The new Tesla Roadster can launch with cold-gas thrusters. Refilling them is another matter. Tesla engineering chief Lars Moravy told Top Gear that the nitrogen tank behind the seats of the Thrust version currently takes two to six hours to fill. The system it feeds runs for about five seconds. Moravy made the comment in a video interview published on October 16, 2026, the day after the car’s public reveal. He put current fill times…
The internet has decided that America’s millionaires drive Toyotas. A “scientific study” says so, the headlines say so, and a TikTok clip by real estate investor and podcaster Brian Luebben pushed the idea past 660,000 views, according to Motor1. There is just one problem. The research everybody is quoting says something else. Go back to the book that started it all, and the brand sitting at the top of the millionaire list is not Toyota.…
Tesla still rules the roost, but the electric gold rush has hit a rough patch If you’ve been wondering whether the EV revolution is still on schedule, the Q1 2026 numbers are in and the answer is complicated. U.S. electric vehicle sales got smacked around again — but not as badly as the quarter before, and some brands are actually thriving while others are taking it on the chin. Ford, unfortunately, is squarely in the…
Bloomberg report says SpaceX and friends are propping up Tesla’s pickup numbers Well, this is an interesting way to move metal off the lot. According to a new Bloomberg report, roughly 20 percent of all Tesla Cybertrucks on the road aren’t sitting in some enthusiast’s driveway — they’re registered to other companies Elon Musk happens to own. Turns out when your truck sales start looking a little thin, it helps to have a few billion-dollar…
Jim Farley’s garage tells two very different stories at once. Here’s one you might not have seen coming: the CEO of Ford Motor Company has been daily-driving a Chinese EV for months. Jim Farley — yeah, the guy whose day job is selling F-150s and Mustangs — has been behind the wheel of a Xiaomi SU7, and he doesn’t seem the least bit embarrassed about it. Know Thy Enemy Give Farley credit for one thing:…
Ford’s prototype Pony Car just embarrassed the Corvette ZR1X by eight seconds Remember when a sub-seven-minute Nürburgring lap was supercar territory reserved for Porsches with rear-mounted flat-sixes and German engineers in white lab coats? Well, pour yourself a cold one and sit down, because the boys in Dearborn just ran a 6:40.835 around the Green Hell in a Mustang. Yeah, you read that right. A Mustang. The Pony Car That Went Prototype The car that…
For decades, Ford’s F-Series has been America’s best-selling truck — a symbol of durability, utility, and trust. From farms and job sites to highways and suburbs, the F-150 and its bigger Super Duty siblings have carried generations of Americans. But even these trusted workhorses aren’t immune to today’s challenges. Ford has announced a recall of 355,656 trucks in the U.S. due to a faulty instrument-panel display that may increase the risk of crashes. What Models…
General Motors has announced a voluntary recall of over 23,500 Corvette Z06 and ZR1 models in the U.S. due to a potential fire risk during refueling. This affects 2023–2025 Corvette Z06s and 2025–2026 Corvette ZR1s. Why the recall matters Fuel spillage can ignite fire: The nature of the problem involves excess fuel spilling into the gas‑filler area and leaking onto hot components near the left-side radiator/fan assembly — a setup unique to Z06 and ZR1…
For decades, carmakers like Ford, GM, and Chrysler (and their European peers like Volvo and Toyota) competed on horsepower, chrome, design, and engineering. Success meant building reliable V8s, stylish coupes, and trucks that could haul a load. But in today’s market, the battle isn’t just about engines and sheet metal anymore. The car of the future is a “software-defined vehicle” — a machine where much of its personality, safety, and even resale value depends on…
