Deliveries of the Tesla Cybertruck are slowly but surely ramping up and people who reserved it years ago are starting to receive delivery dates. But what if you want to skip the line and get your hands on the angular pickup without waiting weeks or months for Tesla to ship the EV? Well, there’s…

The Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX has completed another efficiency run, this time in the Arabian desert. The EQXX has managed two previous long trips on a single charge—previously covering 746 miles from Stuttgart, Germany, to the Silverstone racetrack in the U.K. on the second trip.
