Tesla superfans are not quick to criticize their lord and savior Elon Musk, but the latest batch of Tesla Cyberbeer, yes Cyberbeer, is getting some rare backlash from the company’s faithful fans, with some going so far as to tweet about it and call it ‘hot garbage.’

Recently, I learned about an artist by the name of Evan Honer who sings a song called “I Don’t Know Shit About Cars,” which is super catchy and also a total lie. All you have to see to know that Evan is a total fraud is the inclusion of a beautiful 280Z in the official music video. If he didn’t know shit about cars,…

Elon Musk’s Twitter is a different place than it was a year ago. What was once a website where journalists networked and talked to sources is now a place where conspiracy theories and the alt right abound — most of them provably wrong, and many of them antisemitic.

Sales of electric vehicles are on track to hit a million cars this year for the first time, which is helping cut down fossil fuel usage across America. However, the amount being saved by our slow and steady switch to EVs pales in comparison to the amount of fossil fuels being burned by people making the switch to…

Day-to-day life can be stressful. You’ve got responsibilities at work. You’ve got responsibilities at home. You’re losing your hair and just had to buy a new pair of jeans because your old ones shrunk in the wash. Your only escape is to spend your way out of that hole, and if there’s one thing that we can guarantee…

Subaru finally showed the 2025 Forester at this year’s LA Auto Show. While it’s the sixth generation and wears an all new face, it’s like seeing a friend who’s had some plastic surgery work done: something is off, but something is so familiar.

Landing a plane on a normal runway is no easy task. Landing a Boeing 787 Dreamliner on an ice runway in Antarctica is another beast entirely, but that’s exactly what Norse Atlantic Airways pilots did at 2 a.m. on November 15, according to CNN. In doing so, the 787-9 became the first widebody aircraft to land on the…

It’s been quite the week in our nation’s capital, and we can now add suspicious mass transit options to the latest explanations as to why the violence of January 6 was not the fault of Donald Trump’s MAGA faithful.

It’s finally here. After months of talking, planning, and strategizing, cars are hitting the track for Formula 1's inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix. The course cuts through the heart of the Strip, and iconic casinos like Caesars Palace and MGM Grand line the track. But if each of the drivers on the race’s starting grid…

Mortality is hard to face. Just ask Camus or any of the other existentialists. Everything dies or must be left behind somehow. Yes, even our beloved dailies. But, luckily, that doesn’t spell the end for those of us who love to drive, because we can replace our cars with better, faster new ones. Or not.

Fictional cars can be the best, specifically because they’re not real. They can be as wild as the person who created them imagines. From nuclear power to weapons systems they’re like concept cars if auto makers had any guts.

Mitsuoka rules. Yes, that Mitsuoka, the one that made the Orochi and the Le-Seyde, rules. The company may have been ragged on for those models, but since refocusing on car designs from the ’60s and ’70s its begun making some beautiful machines. We now have the Rock Star and the Buddy, but the company’s latest model…

Ah, Seattle. Home of cold weather, gray days, and weird three-wheelers. I’ve only been to the Pacific Northwest once in my life, but I feel like my 27 years on this earth have given me a nice sense of the area’s vibe. In short, it’s fantastic.

After weeks of anticipation, Formula 1 cars finally hit the Las Vegas Strip Circuit last night for the first practice session of the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix, but the excitement was short lived. Just eight minutes into the session, it was brought to an end after a drain cover was ripped from the Las Vegas streets.

This may come as a shock to some of you, but our most dedicated readers don’t generally like to click on posts about three-row mid-size crossovers. Direct traffic is also even worse when we’re talking about a mid-cycle refresh that gives said crossover an updated look with no other major updates, such as a new, more…

With the on sale date of the new 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe just a few months away, Hyundai dropped even more details on the all new SUV at the LA Auto Show.

The seller of today’s Nice Price or No Dice Volvo wagon touts its supposedly solid nature but confuses the gross weight for its curb weight, saying it’s “almost 5,000 pounds.” Let’s see if they’ve been more accurate in setting a solid price.
