It's just as accurate sometimes.

That would be too much, right? Just checking. For a friend.

I got my charger replaced just a few minutes ago and look at the length of my new charger cable!! 😎 The solar panels are pumping 7 kW of sunshine into the car. I know it's old news now as everyone's getting solar but this will never cease to amaze me.

Heh

The action figure we need? 😂

Funny how you assume everyone has standards until you get into a press car and the equaliser had been set to this.

Found myself behind this little electric time capsule! Amazing how far we've come in just a few years. Shout out to those early EV adopters who lead the charge to get us where we are today. Pun fully intended. 😁

Internet trolls in real life be like

Doing battery Tetris to find the ideal shape and size but I reckon we've got the battery box plans sorted. Time to order some more bits and crack into it. We're so freaking close to having the Allegro take the full 403 volts. I'll take bets on how long before the CV joints turn to glitter. 😂

Purely anecdotal, but since I cut out ultra processed food and started eating gut bacteria-friendly stuff my mood's been pretty good.

Anyone else upvote random, unrelated posts on Reddit to throw off the algo? Just me? 😀

Is there an app that lets you aim your phone at a supermarket shelf and it highlights products from companies that align with your values?

Thank heavens megacorps today are kind and ethical.

Heh

These self-driving cars could use some fine-tuning... 😄

Heh. I can do like four things at the most in Linux terminal but it looks super hackery!

Driving in the USA explained in one picture.

Just learned that Linux has now reached around 5% of all desktop computer users globally, and it's accelerating. Curiously, one of the key reasons for the recent surge of people moving over is Windows 11! 😲

There's nothing like a cup of tea after a long day of filming, driving and troll blocking. Got a fair amount done today.

Let's see how long it takes to rapid charge this BYD Atto 2. These ChargeNet chargers can pump out up to 300 KW each but the car can only handle a fraction of that - especially seeing as I drove it pretty hard before charging so the batteries are still quite warm. 🥵🪫 Place your bets.

Beauty and the beast? But which is which? 😀 We made good progress this weekend with a plan for the Allegro EV conversion battery box. Time to put what's left of that US Treasury cheque to good use by shopping for aluminiuminiumium. The project should speed up now so stay tuned!

So many potential captions...

Finished the fascinating book 'Enshitification' by Cory Doctorow and learned that many smart TV brands now covertly (but legally) report exactly what you're watching, even if you only use your TV as a dumb HDMI display like I do. 😯 Disconnecting it from the Wi-Fi but am I just being paranoid?

Putting these new solid-state batteries from Donut Labs in the EV conversion. I mean, these are just as real. 😂

Convert an old British car to electric, they said. It'll be easy, they said! 😅

The BYD Atto 2 is charged up on cheap, clean, gluten-free sunshine, so logically I SHOULD take it to tackle the Allegro EV conversion, but... it would be a sin on a sunny day not to take the MG! And yes, it's carbon offset of course, so hopefully the trolls will have a day off for once. 😂

THE RESULTS ARE IN. To the delight of 12-year-olds everywhere, the BYD Atto 2 has a confirmed PSC of... 67

Okay.

Put the Leapmotor B10 through its paces in this review, and while the software could use some polishing, it’s got 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 than I expected, just like so many new Chinese cars. And yes, there are cheeky lols in there for your viewing… pleasure 😄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe65...

To give the trolls credit, they are doing their best today.

Whoever can accurately guess the PSC of the BYD Atto 2 wins a potassium-rich prize.

The movie 𝘉𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘐𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘥 has become real! 😂

There's a time-saving home.😄

Heh

Took me long enough, but I'm finally putting this new Chinese electric car through its paces in kiwi conditions. It's the Atto 2 and it's about as radical as custard, but it's certainly spacious and comfortable. Plus, being a BYD, it's got more toys than the adult film industry. Full review soon. 😎

Nothing to do with EVs but I found this to be a fascinating watch. Learned a lot and it's quite timely after all the cheeky snacks over the holidays. Might go have an apple now. 😅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4PF...

Somehow I've got Stonehenge all to myself! On my way to pick up a vehicle which I think will be a slow burn on YouTube. Great value, safe, and very well specced but perhaps not sex on wheels. 😄

Chinese innovation has reached crazy levels. This is a Yangwang U8 luxury, high performance, plug-in hybrid off-roader. I got to drive one in China and it's just out of this world. And while it 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 float, drivers are advised to take the car to a service center immediately for an automotive colonic.

Sometimes you gotta shake out those last few electrons.

Uhhhh... I think I'm dating someone. She's not on Bluesky so I think I'm safe in making awkward happy kiwi noises here. I'll be quiet now. 😅

Just seen the new solid state battery unveiled by Donut Lab and it's an industry changer. This is one to watch. The cells exist to buy TODAY. It's not tech trapped in a lab. Seriously, watch it all the way through. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-aP...

Drove to Auckland today purely to record 3 minutes of footage in the IM6. This is because my idiot producer completely forgot to include an important scene. I complained but they told me to get stuffed! A disgraceful, childish response, but I am that idiot producer, so... yeah.

Sorry China, the Germans are bringing buttons back! 😁 This is a picture of the dashboard of the upcoming, battery powered Volkswagen ID.Polo and it's got buttons for everything... sort of. No word on costs, so I'm expecting it to beat the Chinese in terms of buttons, buuuuut not price...

Heard this quote today and it made me chuckle: The internet now is just 5 websites with screenshots of the other 4.

Heh

Here's a sneaky clip of the Allegro moving under electric power (technically). Bob's on extension cord duty to stop me running over my own cable... again. 😅
