It’ll be kind of sad if Marvel makes Man-Thing an important part of the Multiverse Saga in the MCU before the new Swamp Thing gets off the ground.

The big issue I have with the Solara is it looks REALLY unfortunate with the top up.

The thing is, most ICE vehicles idle so smoothly and quietly these days that I’m more likely to hear the noise of the tires rolling than the sound of the engine running when one is coming up behind me at low speed in a parking lot. EVs really aren’t that much more silent than a well-maintained four-cylinder economy…

In a related note, this week my wife got a shipment of Girl Scout Mint Chocolate Pretzels delivered during a week of above 90-degree temps here in the Seattle, and the chocolate in the pretzels had all melted and resolidified into a solid block of pretzel and chocolate. So these kind of temps in the delivery vans…

Yeah, but the majority of that would be soul-crushing interstate driving, so that takes a lot of the fun out of it for me, vs. my very favorite driving day ever where I did a loop of the Olympic Peninsula and stopped at Hurricane Ridge and The Hoh Rainforest to do some short hikes, and managed to time it just right so…

That’s not a road trip, that’s long-haul trucking.

I was looking at the new models, and what I find most disappointing is that if you want to get the blue color you have to get a white interior with a white steering wheel now on all the various models. That’s a huge step back from the previous model year when they only did the white steering wheel on the First…

Good thing they also sell an AWD version then.

If you are charging at home every night and using it around town the difference in range isn’t going to be an issue at all.

I’m looking forward to the $1.25 I’m probably going to get from the T-Mobile data breach class action that caused me to have to freeze my credit with all the reporting agencies because my driver’s license number, social security number, and other information needed to open up an account in my name got stolen and…

Reverse: This scene gets better with every passing year.

From everything I read hauling a trailer drops the range by about 50%, so generally around 100 miles of towing range is what I’ve seen if you have standard battery and about 150 miles if you have the extended range.

Also you can’t forget that there is a belligerent nation out there whose main exports are oil, gas, and shitposts on social media.

Does it have paddle shifters like my wife’s Turbo Beetle? If so, that could make up for the guy not being able to drive a manual transmission anymore.

Bold move calling their new EV a Blazer after the Bolt battery fire issues.

Yes, but you can’t just roll up to a J1772 Level 2 station at your hotel and plug in your Tesla without first getting an adapter out. It’s not a huge extra step, but some people might find it annoying to have to do.

From the look on his face, it seems like he switched the setting from “blow” to “suck”.

On the flip side, CCS does have the advantage of the connector natively supporting Level 3 fast charging and slower Level 2 AC charging with a single connector on the vehicle, so you don’t need to fuss with putting an adapter on a Level 2 charger if you are using one when you are on the go. It’s not a huge hassle, but…

There’s really only the Tesla chargers and the CCS chargers, and that is mainly because the Tesla chargers came out before the CCS standard was finalized. Pretty much every new non-Tesla EV you see is using CCS, outside of the Nissan Leafs that still have the CHAdeMO connectors. It’s basically just like the Lightning…

Uh, have you seen the prices on the used ones that don’t qualify for the tax credits?
