Tesla Model 3 Is #1 Best Selling Vehicle In Norway, #3 In Netherlands, #7 In…
The Tesla Model 3 is in a class of its own. It’s quicker and more fun to drive than a BMW, safer than a Volvo, has better tech than a Mercedes, and often has a total cost of ownership similar to a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. All of that makes it a highly competitive vehicle in several markets. Its biggest downside is that the starting price, especially in Europe, put it in the premium car class, and many consumers can’t afford a premium-class car.
Volkswagen ID.3 vs. Skoda Octavia, Renault Megane, & Peugeot 308 — 5 Year Cost of…
Following up on my article comparing the Volkswagen ID.3 with the Volkswagen Golf on a 5 year cost of ownership basis, below are comparisons of the ID.3 against a few other top selling compact cars — the Skoda Octavia, Skoda Octavia Sport Edition, Renault Megane Life, Renault Megane GT Line, Peugeot 308 Access, and Peugeot 308 GT.
Volkswagen ID.3 vs. Volkswagen Golf — 5 Year Cost of Ownership Comparison
For this analysis, I’m comparing the Volkswagen ID.3 to the lowest trim Volkswagen Golf and the highest trim Golf, but not adding any options/extras. The ID.3 likely has top-of-the-line technology, so even the base ID.3 should probably be compared to higher-trim versions of the Volkswagen Golf. Consider this an unfair handicap for the incumbents.

Will A Watershed Event Turn The Tide Against Fossil Fuels?
Right now we are facing an existential crisis, despite the fact conservatives deny the reality of climate change and the media doing their bidding (thanks to bullying, bothsiderism, and disinterest) climate change quickly threatens the future of the planet and the human race.
Live Music + EVs + Beer = Abita Springs Drive Electric Day
Abita Springs Drive Electric Day was held on Sunday, September 15, and was a part of the nationwide celebration of EVs known as National Drive Electric Week. Abita is known for its wide range of local brews. One of my favorites is Purple Haze, another is the holiday edition, Creole Cream Ale (which can’t get here quick enough!).
Tesla Autopilot Improvements in Tesla Software V10 — CleanTechnica Review
As I wrote a few hours ago, Tesla’s new V10 software is rolling out to Early Access program members and I happened to land in one of those people’s cars. I wrote a quick summary and first impressions of many of the new features in that article, but it seemed like improvements to Autopilot warranted their own dedicated piece.
