Everybody and their dog are yapping now about the 300,000 reservations for Tesla Model3. At 1,000$ a pop, the company has now 300 million dollars. Let’s not think anyboy will retire their reservation, but look at another set of numbers. 2009 – the president of Nissan said the Leaf development excedeed 500 million 2015 – BMW spent […]

This gorgeous thing is the Honda Civic 2016. It’s not for sale in Europe just yet, but will be probably in the summer, as it usually happens with Honda and Toyota models. Japanese carmakers have a long history of kinda sorta ignoring Europe car market, even if Europeans bought 1.1 million cars last year. They like […]

Seeking Alpha writes: "In a lot of markets we are seeing Tesla doing better than the BMW 7-series, Mercedes S-class, Audi A8 and Porsche Panamera.

I like to do things manually on my blogs and use as little plugins i can. If i can use a plugin for two things it’s great. A good example is Auto feature Image plugin i am using for display on the front page of my blog, rss thumbnail and Facebook thumbnail (details here). Here […]

This is one of the coldest winters in the last 5 years, i think. With temperatures reaching -30°C, snow set in and cars had a really hard time staying steady on some roads. It’s also the first winter I have driven outside the city in the snow. The Megane handled very well, mostly because of […]
