Two videos on TikTok show the left-hand side wheels on a Cybertruck that broke, likely after an impact. This has led some to question their integrity, with the person who uploaded the clips suggesting that a recall is in order. Few cars have ever divided opinions quite like the Tesla Cybertruck. Its polarizing design isn’t even up for debate—some love its sci-fi aesthetic, while others can’t stand its unpolished looks comparing it with a child’s drawing brought to life. Regardless of which side you’re on, there’s no denying that it has helped pave the way for other electric pickups. However, it’s also proven to be riddled with problems and videos recently shared to TikTok appear to suggest the wheels might be more fragile than expected. Earlier in the year , Tesla had to fix the standard aero covers on the Cybertruck’s wheels after it was revealed they were chewing into the tire sidewall. However, this latest potential problem isn’t related to the wheel covers, but instea

The Tesla Model 3 Performance is a seriously fast sports sedan. Now, buyers are finding it with deep discounts on the second-hand market. One crossed the auction block at $12k under MSRP and another is up for grabs. Love them or hate them, electric vehicles can deliver mind-bending performance. We’re talking supercar levels of acceleration here, at least for 0-60 mph (96 km/h) and quarter-mile sprints. Take the Tesla Model 3 Performance, for instance. Priced from $54,990 or $47,490 if you choose the no-cost Stealth Grey option and meet the requirements for the $7,500 federal tax credit (the only color that qualifies without adding the $8,000 FSD package, which unlocks eligibility for all colors and also nets you the tax credit), it might just be the best value in the EV sports sedan segment. That is, as long as you can stomach the depreciation that comes with it, especially compared to something like a BMW M3, which holds its value far better. More: New Tesla Model 3 L

Carlos Tavares is out as Stellantis CEO following disagreements with the company’s board of directors. The executive was slated to retire in 2026, but resigned with immediate effect. A successor is expected to be named early next year but, in the meantime, the company will be lead by an interim executive committee headed by John Elkann. In a surprising turn of events, Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares has resigned with immediate effect. The news was unexpected as the executive had previously said he planned to retire in 2026. Stellantis released a short statement saying the company’s board of directors accepted the resignation and they’ve already started the search for a new CEO.

A new study from Consumer Reports has revealed the true running costs of popular brands’ cars over a 10-year period. Data shows that choosing one brand could result in you paying five times as much in maintenance and repairs. Teslas are by far the least expensive to run and Land Rover products the most expensive, the study claims. A vehicle’s price —whether the upfront cost or the monthly loan payment—and gas mileage numbers help us work out whether we can afford to run that new car we’re considering buying. Maintenance costs should also figure big in our calculations, but those stats aren’t as easy to come by, until now. The latest study by Consumer Reports produced some solid real world data looking at which brands’ vehicles cost the most and which cost the least to run over a 10-year period. To do that it asked CR members taking part in its annual reliability study how much they’d spent on servicing and repairs in the previous 12 months. More: Tesla Model 3 Ranks De
