Elon Musk has a bad habit (ok, maybe more than one) and it is to make grandiose announcements with promises that are later postponed, over and over and over again. We have already seen it throughout the history of Tesla and the delay in the case of the Cybertruck pick-up is striking, although the deadlines were also missed with the Semi model, the company’s electric truck. Given this concatenation of broken promises, Renault took the opportunity to make fun of the American company. As it did? posted a video showing a worker putting up a sign for the Tesla Semi. About that, a legend says: “There are those who make great announcements”. Then, on images of the same person getting into an electric Renault truck, a legend says “And there are those who are alr...
The skoda yeti It is one of those cars that are not in the memory of people, a product that may seem at first glance that it passed without pain or glory through the automotive scene. But it was not just an urban SUV. The Yeti was born at a time when SUVs and crossovers they weren’t that popular yet (the germ came with the Dodge Caliber and Nissan Qashqai). Like most of the firm’s models, it was incredibly practical, but it also had good capabilities. off road, surprising considering the clientele to which the model was intended. His skills off the asphalt were achieved thanks to generous ground clearance and the ability to equip a viscous-coupled all-wheel drive system (based on the company’s 4Motion system).

As with people, there are cars that have received a lot of exposure over the years and others that are unfairly overlooked. The latter, on many occasions, end up receiving the recognition they deserve, either by rediscovering it at some point in history or by having a feature that makes it a special vehicle. One of them may well be Alfa Romeo Alphatta. The Italian model is not only becoming more sought-after, or driving wonderfully given that it shares some of the drivetrain design with Ferrari, but because its strangely mutated instrument cluster and center console design were years ahead of its time. First of all, let’s give a brief history lesson: the Alfetta in its sedan body was introduced in 1972 and the coupé in 1974, replacing the Giulia (105/115) of the 1960s and early 1970s...

If we want to reduce the use of fossil fuels on the planet, we will have to bet on electricity produced by renewable sources. They have a problem: they have to install a lot of generation capacity, since sometimes there is no sun, or the wind does not blow enough, or the water is needed for other purposes.
