight to the drivetrain, no messy conversions. With regen, 87–91% of energy drives the wheels. ⚡ That’s 3–5× more efficient, cheaper to run & cleaner for the planet. 🚗🔋🌍 #EV #Efficiency #Future #LFP

This is going to be my chariot for the next few days. A last year Nissan Leaf. So far I am pleasantly surprised! Range is a trade about 200 miles and it feels quite nicely screwed together. Not at all the penalty box I was expecting!

The Spanish city of Cuenca is not afraid of no Land Rover lawyers.

Totally forgot that for a brief period of time, there was a European version of the Ford Explorer.

Well, this stitch on cover was a lemon. It seems to have been manufactured with the precision and craft of a thousand baboons on Red Bull. Still, it feels so much nicer to the touch…

This is one of those mind blowing facts that changes your understanding of reality: Blue did not exist until we gave it a name. The sea was green and the sky was just… clear emptiness. https://toot.community/@openculture/115012803970385087

I did it. I bought the foldable trolley cart that originally came with the Xsara Picasso. I had it shipped all the way from England. It is official, I am mentally unable to just own a beater car.

Pretty please! https://www.jalopnik.com/1916121/renault-design-boss-says-sexy-mpvs-could-return/

Our little #bmw i3 made it across the world and is now ready for the most daunting leg of the journey: bureaucracy!

Kind of ironic that after begrudgingly buying an ICE winter beater, the issue that we found is… a leaky gas tank. 🙄 So we are parking it outside like it is a pre recall Chevy Bolt.

Why did they go with a capital S? https://bird.makeup/users/autocar/statuses/1944019107139011011

What do you do after buying a winter beater? Well, of course, seriously consider buying a pricey, obscure OEM accessory that you will most likely never need or use… https://ebay.us/m/z2FlE5

Our little BMW i3 made all the way across the Atlantic and is currently in Morocco!
