Tesla starts selling used Model 3 cars online
[ad_1] As with Tesla’s existing used car sales, each vehicle has to go through a 70-point inspection and comes with either a four-year, 50,000-mile warranty or a two-year, 100,000-mile warranty. In theory, you won’t have to worry that the previous owner ran down the battery or was hiding a production defect. There are reasons you […]
BMW teases M concept car blending technology and performance
[ad_1] Where the Vision iNEXT used tech to offer a more luxurious, hands-off ride, the Vision M Next will rely on it to “enhance driving pleasure.” This will be the anti-autonomous car, in other words — it’s all about making manual control more exciting. While it’s not certain what that entails, it’s easy to imagine […]
Mazda will offer an EV in 2020
[ad_1] The automaker is catching up on hybrids, too, with plug-in models (notice the plural) coming in “2021 or 2022.” Not that Mazda has much choice.

Lyft offers free EV charging to Portland drivers
[ad_1] The free charging comes not long after Lyft outlined plans to go carbon neutral, and fits in with the company’s overall hopes of reducing its environmental impact. However, it’s not likely to have a dramatic effect for a while. Even with falling prices, EVs still tend to be expensive — at least at first, […]
Tesla starts locking down features on entry-level Model 3
[ad_1] It’s not certain if or when Tesla will lock down features on already-sold Standard Range cars that have Plus features turned on. We’ve asked Tesla if it can comment. A delay in implementing the software lock wouldn’t be surprising. Tesla is still focused on delivering as many Model 3s as it can, and its […]
Fiat Chrysler may strike Renault deal to survive changing car industry
[ad_1] The two sides have already been talking about sharing car platforms, the FT said, although it heard that the discussions are far enough along that they’ve gone “beyond simply sharing the technology.” Fiat Chrysler and Renault have declined to comment. A deal could have significant ramifications for both the tech in Fiat Chrysler’s cars […]
Tesla’s automatic lane changes pose safety concerns
[ad_1] There were even passes that violated state laws, officials said. It would pass on the right on a two-lane divided highway, or wouldn’t move back to the right-side travel lane after a pass.
