This weekend I will be mostly driving the Porsche Macan in Gentian Blue.

Over the next few days I'll be mostly driving the new Tesla Model Y. What would you like to know about the car? Full written and video review coming to Nevo.

Range anxiety? Not me!

This was actually deliberate. The BYD Seal owner's manual recommends occasionally running the battery down to < 10% then charging uninterrupted up to 100%. The purpose of this is to allow the battery management system to recalibrate, ensuring that its estimates of available charge remaining will remain accurate as the battery ages. The manual recommends doing this every 3-6 months if the car is being driven daily, though the change in battery capacity over that time should be minimal.

No #ElectricCar runs on open source software!

But we can all agree that #Tesla is the worst!

The newest EV fast charging hubs on the Island of Ireland. Fastned in Banbridge between Belfast and Dublin.

I hate ev chargers that put a hold charge on your card in this realm

There's a Nissan charger that does it for $25

Then electrify America ones that do it for $50

Literally all ev charging costs for our leaf is at most 9 or 10usd most of the period it's 5usd

Its a punishment for those who can't afford much

A working from home day with clear skies means I get to charge the car from spare solar power for free(ish).

Ciao from the global premiere of the new all-electric CLA from Mercedes-Benz AG in Rome. Video coming soon.

OK, well, I guess we'll be finding out how well our car works as a backup mains power supply.

Our BYD Seal came with a Vehicle To Load (V2L) adaptor, which takes the form of a short-ish mains cable with a Type 2 plug on one end and a power board with two 10A Australian mains outlets on the other. To go with that I already have a 30 metre long extra heavy duty extension lead, and a weatherproof power board enclosure. With our car parked in our driveway at the front of our house I can plug the V2L adaptor into the car, plug the extension lead into the adaptor, protect the junction from rain with the enclosure, and run the extension lead through to the back of our house where our fridge freezer is.

The fridge freezer is the thing I most want to keep powered, but Wednesdays are usually a working from home day for me so I might also try to keep the internet and our working-from-home monitor, etc. running too.

I'm currently wondering whether I want to get a second long extension lead so I can use both outlets on the V2L adaptor and make it a bit easier for me to get power to where I want it without resorting to daisy-chaining multiple power boards and extension leads.

I recently got a Chevy Bolt, thinking I didn't need to drive more than 90 miles any one direction.

welp, I maybe probably need to drive 120 miles one direction for an important volunteer thing.

#electricCar folks - i see all the places to search for chargers, but I would like some advice on the social norms around using chargers.

I am anxious and would probably ... get a coffee and then sit by my car for 30-45 minutes?

what stops people from just unplugging your car for giggles?

This week I will be mostly driving the Hyundai Inster. What would you like to know and I'll add it to the video at the weekend.

As #MelonHusk #SiegHeils up a war on US #GOV employees and departmental missions, his #ElectricCar company share price has been tanking. Tesla's downward spiraling stock price hit lowest point since last #DJT term, as shares have dropped ~28% in February alone.

Overall recent data from late last month showed overall drop in market valuation far exceeds overall Nasdaq avg which was down just 1.5%

CEO's petulant and polarizing presence, #Drumpf import #tariffs, slower sale$ (especially in #EU) and public's steadily sinking sentiment sink #shareprice of once high flying e-car maker.
