Last Notes npub1js5cxdjav5kmef4ch3k6hfgfcrc3f7p7fyu33qlnwg5uj76rsj2q50tmk2 Tim Stevens I've been a casual fan of drag racing since I was a kid yet for some reason I waited until I was 46 to actually get to an NHRA national event. npub1js5cxdjav5kmef4ch3k6hfgfcrc3f7p7fyu33qlnwg5uj76rsj2q50tmk2 Tim Stevens "The pure electric high-performance vehicle, when it comes out, the one we're currently working on, will beat everything you've ever seen," Franciscus Van Meel, Director of BMW's M division told me. Exciting, electric things are afoot. Read the full piece at Road & Track. npub1js5cxdjav5kmef4ch3k6hfgfcrc3f7p7fyu33qlnwg5uj76rsj2q50tmk2 Tim Stevens As we reduce emissions from other aspects of transportation, tires are an increasingly big piece of the puzzle. Enso's formulation promises to increase range even further while also increasing life, reducing overall particulate emissions and sending fewer tires into the incinerator -- the fate that awaits roughly half of all tires in the U.S. npub1js5cxdjav5kmef4ch3k6hfgfcrc3f7p7fyu33qlnwg5uj76rsj2q50tmk2 Tim Stevens We're back at it busting myths! Will EVs kill the grid in the summer? Actually, soon, it's winter that'll pose bigger problems... but even then the powers that be aren't concerned. npub1js5cxdjav5kmef4ch3k6hfgfcrc3f7p7fyu33qlnwg5uj76rsj2q50tmk2 Tim Stevens Here's what got me muddy in Seattle earlier this week, testing the refreshed Rivian R1T and R1S for Engadget. Don't be fooled by appearances, these things have some substantial updates beneath the skin! https://youtu.be/w5IvfY8F6ho?si=VWdeynrQqLYRbCTH npub1js5cxdjav5kmef4ch3k6hfgfcrc3f7p7fyu33qlnwg5uj76rsj2q50tmk2 Tim Stevens Picked up a new addition to the axe collection over the weekend. It's a 1955 Rixford, a 3.5 lb Michigan pattern that appears to have never been used. Still has the label and original paint on there! Made in Vermont, just like me. Destined for a place of honor on the wall. npub1js5cxdjav5kmef4ch3k6hfgfcrc3f7p7fyu33qlnwg5uj76rsj2q50tmk2 Tim Stevens Auto industry: We're ready to support the Supercharger network. npub1js5cxdjav5kmef4ch3k6hfgfcrc3f7p7fyu33qlnwg5uj76rsj2q50tmk2 Tim Stevens This piece for MotorTrend is among the hardest I've ever written, not just because of the amount of research, but because of the nature of the environmental and societal damage that I was researching. But, knowing the full truth is important, and I hope if you clink on through that you read the full thing, because there is reason for optimism. npub1js5cxdjav5kmef4ch3k6hfgfcrc3f7p7fyu33qlnwg5uj76rsj2q50tmk2 Tim Stevens Today was a long day of claying, cutting, polishing, and waxing, but I'm pretty pleased with the results. Far from perfect, but miles better than before. Much respect to all the detailers out there. npub1js5cxdjav5kmef4ch3k6hfgfcrc3f7p7fyu33qlnwg5uj76rsj2q50tmk2 Tim Stevens Software-defined vehicles are hip and new, but it's a decades-old networking protocol doing a lot of the heavy lifting. npub1js5cxdjav5kmef4ch3k6hfgfcrc3f7p7fyu33qlnwg5uj76rsj2q50tmk2 Tim Stevens The Ford Maverick is a phenomenal truck, especially in Tremor trim, and doubly so when the surroundings are so great. Full review (with video!) coming soon to Chasing Cars. #truck #trucks #ford #maverick #fordmaverick
