Showcasing the Best in the Mobile Enhancement Industry
The Tesla Cybertruck hit the streets, and in the beginning, prices were going for double MSRP. But after a few months, prices have come back to earth. Wait a little longer, and it will probably be half of MSRP for a used example. Besides the cliff-face depreciation, it has become the running joke of influencers commenting on its polarizing looks. Beauty is in the eye of the Read more
There’s no denying that electric vehicles are here to stay. Whether we like the way they drive, the sounds they don’t make, or their cost, their popularity is undeniable. Car audio companies like Focal and Alpine have stepped up to the plate with audio upgrade kits for the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y in hopes of improving the performance of these sound systems. Let’s explore Read more
I get to review a lot of two-row SUVs. For most singles and small families, this formula answers the question of “What do I get for a practical vehicle I can use in most situations?” If you have three or more kids, the three-row SUV is warranted. However, it comes with a substantial price hike for the privilege. Manufacturers know that you desire a third row, but you will not Read more
One of the problems with fully electric vehicles is range anxiety. But in the case of the Hyundai Ionic 6, the range brings you into its gasoline-counterpart territory, making it an option for those who don’t have access to a charger where they live. After topping off, my Ionic 6 tester consistently had over 300 miles on the display. The EPA rates it at 361 miles, but Read more
After a recent vehicle introduction, discussions about vehicles with 48-volt electrical systems are at an all-time high. Changing standards in vehicles is nothing new. Most cars manufactured before the mid-1950s came with 6-volt batteries. As the need for power and speed from various automobile components has increased, we’re about to witness a change to 48-volt systems. Let’s Read more
The Genesis GV70 is a very good luxury SUV at a reasonable price point. With its 2.5-liter turbocharged engine, it’s been well received by both the press and public. But the really cool part is Genesis’ ability to remove the gasoline powerplant altogether and replace it with a fully electric setup. This versatility in the platform shows the engineering involved in the design. Read more
The BMW M340i is not quite the BMW M3, but not quite the base model 330i. But what is nice is the standard non-controversial grille that has put so many people off the M3’s new snout. Forgetting the highly debated grille, the BMW M340i offers daily performance wrapped in a luxury package. For years it was the benchmark sports sedan. It continues this tradition even in the face Read more
We really like the engineering behind Tesla vehicles. But sometimes the execution is not as good as the design. People have been complaining about the panel gaps in Tesla vehicles for years. But it also was the best choice in the EV market. Consumers were willing to put up with small niggles for engineering prowess.No doubt about it, Toyota knows how to make a reliable Read more
It’s been more than a year since we first got our hands on the amazing Sony Mobile ES XAV-9500ES multimedia receiver for a detailed Test Drive Review. Our takeaway from that testing experience was that Sony had pulled out all the stops when developing this radio: It sounds stunning, measures superbly on the test bench, and, as we would confirm after an extended period of Read more
