I’ve had my Audi Q4 E-Tron for about 3 months now and so far it’s a solid vehicle! It’s been a good replacement for my Tesla Model Y.
Asked my wife if she wanted to buy a Volvo XC90 PHEV like her friend just got.

Now this is quite the improvement over my previous Tesla mobile connector that maxed out at 32amps and often derated!
Installed in a different location that makes it much easier to use as well.

I hope someday Apple fixes the inconsistency when using Siri. Asked a question while driving via CarPlay and Siri states that it can’t show me the answer while driving. Well then what’s the point when I could just Google it on my phone?

Am I alone in thinking that vehicles should have a driver display?
I say this as someone that owned a Tesla Model 3 and Model Y.

Had my 2024 Q4 E-Tron that I bought used for about 4 months and 5,000 miles and it’s been perfect!
My previous two Teslas would have already been in the shop.

I got my first ev in 2016, it was a 40kwh Nissan Leaf. The range was only about 100 miles but it did exactly what I needed it to do about 95% of the time. I even took it on a road trip to Austin a few times.
When did you go electric? What was your first car?

When the #Rivian launches the R2 next year it will become the number 1 selling EV in the U.S.
I stopped by my Tesla service center yesterday to check out the refreshed Model Y, it’s just not good enough. It’s a good vehicle don’t get me wrong but i was hoping for a lot more.

Denmark just flew 5 people over 300 km in an all-electric plane—in under an hour. ⚡✈️ It recharged in 30 mins and emitted zero CO₂. It’s not just a test—it’s step one in Denmark’s bold plan: 100% fossil-free domestic flights by 2030. The skies are changing. #ElectricFlight #Denmark #EVaviation #EVTOL
The future of flight? First electric aeroplane lands in Denmark
The plane can be charged using a standard fast charger for electric cars in just 20 to 40 minutes, the company says. Experts say airports will need to gradually expand charging infrastructures for electric aircraft.

What driving range is needed for electric vehicles to go main stream?
Do you think the current vehicle driving range offered on the market is enough?

I sure hope @itskyleconner.bsky.social and @brandenflasch.bsky.social come back to the platform. I miss their content from Twitter!
