Tesla Mandates Demo of Full Self-Driving Mode to New Customers

Everyone who buys a new Tesla model in North America will be required to sit through a demonstration of the company's Full Self-Driving mode. CEO Elon Musk reportedly made the new mandate in a recent email to staff that was leaked online and then confirmed by Business Insider. In his email, Musk directs Tesla staff to install and activate the latest version of FSD, which still requires the driver to actively pay attention to the road and does not make the vehicle autonomous. Along with the driver-assist functions that come with Tesla's standard Basic Autopilot and the $6000 Enhanced version, FSD—which is listed as a $12,000 option on the consumer site—currently enabl

Genesis GV60 Magma Concept Heralds a New Performance Subbrand

Along with the lavish Neolun concept, Genesis announced plans to launch a performance-focused subbrand tonight, revealing the GV60 Magma concept during an event ahead of the New York auto show. The Korean luxury brand said the sporty GV60 variant is very close to production and will hit the road soon, possibly becoming the first production vehicle under the Magma banner. The GV60 Magma concept is derived from the brand's first EV, which shares its platform with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6. The GV60's two siblings have already spawned performance models, the Ioniq 5 N and EV6 GT, with the former reaching U.S. customers for the first time later this year. Although Genesis provided no technical details on the GV60 Magma, we wouldn'

New Land Rover Defender OCTA Will Be a V-8-Powered Flagship Model - caranddriver.com - Sweden

New Land Rover Defender OCTA Will Be a V-8-Powered Flagship Model

Land Rover has announced a new flagship model to sit atop the Defender's already diverse lineup. The new model will be known as the OCTA—a name the brand derived from an eight-sided polyhedron—or octahedron. The Defender OCTA will be «the toughest, most capable, and luxurious Defender vehicle ever,» according to Land Rover. Power will come from a twin-turbocharged V-8 under the hood. We won't know exact power figures for certain until closer to the OCTA's full reveal later this year, but we think it's likely that the OCTA will feature the same 626-hp twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 found in the revamped Range Rover Sport SV. In that model, the powertrain is claimed to send the SV Edition One to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds

Genesis Neolun Concept Previews Future Luxe EV SUV, Likely Named GV90

As has become tradition at the New York auto show, Genesis presented its vision for the future at its luxurious showroom, Genesis House. The Neolun concept is a large and opulent SUV, with smooth bodywork and a decadent cabin. We believe this concept previews a future electric SUV, expected to be called the GV90, that should arrive in the coming years. Neulon Is a Large, Luxe Two-Row SUV The Neolun's name comes from the Greek word neo for new and the Latin word luna for moon. The combination and the concept's tranquil design are said to be inspired by Korean moon-shaped porcelain jars. The Neolun sports a roof rack that raises when needed but otherwise hides, sitting flush with the roof. Genesis's distinctive twin-line headlights and taillights are also integrat

Nissan is looking towards the future with a new three-year business plan that involves launching seven new models in North America. The company says it will also refresh 78 percent of its existing U.S. lineup during that time as it prepares for more electric vehicles. In the United States, Nissan plans to invest $200 million in its integrated customer experience too. That's part of its goal to increase North American sales by 330,000 units in 2026 compared with 2023. Nissan hasn't yet revealed the powertrains of the U.S.-bound vehicles. However, we know that at least some of them will be electrified, as Nissan plans to launch plug-in-hybrid models and a system called e-Power. The latter powertrain features a gas engine that acts as a generator and powers

Dodge Charger, Chrysler 300 Recalled for Risk of Exploding Airbag

Stellantis, in documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), has announced the recall of 217,802 Dodge Charger and 67,180 Chrysler 300 sedans, all from 2018 through 2021 model years. The problem is a defective side curtain airbag inflator, an issue that is predicted to affect about 1 percent of the recalled vehicles. In the recall report, Stellantis says that the «suspect inflators» were used between July 2018 and May 2021 and then were no longer used in the cars, based on production records. The automaker said that its analysis of the issue shows the vehicles «may have had moisture introduced into the inflator during supplier manufacturing that may cause internal corrosion over time and potentially leading to Stress Corrosion Cracking in the inflator.» The issue could c

McLaren's Ownership Officially Passed On to Bahrain

After years of kicking desperately below the surface to keep afloat, McLaren has been sold to Bahrain's sovereign wealth fund. Mumtalakat, as the Bahraini fund is known, was already McLaren's largest single shareholder before today, but now, the fund has taken full ownership of the McLaren Group. The change in ownership «marks a major milestone,» according to the company, and should help inject more stability into the company after multiple years of rocky production and staff layoffs. The company has been facing financial troubles since 2020. In the years since, the automaker has been forced to lay off 1200 employees, temporarily pause production, and sell both its headquarters and heritage collection of vehicles to pay for the production of the Artu
