Most new EVs and hybrids don't come with a spare tyre - and I learned that the hard way. Before you buy your next electric or hybrid car, watch this.

Tesla just slashed $20,000 USD off the Cybertruck - bringing it to its lowest ever price of US$59,990.
Why the cuts? Cybertruck sales collapsed 48% in 2025 - only 20,237 sold in the entire year. For context, that's just 1.2% of Tesla's total global deliveries.

Only 15 will ever be built. All of them Australian.

The GWM Tank 300 looks the part. Feels solid. And at around $50K driveaway it has so many ingredients of a brilliant SUV.
But there's one reason I wouldn't buy it.

Beijing has been building military 4x4s since 1951.
Now their latest - the BAW BJ212 - has been spotted testing in Australia in camouflage. It looks like it's from 1965. It was built in 2024. And it might just be coming for the Jeep Wrangler.
Would you buy one? 👇

Australia's first NVES results are in - and the winners and losers are clear.
Some brands generated hundreds of millions in CO₂ credits. Others racked up multi-million dollar liabilities.

The Zeekr 009 feels less like a car and more like a statement.
It’s excessive, unapologetic and completely unnecessary.
Which is exactly why it’s brilliant.

BYD has admitted its aftersales support hasn’t kept pace with its explosive growth in Australia - and fixing it is now a top priority.
With 85,000+ cars delivered already, the brand says it’s expanding dealers, investing in parts warehouses and pushing to cut service wait times.

Kia now offers 15 Sportage variants and nearly 20 Sorentos - and while they’re great cars, the buying experience is getting complicated.

Toyota just built its first electric seven-seater - and Australia isn’t getting it.
