Dutch Forensic Investigators Decrypt Tesla Driving Data, Revealing Treasure Trove Of Info
The Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) has managed to crack Tesla’s data encryption. According to the NFI, Tesla “only supplies a specific subset of signals, only the ones requested, for a specific timeframe,” which prompted the institute to attempt to decode the rest of the data in relation to an accident they were investigating. However, with this comes possible privacy concerns for users of Tesla vehicles.
Driven: The 2022 Audi S3 And A3 Are Your Fast And Sensible Baby Executive Sedans
As traditional junior execs, like the A4 and 3-Series, grew in size, the A3 used to be in a class of its own as a small four-door German sedan. But now, there’s competition from the likes of BMW’s 2-Series Gran Coupe and the Mercedes A-Class Sedan. Does the new sedan from Audi do enough to keep up with its rivals? And what about its hotter cousin, the 306-hp S3? To find out, we got behind the wheels of both to bring you our first impressions.
Honda Reveals New 2022 Civic Si With 200 HP Turbo And Type R’s rev-matching Tech
The 2022 Honda Civic Si is sure to please the purists, as it’s only available with a manual gearbox and features a healthy 200 hp. While not quite the firecracker that the Type R will be, the new car features the same rev-matching tech for seamless shifts. Other highlights include a lighter flywheel and stiffer chassis, while the exhaust system has been refined too. Meanwhile, the manual-only ′box features 10 percent shorter throws.
2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Embraces Luxury And Tech, Gains New AT4X And Denali Ultimate Trims
The 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 ups the luxury ante by introducing two new trim levels: the Denali Ultimate and AT4X. The Denali Ultimate claims to be the “most advanced and most luxurious pickup in its class,” while the new AT4X blends comfort with off-road capability. Moreover, the entire range gets revised styling and cabin improvements with a greater focus on tech. SLE and above trims get an all-new upscale interior, with large screens, built-in apps, and voice control.
New 2022 Range Rover Leaked Ahead Of Next Week’s Reveal
While, thanks to an earlier official teaser, we knew the next-generation Range Rover wasn’t going to be a break-out new design, perhaps we expected the front and sides to be a little bit different. But, thanks to multiple leaks, we can see that the 2022 Range Rover really does look almost identical to the one it replaces. The rear features the most significant revisions, with slim vertical lamp units that appear as black panels when not illuminated and are connected via a transverse panel below the rear window on which the Range Rover lettering is fixed. The official unveiling will take place on October 26.
Tesla Cybertruck Inches Closer To Production As Prototype Spotted With Side Mirrors And Wipers
Although delayed until 2022, testing of the Tesla Cybertruck appears to be going full steam ahead.

Foxconn Unveils Model C, Model E And Model T EVs With Up To 740 HP
When it comes to naming, we’ve often seen furor when brands step on each other’s toes (see: Porsche vs. Peugeot with the 901 and 911). So we’re not sure Ford (or even Tesla for that matter) will be thrilled with Foxconn’s concept names, but nevertheless, the Foxtron Model C, Model E, and Model T were all revealed at the company’s Tech Day event. The Model C is a relatively stylish crossover that features a carbon fiber hood and slender headlights. The Model E was jointly designed with Pininfarina and has a sloping-roof sedan design. Finally, the Model T is described as a “stylish urban bus” and pretty much does what it says on the tin.
