Old video games are known for two things: Usually being at least a little better in your head than they were in reality, and cheating. Emphasis on the cheating. Racing games are notorious for this, perhaps because it’s so obvious how they can cheat, simply by making opponent cars much faster than yours. My favorite

If you spent any time on Facebook or this very website earlier in the week, you might have seen a Tesla Cybertruck that was stuck on the Rubicon Trail for days. It was a heck of a story that involved big aspirations and even bigger headaches, like a handful of broken tie rods and a

The third-generation Mercedes-Benz GLA is nearing the end of development, and our spies have sent us photos of the first prototypes to hit public roads. And while it’s unclear from these photos whether this is an internal-combustion or battery-electric model, we won’t have to wait too much longer to learn more about it. The subcompact

The one-of-one open-roof Acura NSX Roadster that Robert Downey Jr. drives as Tony Stark, AKA Iron Man, for about two seconds of screen time in the 2012 movie The Avengers, is resurfacing at this year’s Monterey Car Week. As you may recall, the second-gen NSX didn’t really exist until 2016, so picture-car producers had to

The way things are going, it’s very reasonable to expect that the next time you rent a car, a human won’t be reviewing its condition when you bring it back. Hertz and Sixt are bringing AI-powered vehicle inspection scanners to more of their lots, with competitors taking notice. And, if you decide to contest one

We’re about 15 years into an era of practical electric cars. For much of that time, we’ve been hearing about the potential of the “skateboard” chassis—an EV can be anything, just drop it on top of a structural battery deck. But so far, no automaker has really run with this to efficiently crank out dramatically

The United States Environmental Protection Agency is on a roll when it comes to undoing past regulations and directives. Now, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is urging truck and engine manufacturers to do away with sudden speed and power losses due to low diesel exhaust fluid levels. In his announcement at the Iowa State Fair, a

Once upon a time, we thought cars of the future were going to look just like this Tritan A2 three-wheeler: pointy and spaceship-like, straight out of comic books and The Jetsons. The future has sadly proven to be far less whimsical than that, but you can still live out that fantasy by scooping up one

First, Harambe, then Peanut the Squirrel, and now, now some terrible person has taken from us Ram‘s V8-powered mechanical bull, a.k.a. “Bucking Hemi.” Revealed as a “symbol of protest,” Ram’s new V8 logo is as macho as can be, and rather fitting for a fun carnival ride at the yearly Roadkill Nights events in Pontiac,

It might be one of the nation’s most popular four-wheeling trails, but the Rubicon in California ain’t easy. The 22-mile route that snakes through the Sierra Nevada is the de facto proving grounds for any manufacturer who wants people to know their rig is tough enough. As far as I know, Tesla never tried it
