I’m in Atlanta for the @MichelinUSA Pilot Series and we’re in the tower having breakfast. An Englishman is insisting that biscuits are scones and - what? No. They are not the same!

I spent some time driving the @NissanUSA Leaf last week and got some insight into why this Leaf is perfect for those new to the EV life.

The 2026 Nissan Leaf builds on the brand's EV experience to make its small EV a serious competitor.

Yes. My personal item is a pie, safely stowed for its flight home.

The @NissanUSA LEAF is the correct way to write the name of the car, because yes, it is an acronym. Ten points to whoever knows what it stands for without looking it up. (I had to look it up, not gonna lie.) @NACTOY #nactoyjuror

I wasn't a big fan of the @subaru_usa Solterra when it debuted, but big changes this year make it a far more compelling EV option. These are just a few of the features that make it a car worth considering.

The Subaru Solterra is all-new this year with a refined interior that includes features to make everyday easier.

Up early for a flight to Denver to drive the new @subaru_usa Solterra! I’m liking how it looks and really looking forward to seeing how it drives.

The concept of this is crazy in the best way. The simplicity. It’s almost charming. @slateauto

I also learned that the gates at the parking garage are not easy to navigate with a car on dollies, which could result in your car getting knocked off said dollies and now in addition to being dead, I’m dealing with a repair claim. Sigh.

Today - I learned how one use dollies to get a car out of a parking garage that’s too low to flat bed. I’m fine. This is fine. All good here. How are you?

I had the opportunity to drive the @PolestarCars 4 last week and although drive impressions are embargoed, I can share what I thought about some of its features over on @topspeed. There was a lot to like, but there was one thing that I most definitely did not like - something

There's a lot to like about the 2026 Polestar 4, but there's also one feature that totally missed the mark.

The cargo cover on my @Jeep Wagoneer S folds to fit in a little sleeve, but I’ll be darned if I can figure it out. 🤦♀️😂
