Just back from a deceptively chilly, but brilliant morning's hustling in Wimbledon. Wonderful to see so many new faces. First set of photos is the rarest cars I spotted.

I'm still a big fan of the Polestar Precept (the sedan), due in a couple of years as the Polestar 5. I hope the production version is as good as the concept looks. $PSNY

Back in MA today, where the temp is up to -4F (-20C). (Was -11F/-24C when I got up around 6:30 am. Definitely chilly.)

It’s amazing how all the ideas of crypto are literally just “hey what if we brought back massive social and wealth inequality, except we were at the top.”
Like y’all are straight up regressive idiots, I’m sorry but it’s true.

It’s 2035. A Tesla burns outside my window. The owner chants “Love the car” over and over. I order food with Twitter crypto and an Optimus bot is on its way. As it gets to my home a Cybertruck on FSD runs it over. I receive a text - “Your food is financially delivered”.

So I can only see this plea for hybrids instead of EVs as the latest cynical (but admittedly successful) marketing stunt from the company that brought us "self charging" hybrids. Shame on them.

I see 's chief scientist Gill Pratt everywhere with his seemingly 'sober' claim that scarce lithium should be used in small batteries for hybrid cars (that Toyota is market leader in of course).
He's calling out "EV-only extremists".
And it's such utter bollox.

Interesting slide from Siemens Gamesa, the 2nd world's largest manufacturer of wind turbines.
It reports that onshore turbine orders dropped 46.3% y-on-y in the last quarter. And the cost of those turbines (€ per MWh) went up 25% y-on-y | #EnergyCrisis #Windturbines

Seen here in a two tone Salmon-Grey combo is Robert Wilke’s 1955 Ferrari 375 MM Coupe Speciale. Wilke's, a racing lover and personal friend of Enzo Ferrari, had this car made. The car ended up being the final Ferrari done with bodywork by Ghia.

For a while, we spent all our time not travelling, not commuting, not going to restaurants, and instead buying STUFF online. What did people think would happen to global manufacturing as that unwound, esp when they had rebuilt inventories. The least surprising IP recession ever

Recessions are all about removing leveraged excess from an economy.
The only excess we are wringing out are the businesses that needed 1% rates to function.
GM is out here saying they see no layoffs.
Don't overcomplicate this?

For the next couple of years, the seemingly infinite promise of these big-battery EVs is going to turn into a premium segment knife fight. There are only so many buyers for the $70k average transaction price of these EVs, and that number ain't growing even as OEMs multiply.
