This Cobra kit car EV conversion is truly a sight to behold. With a powertrain and battery pack sourced from a Tesla Plaid, this vehicle packs a punch with over 1,000 horsepower. The combination of power and reduced weight, at 1,450 pounds lighter than a Model S Plaid, results in acceleration that can induce whiplash. The custom controller developed by Ingenext allows the three-motor powertrain to function seamlessly in the Cobra. The result is not only impressive but also a bit intimidating. The acceleration is so intense that even with slick tires, the all-wheel-drive system struggles to put all the…
General Motors Recalls 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EVs Due to Quiet Pedestrian Warning Systems General Motors is recalling certain 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EVs because their federally mandated pedestrian warning systems may not be loud enough.

Tesla has recently announced a safety issue affecting nearly 700,000 of its vehicles, including certain Model 3s, Model Ys, and the 2024 Cybertruck.

This noncompliance with U.S. federal safety regulations posed a potential risk of accidents, as drivers may not be aware of tire issues.
