How I Used & Abused My Tesla
What a Tesla looks like after 100,000 Miles, a 48 State Road trip, 500 Uber Rides, 20 Rentals & 2 AirBnB sleepovers.
The title is pretty much self-explanatory. Maybe this will help stop electric cars non-believers in proclaiming that electric cars won’t last and the maintenance cost will be exorbitant. Here’s a complete review on how much you can beat the shit out of these machines. Also the part where the author tells the story of how he rented the Tesla as ” The World’s Fastest Hotel” on AirBnb while being parked in his garage is hilarious!
Totally worth the read!
Crazy dude from Finland puts a glass cylinder head on his dirtbike so you can see inside of it while running
Thanks to Petri Ranki for this one!
The Simple Solution to Traffic
If you live in a big city you know what it’s like to be stuck in traffic. Thank to CGP Grey, here’s the solution!
Fancy cars in Japan
Nice photo gallery by Rat Corp. of luxury cars from Japan. Will definitely make you want to buy a ticket straight to the land of the rising sun.
SURGING DEMAND FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
An instructional infographic explaining the arrival of the new lithium-ion batteries and the impact it will have on the future of electric vehicles. It’s literally packed with a ton of useful information so if you are interested in electric cars and such you will like this one.
The history of the electric car
For those of you who liked the last infographic, you should definitely take a look at this one. It describes the history of the electric cars from the origins up to the more recent models we can see roaming the streets these days.
Here’s some of the best pictures we came across on Instagram this week. From race cars to rat rods, JDM or USDM, luxury vehicles and winter beaters, here’s the best of the best!
Shaved engine bays… Seems like an awful amount of work but, boy, does it look amazing!

Even though there’s less and less of these beauties on the road every year, i still think the RS is one of the best looking Subaru ever made. This one looks sick as hell and the bike rack on the roof adds a little touch of wilderness to it. Simply perfect!
Clay models at its finest! You got to recognize talent when you see it. Awesome work!
