Cybertrucks Booed At Mardi Gras Parade In New Orleans
The Tesla Cybertruck is, without question, the dumbest looking vehicle to ever be sold to the driving public. The American people were bound to hate this thing from the very moment it was designed, but when Tesla CEO Elon Musk stepped into bed with history's most idiotic fascist coup d'etat, it became a de facto symbol of that movement. Apparently a national Cybertruck Club volunteered to run their trucks in a New Orleans Mardi Gras parade—technically a Lundi Gras as it happened on Monday night—as a way to transport parade marshals along the route. Reportedly some of the trucks used drove in from Texas for the event. In any normal car this would be seen by the locals as a pretty cool and respectable gesture helping everyone enjoy the parade festivities. In a Cybertruck, you're broadcasting your dorkiness to the gathered masses, and the already riled up crowd took out their frustrations on the Tesla kooks, shouting their boos and throwing beads "from start to evacuation." Reddit user jobles95 posted about his experience, claiming he was marshal from inside one of the trucks, saying, "I couldn't believe my eyes. I knew it was going to be bad, but holy sh*t."
Apparently the trucks did not leave New Orleans unscathed, either, as many parade goers threw beads and other projectiles at the trucks driving down the parade route. Again, from jobles 95, the damage included "one broken window, and one chipped pretty bad. I know they got scratched up a lot, but I don't know the full extent." I was under the impression that Cybertruck windows were capable of withstanding a gunshot, so why would a beaded necklace be enough to crack one? Huh, it sure is a mystery.

While most of the country already harbors animosity toward the giant electric rolling dumpster, it's possible that New Orleanians may carry a little more hate for Cybertrucks than most. You may recall that a terrorist drove his truck into a crowd in New Orleans back in January, killing 15. While the vehicle used for that attack was not a Cybertruck, a potentially linked Las Vegas terrorist did use a Cybertruck for his explosive plot. These trucks, whether intended or not, have become symbolic of the rot in American society. If you're driving your Cybertruck out in public, you can expect at least some of that symbol to rub off on you as a person. As tensions between Americans and Elon Musk deepen, frustrations may be taken out on you as well. Obviously we wouldn't condone attacks against vehicle or person, but the odd harmless middle finger wouldn't go unwarranted.

Rolls-Royce Wants to Focus on Exclusivity and Brand Heritage Over Production Numbers
Growing sales numbers and volume are the name of the game for some of the most popular automakers like Toyota, Volkswagen, and Ford, but lately, even some of the most venerable names making premium cars have been ramping up their output. In recent years, luxury powerhouses like BMW and Mercedes, and even exotic brands like Lamborghini, have grown their lineups to ramp up their annual sales with a broad stream of eager, new customers seeking a ride on the wave of prestige of their badge. However, one of the most illustrious luxury car brands, Rolls-Royce, is bucking the trend. In a recent interview with American broadcaster ABC, the newly appointed president of Rolls-Royce North America, Jon Colbeth, said that the phenomenon of luxury automakers chasing volumes is a "race to the bottom," that puts their brand's image in jeopardy. "There are plenty of manufacturers with very expensive cars out there with full showrooms right now," Colbeth said. "We want to invest in the brand, we want to continue investing in the brand, but we want to grow it with bespoke." In lieu of chasing volume, Rolls sees its Bespoke service as a new driver of its business. By ordering a bespoke car from Rolls-Royce, deep-pocketed clients forgo the showroom in favor of "Private Offices," where they can commission unique vehicles with personalized paint colors, special materials, and other "wishes" to be granted for the right price. In his words, Colbeth explained that "If somebody is going to buy a new Rolls-Royce, they want to make sure it's their Rolls-Royce. The only way to do that is to personalize it." Rolls is investing $370 million to expand its plant in Goodwood, England, to aid the program. In a statement released during its announcement in May 2024, CEO Chris Brownridge revealed that the upgrades will help the company with bottlenecks in the current production process. For instance, upgrades to the paint shop will help it apply two-tone color schemes on more cars. Despite this, Rolls and Colbeth have no intention of increasing production numbers or even promoting their cars with celebrity faces. They note that the "brand speaks for itself," and clients don't buy Rolls-Royces "because a celebrity is driving it." "We don't want to be the car for everybody," Colbeth told ABC. "It's not what we're about. We're investing $370 million in our [U.K.] plant extension without making more vehicles. What brand does that? Our focus is adding bespoke capacity and allowing each commission to be more special for clients." Although the brand managed to move 5,712 vehicles last year amid the introduction of new models like the Spectre EV and an updated Cullinan SUV, Colbeth maintains that no matter which vehicles they choose, new clients join the Rolls-Royce "family and everything that comes along with it." "We need to grow the future of Rolls-Royce. We've been around for 120 years ... and we're going to be around for a long time. We're stewards of the brands. Our responsibility is to cherish it." Personalization and luxury goods go hand-in-hand. Parisian fashion ateliers Louis Vuitton and Goyard offer hand-painted monograms on their items, and shirtmakers from Brooks Brothers to Eton offer their customers the opportunity to add their initials to their white shirts in various fonts and colored threads. Going back to cars, Rolls-Royce is not alone in making boatloads of money from programs similar to its bespoke program. Ferrari has the Tailor Made and Atelier programs, Porsche has Sunderwunsch ('special wishes'), and even Maserati has an in-house customization program called the "Officine Fuoriserie Maserati," or "Office Out of Series Maserati." In 2024, Ferrari sold just 13,752 vehicles but grossed around €1.3 billion ($1.35 billion) from personalization last year, accounting for about a fifth of overall revenues at the prancing horse. Taste may be subjective, but the freedom that ultra-luxury automakers let clients customize their vehicles proves there is money to be made. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

