Technology, Market Data & Analysis
Nine years after Elon Musk promised a coast-to-coast autonomous demo by 2017, a 2024 Model S has finally completed the journey with zero driver interventions. Alex Roy and his rotating team completed what they're calling the first "Tesla FSD Cannonball Run," traveling from midtown Manhattan to Redondo Beach without touching the controls.
The decade-old Giulia and Stelvio were supposed to be replaced by an all-electric crossover last year, but that plan has been scrapped. CEO Santo Ficili confirmed the new EV is being completely reengineered to accept gasoline powertrains following the EU's decision to roll back its 2035 emissions rules, extending current model production through 2027.

Car Culture
The F.K.P. Hommage honors both the groundbreaking hypercar and the late Dr. Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the Volkswagen Group chairman who championed Bugatti's revival. While ownership has since passed to Rimac, this unique creation celebrates the car that introduced "hypercar" into the automotive lexicon and pushed engineering boundaries thought impossible.
Despite debuting just two weeks before the Ford Mustang, Plymouth's stylish fastback was overshadowed by the Mustang's runaway sales success and has remained undervalued for decades. Now collectors are recognizing these early Barracudas as athletic, versatile machines that captured the spirit of 1960s youth culture with exciting styling and optional performance powerplants.

Miscellaneous
If you've noticed late-model cars missing their front emblems, it's likely not teenagers collecting souvenirs—thieves are targeting the expensive ADAS radar units hidden behind them. These advanced driver assistance sensors can cost thousands to replace, making them lucrative targets for criminals who can pop off an emblem in seconds.
Unveiled at the 2026 Detroit Auto Show, the M1E3 prototype represents a dramatic reimagining of American armor following hard lessons from Ukraine, where Russia has lost an estimated 4,300 tanks. The next-generation Abrams features hybrid propulsion and prioritizes reduced weight and enhanced electronics over pure armor thickness.
