The 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance owned by Bjørn Nyland is making headlines once again, this time for showing a higher than expected capacity loss at 182,000 km (113,000 miles). This comes as a surprise, considering that Nyland sold the car in 2021 with only 8% degradation at around 80,000 km (49,000 miles). The significant increase in capacity loss has raised concerns about the impact of frequent fast-charging on the battery. Nyland attributes the higher degradation to his charging habits, as he frequently used free Supercharging during his ownership of the vehicle. He estimates that the total usable capacity of…
The Woodlands Township in Texas has recently thrown its hat in the ring for The Boring Company’s tunneling challenge.

However, the latest news from Lamborghini’s CEO confirms that the brand’s first electric vehicle is now dead before it even had a chance to arrive. The original plan was to launch a high-riding electric two-door vehicle in 2028 or 2029, but the project has officially been cancelled. While the electric vehicle may be off the table for now, there is still hope for a different powertrain option. It is now rumored that the vehicle could still be produced with a plug-in hybrid powertrain instead. This decision makes sense, especially considering the recent news of the softened 2035 EU gas car…

Tesla is currently embroiled in a legal battle with California’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) over allegations that the electric vehicle maker misled consumers with exaggerated claims about the capabilities of its driver-assistance software. The lawsuit, filed on February 13, aims to overturn a state ruling that labeled Tesla as a “false advertiser.” The dispute stems from a decision made by the state’s Office of Administrative Hearings in December 2025, which found that Tesla’s use of terms like “Autopilot” and “Full Self-Driving” violated California law. Despite initially facing the threat of having its manufacturing and sales licenses suspended, Tesla was…
