SLATE is at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac to let reservation holders and others 'Experience' the most innovative (and yet simplistic) Electric Vehicle in America. Line for non-reservation holders was NOT terrible. www.slate.auto/en/events @slateauto.bsky.social

Today I was behind a queen. She was driving her Estoril Blue E36 M3 top down on a stunning 72°F fall day. Attached is an A+ vanity plate. Worthy of worship.

1999 BMW M3, Estoril Blue, top down, in front of me less than an hour ago. The PA plate XCUSE M3 is affixed to its rear.

Did you know that they made an electric cube with 240 miles of range? Did you know they sold it in Canada? Did you know you can legally import it to the US if you ask Kia to write you a letter? :] #WeirdCarBS

We thought moving away from our Patriot that we'd need a hybrid and that then the next vehicle would be BEV. But honestly having microchip shortage force our hand to go full BEV was a blessing.

It's not all Jag news this week. The Renault E-Space concept is interesting. Right down to the reverse rake headlights, just like the original. But the first Espace had those for a reason...

I live in neither Japan nor Texas, yet this beautiful all-original Texas-plated JDM S150 Toyota Crown Royal Saloon Hardtop [pre-LCI, so 95-'97] appeared on my evening jog. I was appreciative.

We just got home from our 1st big road trip in the ‘26 Ioniq. No issues as usual, so many more chargers than 15 months ago. We were able to use Ionna more than half the time. Stopped at the Crazy 80’s museum in Dwight, IL, great collection and fun visit with David. 🧵 #weirdcarbs #evsky

On the bright side, our unplanned visit to the tire shop brought us by an incredible sight. Behold: at least a dozen Honda Z600s sitting by the side of the road in Rough and Ready, CA (yes, that’s a real place).

Please dig into it. We've always wondered how Bates Burgers and Greene's Hamburgers and apparently your picture have basically the same design and all seemed to be so independent.

We'll have to look at those again. We kind of like the panel balancing feature of the Emporia. Because with 2 BEVs at home on peak usage might be required occasionally.

Drove almost 400 miles full EV yesterday. Started less than 50% SOC (doh) and trusted Google to route us to our first DC charger. It was a surprise to see Electrify America at $0.40 kWh rate. For reason we still don't understand Google suggested a second charging stop to first destination.

ExxonMobil's Beaumont, TX refinery, the fourth largest by capacity (612kbpd) reported a process upset with flaring that lasted an hour. Limited downtime thankfully, unlikely to be a major issue but passing along.

The dream for us would be if our destination had a L2 charger. We'd have probably been there long enough to have had only a very short DC top off to get home. Maybe not even required.

Did you hear that global EV sales just beat gas-only cars? It indeed happened. I shouldn't be surprised that this godforsaken backwater burg of country wouldn't be a part of that. Well, it's happening regardless. The rest of the modern world moves forward while we sink into our own dark age.

Yes and no for home charging. We charge our personal BEV at home. But our current set up doesn't allow for a clean way to invoice charging costs for fleet BEV vehicle. Thanks partially to our shitty electric company that no longer offers separate meters. Just hoping we get it resolved for winter.

By the top off charge Google changed it's mind (we already knew we weren't going to stop). Found a Pilot on way home. *Almost* had enough to get home... If we were more disciplined we could have. Also if we could charge this vehicle at home (coming soon).

My car has informed me that next month it will not be speaking to my phone anymore, because the android OS is too old. Suck it, car. My phone still works fine and I'm not interested in replacing it.
