Porsche has a chance to make electric cars fun. Will it seize the moment or just follow the trend with its new electric Porsche 718 model?
Electric mobility
Ah, Honda. Its electric story has so far been more reminiscent of a Mexican afternoon soap opera than a strategically clear path to sustainable mobility. Just think of Honda's Model E – a small electric car that looked like a cute retro toy from the 1980s, drove like a go-kart, but had a range comparable to the average battery-powered toy from a children's store. And on top of that, it was so expensive that many people checked to see if the price was in Japanese yen. This time they're serious: Honda 0 SUV
Elon Musk is preparing the biggest user experience update in Tesla history. Tesla Grock, a smart assistant with personality and humor, is coming to your Tesla, ready to give you the orders. And, believe me, he will be much nicer than your constantly smart-ass passenger! We will finally get a talking car with character.
The electric war between the American automotive giants is in full swing, with more twists and dramatic twists than the average Netflix series. General Motors has clearly hit the nail on the head with its electric Hummer, and is now breathing down the neck of Ford's famous F-150 Lightning, which is struggling with declining sales. Meanwhile, politicians are mixing up controversial moves, consumers are speculating whether they will return to the good old V8 engines, and South Koreans are surprisingly no longer finding the electric formula for success. So let's take a closer look at who plays the main role in this electric soap opera (GMC Hummer) and who will have to accept the roles of extras.
If the saying goes that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then in the case of Mercedes’ electric flagship EQS, it’s more than obvious that most of those beholders have poor eyesight. Or they’re simply not fans of giant, luxurious jelly beans. I’ll admit that I don’t think the EQS is bad in person at all – but hey, I’m clearly in a small, weird minority. It may not have the imposing presence of the S-Class, but the EQS was never intended to be a direct successor to the legendary king of the road. Perhaps we’ve been a little too harsh on it?

Autonomous car delivery?! Tesla has done what Hollywood screenwriters have dreamed of since Knight Rider: a shiny new Model Y rolled off the assembly line in Texas and drove itself to its owner's driveway - without a driver, without a remote control, without panicked hands on the steering wheel. It was the first autonomous car delivery. With this, Elon Musk's company made the first fully autonomous vehicle delivery in history and showed in the middle of a hot asphalt afternoon that the future sometimes comes a day earlier than the official schedule says.
If you've ever thought Tesla was reserved for tech gurus, crypto-earners, and people who have more space in their garage than you do in your living room, we've got good news for you: the Tesla Model Q is coming—or, according to some sources, the Model 2. Whatever it's called, it's a compact electric SUV that could become what the Ford Model T once was: a symbol of affordable mobility—with the addition of autopilot, OTA updates, and an app that knows more about your route than you do.
Have you ever wanted an electric car to wake you up with such a brutal noise that the neighbor's dog would turn over in his dog bed again? Mercedes-AMG says: "No problem." With the Mercedes-AMG GT XX Concept - a four-door, orange arrow powered by a trio of axial-flux electric motors and capable of reaching 1,000 kW in ten seconds - the Germans have turned into the future with the full weight of the hammer. This is loud! Although quiet!
If you heard the soft screeching of tires on South Congress Avenue on Sunday, June 22, you weren’t dreaming—these were the first Tesla Robotaxi to begin ferrying passengers without a traditional driver behind the wheel in Austin. After nearly a decade of Musk’s enthusiastic predictions, the futuristic promise has become an everyday reality; and at a price that’s truly… well, ridiculously affordable.
After a decade of promises, Tesla began picking up paying passengers in driverless robo-taxis in downtown Austin on Sunday, June 22. The vehicles are operating only in a limited area as the state prepares to tighten regulations on autonomous vehicles.
Do electric cars really break down more often? A new mega-survey from What Car? magazine surveyed nearly 30,000 drivers to measure which drivetrains end up in tow most often. The result? The mantra of fewer moving parts has been overturned by a tow truck—but before you pull the charging cable out of the wall, let's look at the numbers.
