[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. […]

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 […]
Elon Musk wins defamation trial over British cave diver
[ad_1] A lawyer representing Vernon Unsworth called Elon Musk a “billionaire bully,” and sought up to $190 million in damages but a jury decided in his favor anyway. They ruled that his series of tweets last year that referenced Unsworth as a “pedo guy” and promised a “signed dollar” if it was true were not […]
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 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, […]
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. Since then, many have complained it wasn’t a good comparison, since the presumable AWD Cybertruck appeared to face off against a RWD Ford with nothing in the bed to help […]
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
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 […]
I rode inside Tesla’s polarizing Cybertruck
[ad_1] A few hours (yes, hours) after Musk left the stage, I was able to sit, very briefly, in the giant metal series of trapezoids cobbled together, known as the Cybertruck. It’s a very early pre-production vehicle, but my first reaction was, “this is a very comfortable back seat.” It was more comfortable than the […]
