Weeks after a Tesla Model 3 sat stopped in a live Florida interstate lane and its driver was killed, it happened again — a 2020 Model 3, stopped dead on a Phoenix-area freeway at 3 a.m., rear-ended by a pickup, its driver dead at the scene. And as in the Florida case that we revealed today, no one investigating knew what Tesla’s own data shows: the car’s driver-assist system was engaged. This is part of an ongoing Electrek series matching previously reported Tesla crashes to the company’s own redacted NHTSA data. What happened on Loop 202 Just after 3 a.m.…

It’s a known fact that seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton loves the Ferrari F40. So much so that in his first official photoshoot as a Scuderia Ferrari driver, he posed next to one. More recently, he went viral for taking over the streets of Tokyo in another F40, making a full video production of his midnight shenanigans with his partner, Kim Kardashian. Today, he took to Instagram to reveal that he scored a massive barn…

The Lincoln Nautilus will get a little update three years into its model life cycle. In the interest of keeping its popular midsize SUV fresh against rivals like the sterling Lexus RX and the stylish Infiniti QX65, Lincoln will give the Nautilus some minor cosmetic changes, a few added creature comforts, and more power for the optional hybrid engine. Is that enough to keep the now-three-year-old luxury crossover design relevant to modern buyers? We think so.

Earlier this year, Hyundai did something weird. To announce that it would be bringing a pickup truck to the United States, it showed an SUV concept called the Boulder. Hyundai made it very clear that it was just a concept at the time, but, obviously, everyone that saw it has been wondering if Hyundai would build it. Australian news outlet Drive was able to chat with Hyundai’s CEO, José Muñoz, who said things that suggest the Boulder will happen. In fact, there might even be more than just a single truck and an SUV, and we may not have long…

Cycling isn’t an expensive hobby outright. But as you start getting serious, a cyclist can spend a frankly exorbitant amount of money measuring what their legs are doing. In a more professional setting, things like instrumented pedals, bike computers, heart-rate sensors, and a lot more start becoming important. All of this just helps squeeze out more information out of every ride. Now, researchers at La Trobe University (Via TechXplore) are exploring whether one piece of hardware most people already own could eventually handle a surprisingly sophisticated part of that job. This isn’t some specialized hardware either; it’s a small gadget…

The used motorcycle market has pulled off a pretty dramatic reversal. During the pandemic, shortages pushed secondhand prices high enough that buying new could genuinely make more sense. In 2026, used prices have finally cooled while the cost of walking out of a dealership with a new bike hasn’t fallen nearly as quickly. That has created a particularly attractive window where depreciation has already done plenty of damage to a motorcycle’s value, but age hasn’t done much damage to the motorcycle itself.

The folks at Ingolstadt sure knew what they were doing with the new Audi Nuvolari. Yes, in some ways it’s simply a stopgap supercar, but it’s also a reminder that the company employs passionate engineers who want to build emotionally engaging cars. Unfortunately for them, Audi is busy trying to relaunch pretty much its entire product line. As you might imagine, that makes it tricky to pitch passion projects. In times like these, Audi is looking to…

Automotive Drivers could get at least some relief at the gas pump after the Environmental Protection Agency moved to allow winter-blend gasoline to reach the market earlier than usual. The temporary federal waiver effectively ends portions of the summer gasoline requirements ahead of schedule, giving refiners, terminals, and fuel retailers more flexibility as the country deals with elevated fuel prices and supply concerns tied in part to ongoing disruptions in the Middle East. The idea is relatively simple: expand the available gasoline supply sooner and potentially take some pressure off prices at the pump. The difference between summer…
