Saw a nice Polestar 1 plug in hybrid today. Obviously I’m not a fan of it being made in China. But a great looking car from the side profile

I’ve been longing for one since the Plaid was released back in 2021!

Unfortunately, a real estate investment I’m involved in (still hanging on, thankfully) is keeping me from replacing my current S.

I have to say, I'm seeing a ton of Porsche Taycan's on the road lately. Saw three this morning on my way to work

Cliff notes - ID.Buzz charging was horribly slow. Range suffers significantly in the cold. Non-Tesla charger are still a crapshoot

They did get to a station that gave the Buzz 157kWh at a 37% state of charge, but my poor charging Rivian will do ~200 at that SoC

Reviews coming in for the new Dodge Charger Daytona(that's the EV version).

Seems to be that it functions fine, but it's very heavy(almost 6k lbs), not as fast as it should be, and Dodge forgot to make it fun. Seems rushed to production. Priced pretty high for what you get as well.

That sucks especially the weight. Why didn't they put the effort into making an affordable SUV EV?
