Just went out to my car to get some postage stamps out and drop the office mail in the outgoing mail drop. Two out of the three #Tesla cars out there sounded like they were running. I'm guessing that is some sort of cooling system. Do they do that all the time? They just sit there and run? They are louder than my ICE car. I'm guessing the eventually need to stop doing that as they'd run out of juice just parked. I don't know enough about them to know what is going on. #EV #EVs

Currently, we have a Volvo EX30 as our primary/daily driver. We got it in bright-freaking-yellow (or, as Volvo calls it, "moss yellow"). We got it on a lease because that was the only way to maximize the price reductions …and, we weren't certain we'd want to keep it. It's turned out to be a pretty decent car — really fun — and we'd been thinking, "at lease's end, we can upgrade to the 2028 model-year, if its got an improved battery and software." Unfortunately, Volvo joined most of the other marques selling #EVs in the US and discontinued their small/"hot" options. So, a 2028 EX30 is off the table (unless Trump's spiking of oil prices causes it to make sense to Volvo to make a 2028 EX30 available in the US).

So, we started looking at likely future options. The only real equivalent is looking to be the Rivian R3 (in the high-power trim). Downside of Rivian (aside from the stooooooopid headlights) is they don't offer many colors, though, it looks like they've added a shade of purple.

We already have a purple car, though (my 2002 330Cic is "techno violet metallic"). Having two purple cars, even different shades and textures, would probably not be something we wanted to do, though.