First look: Tesla's biggest bet in years makes street debut
It has been a long time coming, but the moment is finally here. Tesla (TSLA) has officially rolled out its robotaxi program in Austin, Texas, after years of promises and missed deadlines. Tesla has teased its robotaxi program since CEO Elon Musk first mentioned it in 2016, but its development has moved at a snail's pace. Related: Tesla takes drastic measures to keep robotaxi plans secret Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was a self-described early believer in Tesla, but in recent years, he has made it his mission to warn the world about its Full Self-Driving technology. "Boy, if you want to study AI gone wrong, and making a lot of claims, and trying to kill you every chance it can, get a Tesla," Wozniak told CNN in a 2023 interview. Wozniak was a former Tesla booster, dating back to 2016, when he said he had spent a lot of money upgrading his vehicle. The upgrade included a camera and radar in the vehicle, and Musk promised that the car would be able to drive itself across the country by the end of 2016. Musk then said, according to Woz, that a new vehicle upgrade with eight cameras and even more sensors would allow the car to drive itself cross-country by the end of 2017. Eight years later, Tesla still can't drive itself cross-country, but the company is showcasing its progress on the streets of Austin. Self-driving Teslas with no one in the driver's seat were spotted in Austin this week. The video circulating online does, however, seem to show a human inside. The car in the video, with the word "Robotaxi" written on the door, successfully yields to pedestrians legally crossing in the crosswalk. According to Musk, Tesla plans to test only about 10 vehicles during this initial pilot run. Still, the ultimate plan is to have every Tesla on the road capable of serving as a robotaxi. Related: Tesla faces new challenge as leader announces exit Earlier this year, Tesla said its FSD system has driven a cumulative total of 3.6 billion miles, nearly triple the 1.3 billion cumulative miles it reported a year ago. The company has fought to keep its robotaxi plans in Austin top secret. News organizations have requested Freedom of Information Act access to communications from the last two years between the company and city officials in February, after Musk announced in January that robotaxis were coming to Austin. The city's public information officer told the news agency that "third parties" asked the city to withhold those records to protect their "privacy or property interests." While Tesla recently killed its Cybercab concept, at least for now, the company plans to test Model Ys already on the road as part of its robotaxi program. "It's prudent for us to start with a small number, confirm that things are going well, and then scale it up," Musk told CNBC's David Faber. Once it proves its concept in Austin, Tesla plans to expand the robotaxi program to Los Angeles and San Francisco soon after. California was Tesla's old stomping grounds before Musk moved the company's HQ to Austin in 2021 due to what he said were arduous regulatory practices, which may have been related to the company's operation during the Covid pandemic. With Tesla's plan to expand in the state, Musk will be heading back into that regulatory environment, except now the rules governing autonomous driving are much stricter. In April, the California Department of Motor Vehicles announced that it is seeking public comment on proposed regulations for self-driving vehicles.

8 Hybrid Vehicles That Last Longer Than You Think and Are Worth the Money
As the technology behind electric vehicles (EVs) continues to evolve, the mileage range of EVs is growing too, with the electric rides able to go farther than ever before between charging sessions. For the most part, though, no battery-powered vehicle matches the range of a hybrid ride, which combines an internal combustion engine with an electric motor for more efficient fuel economy, fewer emissions, added power and greater affordability to fit your budget better. Read Next: For You: Perhaps most importantly, hybrid vehicles can quite simply go much, much farther than EVs before needing to refuel or recharge. To that end, GOBankingRates compiled a listing of some of the farthest-reaching hybrids on the market, cars with long-enough range to justify their occasionally steep prices. Range: 704 miles The Ford F-150 is currently the longest-range hybrid on the American market, per Kelley Blue Book, making it to just over 700 miles. The hybrid truck — which also comes in standard internal combustion models, as well as a full EV model — also gets 22 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city, 24 mpg on the highway and 23 mpg combined with its 30-gallon full tank alone. Discover More: Range: 688 miles Car and Driver wrote that, while not cheap, this hybrid Benz not only comes with a big batter and incredible fuel economy, but with amazing speed as well — hitting 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. Range: 686 miles Kelley Blue Book clocked the 2024 Toyota Camry as both the longest-range hybrid sedan on sale in America and the top-ranking Toyota. Range: 670 miles The Elantra comes in just under the Camry in both range and price, per Kelley Blue Book. Range: 655 miles Kelly Blue Book reported that the Sorento's 2025 interior has received a massive tech upgrade compared to prior models, but warned consumers to stick with the front-wheel drive model (FWD), as the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) model only has a 602-mile range, while the FWD manages 655 miles total. Range: 648 In addition to comfortable interior space and style, Kelly Blue Book touted the Sienna as the longest-range hybrid minivan available in America. Range: 644 There's a reason you always see a Prius on the road — they're reliable and have an incredible range. Kelly Blue Book offered one small caveat: while the FWD Prius has a range of 644 miles, the AWD model only reaches 567 miles. Range: 644 While the LC 500h is extremely pricey — starting in the six-figure range — it more than makes up for it with a sleek body design, very high-technology interiors and a range of 644 miles, making it the longest-range luxury coupe in America, according to Kelley Blue Book.
