cars

[viscid atlas]

ye they want a small car, and the mx-5 is the coolest cheaper small car i know so

especially cabrio/RF versions

[stoic ledge]

I think the Fiat/Abarth version is cooler 😛

I like the design more

• turbocharged 1.4

[vocal mural]

Abarth 500 is indeed nice

[stoic ledge]

I meant the Fiat/Abarth Spider but sure 😛

[brittle totem]

Yeah the Abarth 595 is really fun car to drive and its affordable of what it is specially in the Competizione version/trim ?

[final nacelle]

Sorry car purists, but had a really comfortable road trip with the EV to the south of France ;)

[sudden pecan]

[viscid atlas]

it is, but its considerably more expensive here

[tepid wing]

Car purists?

[dense shard]

Dunno what that is.

I just enjoy driving.

[dry pine]

People who dislike electric

[tepid wing]

But they are still cars, if anything a purist should like them for their different drivetrains and such.

How was it did you have any range anixity i have heard that alot of tesla owners has done some road trips to South of europé from sweden. But how is it for none tesla owners? It must be a alot easier know when the tesla nerwork is Open for all evs with ccs support here in europé ?

[brittle totem]

Which car did you use was it the id3 or id4 that we saw in the pictures ?

[stoic ledge]

Hmm only slightly here... but apparently it got discontinued 2 years ago? Didn't know that

[stoic ledge]

That's an ID.4

[brittle totem]

Put in the first picture it was an id3.

[wraith rivet]

prolly wasn’t their car someone next to them

[stoic ledge]

Ah yeah that looks like a car parked next to them

[hoary pine]

If you don't need to do a 800km a day forced march you don't really have to worry.
The catch is you will need to plan you breaks/meals/nights at chargers, so you will have less freedom to stop at random places.

[stoic ledge]

France doesn't have the most reliable network tho, friend of mine went to Cannes with an ë-C4 but had multiple chargers failing on him

[final nacelle]

It was an id.4 77 kWh. No range anxiety after the 2 first stops actually, used ionity chargers on the way, so fully charged in 30mins. Had to stop every 2.5 hrs, so pretty much @ the same time I actually needed a stop.

[brittle totem]

Eas the inbuild navigation good enough to find the right chargers or did you need to use a better route planer ? That is one of the biggest down sides of a non tesla car that they are usally awful on finding chargers at it own. This is a big thing for People that are coming from non evs that the sat nav need to be good enough to find the optimal routes and it own so you dont need to plane yourself or use a 3rd party navigation app.

thoughts on the kia ev6?

[fathom socket]

Is blinker fluid and piston return springs just an American joke thing?

I was just so confused because the 2nd one makes 0 sense

[pearl tiger]

Blinker fluid doesn't make sense either

[hoary pine]

Blinker fluid is a joke, usually in conjunction with people that don't use blinker.

Stereotype jokes like luxury cars are more likely have failed blinker because they need to replace blinker fluid more often.

[final nacelle]

The inbuilt navigation could be good enough but calculated an extra stop, however, I used the “pump” app, which was very good, only on iPhone though…

[final nacelle]

I came across a few on them on my trip, it charges extreeeeemely fast, pretty good car for what I know

[pine sequoia]

thx

[pearl tiger]

In Germany we got the bucket of compressed air

[hoary pine]

Why is compressed air?
Because we assume their blinker are too dirty?

[bitter compass]

Never heard of that one 👀
