This car has been plugged in to a charger I’m near today since I got here at 8. It’s now nearly 1.
Impolite, or maybe the car is broken/the plug can’t be removed?

Today in the comments section I learned they’re taking the electrification of the G Class quite well.

If you still want to do ICE, then own it. Get something with at least six cylinders and a manual gearbox that runs on petrol and do it properly.
It’s laughable to see people who own diesels defend ICE. The tractor engine isn’t worth basing your personality around.

I’ve supported hybrids as a “batter than nothing” technology and a pathway to wean people off ICE. The perfect is the enemy of the good and so on.
But they truly are pathetic as cars. Still slow, still noisy, still beholden to the fossil fuel sellers.

Pretty good result. Turns out changing policies can change behaviour. But it also helps that London has a well developed public transport system.

But before I told it I wanted smooth and rounded it came up with this absolute banger of a design which I would totally buy!

Haha. I just asked Gencraft to come up with a generic medium electric SUV with smooth, rounded styling and I got this. Which isn’t bad.

This is a Geely EX5 but it could be anything.
It’s not very interesting. That doesn’t matter to people who buy this sort of car.
But it should terrify carmakers building similarly boring ICE SUVs whose customers are starting to look around. Game’s nearly over.

Just processing the casually racist undertone here. There are no Aussie cars anymore so your beloved “Aussie favourites” come from overseas anyway.
China is Australia’s biggest export destination, and they buy twice as much from us as we do from them. Twice.

This is a very good looking car indeed, the Xiaomi YU7. Definite Purosangue vibes but unlike that embarrassing brand diversion, I’d actually drive this one. Damn.

Walked out of a cafe today (because I’m bourgeois) and saw one of these, in this colour, at roughly this angle and damn it looked good.
So here’s the cheapest one for sale right now in AU.

My fellow Australians, we have reached the time of year where we ceremonially take down our Tesla interior glass sunshades and after seven or eight attempts, fold it back into its carry bag for next summer.

Apparently this car isn’t great. But it is cheap and available at low interest, so there’s that.

Today on the internet I learned that diseasels are the best daily drivers.
I scrolled a long way down the comments and did not find a single comment about. EVs, which are in fact the best daily drivers. Have they not heard of them?
