Can Ford Build a $30,000 EV? 2026 Lexus TX 350 review, Automated School Bus Camera Surveillance, and Rivian's Factory Expansion
A $30,000 electric pickup truck made in the United States sounds like a fantasy until you look at what Ford is changing to make it real. We walk through Ford’s skunkworks approach to building affordable EVs, including fewer parts, large cast st...
Polestar's U.S. Crisis, Global Automotive Competition, NASA's Orbital Fuel Plan, and Rebuilding American Manufacturing
Polestar might be on the clock in the United States, and it’s not because the cars aren’t good. We unpack the Connected Vehicles Rule and the national security rationale for restricting Chinese-linked Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi, cellular, and certain sat...
High Tariffs, Low Quality; 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness review; A Nuclear Power Revival; and Coast-to-Coast in 15 minutes
Would you pay luxury prices for a Land Rover built under a Stellantis strategy designed to dodge tariffs? That question kicks off a wide-ranging Tech Mobility conversation in which we trace how manufacturing decisions, quality engineering, and ...
An Affordable EV Pickup Truck, the American E-Waste Crisis, AI's Blue-Collar Boom, and Wrong-Way Drivers
A $24,950 electric truck sounds like a typo, but it might be the clearest signal yet that the auto market is finally taking affordability seriously. We talk through the Slate Truck’s stripped-down approach: no infotainment system, hand-crank wi...
Mitsubishi’s Attempt to Stay Relevant, Jeep Cherokee Returns, Virtual Power Plants, and Countries Debate Social Media Limits
Mitsubishi still sells cars in the United States, but the numbers are thin, and the clock is loud. We dig into how a smaller automaker can secure the cash and engineering muscle to stay in the game, and why platform sharing and badge engineerin...
Cadillac's EV Success, a Recycling Reckoning, Power-Generating Windows, and AI Replaces Jake at State Farm
For many years, Cadillac was known as “the Standard of the World,” but for a long time it wasn’t the first name that came to mind when talking about luxury tech. That’s why we stopped and stared at the latest EV numbers: Cadillac has crossed 10...
Bollinger's Collapse, Hyundai's Affordable Crossover, Warehouse Robots, and the Energy Costs You Can't Escape
Bollinger Motors gets liquidated, CVS Health turns warehouses into robot-powered throughput hubs, and the global jet fuel squeeze quietly threatens what you pay at the pump. That sounds like three separate headlines, but we see a single pattern...
Two-Hour Entrepreneurs, Driverless Trucks, Teen Driver Training, and the Future of American Passenger Rail
A truck just completed a paid commercial freight run with no human in the cab and no remote driver, and it still met a tight delivery window. That’s not sci-fi; it’s a real autonomous trucking milestone, and it raises a serious question: when t...
GM's Medium Duty Truck Retreat, Mazda CX-30 Misses the Mark, Montana Tax Schemes, and China Raises the Luxury Car Stakes
GM is pulling the plug on a corner of the truck world most people forget exists, and the reason is brutally simple: math. We walk through Chevrolet’s modern medium-duty truck experiment, from the Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD partnership...
Radioactive Space Batteries, Record-Length Car Loans, Chrysler's Identity Crisis, and the Rise of Cycling
“Radioactive batteries” sounds like a headline built to scare you, so we start by separating the science from the gut reaction. We walk through what “radioactive” actually means, then break down the practical differences among alpha particles, ...
A $200,000 Lexus Supercar, the Nearly Flawless Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, Low-Carbon Cement, and AI-Powered Forests
A $200,000 Lexus with real supercar intent is not a rumor to shrug off, especially when the numbers floating around include 641 horsepower and a claimed 200 mph top speed. We kick things off by digging into what a GR-style Lexus performance sub...
A $25,000 EV Pickup, a 100,000-Year Nuclear Repository, Electric RVs, and Plug-In Solar
A $25,000-style electric pickup sounds impossible until you strip the vehicle down to what most people actually need. We dig into Slate Auto’s “blank slate” utility EV concept: no paint, phone-based infotainment, fewer factory options, and a pl...
