Elon Musk took Tesla’s Cybertruck for a weekend drive around LA

[ad_1] $TSLA pic.twitter.com/E9NrscR4J8 — GuruLeaks (@Guruleaks1) December 8, 2019 The truck didn’t seem to have anything about it that was more production-ready than when we saw it at the unveiling, although seeing it on the street gives a good sense of how large the Cybertruck really is. People spotted the truck stopped in traffic, and […]

Tesla’s electric ATV should launch at the same time as the Cybertruck

[ad_1] Musk also toyed with the prospect of designing an electric dirt bike for those who prefer two-wheeled adventures, although he didn’t say how serious he was about the prospect. You can forget about an electric motorcycle, though. Musk felt motorbikes were “too dangerous,” citing a near-fatal collision with a truck when he was 17. […]

Porsche tests a four-motor powertrain for electric SUVs

[ad_1] The technology doesn’t need additional sensors, and the software control can redistribute power “within milliseconds” instead of the relatively pokey limited-slip differential found in gas cars. Porsche said it has been testing the system over the course of two winters. There’s one, overriding question: which model gets a four-motor system first? Porsche has already […]

Tesla will start charging $10 per month for ‘Premium’ in-car data

[ad_1] It might not be quite as bad as it sounds. The only features you’ll never have access to in the basic tier (Standard Connectivity) are satellite maps and live traffic visualizations. Media streaming, web browsing and Caraoke are still available — you’ll just need to be connected to WiFi to use them. You This […]

Tesla Cybertruck will join Dubai’s eclectic police fleet

[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 […]

After Math: The future of transportation is electrifying

[ad_1] As we wrap up a week of LA Auto Show news, two themes become apparent: we are well on our way towards electric drivetrains being the rule rather than the exception, and you should always ensure that your unshatterable windows are indeed unshatterable… [ad_2] Source link
