Its no longer offered, but I really liked the BMW 330e PHEV i had a few years ago on test.

A chart that shows how long it took some of the most popular EVs in the US to reach 20,000 units sold. Tesla's model Y did it in about 4 months. Rivian is planning to do it with the R2 in about 6. The full list: Ford Mustang Mach-E 8 Ford F-150 Lightning 10 Chevy Equinox EV 8 Chevy Blazer EV 16 Tesla Model 3 11 Kia EV6 11 Hyundai Ioniq 5 10 VW ID 4 13 Rivian R2 (Projected) 6 Tesla Model Y 4 Kia EV9 10 Honda Prologue 6 Original Chevy Bolt 11

NEW from me: Rivian said it plans to deliver between 20,000 and 25,000 R2 SUVs this year.

With sales expected to start in June, it'd be the 2nd-fastest EV launch in US history, behind Tesla's uber-successful Model Y and matching the heavily incentivized Prologue.

That's a huge jump for Mustang sales.

Yes, I've driven the eagerly awaited electric 2027 Chevrolet Bolt, the reboot of a car first launched for 2017.

No, I can't talk about it just yet; check back Monday. BUT, the starting price is $28,995 (*incl. destination*).

So, yeah, a $29K #EV with 250-plus miles of range, at Chevy dealers now.

Land Rover Defender looks and Suzuki Jimny attitude, Renault’s new 4x4 concept is tough but tiny! >> buff.ly/6aw9is9

Pretty sure the LS peaked here. This Flint Mica is amazing. Not sure I've ever seen it in person. Aside from the chrome wheels this is a fantastic spec. The super rare brown interior with this paint would be amazing.

New MacBook Neo is sick.

Well done.

Being it is now March and it is now 2026...I still cannot believe VinFast is here hanging on for dear life in the U.S. market.

A quick peep at the closest VinFast dealer near me, outside of Chicago, has a lot crowded full of 35 VF8s and nine VF9s, all of them marked down $10k.

Crazy.

A swath of rad Toyota things spotted in the parking lot at Brundage today.

Idaho has the coolest license plates.

So I rented a base Honda Odyssey off of Turo for our Idaho ski weekend and it's already proven itself to be an absolutely fantastic companion.

His name is Dave.

Minivans are the fucking best.

Winter getting shorter in 80% of major US cities, new data shows

Researchers find that across 195 US cities, winters are on average nine days shorter than they were in 1970-1997

Totally fair.

The west is wonderfully spectacular.

Can confirm: flying Southwest is now so much better and less stressful with assigned seating.

Dude I skied Loat Trail last February...absolutely *incredible*.

Get over to all the goodies off of Chair 4 if you can.

Cheers!

Also any friday in Wisconsin should be a federally recognized holiday because, Friday fish fry.
