Call it the most improved EV I've tested this year! The Solterra was forgettable when I drove it last year, but the 2026 Subaru Solterra beats all of my expectations. šŸ˜Ž Subaru US #electriccar #electriccars #electric #suv #suvs instagram.com/reel/DP4RiOlES…

Going back to what got me started with EVs: the @ford F-150 Lightning. It's been over a year since I last drove one, but feels good to see an old friend. šŸ˜ #ev #ford #fordsofinstagram #fordtrucks #f150 #evs instagram.com/reel/DP7gCsXkS…

Crazy. I went through some boxes today and dug up these gadgets from 10+ years ago. And I remember writing about every single one of them 🄹

Goes to show what driving a different car every week does to your memory. It was only last year when I first drove the @ford F-150 Lightning, but I've completely forgotten what the interior looked liked. That centered mounted touchscreen is sick 😊 instagram.com/reel/DP-mMT3jI…

I didn't think 3-row seaters like the Cadillac Vistiq would offer efficient driving, but it does! Really dig its design too. šŸ˜ #ev #evs #electricvehicle #electricvehicles tomsguide.com/vehicle-tech/e…

The best hybrid car around gets better as a plug-in! Class-leading fuel economy paired with all-electric driving makes the 2025 Toyota USA Prius Plug-In Hybrid one to consider for long term savings. And you can add a solar panel roof too! šŸŒž instagram.com/reel/DQKM2Cvka…

I love these fall nights in the northeast when you can see some of the most breathtaking deep space objects visibly in the night sky. You can see M42 The Great Orion Nebula right at the tip of the tree, while M45 Pleiades is that cluster of stars at the top. šŸ’« #astrophotography

More than a year later, I'm back to the luxury car that was the benchmark for everything else after. Sad to say goodbye to the Audi A6, but stoked for the 2025 !@Cadillac Lyriq this week! 🤩🤩🤩 General Motors #cadillac #cadillaclife #cadillaclyriq instagram.com/reel/DQdiv8bgB…

Best thing about fall back? Orion is visible in the night sky at a decent hour, so I thought I'd check it out with a pair of night vision binoculars I'm testing out. I'm glad I did because I caught something magical right at the end, so I made a wish. 🌠 #astro #astrophotography

Still one of the most breathtaking deep space object you can see in the night sky right now. Just look up and find orion’s belt and look directly south of it and you’ll see what looks like a fuzzy patch that’s sorta bright. That’s M42 the Great Orion Nebula. #astrophotography

I don't talk a whole lot about phones anymore, but this one deserves it. The OnePlus 15 lasted me more than 2 days with a single charge. Now that's something. 🤯 #OnePlus15 #NeverSettle tomsguide.com/phones/oneplus…

Ohhhh yeah! I’ve got the 2025 Polestar 3 for the next week and I’m excited for this one. Scandinavian minimalism just about everywhere you look. šŸ˜ Polestar #polestar #polestar3 #ev #evs #electricvehicle #electricvehicles instagram.com/reel/DRA_DsLkZ…

Video is still my craft, but I've been working on my photo editing skills for nearly a year now with all of my car reviews. This one blends them both perfectly! BMW BMW USA instagram.com/reel/DREMW0JgC…

Okay, now this redesign is something to talk about. I'm in the 2026 @nissan Leaf for the next week and it's one of the most affordable EVs around. 🤩 @nissanusa #nissan #nissanleaf #nissanlovers instagram.com/reel/DROFUNMkV…

Very interesting results with the 2025 @jeep Wagoneer S. For a mid-size SUV, its 3.7 mi/kWh efficiency is actually pretty good. And I actually like the design! Stellantis North America #jeep #jeeplife #jeeplove #jeepnation #jeepwagoneer instagram.com/reel/DRSM5mlEQ…

This is the cheapest EV I've come across with a dimming panoramic glass roof. It's one of many cool features that come with the 2026 Nissan Leaf Platinum+! šŸƒ @nissan @nissanusa #ev #evs #electricvehicle #electricvehicles instagram.com/reel/DRaaov_Ea…

So I'm in the backyard just looking up at the sky with this new thermal monocular camera I'm testing and see this plane coming, so I decided to put the scope on it — but WTH is that floating behind it. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø šŸŽ„: Mileseey Tools #ufo #uap #thermal #thermalimaging #thermalcamera
