"One of the service reps told me, 'When you bought this car, you knew it was new, and you need to be patient with it.' And I asked him, we paid just under $90,000 for the car. Is Volvo going to be patient with my lease payments? He didn't have an answer to that." insideevs.com/news/773202/...

Gotta respect Honda of Fort Meyers. Normally, dealerships say something like "Market Adjustment." Branding it for what it is is at least being honest. www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfu...

Tesla influencers tried Elon Musk’s coast-to-coast self-driving, crashed before 60 miles

“The appetite for a less car-dominated community is here in the States.”

As close to a Canoo as we are going to get.

Would love to understand who drove these Bolt EUVs at a rate of essentially 100 miles a day. Not saying it isn't reasonable... Could be a daily commute for some people and plug in L2 overnight. But that is soul crushing no matter what vehicle is being driven.

I’m generally supportive of my friends car buying foolishness, but even I have my limits.

Poor Lou Bega lost 4 of his Mambo's #vanityplate

Y'all #weirdcarbs we saw the most authentic dailer driver Jeff Gordon Dupont Paint Jacket in the wild. It has to have been worn every single day since the 1990s. The faded colors were👌

turns out Tesla's Austin "robotaxis" have crashed three times already, apparently within the first ~7,000 miles of operation! two appear to be the Tesla getting hit, but one was clearly the Tesla hitting a stationary object, resulting in minor injuries not great!! www.forbes.com/sites/bradte...

If Costco and Sam's Club/Walmart for that matter could go ahead and get their shit together for metro Detroit charging that'd be great.

DON"T BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN. Use EV-rated outlets for your home Level 2 charger, not standard outlets.

“See an iMEV, post an iMEV” is the rule, right?

When do we get the USA oil lobby to create a loophole to import used ICE vehicles to keep the oil cartel in business?

Redditors are finding out that Teslas with ‘Friends of Coal’ plates are a thing in West Virginia. It's the only option if you want a black plate. reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/1nkk4tf/this_tesla_with_a_friends_of_coal_license_plate/

Proper $STLA Stellantis news.

Motown's auto-palooza is part Detroit Auto Show, part Dream Cruise, part cars 'n' coffee. The backdrop is the spectacular, restored train station.

Here’s one especially for you #weirdcarbs #carspotting

A proper Las Vegas Nevada #vanityplate on a Tesla. ZJ #BEERFEST if you have to ask you can't afford it.

EV fires, objectively, are bad. But people seem to forget that driving around with tens of gallons of flammable liquids is somehow safer.

Deliciously busted Fishbowl Taurus wagon out and about. 🤌 #weirdcarbs @bustedride.bsky.social

Hard to read, but we spotted an E-Transit today.

Would love to see how this does in modern Kwh/MI numbers. And what a modern battery pack could do for range.

"Wentzville GM plant having temporary layoffs, union says" www.firstalert4.com/2025/09/14/w... "the cause of the layoffs is parts availability" 🤔

A wild Toyota Classic parked at the Donki. Does someone actually just drive one of these around like a normal car?! #weirdcars

But all of the EV fires am I right? www.wsj.com/business/aut...

Detroit Electric spotted in Ann Arbor

Dinner time #bustedride

#bustedride for the 2020s.

Nice!

#bustedride time.

Spotted a @bustedride.bsky.social that surely has no rear shock towers left in it, since it barely has rear wheel arches left.

16 days later update. Is that we still have no update on the Blazer EV RS #bustedride status. We have however put more miles on the loaner Blazer EV than our actual one. 🙃

Seriously why is #engineswapdepot not around?

@haugejostein.bsky.social: "China now dominates global car production. Second place isn't even close. In 1998, China accounted for 1.4% of global car production. In 2023, China accounted for 38.4% of global car production." #alwaysbecharging

#itsvantime and #weirdcarbs in one.

Saw this Kia Forte #bustedride

We are increasingly coming around to the no rear window concept with the proliferation of trucks and SUVs that completely pollute your night time driving when they are tailgating and they are always tailgating.

The 2026 Nissan Leaf is exactly the electric car it needs to be. In 2011, the Leaf was the OG mass-market #EV, launched with 73 miles of range for $33,600. "15 years later, it’s reimagined as an SUV-styled tall hatch—with 300 miles of range + a price starting at $31,485." My review for @wired.com.

When you do a stop watch as to how long it takes to get affordable gasoline at a Costco or Sam's Club... It's not that different from DC fast charging an EV.

Major #weirdcarbs alert

Sounds like #bustedride territory to us.
