At the risk of sounding like a cynical, middle-aged guy from the East Coast, it’s rare that I stumble across something on social media that I haven’t seen before. I can still play the AOL dial-up squeal in my head from memory, OK? I’ve seen some Internet. So when Caleb…

If the experience of driving an electric vehicle simply isn’t engaging enough for you, several automakers are working to address that problem—including Ford. That’s what we’ve learned this week, as a patent application dating back to 2023 from the Blue Oval was recently published. The document describes a gear lever…
With one junked car at a time, Toyota looks to reduce, reuse, and recycle its way into another profit stream while keeping trash out of well, actual streams. We’ve seen plenty of press releases describing sustainability and other green initiatives, but we have not seen many automakers talking about taking…
Chrome 24-inch wheels on an SUV used to be something you’d only see in music videos. Now, they’re standard equipment on mom-spec family taxis. Maybe that’s part of the reason these trucks look cooler to me on basic steel wheels lately. We don’t see that too often anymore—it can be…
We’ve seen our fair share of fifth-generation Chevy Camaros that received the vintage treatment. While there’s an occasional home run, the majority tend to suffer from questionable execution, to put it gently. Fortunately, this 2015 Camaro redone as a ’69 Chevelle is a sterling example of the former—and it’s headed…
Las Vegas news outlets are reporting that multiple cars were found on fire at a Tesla service center around 2:45 a.m. Tuesday morning, apparently set ablaze by “an individual” but nobody has been named responsible as of this writing. One video making the rounds appears to show a Model Y…

If you need more proof that electronic driving aids don’t make a car autonomous, here it is. YouTuber Mark Rober put his Tesla Model Y’s Autopilot technology to the test by setting up a Looney Toons-style trap. Rober set up styrofoam wall with a picture of a road on it,…
Don’t let their cutesy demeanor fool you. Competition in the commercial electric van space is getting fierce. Kia has a lineup of configurable cargo vans (though still in concept form) and Rivian opened up its van order books to non-Amazon buyers for the first time. Not to be outdone, and…
Too much of a good thing is real. With cars, too many goodies means real expensive. Then subscriptions happened and owners became annoyed. And, according to a recent study, everyone still is. Smartcar, which develops platform/app management for connected cars, released its annual report on the current state of in-car…
GMC’s full-size SUV gains a new flagship off-road trim All Yukon models get a new dash with a massive central screen Air suspension convincingly hides the Yukon’s trucky platform In its new AT4 Ultimate trim, the 2025 GMC Yukon tries hard to do a lot of things, many of which…
About 30,000 2022 and 2023 Ford Mustangs were recalled last year for shaky steering. The electric power-assisted system was “providing unintended steering assist” which translated to a vibration in the driver’s hands. Not great! Free repairs were rendered by dealers, but unfortunately, it looks like 300 or so owners got…
I don’t know about you, but I’m over the whole robot thing. Sure, it’s neat when they climb stairs, play soccer, or shoot basketballs, but have none of these scientists and engineers seen Terminator? Don’t they know they’re actively building our inevitable doom? I wish these people would stop, but…
Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle are backing a nationwide right-to-repair bill that would guarantee independent shops the same access to data and tools as dealerships. If it becomes a law, the bill could make repairing a car cheaper and more convenient. Known as the Right to…
There was a time not that long ago when people thought the electric car takeover was imminent. I’m not talking about any time in the last five, 10, or even 20 years—I’m talking about the 1990s. General Motors made quite a few believers with the EV-1, an almost revolutionary vehicle…
Free car software updates are commonplace in today’s auto industry, especially for electric vehicles. Hardware updates are a different story, though. Car companies don’t usually issue a physical part upgrade unless it’s part of a recall. But now, Volvo and Polestar are doing something a little unprecedented by offering a…
Big win for lawyers today, and a much smaller win for Mazda owners who were involved in a class-action lawsuit regarding faulty infotainment systems.
