Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that flying cars will be coming to the market, something that his own company has hinted at previously. Musk said on X, in response to a post that read, “We were promised flying cars and all we got is infinite superintelligence for everyone,” “You will get flying cars.” You will get flying cars — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 12, 2026 The post rang back to when Musk teased flying and hovering capabilities for the Tesla Roadster, the company’s supercar that has been delayed more times than anyone cares to count. It was set for an…
The Brabus Bodo roadster has been teased for the first time. The car, which is basically an open-top version of the Bodo V12 “Hyper-GT”, will be presented at Monterey Car Week on August 14. Unlike the coupe, which was finished in a sinister-looking all-black spec, the roadster is likely to be all-white. The teaser provides a glimpse of the front fascia, with its white grille and smoked headlamp clusters. The open-top Brabus Bodo is expected to be based on the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante. We might see a similar design featuring a long hood, a massive low-slung grille and an…
While Toyota continues to be America’s undisputed hybrid vehicle sales leader, Kia has also been capitalizing on the hybrid boom. The Korean carmaker keeps setting U.S. sales records courtesy of its growing hybrid lineup, which now also includes the flagship Telluride. After spending a week with it, I’m convinced this is the best Telluride yet. It’s smoother, quicker, and more efficient than the first-gen model. With the engine now paired with a small battery and a pair of electric motors, the Telluride Hybrid makes more horsepower and torque while burning far less fuel. It’s also bigger inside and out, with…
Sweden’s largest industrial union, IF Metall, is calling off its strike against Tesla after 1,021 days, the longest labor conflict in modern Swedish history. The union says it’s stopping because Tesla bought out every one of its striking members, leaving the walkout with nothing left to withhold. The dispute started in October 2023 over a single demand: that Tesla sign a Swedish collective bargaining agreement for its mechanics. Nearly three years later, Tesla still hasn’t signed one. And now the union is standing down. IF Metall announced today that it’s ending all conflict measures against Tesla effective 00:01 on August…

Ford’s Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky made gas-powered cars for more than 70 years. Now it has been converted to make fully electric models only, starting with the Fathom next year. Retooling is a massive undertaking which Ford finished in less than a year. Ford’s slow drip of new information about the $30,000 Fathom electric truck continues with yet another update. The Dearborn automaker said Thursday that its Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky has completed a $2 billion retooling for the Fathom’s production. The massive undertaking took less than a year after the plant stopped building the Escape and Lincoln…
A heavily camouflaged Audi Q5 prototype could be an early test mule for Porsche’s next-generation gas-powered SUV. The new model is expected to share the PPC platform with the Q5 but receive Porsche-specific chassis, suspension, steering, and design. The combustion-powered SUV is expected around 2028 and likely will not carry the Macan name. A fully camouflaged Q5 prototype could be hiding much more than just an experimental version of Audi’s popular compact SUV. The vehicle, spotted in spy photos published on Instagram, could actually be our first look at Porsche’s new mid-size SUV—the successor to the combustion-powered Macan. But let’s…
The wait for Rivian’s first electric bike just got a little bit shorter. After months of delays, ALSO has informed reservation holders that they’ll finally be able to place pre-orders for the company’s highly anticipated TM-B electric bike starting August 18. It’s welcome news for the unknown number of people who put down reservations, though it’s hard to ignore just how far the timeline has slipped. When ALSO first unveiled the TM-B last year, the company targeted Spring 2026 deliveries. Spring has now come and gone, and with Summer well upon us now, reservation holders are only now getting the…
Many truck owners will consider a lift-kit upgrade at some point during their ownership. Lift kits are one of the most popular modifications for truck owners, and offer changes in ground clearance, off-road capability, and aesthetics. As with any modification, however, there can be downsides. Before investing in a lift kit, we encourage drivers to do their own research and consider their own driving conditions. Types of Lift Kits Lift kits come in two types: body lift kits and suspension lift kits. Both increase the distance between the vehicle’s body and the ground, but they do so in different ways.…
Grindstone Media Group/Shutterstock It’s bad enough that Flock cameras and other license plate readers are conducting mass surveillance, not just license plates but other identifying markings as well. Even worse is how frequently errors take place, with significant effects on innocent people. Friend-of-the-site Joel Feder, Director of Content & Product at The Drive, brought a great deal of attention to this issue after his own detention in a press car Range Rover that was incorrectly identified as stolen. Though certainly a harrowing experience, Feder had it relatively easy compared to some. Police were willing to have a discussion with him rather than…
