I'm not interested in this car but others might be and I really like this car review channel the best. No nonsense or fawning over stuff only car enthusiasts like.

I'm not sure what it is (was), a Dodge Dart maybe? Whatever the case, that's quite the paint job!
Vroom vroom!

I just looked up the stats for EV sales in Norway in 2025, and here's the pie chart for what's classified as "passenger cars".
The labels are:
Electric: 95.9%
Chargeable hybrid: 1.5%
Hybrid: 1.3%
Diesel: 1.0%
Gasoline: 0.3%
It also lists Hydrogen and Gas, which rounds off to 0%.
For vans, the market share for electric is 45.2%. I'm not sure if the classification is related to actual car body shape or number of seats. They have different registrations.

Chinese automakers built nearly 1 in 10 passenger cars sold in Europe last month, a record share that caps a year of rapid growth led by brisk sales of hybrid and battery-powered vehicles. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/30/economy/chinese-cars-europe-rapid-uptake/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #china #europe #electricvehicles #carmakers #cars
As Tesla fundamentally pivots away from selling electric cars in favor of robots, I’m thinking of the conversation I had with @niedermeyer back in September titled “Is Tesla Still a Car Company?”

Things are not going well in #Tesla. They are discontinuing the Model S and Model X; the only plausible reason for this action is that those models are not selling.
Tesla profits are down 61% year-over-year this quarter. The utterly failed Cybertruck, for some inexplicable reason, remains a product in their lineup (just kidding—we all know it’s because it’s Elon’s failson).
The Tesla brand is in the shitter. People aren’t buying their cars. Most remaining Tesla sales are Model 3 and Model Y, which have the thinnest margins, and experiencing downward pressure from collapsing used car prices.
Elon is trying to make their humanoid robots happen, which has to be the least plausible of his vaporwares. Remember, Full Self Driving is still not a product even after a decade.
Anyway, good job! Continue the pressure. Continue to frown at Tesla owners. Continue shunning Cybertruck owners. Refuse to ride in Tesla cars, even when your friends offer you a ride.

Toyota Motor kept its title as the world’s biggest carmaker for a sixth year, widening its lead over Volkswagen by posting record sales despite trade turmoil and growing competition. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/29/companies/toyota-global-sales-2025-record/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #toyota #cars #carmakers #donaldtrump #tariffs

Walked past the gas station with my skis yesterday. Realised that it's been a long time since the gas price on the big glowing sign outside meant anything to me. I haven't owned a car in years, and my wife's got an electric.
The rural / small-town fascist voters have it right. Us suburbanites around the big cities really do not share their concerns. But I'd be happy to vote to reinstate and increase the EV subsidy.

Chery Automobile, China’s top car exporter, agreed to buy Nissan’s vehicle-manufacturing plant in South Africa, the latest evidence of the growing global dominance of Chinese brands. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/23/companies/chery-nissan-factory-south-africa/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #nissan #cars #southafrica #chery #china
Japan’s exports managed to rise last year despite the first fall in shipments to the U.S. since the pandemic, in a year that was roiled by tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/22/economy/japan-exports-rise-2025/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #economicindicators #trade #japaneseeconomy #tariffs #cars #donaldtrump #usjapanrelations
