The Tesla Cybertruck is an electric four-door pickup that contains one of the best designs in the world. With that said, there are a lot of features that are not on many trucks. Sure, it’s electric, which makes it different in the first place, but there are also some other unique additions. Here are a few we found interesting.

Plenty of Lights

It has a full-width LED headlight bar. Besides that, it also comes with an auxiliary strip made for driving off-road. This strip is located near the top of the windshield, right below the peak in the roof.

Space Age Construction

The body of the new Cybertruck is made with thick sheets of stainless steel. It is dent- and scratch-resistant. According to Tesla, it can tolerate a 9-mm firearm round. The company also claims the Tesla Armor Glass is extremely strong.

Butterfly Doors

We know it has a covered bed and a trunk integrated into the floor. On top of that, it also contains a front trunk located beneath the hood. The supports placed near the rear of the roof hide compartments under the butterfly doors.

Walk on it

The powered truck bed cover holds the weight of a full-size adult and can be walked on. It will also fully retract and hides between the cabin and bed.

Plenty of Additional Features

The truck comes with an optional Cyberquad battery-run ATV. This ATV is loaded into the bed using the ramp provided. The Tesla truck also comes with a slide-out electric stove that runs on the same battery.

Just when you thought the electric market couldn’t get any more exciting – we get word of a powerful electric crossover that hits close to 400 horsepower. The Nissan Ariya electric SUV might even arrive as early as 2021.

First Look: Nissan Ariya

It is no surprise that Nissan is working on an electric crossover. They have made that clear for several months now. We also know that it would be based on the IMx concept that has captivated our minds. The vehicle they are working on now should be around the same size as the Rogue.

But, now we are receiving even more details, so there is less of a mystery. With images circulating the web, it’s fun to put a picture to the data. You might notice the LED lights and fake grille on this SUV. That’s what helps it to look like the IMX. Still, it does offer a few differences. It is stubbier and comes across more like a 2020 Nissan Juke.

This model should come equipped with a 300-mile range battery. It’s also possible to hit 60 mph in only five seconds, thanks to the workings of dual electric motors. We know that the IMX produces 400 horsepower, but the Ariya will probably have a little less than that. Still, it won’t be enough to complain about.

Some dealerships reported seeing the Ariya back in August, so we know it’s happening. Initial reports also indicate the new Nissan ProPilot 2.0 autonomous driving technology in the SUV. With the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show happening right now, we are sure to find out even more details in the coming days.

Nissan on the Rise

It appears that Nissan is giving some other brands a run for their money. They have been producing a lot of unique and exciting vehicles lately. Even the 2020 Nissan Titan is receiving many accolades. It shall be interesting to see what’s in store for this Nissan electric SUV when it hits the market.

There has been plenty of speculation, but we have some more reasons to believe that there might be an electric Hummer in the works. GM plans to start working on all-new electric pickups and SUVs, so it isn’t far-fetched for this to make the shortlist. Quite frankly, an electric-powered Hummer could be the next big thing.

Upcoming Electric Hummer

GM is totally on board with electric vehicles. GM plans to invest $7.7 billion to make their new electric SUVs and pickups, along with enlisting UAW workers. This allows the Detroit-area plant to remain operational after being remade into a manufacturing facility for electric cars.

Other sources say that GM planned on revising the nameplate on the Hummer as part of their agenda to make and sell electric utility SUVs. They also say that the new Hummer concept might hit production as soon as 2021.

Their electric vehicle production program “BT1” aims to take a Tesla approach. It targets luxury car owners first. GM couldn’t gain more customers by selling cars like the Chevy Volt and Bolt. So instead they are trying to gain higher-end customers by selling higher-end cars.

BT1 hopes to provide an electric SUV for Cadillac and a pickup for GMC by 2023. However, they going to provide a pickup for a “different brand” which must be Chevrolet. After that, a performance model will be out for sale by 2021. This goes by the codename “Project O”.

Tesla, Ford and Rivian plan to have their own models by then. We expect GM to price their new electric trucks and SUVs between $90,000 and $100,000 but won’t know for sure until closer to the time.

Race for Electric SUVs and Trucks

Everyone is in a mad dash to get their model out first. Do you think that an EV-based Hummer can compete with Rivian and Tesla? Let us know in the comments.

