Except don't forget that FF Inc chargers need to be boycotted completely !! They cannot be allowed to profit from the #ClimateEmergency that they caused themselves !!! #DriveEV but not with #FFInc

All the signs say we should've crashed already right ?? But it's still creaking along. Something strange is propping it all up and it can't last much longer ?? I know it will hurt, good knows 2008 hurry me v bad But I'm still hoping to be here when this system comes crashing down for good !!!

It was always just fud anyway How many ICE do you see at motorway services not filling with dinosaur juice? Just coffee and WC ??

This chase to the highest range is a lost cause isn't it ?? I've just driven from Burgundy to the German Alps with a caravan (halves the range) and we never once needed to sit and wait to charge. It was either coffee breaks, wee breaks or puppy dog breaks. Mostly all three together. #DriveEV

I think that if you watch a video you really should just click a Like!! Unless you thought it was bad ! The video entertained you, maybe only breifly, but a Like is a big deal for the maker. It's just YouTube etiquette imo

That presser was great today @zackpolanski.bsky.social . The speakers looked out of place at first but then they shone through each time More of this please @greenparty.org.uk Grown up politics and pushing @andyburnham.bsky.social to even more grown up politics. Bravo

This is real bad news as it showed us Legacy drivers that Tesla were still working hard I've just just had the AC compressor fail on my 2019 S (very expensive repair at 2000€) this really is a big problem they have overlooked. Old cars suffer from degraded cooling as a matter of life on the roads

Yep. Literally Free Petrol to put in the fires !! Whatever you can do Boycott FF Inc! #ClimateEmergency

Ian Mccusker @ianmcc-ev.bsky.social · 31/07/2026
Buy an #EV then simply Boycott FF Inc!! Even their EV chargers. Not a penny more to FF Inc #DriveEV ! #ClimateEmergency

Ian Mccusker @ianmcc-ev.bsky.social · 31/07/2026
Yes I read your article this morning. So so disappointing that the disasters of 2002 made you think that politicians might realise shit needs to change And obviously they just put their heads in the FF Inc trough and let the rest of us burn !!

The Renault thing is quite something actually. Mostly based on one model tho !! Don't know about you, but here in France I have seen more Renault 5s than any other EV (except Tesla obvs) And it's not even that good an EV !!

I've just seen the Trending on @bsky.app thing (had that happened today) I am so not interested in what people are interested in !! Mind you is it counted as "trending" if there are 77 posts ?? So I'm guessing this is paid for by BB marketing??

I'm pretty sure that it was already a thing for "defensive" raids ? I haven't seen this on UK news but it looks like it's being called "for the first time" but the first time since @andyburnham.bsky.social became PM?? The attacks have started ?

Ian Mccusker @ianmcc-ev.bsky.social · 22/07/2026
That's the bit @andyburnham.bsky.social is telling about when he says the Cons in the 80s sent the country in the wrong direction. Time to reverse all that somehow!!

So I stopped the #hyundai #Bluelink 100 quid a year subscription a month ago. It turns out it was 70 quid a year for 2 OTA updates that did nothing useful So now it's WiFi + USB! I started at 7.30 am and here I am at 2.45pm !! They are doing this deliberately snail pace right!?

Yep just sat here waiting for FSD 14 Lite in my Model S. I'd love to know if it only comes to paid FSD owners or if the update triggered the whole stack in all HW3 cars.

Ian Mccusker @ianmcc-ev.bsky.social · 21/07/2026
Hmmm, my legacy HW3 Model S over here in France is already on 2026.20.6.1 So does that mean there's another update release for it when it reaches the EU?

The 24 hour news cycle pundits were obviously talking utter crap for the last 120 hours. Zero evidence, zero checking sources, utter disaster!! When the Polling companies get shit this wrong they have an enquiry and change their procedures. What are the chances ??

I was thinking the same for going to Oz but then I've seen your Border Control so it's unlikely they'll let me in !! And spiders ! Such a good drive you did there tho. Congrats.

Well done Kangaroo Stan !! Epic trip, followed every day on YouTube but always a bit late as France is well behind !! 15 400km is crazy and probably impossible over here in Europe !! Congratulations. #DriveEV

I knew Donald Dump was doing a great job for #EVs but I've not seen this in France before Trouble is, when I got there alone I was getting 138kw. 5 minutes later I was getting 33kW. Shame @electra !

Ian Mccusker @ianmcc-ev.bsky.social · 12/07/2026
Being in Europe I'm running behind you Stan ! But for the 3 car charger thing : I did that earlier this year in France Anyone else managed to lead out 1 single charger ?? #DriveEV

Hang on hang on. Don't go dissing the Leaf !! My Gen 1 2017 30kWh is still on 11 of 12 bars and still pumping out 200km on 100% !! It seems that Nissan wanted the Leaf to show EVs wouldn't work, but so so many are stubbornly refused to fail !! #DriveEV

We have a huge network of 180kW chargers at McDonald's here in France and I use them more than any other CPO. They have coffee on tap and are actually the cheapest DC around : 0.35€/kWh !! Enjoy your coffee, #DriveEV

Unfortunately this is Fire season, we're in drought now (water bans) and the wine isn't looking great this year !! Europe is leading the way in the #ClimateEmergency with at least +2.5° !! Which I suppose is Karma as we started the world on this path. At least you and I are no longer fueling it !

I agree that the rolling hills and civilization is better than the outback but it was great to see the red dirt from the comfort of a very hot Burgundy!! Thank you and you look way too relaxed for such a huge drive !! Can you imagine the sweat of you did it in a stick shift dino juice guzzler !!

F1 is running sustainable fuel this year onwards and not crop fuel either. They can now make fuel with more kilo joules than petrol !! There are also strong rumours that BYD are looking at buying a team !!
