Although statistics show electric vehicles are less likely to catch fire than gas-powered cars, some brands seem to get in the news more often because their cars burnt. BYD is one such brand, with many vehicle fires reported in recent years. However, this might simply be because the brand sells more vehicles than other brands. Electric vehicles have a bad reputation when it comes to vehicle fires despite the fact they are far less likely. ( continue reading.

Tesla Cybertruck's gigawiper has puzzled people since the first prototypes were spotted wearing it. The gigantic contraption is again in the spotlight after Cybertruck owners started complaining that the wiper motors were failing. The issues started popping out as storms and bad weather put a strain on the wiper assemblies. Early prototypes of the Cybertruck lacked wipers and side mirrors, and many Tesla fans considered that a cool f. ( continue reading.

Tesla's first all-electric pickup truck – the Cybertruck – looks like nothing else on the road today. Some would even call it the supercar of the pickup truck world because it has that divisive exterior design. That's not all there is to it, though. The EV has many more cool tricks up its sleeve. But if you can't enjoy your $100,000+ ride, then all that fancy stuff might no longer impress you.

Produced from 1970 to 1974, the first-generation Dodge Challenger was the shortest-lived Mopar of the golden era. It also spent only two years on the muscle car market because Chrysler discontinued its high-compression big-block engines in 1971. Despite all this, the Challenger is one of the most iconic performance rigs of the early 1970s. ( continue reading.

A Tesla Cybertruck owner discovered that the truck would not fit inside the building, so he tried to resell it. He went the official way to satisfy the no-resale clause in the sales contract, asking Tesla for permission. However, Tesla would not buy it back nor allow him to sell the Cybertruck to a third party. Tesla started deliveries of the Cybertruck in November 2023, and interest in the outlandish pickup truck skyrocketed.
