Yes, as we mentioned, the Tesla Model 3 has the ability to drive itself. It is not fully autonomous yet, but according to the American automakers, it will become more capable with time. It can drive itself, park, change lanes, and soon, it will be able to recognize and react to traffic lig
When Tesla owners are out and about and need a quick top-up or are planning long road trips, Supercharger stations are invaluable. Tesla’s supercharger stations can fully charge even the biggest Tesla EV batteries in under 1.5 hours with an 80% charge in about half an h
In order to retain the Miata's 50/50 weight distribution, Zero EV fit the Hper9 motor along with a prototype 1.8:1 reduction gearbox in the car's original transmission tunnel. The EV inverter, controllers, and 26kWh battery pack are all neatly tucked away up front in the engine
For owners who want to see how far into the wilderness the Hummer can take them, they'll be treated to features that even some of the most extreme rock crawlers lack. For example, the Ultravision feature provides real-time camera angles of the underbody of the truck to allow drivers to see what they're driving over. Should one find themselves on a particularly tricky trail, Extract mode allows the entire vehicle to lift itself a further 6 inches to gain added cleara
Add in all the videos online showing Tesla seven-seaters challenging legit supercars and it's safe to say my interest has been piqued for a while now. But up until recently, I'd only ever sat in a Model X (in the backseat, mostly to check out the Falcon Wing door debacle ). So when my friend Ryan announced that he had scheduled a real-life Tesla Model 3 " touchless test drive " last week, I jumped at the chance to join in on the
As everything can be controlled via the touch-screen and voice command, there are only 2 physical buttons in the entire car. Some have criticized this, but this allows you to change settings far more intuitively. Remember when people first criticized the touch-screen on mobile phones? Now, it’s on almost every phone out th
One way to find a more accurate measure of how much range a Tesla actually has is to pull up the energy graph in the app settings. The energy graph can pull more accurate range estimates based on recent miles dri
With all this talk about EVs being the future, it's easy to get caught up in what a lot of companies are really trying to do. Gittin Jr. mentions that he and Ford aren't necessarily trying to replace internal combustion cars with this vehicle, but simply using it to educate people about there being other opti
It can be tempting to always have an EV fully charged and ready to go at all times but that may not be the best for long term battery health. Experts recommend limiting the Model 3 or any EV’s battery charge to 80% or 90% unless the driver is going on a road trip and actually needs the full battery charge. Owners can set the limit in the car settings or app setti
I pulled over to give Ryan a chance for some more scientific test driving—this being his potential purchase, after all. Plus, I figured he needed to try burning rubber and throw in some hard-angled steering himself. Sure enough, turning off Beverly Glen onto Santa Monica Boulevard, he managed to do just that. And then again turning off Santa Monica onto Century Park
Finally, the Crabwalk feature we previewed earlier today demonstrates GMC's understanding that sometimes the only way out is sideways with rear-wheel steering. This truck isn't just about off-roading though, as it should be a capable daily driver to and from the office as w
Some might think that since the Model 3 is an electric car, it can’t possibly go that fast, but it is actually as quick as a Ferrari 488 GTB. Also, the range is often an issue in electric cars, but the Model 3 can travel up to 310 miles per charge, and it only takes 15 minutes to recharge to 172 miles. We really are living in the future! Today, we have compiled a list of 15 amazing things that the Tesla Model 3 can do. Let’s get straight to
They get to talking about how unlike most production EV cars, the Mach-E actually has seven motors – three stacked in the front and four in the back. Concering the motors, while Gittin Jr. claims that "when they go, they’re whining like crazy," they still wanted to create a sound that would help the Mach-E stand out from the pack. The pro drifter confirms two ways they did this: first, teaming up with Harman for the speakers; second, working personally with American rapper T-Pain to develop the sound its
