The biggest car news and reviews, no BS Our free daily newsletter sends the stories that really matter directly to you, every weekday. While Big Gretch’s “Fix the damn roads!” mandate has brought an upswing in road road construction projects all over Michigan, anybody who regularly commutes (that’s a thing, believe it or not) from one of the state’s two peninsulas to the other will tell you that maintenance on the Mackinac Bridge has been a thing for much longer than that. And now there’s an upside—you know, besides that whole upkeep-makes-the-bridge-not-fall thing. Bor-ing. In this case, repairs to the…

Automotive Cadillac has already confirmed a next generation CT5, even as today’s CT4 and CT5 sunset after the 2026 model year. Now a fresh report hints the story will not end with one sedan. Citing unnamed sources, GM Authority says General Motors is developing multiple models on a new Alpha 2-2 platform that will sit beneath the new CT5 and at least one more U.S. market passenger car. If accurate, that points to another rear wheel drive based entry joining the lineup. The Lansing Grand River plant, home to CT4 and CT5 today, would benefit from the added…

Tesla has refreshed the Semi truck’s design to match the look of the revised Model Y, the Cybertruck and the Cybercab. It gets a full-width light bar, a new bumper and aero tweaks to bring its design up to date. Tesla says the truck is now more efficient, it can tow more and is “designed for autonomy.” The Tesla Semi has to be the only vehicle that we know of that received a mid-lifecycle facelift without technically being in production—only a handful have been built so far. However, that’s exactly what happened as Tesla quietly unveiled an updated Semi yesterday, which…

It’s hard to buy a bad pair of wireless earbuds these days, and with constant discounts and deals wherever you look, now is as good a time as any to splurge on the pair you’ve been eyeing.

The Citroën e-C5 Aircross has been confirmed as eligible for the Electric Car Grant (ECG) and is only the third car on sale to qualify for the larger, £3750 subsidy. While 38 sub-£37k cars have now been named eligible for the scheme, only two of those – the Ford Puma Gen-E and Ford E-Tourneo Courier – had been given the higher, £3750 amount, with the other 36 landing a £1500 discount. But now, the long-range version of Citroën’s new mid-sized electric SUV – with a claimed 422-mile range – has qualified for the top discount. Prices have not been confirmed but…

Sports cars are wonderful creations, and some of the very best hail from Britain. Not so much any more, though, as Japan seems to have taken on the task of keeping lightweight, nimble sports cars in production for the 21st century. However, wind the clocks back a few years, and it’s clear to see that the British knew a thing or two about screwing together a drop-top two-seater. Well, the screwing them together bit wasn’t actually their forte – British sports cars from all eras tend to be a bit unreliable and instead encourage owners to get familiar with their…

SEMA week is here. Some of the greatest (and some of the jankiest) builds in the automotive universe all gather in Las Vegas for one big aftermarket showdown. The cast of usual suspects are all on the show floor, with the Ringbrothers being one of the most prolific builders in attendance. Each year, Mike and Jim Ring bring something good to SEMA—for 2025, it’s the “Kingpin” 1969 Mustang Mach 1. In usual Ringbrothers fashion, this Mustang is completely redone from the ground up. It makes 800 horsepower from a Whipple-supercharged Wegner Motorsports 5.0-liter Coyote engine, and it sends power to…

Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. Recent news from New Zealand has ignited a harsh and misinformed commentary on electric buses. It appears that a petrol Subaru crashed head on into a passenger bus. Sadly, the bus driver died and the occupants of the car were injured. The callous comments on the news article are worse, sullying the memory of those affected by this tragedy. Watch the video and read the comments here. The Auckland Transport bus was engulfed in flames, provoking controversy. In the wake of the “news,” an Auckland city councillor says he’s “disappointed…

SpaceX will reportedly receive a $2 billion contract to develop satellites for the US government, according to the Wall Street Journal. The WSJ’s report detailed that SpaceX will be tasked with developing up to 600 satellites that can track missiles and aircraft and will be used for President Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome” project.Announced back in May, the president introduced a project to build an anti-missile defense system that would intercept missile attacks before reaching their target. The Golden Dome is reminiscent of Israel’s Iron Dome system, but the Pentagon has yet to reveal concrete details about the project. Considering the…
