A Tesla running the latest version of “Full Self-Driving” failed to stop at an active railroad crossing this week and nearly drove straight into a passing train, according to the driver and as evidenced in dashcam footage. The kicker: it was running FSD v14.3.7, the newest build Tesla has released — and it’s at least the third time this year that Electrek has documented FSD trying to drive a Tesla into a train. FSD kept going as the train horns blared Lei Xing, a well-known auto journalist and co-host of the China EVs & More podcast, shared dashcam video of…
2024 SubaruCrosstrek8,370 milesAutomaticPetrol2.0LCash £25,995View CrosstrekIts on-road performance is hit and miss, but it’s off the beaten track that the Crosstrek really shines.

If you are late to the pre-teen suburban e-moto scene, we’ve been wading through the exploding market of low-cost Sur-Ron competitors over the past months. While we can all debate the safety and legality issues these bikes bring, the reality is that they are incredibly popular and useful for those who can get around their neighborhoods and back roads and are comfortable hitting speeds up to and above 40mph. Enter the low cost $1299 Qronge X1 Spark L. Qronge has spent the last couple of years building a reputation the way most budget e-bike brands do: undercut an established category…

Illinois just signed a sweeping new electric bicycle law that, among many other changes, finally answers a question that has been hanging over the rapidly growing market for high-powered electric bikes: What exactly are we supposed to do with all of these 35 and 40 mph “e-bikes” that don’t fit into the normal three-class electric bicycle system? The answer, at least in Illinois, is to treat them more like motorcycles. It’s a solution to a growing issue in the e-bike industry, which spans a wide range of electric two-wheelers. Even the term itself has become problematic, as “e-bikes” has been…

Oh, and it runs ads the entire time. If losing your job to an autonomous dog robot isn’t quite dystopian enough for your tastes, have you considered putting a furry tail, MAGA red hat, and two TVs that run nothing but ads on it? Robot.com certainly have, and they’re hoping that the robot’s expressive “eyes” and chunky aesthetics of the R-dog delivery robot concept they…
The Pagani Zonda Cervino was recently spotted in London. Automotive photographer Freddie Atkins even got to ride in the passenger seat of this one-off hypercar. The Zonda Cervino is actually based on the Oliver Evo Roadster chassis. The current owner, @whitessejr purchased the car and got it rebuilt and customised to his preferences through Pagani’s Unico programme. The Zonda Cervino carries forward much of the sporty exterior bits of the donor car, but the new colour combination gives it a more classy look. It has a two-tone exterior in metallic blue and exposed carbon fibre, while the interior has been…
