Lotus is making a splash in the luxury EV scene with its new Eletre, but brace yourself for a jaw-dropping price tag of $229,900. This sleek, high-performance electric vehicle is set to turn heads and hit the wallet hard.
Fisker Ocean owners are facing a double whammyânot only are they dealing with the inconvenience of multiple recalls over recent months, but they're also being asked to pay the cost of repairs. This comes on the heels of recalls for faulty doors, water pump failures, and even problems with the regenerative braking system affecting more than 7500 vehicles.
The 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid gets a slight price bump to $34,750, but adds some welcome features like heated front seats, wireless phone charging, and rear climate vents. While the price increase may sting, the Accord Hybrid continues to offer excellent fuel economy and a reliable reputation, making it a strong contender in the hybrid sedan market. However, those who prioritize value might consider seeking out a 2024 model if possible.
đ ïž Audi E-Tron GT Out of Order; What to Do?
If your Audi e-tron GT isnât running as smoothly as youâd hoped, youâre not alone. From user registration glitches to charging failures, these tech hiccups can be frustrating.
So, the online buzz around the Audi E-tron GT? It's mostly love! Sure, there's some chatter about range, but people are digging!
Sadly, my e-tron GT has a slew of issues that seem unfixable. It feels glitchier than a Windows 95 PC, with constant problems like failing to register the main user, charging issues, and random failures with the warning system and spoiler. Iâm seriously considering some DIY OBD-related options to try and sort these out.
Itâs an amazing car with loads of issues. Just like the taycan.
I love my GT. Fast as hell. I have no desire to step up to the RS.. of course if you can get one might as well go for it. But itâs amazing. The air suspension is magic. Handles incredibly for a 5000 lbs car yet simultaneously the most comfortable ride of any car Iâve ever owned. Thereâs also surprisingly good steering feel. Seats are very comfortable â Iâm a tall guy and fit better than in many SUVs because the seats can go really far back.
But donât worryâweâve got you covered with practical DIY fixes and expert tips to get your electric ride back in top shape.
Trending Now: Tariffs Going Up & Up

The office of the US Trade Representative made a final determination on the proposed increases that Biden announced in May that include a 100% duty on electric vehicles, 50% on semiconductors and solar cells, and 25% on battery parts and many critical minerals.

If the US has issued restrictive tariffs on Japanese cars fifty years ago, because they were cheaper and better, like they are on China for EVâs, we would all be driving gas guzzling American lemons. American manufacturing isnât as important as the climate crises or innovation!
