A now-former San Diego police officer had to call a colleague to let him out of his own car after he locked himself in. Upon arrival, the assisting officer found Anthony Hair in the back seat with a female suspect. Hair resigned after an investigation found semen on his belt. Police officers face a barrage of strange, hateful, and sometimes wildly inappropriate comments at their jobs. Part of that job though is making good decisions with sound judgment . In one instance from San Diego, it appears as though an officer makes a series of poor choices. A female suspect in his car allegedly propositioned him for sex… minutes later, he accidentally locked himself in his own car. That now-former officer is Anthony Hair, who was driving a suspect from a scene to the Las Colinas Detention Center. Body cam footage from Hair shows that the two had a conversation around 1:17 a.m. on August 15, 2023. The suspect asks if he’s single to which Hair responds “yeah, but you’re not.” Her r...

The R1T and R1S can already be ordered with the optional Performance motors for $5,000. An over-the-air software update will unlock the full performance credentials of base Dual Motor models. There’s no word on when the update will be introduced. Rivian is planning to make R1T and R1S models fitted with its dual-motor powertrain even faster with an over-the-air software update. The American car manufacturer currently sells standard and Performance-focused versions of its dual motor powertrain. The standard model is capped at 533 hp while the $5,000 Performance Pack available on newly-configured models increases this to 665 hp. As it stands, this pack is only available when a new R1T or R1S is ordered from the factory. However, this will soon change as the Performance Pack will become an option existing standard Dual Motor owners can pay for.

Cadillac has introduced the US-spec Optiq, which will arrive late this year and cost around $54,000. The SUV has a standard dual-motor all-wheel drive system producing an estimated 300 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque. Cadillac expects the model to have a range of around 300 miles. Why? Why on earth would you spend an estimated $54,000 to get a Cadillac Optiq when the Tesla Model Y Performance is available now for $51,490 before incentives? That’s an uncomfortable question, but one we’re left asking as the Optiq is likely facing an uphill battle. The problem isn’t just Tesla as Cadillac’s own Lyriq begins at $58,590 and that isn’t much more than the brand’s entry-level EV.

A Cybertruck customer delivery experience was marred by a deep cut. The slice was serious enough that several hours afterward the customer had to go to the emergency room. This isn’t the first time that a Cybertruck or a vehicle in general has sliced up its owner. Those who are awaiting delivery of their Tesla Cybertruck are an excitable bunch but for one such person, the excitement seemed to have lingered a tad too long. During the delivery itself, he accidentally cut himself on the body panels of his new aluminum pickup. Hours later, his excitement turned into a visit to the emergency room, seeking medical attention for a stubborn bleed. The poster over on CybertruckOwnersClub started a thread days before the delivery event in expectation. When the big day came, he, his wife, and two Tesla employees did a walk-around of the truck. During that event, he went to check a “little pit/divet or something on the tailgate.” Read: Tesla Cybertruck Hits Crowd After Driver’s Idi...
