Over Half of Tesla Owners Are Trading Their EVs in for Gas Cars

When it comes to electric vehicles (EVs), potential range degradation over time and use has haunted owners for what seems like an eternity. However, as battery technology improves, and so does EV longevity, these fears can slowly be phased out. For instance, the YouTube channel AutoTrader has been documenting a Tesla Model S from 2016 with over 430,000 miles on the clock from to its eight years of service as an airport taxi. Surprisingly, the car has been able to pull this off without requiring a battery or motor replacement of any kind.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

(CBS DETROIT) - An F-16 fighter jet from the Ohio Air National Guard landed safely in Ohio after having an emergency while flying over Michigan. The jet needed to drop two fuel tanks, one of which exploded in a lake. At about 1:15 p.m. on Wednesday, the Iosco County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of an explosion in the area of Baldwin Resort Road near Lake Huron, according to a release.Law enforcement authorities discovered two F-16s from the 180th Fighter Squadron in Toledo were operating in the area. One had declared an emergency and dumped two full external fuel tanks. One of the tanks landed in Lake Huron and exploded, while the other landed in the Baldwin Plaza parking lot, which includes a Tractor Supply, Sav-a-lot, and a Michigan Secretary of State location. There was minor damage to a few vehicles, but no one was injured, according to the sheriff's office. The sheriff's office initially called water rescue teams after receiving the call about the emergency because they didn't know if there was a plane or pilot ejection in the water. No plane or pilots were actually in the water, but the U.S. Coast Guard recovered part of the suspected fuel tank from the lake.
