The world’s first Tesla Cybertruck Dual is truly amazing
The electric pickup truck has a pair of massive 26-inch wheels covered with 35-inch tires. Despite the new fenders, the OEM charging port remains. There's no word yet on how much the upgraded wheels will reduce the truck's mileage. A ton of Tesla Cybertrucks came to Las Vegas for SEMA last week, but the one that stood out the most was a store in Florida you've probably never heard of: Reds Miami. It built the world's first dual-cylinder Cybertruck, which is bound to divide opinion. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP") { adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); Normally, dual setups are limited to heavy-duty pickup trucks, but considering all the buzz around the Cybertruck, it was only a matter of time before someone decided to put two extra wheels on the rear. Just days before SEMA, Tesla's polarizing pickup truck was converted into a dual vehicle. Read: You can lease a Tesla…
BMW’s 2025 2 Series Gran Coupe is powerful and has dual power
The 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is equipped with a more powerful engine and has increased in height and length. North American models come standard with M Sport styling and adaptive M suspension. A 7-speed dual-clutch transmission replaces the 8-speed automatic as the only transmission option. BMW recently announced a shake-up of its design team, which means the new 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe may be the last in its polarizing design lineup. If you can live with the Kia-esque looks, the new 2025MY 2 Series promises more power, more technology, and more standard options. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd(" 6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); We say all-new, but in reality, the 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is a heavily revised version of the outgoing model, much like its European 1 Series hatchback cousin. Under the surface, much remains the same, with the car retaining…
Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 and GLE 450 recalled due to airbags
Mercedes is recalling 12,000 GLE-Class vehicles to fix front airbag issues. October 6, 2024 — Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 and GLE 450 front airbags may not deploy properly because the front accelerometer sensor harness may not be routed correctly. The approximately 12,000 2021-2022 Mercedes GLE 350 and 2021-2022 Mercedes GLE 450 vehicles affected by this recall may require rewiring. "In the event of a frontal collision, the sensor's wiring harness may be damaged and may trigger dual-stage frontal airbag deployment rather than single-stage deployment." — Benz This could cause the airbag to injure the occupants rather than protect them. Mercedes says it will not issue warnings of problems before an accident occurs. Mercedes reviewed internal crash tests conducted in 2021 that resulted in dual-stage airbag deployment, rather than single-stage deployment. Engineers investigated the erroneous test results and determined that the wiring harness leading to the airbag acceleration sensor was incorrectly routed in the target vehicle. More than 1,200 of the recalled…

Understanding Dual Clutch Transmission: Advantages,
Humans have been tinkering with gears since the invention of pulley systems and have now perfected them in our vehicle transmissions. The automotive industry has seen a revolution in the transmission of energy from the engine to the axles, from traditional manual systems to automatic transmissions. Dual Clutch Transmission Technology (DTC) is one such efficient technology and the core of this blog. Dual Clutch Transmission: Overview A dual clutch transmission is an automatic transmission that uses two separate clutches to control the vehicle's odd and even gears. This design is based on two separate manual transmissions and their supporting clutches, which work as a single unit within one housing. How a Dual Clutch Transmission Works The main purpose of using a dual clutch transmission is to eliminate the need to interrupt the supply of torque to the shaft when changing gears. A dual clutch transmission allows the odd gear to be pre-selected while the vehicle is engaged with the even…

Dual vs. Single Zone Vehicle Climate Control
What are the Drawbacks to Dual-Zone Climate Control Systems? One of the biggest drawbacks to a dual-zone system is cost. Generally speaking, dual-zone systems are more expensive than single-zone systems. If you’re purchasing a new car, the cost difference may not be significant, but if you’re purchasing a used car, the price difference between single-zone and dual-zone systems can be substantial. So, if cost is a major factor in your decision, it’s worth considering whether the added cost of a dual-zone system is worth it to you. Another potential downside to dual-zone systems is complexity. Dual-zone systems are more complex than single-zone systems, which means they can be more difficult and expensive to repair if something goes wrong. The additional components and sensors required for dual-zone systems can also add weight to the car, which can impact fuel efficiency. So, if you’re someone who prioritizes simplicity and ease of maintenance, a single-zone system may be a better option for you.…
