@ZeKik @serichards #AlpineA110 is one of the few newer cars that interests me - in spite of not coming with a manual.
Comparing to a Corvette C8 on price and/or performance? Does not compute! It's like saying you shouldn't buy a Civic Type R because a Jeep Wrangler is cheaper (or whatever flawed automotive analogy you want to use).
We didn't get this car in Canada. When the 15 year rule passes there might be one in my collection shortly thereafter!

Just following up on my recent discussion about #EVChargingApp choices in Europe.
#ZapMap describes itself in the App Store as a 🇬🇧 charging app, so I haven’t loaded that one for a trip to 🇫🇷.
I have loaded #ABRP so I’m checking that out.
Finally, #ChargeMap. This one requires a free registration to see much, so I’m going to do that.
I’ll only be renting for three days, and I’ll be busy, so we’ll see how much information I can share.

I can't recall the last time I used the #ecobee app. I do any temperature adjustments through #homeassistant.

@ZeKik I was a nobody on Twitter outside of the political gambling world. It;'s kind of weird having 300 some odd followers. I have a bit more pressure about not spamming boring shit. The nice thing about Mastodon is it's more about medium sized accounts than big accounts.
I would take 300 followers over 3,000-30,000 followers anyd ay. A lot of the major #weirdcartwitter accounts had to deal with so much bullshit. -
@ZeKik @chromblitzen
I saw this particularly well preserved #Fiat 600 #Multipla in South America a few months ago. A fine example, clearly well-driven! -
The #SoulEV is on Pirelli CINTURATO ALL SEASON SF 3 which have fantastic feel in all conditions. This IS probably why I love driving it so much. Very confidence inspiring.
And the #e_Niro is on oe spec Nexen (only because they were 1000 miles old when I bought the car) which I don’t trust in any conditions, but especially so in cold damp conditions 😬👍

@serichards @ZeKik the widely available adapters solve and actually speed up charging on “normal” fast chargers so solve the Chademo problem
Not encountered the braking on rough surfaces problem myself. It’s far more consistent than the #e_Niro. My only real complaint is the over active traction control that just cuts power completely for what seems like an eternity (when pulling out of junctions) rather than modulating it like modern systems. Perhaps they changed things for the later cars?
-
@serichards @ZeKik I’d absolutely not want a BEV without fast charging.
First gen #SoulEV are pocket money cheap here and would probably exceed your requirements if ya can live with its looks.
It got CarPay for the 2018 30kWh battery update. It’s an absolute hoot to thrash about in, it’s much slower and softer but more comfortable and predictable than the i3s. Ours still has 6 months warranty remaining. It’s a keep until it dies car.Is the #e_Niro too expensive?
-
@Mark @ZeKik #e_Niro has this… I’ll let you know how engaging it is after I learn how to use it 🤣
Honestly you can’t enjoy driving on the roads (safely) any more than I do absolutely driving to the limits of the #SoulEV now it’s got top notch non eco chasing Pirelli CINTURATO™ ALL SEASON SF 3 on it.
They are the first upgrade I’m gonna do with the Niro -
@SteveInVentura @ZeKik I'd trade in my #iD4Pro lease for a #EV6 lease on those terms if I could.😊

@John @dan @DenOfEarth @ZeKik @MarSolRivas I’d never encountered Robertson square heads before the #Roadtrek
I find they are brilliant
Even when well corroded (the head will snap off before it strips the head) and it’s so easy to hold the screw on the driver to position and line up the screw one handed 👍 -
@DenOfEarth @Mark: Missed it, too, as it had no hashtag, especially not #WeirdCarMastodon. I'm adding the condition to not have to think about climate consequences as otherwise it's no fun…

Hello Mastodon #WeirdCar people.
I went to the UPS store today, and a very nice young man — polite, well-dressed and well spoken — accosted me, and asked “is that a Mercedes-Benz with a Tesla drivetrain?”.
Well yes! Why yes it is!
“Those are super rare!”
Why yes! Yes they are! About 3,500 sold in all of the USA, or something like that.
We chatted for a few minutes, and it was lovely.

@Tiezep I think it’s quite straightforward. Probably not very expensive. Fortunately, for these engines that are basically from the 1950’s or 1960’s, so many have been sold in various iterations that part availability is not usually a problem.
The engine is virtually indestructible if maintained.
The membrane that eventually leaks (after 31 years in this case) is just a piece of silicone or rubber housed inside the component shown.

The 01/1994 K1500 was in for SMOG testing. Sadly, it failed because of the 31 year old EGR valve, so it will need a repair and retest. 😞
Under the hood, we discovered the neighborhood squirrels had been busy eating the sound deadener and having a little feast on top of the engine. Fortunately, no chewed wires or pipes. 😮💨

Just popping in to share this with you #WeirdCar #ClassicCar #FordMustang aficionados… I didn’t have time to get different angles, but you can see that there’s also an interesting vehicle on the lift, and a #BMW2002 in the bay that’s partially hidden by the Mustang.

@autonerdery I love it, although, for moi personally:
. The outside color is not my preferred.
. The inside material is not my preferred.
. The mileage is a bit on the high side.The high mileage is nothing to these, even in gasoline guise, if properly maintained, but it just adds an element of uncertainty that takes it outside of my comfort zone.

@chromblitzen Three delectable Peugeots and a ??? 🤷♂️

@SteveInVentura @vinc @DenOfEarth I just noticed from linking to that article that:
“BMW sold more EVs in 2024 than Audi and Mercedes-Benz combined”
I don’t think it will matter to me if the design is shared. What will matter is how much they improve their battery technology, as promised, and driving dynamics.

You will find the winged seahorse elsewhere on Air France.
-
And the answer is…
1) Air France
2) Airbus A220
The winglet is specific to that aircraft, and the winged seahorse is an historic logo from Air Orient which merged to create Air France in 1933.
The other merger partners included Société Générale des Transports Aériens, founded in 1905.
Shown below are the (wonderful, in my opinion) original logos.