Elon Musk recently confirmed that the Tesla Pickup will be revealed next month. Up until now, we’ve only seen some vague images of this electric pickup truck. We know it won’t be a typical truck, but something out of a science-fiction movie.

What to Expect from the Tesla Pickup

The company unofficially calls this truck the Tesla Model B. The initial push-back was related to the lack of charging stations, but Tesla has made great strides in this area. At the end of 2018, there were almost 1,375 Supercharger stations in the world, with more than 11,000 chargers.

We’ve also seen the image of a Tesla hauling a Ford F-150 in its truck bed. This implied that the Tesla truck is better than the Ford favorite. It’s also expected to have at least six seats and provide up to 300,000 pounds of towing power.

Of course, this capability will cost. Right now, the estimated starting price of a Tesla truck is $49,000. We will also have to wait until at least 2021 before we get our hands on one. Here are the specs we do know so far:

• Standard AWD
• Self-Leveling Suspension
• 500-mile range on a single charge
• Semi-autonomous driving system

Electric Truck Competition

Of course, multiple automakers continue to race to debut their electric pickup. We have Rivian, Ford and GM all working on launching an electric pickup within the next few years. Over time, this should help to bring down the price as competition ramps up.

With so many people in the United States purchasing trucks, there seems to be a good market for these companies. Now all that’s left to do is see who comes out on top.

What are your thoughts on the electric truck race? Is there one brand you would trust more than another? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Welcome to the future, Audi enthusiasts. The All-Electric Audi AI: Trail Quattro is a concept SUV, built for off-roading. It recently debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and it looks amazing.

All-Electric Audi AI: TRAIL Quattro Performance

The AI: TRAIL has four electric motors and a battery. The motor pumps out 429 bhp with 1,000Nm torque output. This battery has a range of 310 miles on-road and 155 miles off-road. The maximum speed that the TRAIL will be able to reach is 81 miles per hour. It sits on top of huge 22-inch wheels and 33.5-inch tires made for off-roading. It should be able to power through water that is over 1.5 feet deep.

Audi has its sights set squarely on the future with the AI: TRAIL. Fittingly, it will be autonomous or self-driving. It should be able to fully control its movements on its own. However, a steering wheel and pedals will still be installed so that drivers can drive it if they choose to. It also has a very light weight for the type of vehicle it is: less than 4,000 pounds.

Design & Interior Features

The Audi AI: TRAIL looks like something out of a science fiction movie. Its huge wheels and large areas of glass give it a bold look. The tires also feature self-adjusting air pressure sensors. These sensors will control the air levels in the tire based on road (or off-road) conditions.

The interior comes with all of the latest technological innovations. We expect it to have informational consoles on each side of the steering wheel, as well as a holder for phones.

Also, there should be plenty of cargo space within the car and in the trunk.

Overall, the Audi AI: TRAIL looks stylish and intimidating: a beast that has come back from the future.

The Super 73-S1 electric bicycle is the clear leader in the electric bike industry. It has all the elements you want in a bicycle, while not adding unnecessary features. Let’s take a first look at the Super 73-S1.

Super 73-S1 Electric Bicycle Specs

It has a smooth, efficient design with no shifters, a sleek frame, and a basic functional seat.

The 73-S1 performs very well on the street and off the road. It has a beastly rear motor, climbs hills powerfully and it is comfortable as it glides down the street. The designers gave it 20-inch wheels, which are smaller than average. This helps the bike handle and respond quickly and powers up the rear wheel torque. Tires come in two options: knobby or street tires.

The 73-S1 can reach a top speed of 20-25 miles per hour.

It comes equipped with hydraulic disc brakes, which don’t need to be adjusted. These brakes are ideal for sticky situations.

The seat that comes standard is a wedge. There is an option to upgrade to the bench seat, and many riders would prefer this choice. The wedge seat can accommodate a wider range of riders.

Unfortunately, there is no suspension in the Super 73-S1. This makes major bumps and holes noticeable as you are riding.

The bike does come with a large halo headlight, which is very powerful. It also comes with a double kickstand, giving the bike a lot of stability. The included charger is efficient: a high-power, 5A solid state charger.

The cost of the Super 73-S1 is around $2,200, which is in the middle of the pack. There are other budget bikes you could buy, but you will get what you pay for. On the other hand, there are some much pricier bikes that just aren’t as good as this one. The Super 73-S1 rises above all the others.

