What's it like to slide a priceless prototype EV across a lake? And can the extra 1,000 pounds Audi's new RS5 gained really be worth it? That and plenty more in my latest newsletter. open.substack.com/pub/timstevens…

We are lucky to have two "World's Largest" arcades in the United States. Which is truly the largest? The answer may surprise you... because it doesn't matter. They're both amazing. Had an absolute blast investigating this piece for @arstechnica arstechnica.com/gaming/2026/03…

The BMW i3 is more than an electrified 3 Series. It's the next step in BMW's rollout of its next-gen EV platform, and a huge step forward for vehicle control dynamics. It's also a proper hoot on the ice.

I am sadly unable to tell you a damned thing about what it's like for another few days yet, so you'll just have to use your imagination for now on how this 630hp PHEV drives. Stay tuned...

Greetings from Marrakesh, where I've just spent a few days behind the wheel of Audi's new RS5, which pairs a 2.9-liter V6 with a pair of turbos and a pair of electric motors.

Switching from tech journalism to automotive journalism has resulted in a number of strange confluences over the years. This, though, is the one that’s left me feeling some deja vu: A Ferrari interior available in aluminum anodized in your choice of silver, gray, or rose gold.

@pcguy8088 @verge It does make sure the landing area is clear. Not sure about pets, but the idea is you're not going to leave it sitting there for long.

@Tim_Stevens @verge Does the drone check for pets like dogs etc in the area before depositing the delivery or is it a race to see what gets to the package first. You or the neighbourhood critters.

Drone delivery is a reality but, as is so often the case, the future is not yet widely distributed. I made a run down to suburban Dallas to get an inside look at what Zipline is serving. Spoiler alert: it was the hottest, freshest burrito I've ever had delivered.

Patents are still pending and there’s still a ton of third-party testing ahead, but if Donut Lab’s bold claims at CES hold up, this could be an absolutely pivotal moment in the EV era. Details on that plus the other big automotive news at CES 2026 here: timstevens.substack.com/p/donut-labs-s…

If you love everything about the Sony Honda Mobility Afeela 1 but think it's roughly two inches too short to support your active lifestyle, have I got some good news for you -- assuming you're not looking to buy until 2029 or so... engadget.com/transportation…

Just found this in an old duffel bag, my 2003 USGP ticket, flier, and car parking pass. I remember being blown away by parking on the back straight of the Indy oval! $75 for premium grandstand tix was a stretch for me back then. Similar seating would probably cost 10x today.
