For sale (maybe): Trump's red Tesla, low miles, almost new
Searching for a hardly sat-in luxury EV in cherry red? The president might be willing to cut you a deal. A day after his very public spat with Elon Musk, the White House signaled Friday that President Donald Trump might be joining the ranks of buyers with Tesla remorse and surrender the keys to his nearly new Model S. Trump bought the sedan in March, calling it 'a great product, as good as it gets' to show his support for the Tesla CEO. The gesture was meant to counter some of the public backlash to Musk's involvement with the U.S. DOGE Service, some of which was funneled toward Tesla dealerships, charging stations and even some car owners in the form of vandalism and protests. Trump's unorthodox car show on the South Lawn of the White House in March marked the apex of his cozy relationship with the billionaire, who spent at least $288 million to help return him to the Oval Office. Because U.S. presidents and vice presidents are prohibited from driving on public roads, Trump's purchase of the Tesla was more symbolic than functional. But fissures in their relationship emerged soon after Musk exited DOGE, blowing up in spectacular fashion Thursday, as the two exchanged a barrage of threats, digs and accusations on social media. Now that the alliance is apparently over, a senior White House official said Friday that Trump is thinking of selling the luxury EV that Car and Driver says retails from $80,000 to more than $100,000. If he does, he'd be among the wave of Tesla owners unloading their cars. Trade-ins surged in March as Musk and DOGE moved to dramatically cut the federal workforce. The buyers who once proudly touted their Teslas had soured on the cars, dampening the company's performance. Given the provenance of Trump's Model S, it may sell for a collector's bounty. But if it were subject to the traditional used car market, it might go for far less than its MSRP. The TrueCar online marketplace on Friday listed one 2024 Model S for sale within 500 miles of Washington, with just 4,760 miles on the odometer, and an asking price of $54,980 — 28 percent below the 2024 MSRP listed in Car and Driver. By comparison, prices for 2024 electric BMW i5 vehicles with 4,000 to 5,000 miles were about 13 percent below their MSRP. The move comes at a rocky time for Tesla, which saw its shares fall nearly 14.7 percent this week and is now down more than 26.8 percent year-to-date, according to MarketWatch. In the first quarter, the company recorded its largest drop in deliveries in history, coming in 50,000 units below last year. This week, Goldman Sachs lowered its second quarter vehicle delivery estimates for Tesla, pointing to 'demand/brand issues' turning off consumers in U.S. and European markets. Dan Ives, managing director at Wedbush Securities and a longtime Tesla bull, said that the 'major beef' between Musk and Trump has been 'a shock to the market' that puts 'major fear' into the hearts of Tesla investors as they consider how far the feud might go. 'This must start to be calmed down on the Musk and Trump fronts,' Ives said in commentary Thursday. 'It's not good for either side.'

Watch a BMW Guru Design a 3D-Printable 1,800-HP Turbo Manifold
The latest car news, reviews, and features. I've gained a lot of respect for (and interest in) the power of 3D printing custom car parts after chatting with a 3D designer. Today, another really cool perspective on this style of manufacturing came across my desk—a video documenting the engineering of, as well as the fine-tuning of, custom turbo plumbing with parts that are 3D printed out of steel. The kicker is, the parts cost a lot less money than you might expect. Jon Volk is known in the custom BMW community for making exhaust manifolds that people attach turbos to and make big power with. You'll see his name pop up in plenty of old forum threads on E30 and E36 tuning, especially. Lately, you'll find him doing more with digital part engineering and 3D printing on his YouTube channel Couch Built where he's 'Building cars, mostly from the couch, with use of 3D scanning, Fusion360, and some bloody knuckles sprinkled in.' He's the guy behind the 13B rotary-powered BMW i8 project we wrote about earlier this year. In a new video he uploaded, he walks us through the process of designing a new exhaust manifold for an absolutely insane G80 BMW M3—a 1,000-plus horsepower monster owned by Jordan Horowitz. He's also a big Bimmer modder with a shop called RK Tunes on Long Island. The setup on this M3 is downright hilarious. You're looking at the opposite of a sleeper. Couch Built/YouTube I was initially intrigued by this video because of the 'it's cheaper than you thought' aspect of the title, but I got sucked in watching Volk showcase how he optimized the exhaust manifold design and general plumbing of the turbo kit on his computer. It's really neat to see the project come together. Volk explains how things are laid out and tweaked virtually, and then instead of sending plans to a fabricator like somebody might have done a few years ago, he simply sends his designs to a 3D printing company and gets them quoted. In this case, he's sponsored by JLC3DP, which 3D prints everything he mocked up for about $2,200. That's not a plastic mock-up piece, that's a real, steel, turbo kit (minus the turbo) that's nearly ready for installation when it arrives in the mail. That's comparable to the price of a high-quality performance header a decade ago. But don't get too excited, that price excludes a critical factor—Volk's time and expertise. The parts were only $2,200 once he knew what shape they had to be. If you need to pay somebody to do the design, that'll be a much bigger portion of your modding budget. At least, until AI can design an exhaust manifold (probably the not-too-distant future, honestly). Still, that's less money than you'd have spent on the fabrication of something like this in the past. And just the fact that this kind of single-unit manufacturing is available is pretty amazing. Check out the video of the design, take a look at what Volk had to do to clean up the part once it showed up. The clip will give you a sense of the current state of high-end exhaust tuning. Horowitz also uploaded a video about the part, which you can check out for even more context if you want to go deeper: I have so much respect for the engineers and tuners who can dial in stuff like this. I'm just happy if I can keep mice from eating my stock E46. Got a tip? Drop us a line at tips@
