More exclusive details on the new Tesla Roadster from MotorTrend's new video: • Two removable roof panels, with rear storage if there's no pressure tank • Plug-in, quick-release windscreen wiper • Limited FSD, with the exact restrictions not yet explained • Charge port hidden behind the rear wing • Manual seats and pedal adjustment to save weight • Separate e-boost/push-to-pass button • A 330 mph top speed claim that needs the pressure tank

Marques is “pretty sure” the Roadster won't reach half the speed of sound. He cites Hagerty's 6-7 hour tank refill time, but conveniently leaves out that Tesla is working on a system to bring that down to about 30 minutes. If the new Roadster can already already reach 320mph getting up to 380mph (mach 0.5) can't be too far off.

Interestingly, this is the first time Tesla have publicly shown what could be the consumer-facing software for a privately owned Cybercab. It basically looks just like the software in a Model 3 or Model Y. The CarSauce YouTube channel got access to the Cybercab currently touring Australia. It’s at Tesla Sydney in Alexandria right now and anyone can go and see it.

I am seeing more and more legacy media outlets getting things wrong about the Tesla Roadster. They claim it was the Thrust variant on display. No it was obviously the rocket version which has thrusters facing towards the ground allowing it to fly. Crazy that these so-called “professional” outlets get these simple details so wrong.

MKBHD has doubled down on his Cybercab bet. If Tesla launches the Cybercab and delivers one to a customer by the end of 2026, he’ll shave his head AND donate to cancer research. If Tesla doesn’t pull it off, he’s inviting everyone on the other side of the bet to shave theirs. Would you take the other side of the bet?

The new Roadster's rear drive unit is unbelievably small for something producing 1,341 hp. Lars Moravy says its two motors produce more power and torque than all three in a Model S Plaid, in Hagerty’s video. Each motor has its own inverter and planetary reduction gear, allowing independent control of the rear wheels without a conventional differential.

Watch WhistlinDiesel launch a Cybertruck into an F-150 at 111 mph. The impact completely separated the F-150’s cab from its chassis. The Cybertruck’s body remained in one piece. Despite the severity of the collision, its high-voltage battery pack did not catch fire. After destroying both trucks, he admitted: • The Cybertruck’s body was “much, much better” • It was dramatically faster • It was far more comfortable to sit in • Its suspension and ride were better • It handled Moab impressively before becoming disabled He believes Tesla is “onto something” with the Cybertruck — they just need to make it last. Despite all of that, he declared the F-150 the overall durability winner because it survived the broader test without repeatedly returning to a repair shop.

CLASSIC! 60 Minutes posted the full, uncut drive of their hit piece on Tesla's FSD. Despite a minor navigational error, the car handled the busy Sydney drive flawlessly! None of the impressive clips were included in original hit piece, with the presenter dismissing notable maneuvers by asking, "What isn't this software capable of?" DO BETTER!

This is so bad from Drive. They claim Tesla FSD mistakes Australia’s overhead freeway speed signs for traffic lights, blame it on “US-written software” and call it a “massively annoying bug”. It isn’t. Yes, the signs appear as traffic lights in the on-screen visualisation. That quirk has been around for years. But the car does not brake or stop for them. It reads the overhead speed limit correctly and keeps driving. Drive even admits the car did not brake in its own testing. Yet they still repeat claims that it might, then tell owners to disable “Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control”, which isn’t even a separate option on HW4 FSD. I wish reviewers would actually live with the software for a while before making silly videos like this that misinform people.

MKBHD has released a video about the Model S Plaid Signature edition: “Still the best Tesla they ever made” “The best seats they’ve ever made” “The best back seat in any sedan they’ve made” “Extremely practical” “One of the best and most influential cars of all time” Yet despite all that praise, does he think it will appreciate as a collectible? “I think no. Especially not for long term.” His reason? “It’s a regular Tesla Model S Plaid with some paint, with some extra interesting trim.” 🙄

More videos are surfacing of people sitting in the Cybercab in Sydney. • Fully autonomous • Comfortable with a huge trunk • Paint-free body panels • Optimised for the lowest possible cost per mile + lowest drag coefficient in a Tesla I just hope journos take all of that innovation into consideration before calling it “crap”. It’s designed to be incredibly cheap to run. Can your $30,000 car drive itself?

This is genuinely one of the stupidest takes on EVs I've ever seen. This bloke wants you to pull into a service station, have someone on a forklift swap your battery out like a power tool, pay £50 (~$65 USD), and grab a Red Bull and a chocolate while you wait. He also reckons the air coming out of a modern diesel tailpipe is cleaner than the air going in. Meanwhile EV owners: – Plug in at home – Never visit a servo again – Wake up to a full charge every morning – Pay next to nothing to charge Nobody is sitting around dreaming up ways to keep going to petrol stations. The whole point is that you never have to again.
