Tesla has rolled out its upgraded 2026 Model Y, internally dubbed "Juniper." The globally leading electric SUV sees substantial enhancements and has expanded from its China reveal to now being listed on Tesla’s U.S. website in Long Range trim. Borrowing heavily from the revamped Model 3 "Highland," the new Model Y receives a quieter cabin, refined materials, and an improved ride. Key tech upgrades include a rear-seat touchscreen, heated seats all around, and a redesigned steering wheel with integrated controls. Electrically folding rear seats and updated touchscreen interfaces also make their way in. Design-wise, the Juniper sports a full-width LED headlight strip, Cybertruck-inspired styling cues, and sleeker taillights with C-shaped elements. Aerodynamic tweaks contribute to a boosted range  and better efficiency. The Long Range Dual Motor configuration of the updated Model Y achieves an EPA-estimated 327 miles of range, with a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 4.6 se...

BMW just dropped fresh teaser shots of the eagerly awaited VDX Concept — and for the first time, it’s shed its camouflage. Making its grand public appearance at Auto Shanghai 2025, the Vision Driving Experience (VDX) hints at a bold, electrified future for BMW M. BMW isn’t giving everything away just yet, but from what we’ve seen, the VDX might be M’s wildest machine ever. Heading to Shanghai for its big reveal between April 23 and May 2, this concept turns the Vision Neue Klasse idea into something way more extreme. Rumor has it, there’s a 1,700 hp quad-motor setup hiding underneath — leaving the future dual-motor, sub-700 hp electric M3 "ZAO" in its dust when it lands in 2028. The VDX may be a one-off for now, but it’s a bold preview of BMW M’s electrifying future! Unlike the current M Performance EVs like the i4 M50 and iX M70, the VDX hints at a no-holds-barred, fully electric M car that will take performance to the next level! And for those still craving the roar of a c...