Ford’s Eyes-Off EV Strategy, 2026 Kia EV9 Reality Check, Printable Artificial Neurons, and Why Truck Safety is More Than Equipment
“Eyes-off” driving sounds like the future, but trust is earned mile by mile. We dig into Ford’s plan to bring an eyes-off, hands-free driver-assistance system to its next universal EV platform by 2028, plus a near-term push to add an AI tool to...
Walkable Cities, Smarter Streets, and the Future of Safer Mobility
A walkable city changes your brain for the better: you stop planning your day around parking and start noticing streets, storefronts, parks, and people. We kick things off by challenging a popular “walkable vacation” list and making a clear cas...
Hyundai’s Midsize Truck Plans, the GR Corolla Review, Cost of Delayed Infrastructure, and the AI Classroom Debate
A 300-horsepower, three-cylinder hot hatch. A midsize-truck strategy built around “powertrain-agnostic” flexibility. An overdue trillion-dollar infrastructure bill hiding in plain sight. If you’ve been wondering why mobility and technology stor...
Luxury Cost Without Reliability, Hydrogen Flight, Captured Carbon Beer, and Smart Oilfields
Spending close to $100,000 on a luxury SUV should buy peace of mind, not a higher tolerance for problems. We dig into why “premium” and “reliable” don’t always go hand in hand, using real-world impressions of the Range Rover Sport as a jumping-...
Inside Stellantis’ Quality Overhaul, Range Rover Sport PHEV review, Turning Plastic Into Hydrogen, and Wireless Brain Implants

The Truck Built for Chaos, a Mile-Deep Nuclear Bet, Why Employers Don’t Trust AI Interviews, and Why Gas Prices Stay High
The most interesting tech stories are the ones that collide with the real world: job sites, power grids, and your local gas station sign. We start with a refreshingly practical look at the Kenworth C580, a new severe service vocational truck bu...
Cold Weather Trucking Autonomy, Hyundai’s Hybrid Pickup Play, Ultra-Fast EV Charging, and the AI Housing Gateway
A driverless semi rolling through Michigan in winter is a different kind of test. Sunbelt miles are one thing, but snow, ice, road spray, lane shifts, and Detroit-area traffic pressure every sensor and every line of autonomy code. I dig into To...
EV Narrative Is Cracking, Maritime Gaps, How RVs Are Evolving, and Why Experience Still Matters
EV fatigue is real, but the market is not behaving the way the loudest voices would have you believe. We dig into what happened after federal EV tax credits shifted and why the “EV sales will crater” storyline misses what consumers actually do ...
Big Rigs, Big Power, Big Questions: Trucks, Hellcats, Japanese Robots, and Biofuels
A trucker takes a wrong turn with a 40-foot trailer and backs out as if it never happened, thanks to the cab layout and screens that finally make the job easier. That story kicks off a deeper look at the Tesla Semi and why electric Class 8 truc...
Automation, Exclusivity, and Access: Pool Tech, First Class, and Aging Behind the Wheel
A $1,500 cordless robotic pool cleaner that claims it can scrub the waterline, climb walls, clean the floor, and even skim the surface sounds like the future of pool ownership. We dig into what that kind of home automation really replaces and w...
Buick Sedan Rumors, Lincoln Aviator Reality, Teen Stock Trading Risks, and the Green Steel Showdown
A Buick sedan in America again? That idea feels like a throwback until you consider how crowded the crossover market has become and how quickly buyer preferences can change when something seems too common. We start by examining the rumor that G...
Tesla’s Battery Trailer, a Strained Power Grid, Smarter Flight Delays, and the ADU Housing Fix
Tesla aims to address EV range anxiety with what sounds like a punchline: a tow-behind battery trailer. I explore the patent details, the promise of “automatic” energy management, and the complicated real-world questions nobody can ignore, like...
From Beijing to Your Driveway, 2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness review, 3D Metallic Glass, and The Great Housing Shrinkflation
China’s automakers aren’t just “coming someday”; they’re laying track right now, and Canada might be the staging ground. We explore the real-world mechanics behind a North American expansion: import quotas, vehicle certification, dealer network...
