Tesla's family is about to grow again, with the Model Y SUV set to make its official debut later this week. Slotting in between the Model 3 and the larger, more expensive Model S and Model X, the all-electric crossover could well be Tesla's most popular car so far.
Tesla has removed its Pole Position Easter Egg from its cars, after failing to secure the rights to distribute the classic Atari title. The game was added to the Tesla Model S, Model X, and Model 3 last year, as part of the Tesla v9.0 update, alongside two other classics from the back-catalog.
Tesla made a controversial decision last month when it announced that it would be closing all of its stores and going online only for sales of its EVs. Many in the automotive industry wondered how this would work as it would mean no ability for buyers to see, touch, or drive prior to purchase. Tesla has now announced that it is going back on those plans.
The last few months have seen an increase in Tesla Model 3s on the road as more of the earliest buyers have received their car. This surge in visibility means that when the carmaker finally launched the long-awaited $35,000 base model just over a week ago, interest in the vehicle was at its highest. As you'd expect, this popularity has resulted in a huge number of orders, forcing Tesla to extend its delivery timelines.
You can't accuse Fiat of having mild ambitions with the Fiat Concept Centoventi.

Porsche will increase its production of the upcoming Taycan all-electric sports sedan, after early reservations for the EV blew through the automaker's predictions.

Mclaren's cars are already sexy and fast, but when MSO gets hands on the "normal" McLaren cars, even better things happen. The customized McLaren 720S Spider by MSO is a beautiful car swathed in a blend three different MSO metallic colors. MSO created a color called Coriolis, which is a blend of Cerulean Blue, Burton Blue, and Abyss Black.
There are lots of Americans out there that would like to have a slick wagon, or shooting brake but alas the wagon isn't that popular here, so few are offered. One of the few options comes from VW with the Golf wagon and Alltrack, and another is from Subaru with the Outback. Mercedes has a new shooting brake for Europe that is billing as a sports car with load space.
Fast charging isn't a necessity for mobile devices only. While electric cars offer fewer worries about carbon footprints, they increase worries about charging times and the number of charging stations available. Tesla has already addressed the latter with 12,000 superchargers across the world. Now it is addressing charging speeds with its new V3 Supercharging upgrade that can reduce charging times down to an average of 15 minutes.
The Geneva Motor Show 2019 isn't short on SUVs, but the Alfa Romeo Tonale concept manages to stand out by virtue of its combination of style and brand-firsts.
