@Din4_mitt @DaveThroup I hope you’re not typing this on a Chinese made phone or computer!

Almost 3 years later and where is the much heralded #Hydrogen cartridge for #FCEV cars?

Yes, that’s right, it doesn’t exist.
It never existed, and it never will exist.
It was just more empty #HydogenHype.

@WarrenWhyteUK Have you come across @UFODriveTweets ? Best car rental experience I've ever had, and no, they're not paying me to say that! https://t.co/7hePHWILSm

@lebon80 @mita_nyt @elonmusk @John_M_Q Not a rule.

Talking of typos… Can you spot it? @faircropfest #cropredy2024

@jakebeldercars So what are you looking for in your non-commuter lifestyle? (Genuine curiosity, in the spirit of @MrRoryReid's open question. 🙂)

@ElectrekCo Scrub my last message. This feed is also the Wheelie Podcast - apparently something happened deeper in your podcast publishing platform…

@ElectrekCo Team, can you check the podcast upload on Apple, please? Description is Electrek but the audio and transcript (UK-specific?) is the Wheelie Podcast. Thanks.

@norfolktee @Gatwick_Airport Do the signs make it clear it’s for drop off AND pick up? My recollection is that they just say “drop off” - perhaps this is what’s causing the confusion?

@evmanuk @rec777777 Cars depreciate - shock! Electric cars are becoming more affordable - outrageous!

"There is nothing more powerful than a good story..." @ignatius_sancho Great to see you living the dream and getting such good stories out there.

Was in @Daily_Express today debunking an unfortunate mistake made by the Net Zero Scrutiny Group (a bunch of MPs skeptical about net zero and climate change) as they sought to criticise the Government's Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate

WTF!?

No I didn’t give permission, not with that headline.

🤷‍♂️

Literal click bait! Headline has nothing to do with the article!

@Hertz The account sign-up for Gold Plus Rewards was possibly the worst online registration experience I've had for some years - and I've had a few bad ones. Please consult with someone who understands UX design and digital identity. Literally anyone.

Some people might be aware that there’s been much excitement on Twitter about a reported recent discovery of room temperature superconductivity (a very big deal in physics) and the results from a Korean research group creating a material called LK-99. 1/3

Ciaran Jenkins dissects Rishi Sunak's claims and finds it wanting. This is Grade A humiliation.

@theallinpod Could you check the survey, please? In q2 some countries appear to be missing, specifically the UK, and more generally countries starting with letters beyond ‘S’… Buffer overflow? (picking geographic region doesn’t seem to filter)

[Tim Rault-Smith @timrs]

It seems there's a basic logic error in the page which incorrectly sets the "incorrect password" switch, and this can't be unset by a correct password. I remember this from my previous Admiral policy a few years ago. Terrible user experience.

[Tim Rault-Smith @timrs]

@AdmiralUK Trying to set a good password on my new account is nigh on impossible - your system rejects valid passwords suggested by Safari on a Mac. There's something very broken on https://t.co/5y9mQkll1A. (And I'm not just here to plug #forgerock)
