You Can't Give Teslas Away These Days, but Tesla's Actually Trying To
Free car giveaways are typically associated with TV game shows, radio sweepstakes, or halftime contests, but right now there's one being hosted directly by an automaker. By participating in Tesla's 'TeslaVision' contest, you could score a brand-new Model Y and a private tour of the Texas Gigafactory. In 2017, Tesla held 'Project Loveday,' a video contest named after a 10-year-old fan of the brand who wrote a letter to CEO Elon Musk suggesting that customers submit promotional video clips to make up for the company's lack of traditional advertising. That contest received thousands of submissions and was eventually won by none other than YouTube superstar Marques Brownlee. The TeslaVision Contest Now, Tesla is holding the TeslaVision contest as a follow-up to Project Loveday. According to the company, it's here 'to commemorate launching deliveries of New Model Y in all continents where we operate.' That new Model Y is the so-called Juniper version, which arrived earlier this year sporting hardware updates, a remodeled interior, and a Cybertruck-esque headlight bar. So, the TeslaVision contest—it is, in Tesla's words, 'a global celebration and showcase of the owners and fans who have always recognized the true value and impact of our products.' To participate, submit a video no longer than 90 seconds 'showing how Tesla vehicles give you more in your life—more freedom, more safety, more fun, more convenience.' That video must then be posted to YouTube and shared on X and Instagram with Tesla's accounts tagged, and then those links uploaded in the contest submission form on Tesla's site. In addition to the Model Y winner, two runners-up will get an all-expenses-paid private tour of the Gigafactory outside of Austin, Texas, which produces some Model Ys and every Cybertruck. We Have Some Thoughts Acclaimed as America's best-selling EV, one might imagine that the Model Y is in such high demand that it wouldn't be so available as to be offered up as a giveaway. Evidently, however, Tesla has enough idle inventory to make one the grand prize in the TeslaVision contest. The EV innovator has faced harsh backlash due to CEO Musk's controversial involvement in Donald Trump's presidential administration. It's possible that the TeslaVision contest is being held to gather and then promote positive takes from Tesla fans who remain unbothered by Musk's drastic social impact, and are uninterested in the numerous other EVs from brands that don't have the contentious symbolism that Tesla now does, in addition to potentially longer range, faster charging, better quality, greater comfort, prettier styling, or higher performance. To wit, we question how a video could be created under Tesla's suggested parameters. Regarding 'freedom,' the advantage Tesla once held by keeping its widespread Supercharger network exclusive to its own cars is slipping away as other EVs gain access, allowing rivals to also enjoy road trip ease. Regarding safety, the 2025 Model Y scores the highest five-star overall safety rating from NHTSA, as a plethora of other EVs do, but it no longer qualifies for IIHS Top Safety Pick as it did in years past. Furthermore, how Tesla's flagship Full Self-Driving (FSD) software has a propensity to make errors such as veering across a solid double yellow line into the oncoming lane of traffic makes safety seem tenuous at best. About fun, in our testing and assessments we've found Tesla vehicles don't have much to offer beyond the common EV attribute of quick straight-line acceleration, while rivals have superior chassis and handling refinement. To convenience, the spacious cabin, frunk and sub-trunk, and minimalistic layout found in Tesla vehicles contribute to that measure. However, the experience with MotorTrend 's 2023 Model Y long-term review car has often proved incredibly frustrating, such as the finicky flush-mounted exterior door handles, which often do nothing because the car doesn't recognize its smartphone app-based key, or how the cruise control can deactivate when using the windshield washers, or how, for now, using an adapter is necessary to charge on public Level 2 plugs. Hmm, maybe we wouldn't win this contest... positive thoughts! We should also point out the incongruity between asking fans and owners—many of whom likely already own a Model Y, given its ubiquity—to get excited about winning another one. If you're super excited about Tesla and want to show the company just how great you think it is and win a Model Y, you can submit your video clip to the TeslaVision contest website. Act soon, since the contest closes on July 17, 2025 or when 10,000 entries are received, whichever comes first.

