2024 BYD Shark: The Chinese Plug-In Pickup Biden Doesn’t Want You to Have

Chinese automotive juggernaut and the world's biggest EV maker BYD has unveiled a plug-in hybrid pickup truck called the Shark destined for Mexico. The unveiling was even held in Mexico, marking the first time the company has ever done such a thing outside of China, and, coincidentally or not, the reveal came mere hours after President Biden announced big tariffs on Chinese goods, notably a quadrupling on tariffs on Chinese EVs from 25% to 100%.

2025 Kia EV6 Brings Bigger Battery, Longer Range, and Sharper Styling

The Kia EV6 has only been out for about two years, and it's still a solid EV. But unlike some EV manufacturers, Kia isn't content to let it go aeons without improvement. Instead, it's rolling out a facelift for the EV6 that improves its performance on all fronts, from range to safety, and refreshes its styling to match.

VW Is Cooking Up a Special GTI for the Hot Hatch’s 50th Birthday

The Volkswagen GTI is in a strange spot these days, it must be said. On one hand, the name is iconic for good reason—one that VW itself realized just recently it shouldn't jettison in favor of whatever «GTX» is supposed to mean. On the other, the automaker no longer offers the prototypical hot hatch with a six-speed, and it's hard to predict what, if anything, the model has in store before VW ditches internal combustion engines entirely. It's very possible we've seen the GTI's best, on the eve of the nameplate's 50th birthday. Then again, a new teaser from the brand indicates that may not be the case.

Waymo Under Investigation for Driverless Car Crashes and Traffic Violations

Cruise's pedestrian-dragging scandal last fall left Google-backed Waymo with the cleanest image in the driverless tech space. That didn't last long though, because Waymo's image began to suffer too, in part from one of the funniest crashes you'll ever read about. Now, Waymo is coming under federal scrutiny as the NHTSA probes the firm over the safety of its driving tech following a string of collisions and traffic violations.

How a Really Annoying Glitch Ruins One of the PSP’s Best Racing Games

Lately I've been revisiting the PlayStation Portable's wonderful collection of racing games, and trust me—if you've been sleeping on the old handheld all these years, you shouldn't, because it has a library that very much holds up. For racing on the go, not even the Nintendo Switch compares. One title I've only recently explored is Codemasters' PSP port of Colin McRae Rally 2005, and it's astonishingly deep. It's revelatory having one of the finest rally games ever made in the palm of your hand. And yet, it has a debilitating bug that ruins everything. Allow me to explain.

Someone Ruined a 113-Year-Old Landmark in Death Valley Winching Out Their Stuck Car

I feel like I've written this story before. People apparently can't help themselves from driving where they shouldn't in Death Valley National Park. This time, it tore up the terrain as well as a historic landmark that stood previously for 113 years.

Oops: Tesla Is Re-Hiring Some Charging Personnel Musk Laid Off

The last several months at Tesla have been rockier than almost any in the company's history, with high-profile recalls, a weak launch for the Cybertruck, and underwhelming sales. Layoffs seemed to only turn the heat up on Tesla, which left everyone wondering what its plan was after liquidating its Supercharger network team. As it turns out, there was no plan, because Tesla is reportedly re-hiring some of the charging personnel it dismissed.
