As astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson pointed out, […]
Elon Musk tells Ford VP ‘bring it on’ in F-150 vs. Cybertruck battle
[ad_1] At the unveiling of Tesla’s Cybertruck, Elon Musk showed off a video of the low-polygon-count pickup defeating an F-150 in a tug of war.

This ‘O-29’ hum is the sound of Ford’s new hybrid SUVs
[ad_1] Both vehicles are already reaching dealers, although a plug-in hybrid Escape won’t arrive until 2020.

Ford’s electric Mustang project car packs a manual transmission
[ad_1] The power is possible in part due to some cutting-edge tech.
