Correct me if I’m wrong… but the headline photo for Tesla shows the Model Y Standard in what looks like Quicksilver…. But it’s not actually offered in Quicksilver..

Mid engine and gated shifter (not sure if this particular one had one) are still unchecked on my car bingo card. As is V10.

Could potentially check all 3 of those with a proper configuration.

How long before this “value engineered” look just goes to all Model Y?

Setting up additional parts complexity and another unique fascia tooling set seem.. not smart

Last year, a house in the neighborhood replaced their tree crushed Land Cruiser with an Ineos. This…. Is not that particular Ineos. But imagine if it was?!!?

Neighborhood trees seem anti off-roader though.

Ioniq 9 #carspotter action. Happened to be at Korean school pickup. Feel like the EV9 and Ioniq9 are getting younger Korean Americans to actually consider and buy the native land brands!

Pritzker: "For Donald Trump and the MAGAs in Congress, this is not about fighting crime or public safety ... this is about consolidating power in Donald Trump's hands. What he plans to do with that power now or during the 2026 elections should worry all of us."

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.
