@NissanUK - “Your NissanConnect EV app to be discontinued from 30th March 2026” Let's be honest, the app was always way below what should be expected of a £35k car, but to switch it off for my vehicle that's less than 8 years old when Teslas are still getting OTA updates?!!?!!!

In 5 years time, because of actions like this, Nissan will be wondering why their business is on the floor, and Chinese other new OEMs have cleaned up. I, for one, will never buy a Nissan again - because I can no longer trust you... and your new competitors are BETTER.

@wearetherace - I love @GaryAndersonF1's tech work for you, but a flippant comment on EV batteries in the last podcast stood out as surprisingly ignorant. He suggested that "we don't know what to do about EV car batteries", when that absolutely does not stand up to scrutiny...

Battery electric vehicles are not the future of mass transportation - they are the present - they are better, cheaper and demonstrably better for the environment. I'm a massive fan of F1, and actually look forward to V8s returning - but have no doubt, I will not miss ICE cars...

...for mass transportation. There is no argument against EVs that hold up, and it would be good if you contributors educated themselves on the topic before commenting on it. We are not 'realising that battery EVs are a bad idea' - quite the opposite.

@wearetherace - absolutely love your coverage and articles - especially the Gary Anderson technical content - however, I have a bone to pick with you... Yes, I get that all the drivers are currently male and the engineers are a heavily male dominated group...

...but it would be great if you could use more inclusive language and refer to drivers / TPs / engineers with non gender specific pronouns. It may feel like a small thing, but until we stop assuming that everyone's a man, they probably always will be. Every little helps

Only filmed 2, but saw 6 motorbikes mount the pavement without a pause. Just walking home on Chambers Lane.... @RyanHack_

Maybe I'll ressurrect this account as a bad art channel. Doing my eldest's year 7 art homework alongside her. No more time than she takes, giving her help on the way. This week, a famous portrait, redone in pencil.

Far too many bots on here now. Very little engagement from real people. I'm not deleting my account, but I'll no longer be making posts and will be checking it very rarely. I'm not moving to something else. Twitter is dead.

So knocking down huge swathes of Euston was worth it then. Demolishing The Bree Louise included. Always been confused as to why it has always been billed as HS2, when clearly it's actually "High Capacity" that's the important bit.

@RyanHack_ - Just looking at the FAQ for the new recycling scheme in Brent. 27% of people involved in the trial said they wouldn't continue with the service it it became permanent. Only 55% said they would. And the trial was regarded as a success and the change rolled out?

Was engagement in recycling really that low prior to the trial that the result would be an increase in the recycling rate?

The Welsh government would like you to have a nicer, safer and healthier place to live. The Conservative Party want you to get to work more quickly. Don't let the Tories win.

Rishi and The Daily Mail have now made their position clear... they're going for the racist, climate change deniers who have family wealth.

If Rishi Sunak manages to get rid of the 20mph limits in Brent and reduce even further the chances of people parking illegally getting tickets, I might have to start just walking in the middle of the road. Time to take back the streets for "hard working pedestrians"

Scientists think pushing the ICE car ban back is a bad idea. Manufacturers think pushing it back is a bad idea. The Daily Mail and Daily Express think it's a good idea. I wonder which opinion Sunak would rather go with?

Once again oil prices are set to rise due to the actions of a cartel ran by oppressive regimes. And yet a 600 miles range is deemed necessary before some people will consider buying an EV. #priorities #stopburningstuff