The Chinese car company NIO just joined forced with Razer Inc. (gaming hardware creator) to bring us a new vehicle. The Razer Electric SUV is known as the NIO ES6 Night Explorer Limited Edition. Here’s what we know so far.

Razer Electric SUV

Several years ago it would have seemed odd to have a gaming company and automaker join forces. These days, it’s just not that unusual.

Razer and NIO worked together on this cross-platform design appealing to the masses. We have mounds of curiosity waiting to see how it all turns out.

The Night Explorer SUV launches at the ChinaJoy show in Razor’s booth. There will only be 88 of these models available. Furthermore, the total cost remains at 467,800 yuan, which is about $67,400.

It has a sporty appearance combined with a luxury interior. This vehicle also comes equipped with NIO Pilot, high-tech amenities and NOMI Mate. Razer design includes carbon fiber decals, the company’s logo, green calipers and a custom design package.

This electric SUV features dual motors that work together to create 536 horsepower. This allows it to hit 62 mph in just 4.7 seconds with a 124 mph top speed. The 84kWh battery pack helps it achieve 317 miles on a single charge, making it a chart-topper.

Competitive Field

It seems every automaker is racing at the chance to make the best, and most stylish electric SUV on the market. With this partnership between Razer and NIO, it will be interesting to see if the demand calls for more.

Some of the other electric vehicles we’re interested in include the Cadillac Escalade EV, Toyota electric car lineup and the Rivian R1T. Technology moves at astounding rates right now, allowing us to witness new things every day. What electric vehicle do you plan to check out further? Let us know about it in the comments.

We have word that Tesla Version 10 software is ready for release. It’s set to include plenty of new features, so let’s take a closer look at what’s expected.

New Tesla Version 10 Software Update

It wasn’t that long ago that Tesla released the version 9 update. It was the first revision in years, but now we get access to version 10 much quicker.

Elon Musk took to Twitter to confirm some of the features of version 10. It includes numerous games and some updated infotainment enhancements. The highway Autopilot also gets some improvements along with upgraded traffic light & stop sign recognition.

Besides, a few of these features require a “premium connectivity” package, so don’t expect them to be free. The full release might arrive in August. Tesla already has several fleet vehicles testing the upgrades.

What We Think

We think the lineup of features sounds exciting. Plus, we give the company credit for getting it done so fast. However, it’s hard to believe it will be released when planned. This isn’t an area they seem to move quickly on and might run into some troubles.

The level of updates might also justify a price increase. It wouldn’t be surprising if the prices of new models didn’t jump up slightly to reflect the latest tech.

Still, this shows why Tesla continues to be the company to follow. They always improve upon their vehicles and aim to keep the customer happy. The purchase of a car isn’t the end for this company, as software updates continue to enhance the experience.

Keep in mind that not all cars have the capability to receive updates. Vehicles must have the newest MCU (media unit), but Musk says owners can upgrade this. Still, we’ve heard about complaints regarding this upgrade. It isn’t as easy as it sounds, from what we understand.

With all the new electric vehicle options out there, the amount of range they can go is always on everyone mind. Nobody wants to sit and wait for their car, truck or SUV to charge when on that weekend getaway or family vacation. This is why you should consider a Cadillac Escalade EV. It wasn’t that long ago that Cadillac debuted their electric SUV plans, but now we have more details.

Cadillac Escalade EV

In 2021, the 5th generation Cadillac Escalade is being offered with three different powertrains. One of the options will include an all-electric version. This will squash the worry of how far you can drive between charges. The 2021 Escalade will push the limits of a full-size SUV range at just around 400 miles. This will serve the needs of traveling long distances without the need of sitting at charging stations. The only downside to this is the size of the battery pack this will take. Considering the size and weight of the Cadillac the battery will have to be pretty large.

EV Contenders

The only all-electric SUV on the market right now is the Tesla Model X. This EV will take you about 325 miles before you need to charge. Tesla utilizes a 100 kWh battery to make this happen. However, when the Cadillac Escalade is ready in 2021, Tesla could be competing by then with a 400-mile range of its own.

The only contender, not yet on the market in the long-range, luxury SUV segment is the Rivian R1S. They are also advertising a 400+ mile range.

We can’t wait to see the future of these electric vehicles. With more car companies going to all-electric cars, trucks and SUV’s it should be interesting to see the how far some of these can go without being plugged in. What do you think about all the new models?
