Tesla delays price hike for self-driving upgrade

[ad_1] The feature has Tesla’s cars automatically navigate toward you in the parking lot. You wouldn’t have to park toward the front of a store just to avoid a lengthy walk. Whether or not Tesla makes that target window isn’t clear. Remember, Musk said in November 2018 that Enhanced Summon was coming in six weeks. […]

SpaceX Starman Roadster completes its first orbit around the Sun

[ad_1] You aren’t about to see Starman drifting through the night sky, unfortunately. Earth is currently on the opposite side of the Sun, and the EV won’t get vaguely close to Earth again until November 5th, 2020, when it’ll be about 0.346AU (just under 32.2 million miles) away. It’ll get much closer to Mars before […]

Drako’s GTE electric supercar will be a four-motor, 1,200HP monster

[ad_1] The machine also touts a 206MPH top speed — again, not the fastest, but it’s quicker than you normally expect for high-performance EVs. You can also expect high-performance parts including Brembo ceramic brakes and an Öhlins suspension. It’s based on a Fisker Karma chassis, but that also allows room for four people and their […]

Chevrolet’s Menlo EV is a Bolt-based crossover bound for China

[ad_1] As Jalopnik notes, the Menlo EV could be what would be called the Bolt EUV in the US. Just a few months ago, a report came out that Chevy is testing a utility-focused crossover that would be named the Bolt EUV once it hits the streets. Chevrolet will officially launch the vehicle at Chengdu […]

Jaguar woos Tesla owners with $3,000 I-Pace EV discount

[ad_1] To top it all off, you don’t have to trade in your Tesla to take advantage of the promotion. Instead, all Jaguar is asking for is proof of ownership and or registration. The offer is available until September 30th, 2019. Additionally, you can’t combine the zero percent financing option Jaguar has offered since the […]

Daimler’s first large electric semi trucks are ready to roll

[ad_1] The eCascadia is an electrified version of the familiar big rig design. Its range isn’t phenomenal at about 250 miles, but that could more than do the job for intercity (and in some cases interstate) cargo runs. The longevity of their batteries is still an unknown, but that’s part of what the Innovation Fleet […]

Tesla in Moscow crashes into tow truck while on Autopilot

[ad_1] Another Tesla crash might serve as a reminder that Autopilot isn’t flawless. Driver Alexi Tretyakov reported that his EV (said to be a Model 3) crashed into a parked tow truck on Moscow’s Ring Road while Autopilot was active. The owner said the August 10th incident occurred while he was driving at the speed […]

Mod turns your Tesla into a rolling surveillance system

[ad_1] The Scout’s alerts (sent through IFTTT) are delayed by about a minute due to the time it takes to record video, and you currently have to create your own web server for this to work in the first place. However, it’s also using off-the-shelf hardware and code that doesn’t require tearing your car open. […]

Porsche Taycan test drive shows the EV’s repeatable launch control

[ad_1] Where Tesla’s cars ask you to explicitly confirm their Ludicrous Plus mode and generally discourage you from using it often, the Taycan is officially rated for ten 0-62MPH and four 0-124MPH runs in a row before you notice any decrease in performance. Unofficially, it can do more — FC‘s Jonny Smith tried it for […]
