My old car had an SD card slot that you could play music from. But the new one has only USB-C ports. However, I learned that they will allow you to mount storage, so I bought a cheap USB-C micro SD reader, and later added a 90 degree adapter to keep it from getting knocked out.

Nice and tidy!

Works well. This is in an #Audi but I bet it will work in other cars.

VW- und Porsche-CEO Oliver Blume: „Deutschland ist viel besser als das Bild, das aktuell gezeichnet wird“

Well, #BMW / #Mini announced their move today (includes Rolls Royce for what that’s worth). #VWAG and #Stellantis are in negotiations - so they will likely commit soon. #Toyota is really all that’s left outside of China…

Now about the charging companies; Just using the #NACS plug is not satisfactory - they need to improve ease of use and reliability…

I forgot #Toyota. So without details on what the Chinese companies are doing (although assuming those that are part of the #Volvo #Polestar conglomerate are switching to #NACS) - Toyota, #Stellantis, and #BMW are the largest remaining hold outs - and #VWAG is still a “maybe”. If #BYD adopts NACS there is essentially zero momentum left in CCS.
Competition is good! Fanboys always want to be like OMG TESLA SELLZ MORE EVS. I have had recent debates with so many of them - essentially #Tesla had no competition. They always come back with something like ALL THE OTHERS ARE TEH SUXX - its really annoying. Now there is solid competition out there Tesla is cracking. #Hyundai / #Kia & #Ford are hot, #Mercedes and #VWAG bringing it. #Polestar is 🔥 & #Volvo #EX90 is exciting (and successfully does what #Elon said is a fools errand).
