Tesla, as you may know, is the fastest growing automaker in the world over the last two decades and it’s the most successful new car manufacturer to come into the market since Hyundai which was founded in 1967. Tesla was just founded in 2003. With new innovative technologies coming out every day, there is literally a new “speed race” going on. Tesla isn’t just a one-hit wonder; the automaker’s got more than a handful of products in its lineup. Here’s a list of all of them:

The Lucid vs Tesla war is actually a lot deeper than one can imagine. Lucid is currently spearheaded by Peter Rawlinson, the man who is responsible for the Tesla Model S! So, in its essence, the Lucid Air can be considered as the Model S’ spiritual successor. The Tesla Model S has made a name for itself as a premium electric sedan and didn’t face stiff competition from any other electric car until the Lucid Air came out. That says a lot, doesn’t it? The Air has countered the Model S on almost all fronts; range, performance, features and specs, etc. Looks are subjective, so we’ll let you decide which one looks better. And, as for the pricing, the Air starts cheaper than the Model S, but goes well over the Tesla’s pricing. Now, given how the Air is spec’d pitting it against the standard Model S doesn’t seem fair. But, how does it compare to the Tesla Model S Plaid? Well, that’s what we will find out in this guide!

When the renewed Ford Bronco broke cover last year, it shook up the off-roader SUV segment, which Jeep has dominated for over two decades. With top-rated hardware and beefy looks, the new Bronco was a beast of a machine through and through. It was an all-new rig designed to take on the Wrangler head-on. Available in several flavors including a more consumer-friendly Bronco Sport, Ford offered a more off-road-oriented Sasquatch package for those folks wanting to venture far off the beaten track.

But just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Ford chose to apply the full-blown Raptor treatment to the Bronco. Unofficially dubbed the ’BRAPTOR’,the Bronco Raptor which made its debut earlier this year in January, does carry a price premium. The question is if the Bronco Raptor is worth that price premium and how exactly does it square up against the standard Bronco? Well, you’re about to find out.

Porsche made its foray into the world of mainstream electric cars with the Taycan sedan a couple of years ago and the model line-up has evolved quite a bit since then. They introduced a base model with a rear-wheel-drive variant and then went on to add some practical wagons in the form of the Sport Turismo and Cross-Turismo. Currently, you can choose from 14 different configurations of the Taycan.

While the Cross Turismo went on sale a while back, Porsche decided to expand the Taycan range with the GTS line, which broke cover at the L.A. Auto Show in November last year. This wagon ditches the body cladding and combines the practicality of the Taycan Cross Turismo with the driving capabilities of the standard Porsche Taycan. Also, a Porsche spokesperson confirmed to CarAndDriver that the Taycan Sport Turismo is currently only coming in GTS guise to the U.S. market.

The 2022 Stinger is Kia’s flagship offering and it recently received an update to keep things fresh.

WRX - is a nameplate that is one of the all-time greats in the automotive universe, thanks in part to Colin McRae who dominated the world of World Rally Championship with an Impreza WRX, back in the 90s. Building on that success, around the turn of the century, Subaru finally brought the rally-bred Impreza WRX to America. A reasonably priced turbocharged all-wheel drive sport compact with a six-speed manual transmission, the Impreza WRX was quick to gain a huge fan following.

So clearly, when tinkering with a name as legendary as the WRX, Subaru had to tread carefully. It became a stand-alone model when it went on sale in 2015 and after seven years on the market, Subaru has finally given it a substantial makeover. Enter the 2022 Subaru WRX. The model is now in its fifth generation and has transitioned to the new Subaru Global Platform, and the company claims that this is the most extensive makeover that the WRX has ever seen.

Despite there being a plethora of electric trucks in the market now - the Ford F-150 Lightning, the GMC Hummer EV, and the Tesla Cybertruck, to name a few – here’s why the R1T will be the one standing tall.
