Every American needs to watch this:

That’s incredible! 😳 Congrats!!

I for one would expect more than “hours” spent on aero efficiency. 🙃 I’d be more forgiving if you hadn’t just killed the best F-150 ever made. ⚡️💔

Great to see the EV incentives back. Looking forward to learning more about the charging infrastructure plans and the (hopefully) upcoming grid expansion.

Very cool seeing batteries last so long at such a massive scale.

Good morning with good news: EV sales in China, for the first time, were greater than ICE autos in 2025, an historic milestone.

Sales of ICE autos fell for the eighth straight year and are back to their 2010 level! Wow!

When will China, world's largest auto market, be another Norway?

GEORGE LAKOFF'S TRUTH SANDWICH ALWAYS FRAME THE TRUTH FIRST. INDICATE THE LIE AND THE FACT THAT IT'S A LIE. RETURN IMMEDIATELY TO THE TRUTH. RUTH MUST ALWAYS BE REPEATED MORE THAN THE LIE

A reminder!

George Lakoff came up with the 'truth sandwich' concept during Trump's first term. It's not magic but it's good basic information hygiene and should be the default when fighting against bullshit

Excellent 🧵

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Thank you. 🙏💔😡

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

Sigen is incredible.

Reading this after the post about “who needs” larger car batteries, I forgot all about V2X. Having batteries big enough to power your whole house, even after returning from a trip is mind blowing. Yes larger means higher costs & greater weight, but damn are they nice to have.

Plus ideally I’d be able to do this starting at 80% charge and have 10% upon return to maximize battery longevity, optimize charging speeds, and reduce anxiety.

Certainly a luxury. But I for one love how the old weakness of EVs is starting to turn into one of their greatest strengths.

Need is a strong word, but I want 810km+ range. This is usually WLTP and lose ~20% for the more realistic EPA. Take off another 10% for cold 🇨🇦 winters and 15% for non-eco driving behaviour, and I need to charge mid-trip for anything less. Certainly doable, but I can do solar-only otherwise.

It’s what, a 22kWh battery? J1772 plenty for that. The bigger issue of laziness is Toyota selling a hybrid in 2026 given today’s battery tech. Really wish Toyota would step up their game.

My solar setup continues to impress. The panels are covered by over 6” of snow on a cloudy day, and they are still producing over half of my daytime load. Can’t charge the batteries, but they have plenty of juice to make it to midnight when they’ll recharge @ 3¢ / kWh using excess grid energy.

If Trump or Vance or Musk do something that seems completely irrational to you, ask yourself “is this getting them more attention?”

If the answer is “yes” then actually it makes perfect sense.

And the answer will always be yes.

Gorgeous looking vehicle. I hope Twig loves it.

@zamafir.bsky.social Any idea how to verify my (potential) 2026 Ioniq 9 uses CATL batteries? Can I verify something in the VIN or something?

Jealous! Enjoy.

Really excited to hear you’re creating this! Preaching to the choir of course but we’re also getting more efficient w/ silver required per panel, which is highly recyclable, plus old school ICE needs PGMs for catalytic converters and cobalt for oil refineries in addition to digging up the oil.

Upon further reflection I considered the ICE equivalent. You’d be lucky to having a working engine after 200,000km. You’d be thrilled if your ICE engine performed at 90% efficiency after 2MM km. Absolutely unbelievable how quickly the Achilles’ heel of EVs has become their strength.

I meant to follow up earlier: how did the snowy day end generation wise? Mine was 25.7kW, albeit the sun came out late in the day and melted most of the snow away. Still, at least half that was generated while covered in snow, and cloudy, which fascinates me.

Can confirm this is an excellent post all the way to the end. I like that he starts with the maintainability and convenience benefits.

CATL is exceptional. No doubt you should buy them if you can. But 350km after 2 million km is nothing to sneeze at. Modern batteries are simply marvellous!

There is nothing inherently wrong with the Earth 400k years ago. The problem is that humans evolved to live in the climate we have today, and we built our infrastructure for today's climate. The same goes for the animals and plants that we love and love to eat. Climate change is pain for everyone.
