Why autonomy isn’t Tesla’s only growth engine

In this episode of Electrified, Dylan Loomis pushes back on the claim that Tesla is “betting the entire company” on Full Self-Driving. He breaks down the real financial impact of FSD today, separating near-term software revenue from long-term autonomy, and explains why Tesla’s valuation isn’t dependent on robo-taxis alone. The discussion also covers Tesla Energy’s growing profitability, EV market penetration trends, inventory concerns, battery innovation, global competition, and why legacy automakers remain years behind Tesla’s software-first approach.

1960s turbocharged pioneer: The unlikely Chevy that broke all the rules

When looking back at the 1960s—a decade dominated by massive V8 muscle cars, roaring big-blocks, and Detroit’s “no substitute for cubic inches” philosophy—one compact car broke the mold. It was air-cooled, rear-engined, and, most surprisingly, featured a factory-installed turbocharger, signaling the first factory turbocharged Chevy to hit production lines. That car was the Chevrolet Corvair, specifically… The post 1960s Turbocharged Pioneer: The...

Why this older Suzuki hybrid is more capable than it looks

This Suzuki hybrid may look familiar, but there’s more going on underneath than most buyers realize. Its mild hybrid system does something unusual that rarely gets mentioned in the showroom. Combined with light weight and honest engineering, it delivers a driving feel many rivals have lost. There’s also a mechanical option most compact SUVs quietly dropped years ago. That alone makes it worth a second look.

Why she chose a BMW M2 DCT over a BMW M4 + Lexus GX470 overland build review

Niel upgraded from a Mini Cooper S to a BMW M2, purchasing it before the M2 CS had been unveiled. The choice between an M3, M4, or the M2 was a tough one, but the M2's appeal proved irresistible. Her license plate amusingly makes other drivers want to race her all the time. Niel's M2 is stock, offering an authentic ownership experience straight from the dealer. She shares her car adventures on Instagram @turrbokitty. If I were to own an M2, I'd consider a Stage 1 tune, smaller wheels, a valved catback exhaust, and maybe a roof wrap, though the toughest choice remains between a DCT or manual transmission. Ansrwd, a series of car reviews by real owners, offers insights not from automotive journalists like Chris Harris or Doug Demuro, but from actual enthusiasts. Cars featured in this series include models like the Gaglardi Vex, Porsche 911 GT3, McLaren 600LT, Ferrari F12/F430 and 458 Italia, Acura NSX, Corvette, FRS, BMWs, Drift Cars, and more.

I built 10 bumper cars - and they're street legal

A FAMILY has become used to turning heads while driving their fleet of 10 bumper cars on California’s roads. In this week’s episode, vehicles are taken from the amusement park to the open roads. But Tom Wright, a builder, hadn't planned on taking the first fairground ride he worked on to the streets. He told us: “The purpose at the time was to restore it to its original lustre and put it in a showroom.” However, before finishing the project he decided that he also wanted the cars to be mobile. So, Tom used his engineering skills to move them onto the open road. He explained: “I decided to convert it to a six-speed Kawasaki 550cc motor.” Making these historic vehicles roadworthy was a challenge for him, some having been out of use for 80 years. “They were sitting outside riddled with rust, 18 inches on some of the cars and had to be cut off," Tom said. The bumper cars have also been added with some special features, such as wood exteriors to reflect the area they drive through. “The wheels are custom golf cart wheels because this is a California beach community," he said. Acquiring the first car, finding the right components, making the frames and sending the bodies for paint took a year to complete. All this hard work was worth it in the end, as they are “extremely fun to drive”. When Tom takes the 10 bumpers for a spin with friends and family they turn the heads of locals. “The smiles, waves and the honks make the hobby worth doing.”
