Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.

10 Best-Selling SUVs of 2024 (So Far)

As you might imagine, the staff here at InsideEVs has a lot of thoughts about electric cars and the future of transportation. Arguably, we'd be healthier, more well-rounded people if we thought less about EVs. Most likely, we'd be more fun at parties too. But that's not really our jam...

The Future Electric Vehicles We're Most Excited About

Only one of 12 built, I took a ride in the massive 1939 Futurliner back in 2021, which was a good time. Few vehicles turn heads like General Motors's Futurliner. Built in the 1930s, the fleet of a dozen streamliners showcased American industrial might and GM's technological prowess. They toured across North America, taking a break for WWII, with the fleet of buses parked for good after 1956. From there, each Futurliner had its own journey to eventual restoration, dilapidation, or obscurity.

This Might Be Your Only Chance to Own GM's Ultra-Rare Pre-War Creation

Despite a parade of electric vehicles that can travel more than 300 miles on a charge, range anxiety remains a major hurdle to widespread adoption particularly in the US. There is, however, a “no-duh” antidote to allay fears of being stranded mid-trip: put a charger on the car. While traditional hybrid vehicles use gas to turn the wheels, a new crop of cars are burning it exclusively to charge a large onboard battery. It’s a strategy one might expect from an 8-year-old’s brainstorm, and it’s not a particularly efficient solution or a cheap one. But in an age of janky charging infrastructure and fraught, polarizing politics, electric motors juiced by an onboard, gas-sipping generator could be a killer EV app.

A New Wave of Electric Vehicles Are Ready to Charge at 70 MPH

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ll be aware that multi-million-dollar cars require eye-watering amounts of money just for simple maintenance and servicing, especially if it’s a Bugatti. Over the years, we’ve had many Bugatti owners tell us how insanely expensive it is to own a hypercar. While a 27-year-old recently claimed that his $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Carbon goes a mere 62 miles on a full tank of fuel, renowned entrepreneur and influencer Manny Khoshbin has given a detailed account of the ownership cost of his Veyron in the past. He claimed that all fluids have to be changed each year, and that costs a whopping $25,000.

The owner of a $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron was shocked when the official service center quoted him $12,000 to replace a faulty door mirror switch. The clever owner took it to a supercar specialist who swapped it with an identical part from a Volkswagen van, which cost just $1.

Neglecting to change your car's oil is about the worst thing you can do for your engine. Motor oil is the lifeblood of your car, cleaning out debris and particulates as it circulates through all the pipes and crevices of your engine. So having fresh oil is vital. Go tens of thousands of miles without changing it, and really bad stuff can happen.

Teardown Reveals How Bad Things Get When You Don't Change Your Oil

There's a new supercar maker on the block. Nilu27, a brand founded by Koenigsegg and Bugatti designer Sasha Selipanov, has just revealed its first car: the NILU. Rather than leaning into cutting-edge tech like turbocharging or hybrid assistance, this car takes the purist approach, using a naturally aspirated V-12 connected to a gated manual transmission. It even has gullwing doors.
