The 2020 Volkswagen Passat is a basic car with basic tech
[ad_1] While behind the wheel of the 2020 Passat I was reminded that this is Volkswagen’s no-nonsense sedan. It’s not fast, luxurious, or techy.

[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.

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 […]

[ad_1] Uber could soon be banned from London. The city’s ride-hailing regulator, Transport for London (TfL), has denied the company a private hire operator license because it’s “not fit and proper” and allowed a number of uninsured, dismissed and suspended drivers to operate in the city, putting passengers at risk. “While we recognise Uber has […]
Lexus unveils its first production EV, but it’s not for the US
[ad_1] There aren’t many telltale clues that this is an EV. You’ll find aerodynamic wheels and a smooth underbody cover, but those are the most conspicuous visual changes. You may be more likely to recognize it when its artificial sound comes whizzing past. You can also expect better bracing and tuned shock absorbers. The main […]
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 […]
Bollinger’s badass EV utility trucks arrive in 2021
[ad_1] Unfortunately, that huge battery pack also translates into exceedingly long charging times. Even with a Level 2 (240V) charger, you’re looking at a good 8 – 10 hours to fully replenish the system. However if you can get access to a Level 3 commercial charger, you can completely refill the Bollinger’s batteries in just […]
