Tesla has recalled 40,168 vehicles due to a software issue that could cause loss of power steering assist, but the automaker says it's already released an over-the-air (OTA) update to address the problem. In certain 2017-2021 Model S and Model X vehicles that received the 2022.36 firmware release, changes to the "calibration values" for the…

After the unveiling of the first-ever BMW iX1 electric small crossover earlier this year, we now get a first look at its sportier looking cousin, the iX2 crossover coupe. Mind you, BMW hasn't unveiled it yet; these are the first spy shots of an iX2 prototype, and while it is fully camouflaged, it's pretty…

Rivian has released its earnings report for the third quarter of 2022, disclosing a $1.72 billion net loss from operations and revenue of $536 million.  The net loss widened compared to the $1.23 billion posted a year earlier, while revenue did not meet analysts' expectations of $551 million, according to Refinitiv data quoted by…

This week’s big news in tech: Uber behaved badly. A massive document dump reveals that it knowingly broke laws to roll out its services as widely and quickly as possible. Of course, the company can blame its disgraced former CEO. “We ask the public to judge us by what we’ve done in the last…

Consider, for a moment, the electrical wire, a pervasive technology that’s extremely easy to forget. Spooled up inside our devices, wrapped around our walls, strung along our streets, millions of tons of thin metallic threads do the job of electrifying the world.

The EV6 GT is still a heavy car, and its 2,185-kilogram curb weight is felt through the corners when driven quickly. If truly let loose, we suspect physics would soon overcome the efforts of Kia’s engineers. Plainly, and despite its huge power, this is not a car designed for track use. Kia says as much…
