Watch a Nissan LEAF Plus Outrun a Tesla Model S
The Nissan LEAF is such a mainstream car, I often forget it's electric. That's a shame, really, because it's actually a pretty great little electric car, with just a touch more range than the more popular Tesla Model 3 at a lower asking price. Compared to the bigger, even more expensive Model S, the LEAF not only seems like it's playing in a different league-- it's playing a … [Read more...] about Watch a Nissan LEAF Plus Outrun a Tesla Model S

When the company secured more than a billion dollars' worth of funding from Saudi investors, though, that view started to change.

5 Best Electrified Supercars You Can Buy in 2019
The future of transportation is definitely electric, but there are still a few gear heads who can't (or won't) wrap their brains around the idea that electrified cars can be just as fast as their gas-guzzling, big-cube, V8 counterparts. Or, in many cases, much, much faster-- at least in a straight drag race, that is.

Recycled Hawtness: Tesla Heart and Classic, Mercury Soul
Although it's gone now, there was a time-- post-war America in the late 1940s-early 1950s, to be precise-- that Mercury made the hottest cars in all the land. The '51 remains a high watermark of industrial design, but the split-window '49 is not to be ignored. That's especially true of the '49 Mercury you see here. That's because this Mercury has a secret: it's a … [Read more...] about Recycled Hawtness: Tesla Heart and Classic, Mercury Soul
Tesla Model S Widebody Launched at SEMA
Say what you will about Elon Musk-- whether you think he's a hero or a con man-- but you can't deny that his Tesla Model S is a serious machine. The car is seriously expensive, seriously quick, and seriously scaring the pants off of longtime segment-leaders Mercedes-Benz.
