The Tesla could be heading for a 100-mile advantage. The Tesla Model Y already has the edge over its competitors when it comes to range, having received a range increase last year. Currently, the Long Range has a range of 326 miles and the Performance variant - which can get to 60 mph in only 3.5 seconds - isnt too far behind with a range of 303 miles. However, the Model Y cant yet match other Teslas like the Model 3 (maximum range of 353 miles) and the Model S (up to a claimed 520 miles). This...

This could get messy. California is probably the most electric vehicle-friendly state in the country and its policies reflect that. You can hardly go five minutes without spotting a Tesla Model 3 on the road. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has issued stricter emissions standards than the feds require for years and announced just last year that itll be the first state to ban sales of new passenger vehicles with internal combustion engines beginning in 2035. Other states have since fol...

Why did it take so long? No automaker is perfect, though some so-called Tesla fanboys will wholeheartedly disagree. Mistakes happen and its up to that company to rectify them in a timely manner. Unfortunately, its taken Tesla far too long to settle the little matter of double charging several customers. The fiasco began earlier this year when CNBC uncovered far too many instances where buyers, many of whom purchased a new Tesla Model Y, were charged twice for their purchases without notice or a...

2021s first delivery numbers are in. Those who thought Tesla could soon lose its status as the worlds most valuable automaker couldnt be more wrong. Since beating out Toyota for that title last summer, Tesla has been on a roll and its continuing in 2021. For the first three months of the year, Tesla posted record deliveries despite the many challenges automakers continue to face as the world tries to emerge from the coronavirus pandemic. It also defied Wall Street expectations. "We are encourag...

This time out of Miami Beach. Despite increasing competition, Tesla remains the worlds leading producer of EVs and is also at the forefront of autonomous driving technologies. Tesla cars have been making headlines for their ability, or inability, to safely and autonomously pilot their occupants to and fro. After a massive investigation, the US auto safety agency recently announced that claims of sudden unintended acceleration (SUA) incidents by Tesla owners were unfounded, but it seems that som...

Unlike Ford whos encouraging the practice. The new 2021 Ford F-150 was the unexpected hero last week across Texas. Widespread power outages occurred throughout the state following a devastating winter storm and millions of Texans were left without power or the ability to heat their homes. Enter the F-150 and its Pro Power Onboard generator. This innovative and brilliant feature was able to provide sufficient juice to power many home appliances, such as space heaters. The F-150 isnt the only new...

Orders have ended for the Standard Range. And thats that. Tesla is no longer offering the cheapest Model Y trim only a month after it launched. The Tesla Model Y Standard Range RWD has been removed from the automakers online configurator. With an EPA-estimated range of 244 miles and a starting price tag of $41,990, the Standard Range RWD could have been a relatively affordable way for many to enter the world of Tesla ownership. Those still keen to do so will now have to pony up at least $48,990...

The review over sudden unintended acceleration has been closed. No new car or truck is perfect but some are certainly better than others. Take Tesla, for example. The electric vehicle automaker has not only changed the auto industry forever but also altered the automobile itself with its advanced battery-electric powertrains and over-the-air-updates. Safety has been another key area for CEO and co-founder Elon Musk since day one, though systems like Autopilot have hindered that. But when report...

This should be a hit. Tesla is an absolute powerhouse. Following news of it becoming the worlds most valuable automaker, its allure has become even greater, and with CEO Elon Musk now the richest man in the world, there are no signs of the EV producer slowing down anytime soon. One of its most attractive offerings is the practical Model Y, and everybody wants one. Now, everybody and their cousin will want one, since it just became more affordable and more practical. A rear-wheel-drive offering ...

Act fast. The clock is ticking. Tesla has had an amazing year. While 2020 may not have been the best for most residents of this planet, the Californian company became the worlds most valuable automaker, began the construction of two new factories, and started testing its full self-driving (FSD) technology in beta ahead of a general rollout early next year. The automaker is also currently racing against time to achieve its end-of-year-goal of a record 500,000 deliveries this year. Earlier this m...