2026 BMW XM Label First Look: Not to Label Things, But It's Now the Only XM
When BMW revealed the 2024 XM Label Red, it kicked off what was supposed to be a regular, annual release of 'Labels' as special editions of the XM plug-in hybrid sport SUV. Then, just before it was set to launch, the 'Red' part of its name was dropped, but BMW maintained that Labels would continue appearing each year alongside regular XMs. Now at the midpoint of 2025, the XM Label returns, but as a special edition no longer—per BMW, it's now the lone trim level available on the 2026 XM. The 2026 BMW XM Label, now the sole XM model, features a 738-hp hybrid powertrain, improved 11 kW charging, and updated suspension. It offers new color options and interior themes. Pricing is pending, with production starting in August 2025 at BMW's Spartanburg plant. This summary was generated by AI using content from this MotorTrend article Read Next With 738 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque between its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine and electric motor, the 2026 XM Label remains BMW M's most powerful production vehicle on sale. When we tested the 2024 version (with the same power), it rocketed to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, two tenths of a second quicker than BMW's claim. For 2026, BMW isn't changing the XM's performance claims, so you can expect the same blistering performance from the 2026 XM Label. To recap, the high-performance PHEV is normally limited to 155 mph, but an optional M Driver's Package ups that limit to 175 mph. BMW has updated the throttle map, hopefully a move that addresses our complaints that the original XM's throttle pedal response felt jumpy and made modulating acceleration challenging. Another sore spot is being addressed this year, too: Charging speeds. With the ability to plug in and charge, the 2024 XM Label really could have done with some faster charging to match the incredible road speed it's capable of. The 2026 XM Label ditches last year's 7.4-kW AC charge rate for a more competitive 11 kW. The battery's net capacity remains 19.2 kWh, so plugging into a Level 2 charger should result in faster refills. It's a little disappointing BMW doesn't offer DC fast charging, which would be even quicker, as the battery pack is rated at 317 volts and DC charging could offer some additional charging options away from home (or, you know, at a racetrack to maintain peak performance). Regardless, with the 2026 XM's pack voltage and capacity unchanged from the 2024 version, we expect around the same 31 miles of all-electric driving at speeds up to 87 mph. It will also come with impressive stopping power with a set of six-piston fixed front calipers clamping down on M Compound brake pads and rotors while the rears will use single-piston floating calipers on M Compound equipment. The body rides on a set of BMW Adaptive M dampers and coil springs with a double-wishbone front and five-link rear systems. The suspension will also do its best to control a set of 23-inch 1096 M alloy wheels measuring 23x10 front and 23x11 rear with high-performance 275/35R23 and 315/30R23 tires, respectively. The new rollers will also sport a new Jet Black finish option, if the owner chooses. This new Jet Black wheel finish joins new exterior colors for the body in Frozen Tanzanite Blue metallic while a new 'welcome light' animation will help make the standout XM Label continue to do so in the dark. Inside, there will be three new colored themes through the BMW Individual program with Night Blue leather and Vintage Coffee accents, Black leather and Vintage Coffee accents, and Silverstone leather and Black accents. The comfort cushions for the rear seats will also match the selected leather surfaces, including the BMW Individual leather options we just mentioned. Otherwise, interior amenities remain the same as on the 2024 XM Label. Pricing won't be announced until closer to its production start, which is slated for August at BMWs Spartanburg plant in South Carolina. If you happen to be at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this weekend, you can see the 2026 BMW XM Label be unveiled live while the BMW M Hybrid V-8 racecar roars around the legendary endurance race in France.

The Super-Affordable 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV Is Coming Soon—Very Soon
We've known Chevrolet's next-generation Bolt, its most affordable electric model, was due later this year for quite some time. So while it might not seem newsworthy, at first, that General Motors effectively re-confirmed that fact in a humdrum press release touting investments in U.S. manufacturing, it's actually quite a big deal. After all, with many automakers scaling back their EV ambitions or frantically trying to spin up hybrids, GM is largely staying the course—a bet that's paying off handsomely, as the new affordable Equinox EV has sold so well, it's moved Chevy into second place on the EV sales charts. The new Bolt, which we've rendered above and will cost even less than the Equinox EV (pictured below and in the gallery), should push Chevrolet's electric sales even higher. The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV will begin production in late 2025, with availability likely starting in early 2026. Expected to cost around $30,000, it aims to offer nearly 300 miles of range and improve on the old Bolt's affordability and design. This summary was generated by AI using content from this MotorTrend article Read Next So, what did GM let slip about the new Bolt? The model year, for starters. Even though production is set to begin later in 2025 at GM's Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, the new Bolt will be a 2027 model-year introduction. We're not sure that means anyone needs to wait until 2027 to buy one—most likely, the Bolt will become available early in 2026. The Bolt's price tag, though not confirmed, is widely expected to land at or around the $30,000 mark, while delivering near or close to 300 miles of driving range. Chevrolet has confirmed that the new Bolt will use GM's Ultium component set—the branding of which has changed—meaning it's likely to incorporate the front motor from the entry-level Equinox EV and sit on a similar platform, albeit one smaller and more carlike than that SUV. A big change is headed for the battery, which will be GM's first LFP-style (lithium-iron phosphate) pack, which will make it more affordable. (The company has a three-pronged battery chemistry approach.) The Equinox EV's relatively modest charging specs—it uses a 400-volt architecture, not a pricier 800-volt setup—and DC fast charging speeds max out at a so-so 150 kW—should carry over, again, in a bid to keep things attainable. Regardless, the new Bolt is expected to drastically outpace the old Bolt, which also was super affordable (something that boosted its popularity in its waning years) but suffered from outdated and slow fast-charging speeds of just 50 kW. That old Bolt (below) also delivered more than 250 miles of range, a big reason to expect the new one to land somewhere between that distance and the Equinox EV's 315-mile best. The Bolt's lower, smaller body relative to that electric SUV should help its aerodynamics, while its smaller frontal area will surely boost range even if its battery is smaller than its Equinox sibling's. The Equinox EV already sets a smart standard for basic-yet-functional interior design, and the Bolt will no doubt borrow heavily from that model—namely its Google-equipped digital displays. Though the Bolt will be cheap, the Equinox (as well as the stylish yet affordable Trax) shows Chevy is getting very good at designing low-cost interiors that don't feel low-buck or crummy. We're expecting the Bolt to be larger than before but smaller than the Equinox EV, as well as less upright-feeling than its dumpling-shaped predecessor. It's possible GM tries to inject a little more driving fun into the Bolt, something the old version, while comfortable and refined, sorely lacked. All of GM's EV learnings up to this point are being poured into the Bolt. The automaker has learned a lot about EV customers, their wants, and their pain points, as well as its own technologies; all of that will be synthesized through a filter focused on affordability and accessibility. We're excited to see the new Bolt, and more important, its price. After all, the affordable EV space is heating up. There is a new Nissan Leaf on the way for 2026, and Tesla has promised (again) a more affordable model to slot in beneath its current Model 3. And with the $7,500 EV tax credit in trouble, EVs that are both good and cheap—with or without tax credits—will be critical to serving customers eager to go electric, but less eager to spend big money to do so.
