[ad_1] The force has been criticized at times for a fleet whose vehicles are frequently more about showing off than catching crooks. It doesn’t really need an ultra-rare Aston Martin One-77 for pursuits. The Cybertruck, however, could be genuinely practical. The dual-motor version arriving in 2021 is quicker off the line than most cars, and […]

Ford’s Mustang Mach-E First Edition is sold out in the US
[ad_1] Don’t despair too much if you want the electric Mustang relatively quickly. The not-quite-entry-level Premium model is still due to arrive in late 2020 (not far behind the First Edition) as of this writing. It’s the Select, California Route 1 and GT variants that won’t arrive until early 2021. You can still impress all […]
Lincoln is reportedly building an electric SUV on Rivian’s platform
[ad_1] Ford and Rivian haven’t commented on the apparent leak. The move would make sense. Ford hasn’t been shy about relying on others to fast-track its EV strategy, including plans to build a car on VW’s electric platform. Rivian would help Lincoln quickly build an electric SUV without investing the time and resources needed to […]
Ford will pass on a tug-of-war with Tesla’s Cybertruck
[ad_1] Ford added that it was going to have electrified trucks regardless, including a hybrid F-150 in 2020 and a fully electric F-150 in “a few years.” There might not be a clear-cut winner if there is a duel, official or otherwise (Musk hinted at one next week). As astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson pointed out, […]
VW’s factory race teams will exclusively drive electric cars
[ad_1] On top of the ID.R, VW expects to rely on cars using its electric-oriented MEB platform for future competition. You could see this coming when VW has increasingly touted the ID.R as its flagship race car. It’s also comparatively easier for VW to pull out of gas-powered racing given its level of investment. VW’s […]
Lexus unveils its first production EV, but it’s not for the US
[ad_1] There aren’t many telltale clues that this is an EV. You’ll find aerodynamic wheels and a smooth underbody cover, but those are the most conspicuous visual changes. You may be more likely to recognize it when its artificial sound comes whizzing past. You can also expect better bracing and tuned shock absorbers. The main […]
Tesla already has 146,000 deposits for its Cybertruck
[ad_1] For context, the Model 3 had 232,000 deposits within the first day after its debut. The gap is narrow, all things considered — the Model 3 was supposed to be the relatively affordable, ubiquitous EV where the Cybertruck is both higher-priced and targeted at a more specific audience. This is helped by a much […]
Elon Musk confirms Tesla’s ‘Cyberquad’ as a Cybertruck accessory
[ad_1] Other than unveiling Tesla’s new low-polygon-count pickup, Elon Musk also introduced an electric ATV at the event last night. Dubbed the Cyberquad, Musk confirmed on Twitter today that the two-person ATV will be available “first” as an option for Cybertruck buyers. At the event, the four-wheeler rode into the back of a Cybertruck as […]
Tesla’s electric ATV matches well with the Cybertruck
[ad_1] Besides the electric Cybertruck, Elon Musk also showed off an apparently Tesla-designed electric ATV. It’s not available as part of the pre-orders currently live on Tesla’s store, but in the presentation it was used to show off how the Cybertruck’s adaptive suspension tilts for easy loading. It can apparently charge directly from Tesla’s truck […]
GM’s first electric truck could be ready in 2021
[ad_1] GM’s electric truck plans were rumored last month, when the Detroit Free Press reported that the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant would remain open to produce the electric pickup. But this is the first time the company has mentioned a timeline. The electric truck market is becoming more crowded. Rivian’s R1T electric pickup is slated to […]
