ArcBest (ARCB), the multibillion-dollar logistics company, is purchasing two Tesla Semi electric trucks for its ABF Freight fleet after a successful 2025 pilot program that averaged 1.55 kWh per mile over 4,494 miles. The purchase marks a significant step beyond piloting and into actual fleet investment for the less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier, which is now expanding its electric Class 8 testing across a broader operating footprint. From pilot to purchase We covered ABF Freight’s Tesla Semi pilot last year, which demonstrated impressive efficiency results. Over three weeks, the electric truck logged 4,494 miles averaging 321 miles per day on routes between…

Most affordable motorcycles are bought with a clear exit strategy in mind. Riders pick them up as stepping stones to spend a season or two building confidence, and then move on to something bigger, faster, or more expensive. This pattern is especially common in the entry-level segment. However, not every bike is destined to be a short-term relationship. Sporadically, a motorcycle breaks that cycle. It enters garages as a beginner-friendly machine but refuses to leave. One year turns into three, three turns into five, and suddenly, even after your skills have grown, and your budget allows for an upgrade, that…

UPDATE: 2026/06/11 11:25 EST BY SEAN MCMANUS We have added more information regarding the cost of these models in 2026, including a price trends chart and examples of models fetching higher prices at auction. TopSpeed reviewed the 2016 Hyundai Equus when the sedan was new and compared it favorably with the original Lexus LS. This isn’t an observation to make lightly because a couple of LS superfans are on the staff. While there are some small styling similarities between the South Korean and Japanese sedans, their biggest parallel is that both models demonstrate the plans of their respective brands to…

Imagine telling ChatGPT to reorder your paper towels or find the best wireless headphones in your budget, and it just handles the purchase without you lifting a finger. That is exactly what OpenAI and Visa are now building toward. The two companies announced a strategic partnership at the Visa Payments Forum, with plans to bring Visa’s global payment infrastructure directly into OpenAI’s AI agent experiences, including ChatGPT and the Atlas browser. How will ChatGPT’s payment system work? The partnership is part of Visa’s broader Intelligent Commerce initiative, which is designed to extend secure payment capabilities into new digital spaces. When…

The Toyota Rav4 “only” sold 59,869 units in the first quarter of 2026. Some nameplates would be happy to sell that many units in a year, but the Rav4 has been the top-selling SUV in the US for close to a decade. This is a slow start for such a hot model. Toyota has been busy ramping up production for the relaunched 2026, essentially missing out on three months of potential sales for the new model, creating an opportunity for its competitors to jump ahead in rank with the Rav4 placing fifth for overall sales. Taking a look at Q1’s…

Independent auto repair shops are barely billing for a half-day’s worth of work, a gap that industry coach Murray Voth said reflects systemic operational failures rather than a lack of skilled workers. Shops are billing an average of just 4.2 hours of labour per technician during an eight-hour workday, Voth said at the AIA Canada National Conference. That shortfall represents billions of dollars in lost revenue across the aftermarket and contributes to ongoing profitability challenges for shop owners. “This is not a technician problem,” he said. “This is an operational, systemic issue in our industry.” During the session Technician or…
