John Cena was not officially announced quick xthe latest installment in the billion dollar Fast & Furious franchise. Series devotees thought Cena’s Jakob Toretto would return after his debut F9, as he made peace with older brother Dom (the Vin Diesel character whose speeches about family are as much a staple of these films as crazy car chases). The photos of seven seemed to confirm this. But we didn’t know for sure until this week when teasers for the May 19 release movie started rolling out.

Aurich Lawson Over the last decade, cars have become quite complicated machines, with often complex user interfaces. Mainly, the industry has added a touch to the near-ubiquitous infotainment display: it makes manufacturing simpler and cheaper and user interface design more flexible, even if there is much evidence that the touch screen interfaces increase driver distraction. But as I’ve been discovering in several new cars recently, there may be a better way to tell our cars what to do, literally, by telling them what to do, out loud. After years of being, frankly, pretty rubbish, voice control in cars has finally…

Falling new car prices are also driving down used electric vehicle prices. They have fallen 17 percent since July, according to Recurrent, which tracks the used car market. That’s largely because Tesla cut the price of the Model 3 and GM dropped the price of the Chevrolet Bolt by nearly $6,000 last year. Under the Inflation Reduction Act, used cars also qualify for a tax credit of up to $4,000. This is important because most people buy used vehicles.Falling prices for materials such as lithium and cobalt have also helped. The price of lithium used in batteries has fallen 20…
There are many products in the aftermarket realm that aim to free up or create more horsepower. While some of these use biased data or are just plain false, I was eager to try one of the more common products: the cold air intake. I wanted to start with a modern vehicle, with low kilometers and completely stock, to avoid any variables in the results. One problem though: none of my personal vehicles fit the criteria. However, my dad’s 2021 Mustang GT fit the bill, and even better, Christmas was right around the corner. In case you haven’t gotten into…
Russia plans to cut its oil output by 500,000 barrels a day next month, following the threat of retaliation against Western energy sanctions and pushing up oil prices. The move threatens to renew turmoil in the oil market, which had so far taken the disruption of Russian supplies in stride. Delegates from other members of the OPEC+ coalition signaled that they would not increase production to fill the gap. Crude oil prices jumped on the news, with global benchmark Brent trading 2.2% higher at $86.34 a barrel at 12:22 pm in London. Prior to this week, the international benchmark had…

February 10, 2023 at 12:34 PM ET Tesla has cut its prices in half over the past five years, according to a recent article published by Electrek. These price cuts make the US EV maker’s most popular models more affordable for the masses, but Tesla isn’t quite there yet. Maybe he can cut those prices in half once again, and sooner rather than later. If you read CEO Elon Musk’s words and Tesla’s mission in general, you’ll learn that the company’s…
