Positive proof: you can now get in a Tesla Model S and take it across the US without spending a dime for fuel. Thanks to Tesla’s Supercharger network throughout the states, biochemist John Glenney and his daughter was able to make a cross-country road trip without much of a hustle. Objective: being the first to complete the cross country journey relying only on Superchargers
On the 21st of January – in spite of the severe polar vortex that had gripped the states at the time – he made a post on the Tesla Motors Model S forum about how he plans on embarking on the adventure before actually leaving New York and started heading west. Communal excitement ensued:
“Fun to watch history unfolding in real-time!” said one forum commenter, as the Glenneys started updating their progress.
The only two obstacles throughout the trip were a flat tire in New York and a slight case of what we’d like to call “mileage anxiety”. Mr Glenney felt that the charge might not hold between the Newark, NJ and Somerset, PA charging points. (As of now there should be a new Supercharger in Hagerstown, MD effectively eliminating any future worries).
After 2,500 miles and 5 days of travelling, Mr. Glenny’s is convinced that the Tesla is “better than any other touring car [he] has ever had”

Did you start the day today and think “I want to watch a video of a 650 hp Dodge Viper GTS taking on – with various success – some of the established names in a head-to-head drag race”? Weirdly specific, but luckily, here’s one. It’s a Viper GTS which has been touched up by the turbo maniacs, Heffner Performance. The final product shows off 650 hp and a hell of a voice.

The original Honda NSX cars are already rare and valuable on their own. But the one that’s going to go under the hammer at the Silverstone Auctions’ Race Retro & Classic Car Sale next month blows all other deals out of the water.
Owning a truck in Australia is pretty much like owning identification documents. Small wonder then, that the Toyota Hilux is the third best-selling vehicle of any type on the continent. But you don’t simply walk into a dealer and buy one. Customers need to really sit down and think what exactly do they want from their truck because the full Hilux range has a total of three body styles, three equipment levels, three engines and three transmissions driving either the rear or all four wheels.
The Beijing International Automobile Exhibition will take place between the 20th and the 29th of April. In other words, not anytime soon. Peugeot, however, seem to be rather impatient. This is their first teaser of a concept car that will make a world-first debut there.
Android users, look away. 
Today Jeep are starting up the “Master of Winter” promotional web campaign that is supposed to take you on a virtual adventure with lots of snow, snowboarding, and other fun things. We’re only interested in what’s being promoted here, thank you. It’s the Jeep Wrangler Polar special edition.

For around $9.434 you can have the complexly named Prior Design Black Edition V2 widebody aerodynamic kit on a Mercedes S-Class (the old W221 Merc). It’s black (duh), road-sweapingly low, and kind of aggressive. Just look at the space – or rather the lack of it – between the tires and the wheel arches (that space, by the way, is called the dead cat hole). To be honest, though, the freakishly big wheels are not mentioned in the brochure so that might add a few more dollars to the total bill.
