"I can't say they didn't do it, all I can say is they haven't demonstrated that they have."

The design of the Juke EV is quite something. It's a toned-down version of the dramatic Hyper Punk concept unveiled in 2024, but it's still going to be an unusual visual presence out on the road.

Davine Greene, a nursing student, described her car as 'the bane of my existence' and called it 'probably the worst decision I've ever made, like, financially speaking.'

Porter complained about difficulties when trying to insert lines in Excel. (Which, to be fair to Microsoft, is relatively straightforward - need to insert a row? Right-click on a selected row. Need to insert a line in text? Alt+Return is probably going to be your friend.) But then Porter turned to that other productivity stalwart, Word. "Never underestimate Microsoft's ability to make things more complicated," he said.

the automation of heavy machinery enabled plants to operate continuously, increasing productivity and revenue. The downside was that any small hiccup was acutely felt, cascading through the production line. At first, it was assumed that inadequate lubrication of factory equipment was causing parts to seize up or break apart. And so, the Lubrication and Wear Group of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, along with the Iron

Vintage cars, especially pickups and SUVs, are usually made from two parts: a standalone chassis and a body that bolts on top of the chassis. So why not swap the original underpinnings with something more modern, while retaining the classic look of the original bodywork? That's exactly what the United Kingdom's Electric Classic Cars thought of doing, and it might just supercharge the EV conversion world.

It's helpful to know that the lack of physical buttons isn't just a trend pushed by designers-the bean counters like it, too. It's quicker-and therefore cheaper-during assembly to just fit a capacitive touch module that controls multiple settings or switches than it is to have individual buttons, each connected to a wiring loom. Which is why we're seeing the controls for heating and cooling the interior, the headlights, seat heaters, and more move from knobs and dials and sliders and buttons to touch panels.

General Motors has one of the broadest electric-vehicle lineups in the United States, spanning everything from compact crossovers to full-size trucks. But the manufacturer is already preparing the next stage of its EV evolution, and some changes will even appear on the 2028 Cadillac Escalade IQ. GM plans to roll out next-generation software with that model, which is also expected to be the first to feature lidar for more advanced autonomous driving capabilities and conversational AI.

General Motors is working to reduce the cost of its electric vehicles, beyond just using cheaper lithium-ion batteries, the automaker said Tuesday during its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 earnings call. The update comes just as the automaker booked over $7 billion in charges related to cutting down its EV ambitions last year, which includes things like contract cancellation fees and converting its Orion, Michigan, EV assembly plant for the production of full-size gas trucks and SUVs.

It's an architectural breakthrough for us in terms of how we build the car, Anders Bell, the Chief Engineering and Technology Officer at Volvo Cars, told InsideEVs in an interview at the EX60 debut event. It's a massive [improvement], we save a lot of weight, we save a lot of cost, which is important because that means we can lower the price for the customers and sell more BEVs, he added.

They argue that all the equipment it loses in the quest for improved affordability is enough to make it not worth considering. But is that really true? Most of the criticism boils down to one idea: Tesla cut comfort and convenience features and that all adds up to make it feel cheap. So I treated the Standard like a normal car for almost two weeks, waiting for the moment it started to feel compromised and like a bad choice. It never came.

Lamborghini has always represented the extreme edge of automotive performance. Every model produced by the brand is designed around speed, stability and unmistakable visual identity. Nothing in a Lamborghini is accidental, and this applies equally to exterior aerodynamic components. One of the most important yet often misunderstood elements is the rear spoiler. A Lamborghini spoiler is not simply an aesthetic addition. It is a functional component that plays a measurable role in how the car behaves at speed.
