The Tesla Roadster is “Go for launch”. The American EV maker has just dropped a teaser confirming the launch date for its new electric sports car. It’s been 9 years since the Tesla Roadster was first showcased. Finally, we will get to see the production version on October 1, 2026. Tesla claims that its all-new electric sports car will be “the quickest vehicle in the world, with record-setting acceleration, range and performance.” We first got a glimpse of the prototype Roadster in November 2017. At the time, Tesla was charging $200,000 for the base variant and $250,000 for the Founders…
Porsche 718 Boxster (Source: Porsche) Porsche was seen testing its upcoming 718 Boxster at the Nürburgring, the famous and grueling race track in Germany. It’s the first we’ve seen the vehicle uncamouflaged, and comes after Porsche’s new CEO quashed rumors of the model’s cancellation. Porsche has been gradually electrifying its vehicle line, offering more and more powerful EVs. As of now, the most powerful Porsche ever is electric, and there’s more to come. But so far, Porsche has been reticent to electrify its sportiest models. Despite coming out with the Taycan, a high-performance sport sedan, and extremely powerful electric versions…
A drone strike shut down Saudi Arabia’s East-West oil pipeline this week, knocking roughly 5 million barrels a day offline. That’s about 5% of global supply, and it pushed Brent crude above $104. US diesel is at record highs. That’s the fossil fuel crisis making headlines. The quieter one is on your own utility bill, and it’s not getting better either. The East-West line, also called Petroline, is the pipe Saudi Arabia uses to move crude to the Red Sea and skip the Strait of Hormuz. With Hormuz already choked and the Houthis squeezing Red Sea shipping, that bypass was…

The first was the tyre-pressure warning system alerting us to an underinflation problem. While this wasn’t a fault as such, when we stopped at the beginning of our return journey (to make sure the tyres were cold when checked), all four were at the correct pressure. Just before the warning had popped up we’d been unable to avoid a pothole, so maybe that activated the sensor – but luckily…
A new fleet of British-designed and built battery electric trains has been announced, promising thousands of new jobs, faster and more reliable rail service, and significant reductions in carbon emissions across northern England. Often the butt of jokes for its frequent delays and confusing ticketing practices, the British rail system is set to receive a significant upgrade thanks to a broader series of transit contracts totaling more than €1.2 billion. Those upgrades will see Alstom and TransPennine Express will deploy 29 fully electric Adessia Stream electric trains, which will be the first of their kind to be put to work…
A black VW Jetta had a device capable of hiding its license plate, and CHP says the driver admitted exactly why CHP stopped a black VW Jetta equipped with a license plate-hiding device. The driver allegedly admitted using it specifically to avoid paying tolls. California law prohibits devices designed to obscure license plates. Some drivers will go to remarkable lengths to avoid paying a toll. According to the California Highway Patrol, one Volkswagen Jetta driver went considerably further than forgetting to top up their FasTrak account. CHP’s Solano office says officers recently stopped the driver of a black VW Jetta…
