But the Swedish automaker is ready for when the laws change. Whenever a European luxury automaker reveals a new model, we are reminded of our terrible headlight regulations. Europen-spec vehicles are allowed to have adaptive headlights, which can run high beams by default, and carve out specific light segments using matrix LED technology instead of blinding oncoming motorists. Though it is far from the first car to have these headlights, the 2021 Polestar 2 deserves some attention here. These P...

The price mightve stayed the same, but the customization hasnt. The C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has been a revelation for the brand, not only in terms of performance but also its poster-car appeal. However, the first year of deliveries was fraught with problems, from quality control issues to frunk lids opening while driving. Production delays due to the pandemic didnt exactly help, either. There was good news for many that their unfulfilled 2020 orders rolled over to 2021, and 2021 prices w...

On Friday, Teslas stock rallied ahead of the companys admission to the S&P 500, closing at $695 per share and propelling the companys total market capitalization to about $660 billion - eleven times the market cap of Detroit-based rival General Motors, as of this writing. And yet, as much as the company is thriving on the stock exchange, Tesla cant seem to keep on top of its Giga Berlin construction project, which has experienced numerous hiccups since construction first s...

The original batch sold out in just ten minutes. As the auto industry continues its shift towards battery electrics, some automakers have the immense challenge of convincing dealerships their future product plans will appeal to longtime customers. Cadillac is the perfect example. Out of 880 US dealers, around 150 chose to take General Motors buyout offer rather than investing over $200,000 in infrastructure upgrades to accommodate EVs, the 2022 Cadillac Lyriq being the first of many. GMC dealer...

Because customer demand has never been greater. America loves trucks, plain and simple. Even throughout the coronavirus pandemic, truck sales have remained strong for all three Detroit automakers.

A total of $70 million is being invested at the Tonawanda, New York engine plant and over $6 million into its Parma, Ohio metal ...

For instance, black remains one of the favored choices for luxury vehicle buyers. If youve ever seen a Rolls-Royce Phantom or Audi A8 cruise by in a stealthy black, its clear why this is the case. Following silver at 9% are blue (7%), red (5%), and brown/beige (3%). Interestingly, Torch Red was the most popular color choice for the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette, but only 7% of compact/sport car owners in the US chose red. In North America specifically, 30% of new vehicles were painted in white, with ...

Despite a prior $34k repair bill, this Model 3 was sold with a clean title. Although buying a second-hand vehicle is tempting from a financial perspective, it comes with a whole range of risks. A man by the name of Luke Jackson found this out the hard way after he purchased a used 2018 Tesla Model 3 for cash from a dealership in Florida. While his 9,000-mile Model 3 appeared to be in great condition and came with a clean title, Jackson found out months later that his vehicle had been involved i...
