VW inadvertently offers a peek at the interior of its ID.3 EV
[ad_1] Much like Mercedes’ newer cars, the ID.3 will apparently have natural-language voice commands to handle common tasks. You can say “hello ID,” mention that you’re feeling cold and expect your car to turn up the heat. There isn’t an extensive demo of the functionality, but it’s promising if you hate reaching over to tweak […]
Telsa’s Model 3 can now use DC fast chargers across the US
[ad_1] Tesla Superchargers are widely distributed, so Model 3 pilots rarely need access to third-party chargers.

After Math: ‘Murica
[ad_1] The 1967 Ford Mustang hatchback is still among the most recognizable and sought after muscle cars, even after 42 years. But for those seeking to recreate Bullitt’s iconic Bay Area chase scene, there’s an EV for that.

Watch VW’s electric race car smash a 20-year-old Goodwood record
[ad_1] The trick, as you might imagine, was to save weight. Unlike the Pikes Peak variant, the ID.R at Goodwood was optimized for a “sprint” — it carried a smaller battery pack tuned for a brief but fierce assault up the 1.16-mile hill. There won’t be too many complaints given that an F1 car set […]
