Glad to see Stellantis stay engaged in battery swap possibilities… It’s going to happen at scale in a passenger car eventually. How exactly? It will require a lot of tests like this. And, maybe, gas stations. www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/bus...

Is this also because of the way establishment Democrats are handling the NYC mayoral primary?

Just a reminder for everybody who's saying "the Democrats won't let Mamdani win" that the primary isn't until Tuesday, and we don't know who's going to win. It's a close race, and ranked choice voting makes the outcome even less predictable. Why are some people here assuming the worst in advance?

Since we're apparently turning the clock back to the 2000s when it comes to foreign policy, can Subaru bring this back?

The New York Times covers trans issues the way Fox News covers ICE protests. Both lead the country to believe there is a conflagration by highlighting a few fires over and over, while ignoring the fact that most people just want to live their lives without the government in their faces.

#OnThisDay in 2004, at Indy, Takuma Sato bagged his only #F1 podium finish (pic), 3rd for BAR-Honda behind the Ferraris of Michael Schumacher & Rubens Barrichello. Taku looks happy - but he’d have 2 even better days at the Brickyard 13 & 16 years later.

If I'd known I could get massive amounts of government money simply for blowing things up pointlessly but spectacularly, I'd have gone into a different industry.

Electric medium-duty trucks always made a lot of sense. They still do and would make a significant improvement for fleet running costs and air quality in congested areas. But EV and charging uncertainty, and a bunch of failed startups, makes me worried about their future heatmap.news/podcast/shif...

Because of [waves hands at the state of the world] there's been a bit of discussion about how difficult it is to sink oil tankers. As this account firmly approves of the empirical method, ie the boffin lingo for fucking around and finding out, let's look at an example. Meet Torrey Canyon.

One of F1's brightest talents, with an agreement in place to drive for Ferrari in 2012 until a rally crash left him with severe injuries. Today, he wins the Le Mans 24 Hours in a Ferrari. Robert Kubica 👏
