It seems like every new electric vehicle unveiling now starts with showing off a new ‘skateboard’ design, or the chassis of the vehicle that houses everything it needs to make it run. The motors, controllers, batteries, and everything else is usually built into a flat deck connected to the wheels, meaning the rest of the vehicle is basically just bolted on top. The engineer in me always thought it’d be fun to have just the bare skateboard, meaning you could go wild with your ideas of what to put on top.…

The Vision Pro is finally here after months of waiting since that first WWDC unveiling in June of last year.

Lots and lots of apps. Apple announced recently that the visionOS App Store would have more than 600 Vision Pro apps at launch and one of them is an absolute must if you're a heavy Shortcuts user.That app, dubbed Shortcut Buttons…

Picture the scene. You’re out on a lake, rowing a boat, enjoying the sunny weather. And then, from nowhere, a Cybertruck bobs by. If Elon Musk gets his way, such a scenario could become a reality, after the Tesla CEO suggested on social media on Tuesday that the automaker is “going to offer a mod package that enables Cybertruck to traverse at least 100m of water as a boat,” adding: “Mostly just need to upgrade cabin door seals.” Well, if an amphibious “Duck” bus can do it, why not a Cybertruck? Musk’s comment came…

Tesla was spotted driving Cybertruck into the water in the Gulf of Mexico after Elon Musk claimed it would float. Elon Musk has made claims before about how Tesla vehicles could float and briefly serve as a boat. They have never been taken too seriously as Tesla’s warranty says something different about taking the vehicle into the water. But the CEO doubled down on the claim with the Cybertruck – for which it makes more sense since it is supposed to be an off-road vehicle. Last year, Musk…

The government had controlled the spot rate for years until last week, keeping it artificially strong and widening the gulf between it and the black-market rate to almost 60 per cent, a put-off for…
