The 2026 Polestar 4 Is Flawed But Charming—And Probably Polestar's Best Yet The electric Polestar 4 SUV-coupe gets up to 310 miles of range, and loses its rear window for a camera system. Here's why it all works.

The refreshed Tesla Model Y "Juniper" is a fantastic car. Rides great, charging is worry-free, NVH is top tier, and efficiency is excellent. But can't sit back and watch Netflix still. FSD requires supervision a 100% of the time. Pay attention, don't die (or kill).

The 2026 Nissan Leaf After A Week: Surprisingly Great, Slightly Maddening The third-generation Nissan Leaf opens a new frontier for affordable EVs in America. Here are five things I loved about it, and two things I didn’t.
