The Rolls Royce Wraith: An interior fit for a king – or more realistically – a Saudi Prince

The latest Rolls Royce Wraith debuts next month in Geneva. But to tie us over until then, Rolls has released two photos of the simply stunning Wraith interior.

Built by hand in Goodwood England, the Wraith epitomizes Rolls’ attention to detail and luxury. Sir Henry Royce and his design team used to spend summers in Le Canadel in the South of France. Modern day Rolls designers wanted to hint to that heritage with what it calls the “horseshoe sweep” cabin – whatever that means.

Pompous blithering aside, the Wraith interior is the kind we only wish everyday automakers were capable of. The clock, for example, features a blood orange hand, which stands as not only a striking accent mark against the dark tones of the interior but also as a hint to the Wraith’s performance prowess.

It’s clear from these two teaser photos, Rolls has spared not expense to achieve world-class luxury and refinement. For that, we applaud the bespoke automaker. Just look; all-wood door panels. How amazing is that?

We recently reported that Rolls Royce was kicking around the idea of a new V16 engine. Could the Wraith set to be unveiled in Geneva next week feature such a wondrous powerhouse? It’s doubtful. But with such stunning detail as we see here, we’re not that bothered.

One detail we found rather amusing was the Rolls Royce media site offers the Wraith interior press release in two languages: English and Arabic. Rolls Royce might have its head stuck in the clouds, but at least no one can accuse the brand of being unrealistic.

Having never been die hard fans of German-owned, British luxury yachts like Rolls Royce, we now find ourselves eagerly anticipating the Wraith reveal. So you can rest assured we’ll bring you details as soon as they’re made available to us.

The 10 best car battery brands in 2024
How to test a car battery

You must know this, but your car needs a battery to run properly. A dead battery means a car won't start, but various electronics in the car won't work properly either, including overhead dome lights, the radio, and even some security features, like door locks or alerts. So, it's in your best interest to ensure your vehicle's battery is in tip-top shape at all times. It's especially important if your car or vehicle sits unused for long periods. A trickle charger can help keep the battery powered in those situations, or worst case, a portable jump starter can help you get it going. But eventually, you're going to need to replace your battery, and it will help to know the best car battery brands out there so you know precisely what to replace your old one with. Let's discuss.
AC Delco
In operation for more than a century, AC Delco has been recommended as "the only batteries" for GM vehicles. You'll find them at retailers like AutoZone, O'Reilly Auto Parts, Amazon, and even some Walmarts. They're reliable, reasonably priced, and come with a good warranty, 18 months or above, depending on where you buy. A great AC Delco battery to call out is the Advantage series.

Bosch
Bosch is a solid mid-grade battery provider both in quality and price. They do have some affordable options, but their premium lines are still reasonably priced, with several tiers available for a wide variety of vehicles. The downside is that Bosch batteries are not carried by all retailers like some of the other options on our list, but you can find them online. You can also visit a Bosch service center if there's one near you. Callouts are the S4 to S6 series and the T4 to T6 series. We will say the brand's four-year free replacement warranty is unmatched.

Tesla’s fix for faulty Cybertruck pedal is simpler than you might think
Tesla Cybertruck

Less than five months after handing over the first Cybertrucks to customers, Tesla has had to recall the electric pickup to fix an issue with the accelerator.

In a notice issued on Friday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that the recall impacts Cybertruck vehicles manufactured from November 13, 2023, to April 4, 2024. This suggests that all -- or almost all -- of the 3,878 Cybertrucks being recalled are those that have been manufactured to date.

Ford Mustang Mach-E 2024 vs. Mach-E 2023: What’s new in Ford’s electric Mustang?
Blue Ford Mustang Mach-E on a rooftop

The Ford Mustang Mach-E is easily one of the best EVs for the price, offering a solid range, sleek design, and pretty good tech on the inside. In recent years, it has gotten even cheaper -- thanks in large part to a price war between it and the Tesla Model 3. And, the company just took the wraps off of the latest and greatest version of the Mach-E, labeled as the 2024 model.

The 2024 Mustang Mach-E is notably different from the 2023 iteration in some meaningful ways. So much so that we decided to take a look at the two head-to-head -- to see if it was better to pay for the 2024 model or save some cash on any remaining 2023 stock.
Design
The Mustang Mach-E looks relatively unique -- in a good way. And thankfully, Ford has largely kept the overall design the same for the 2024 model, at least when it comes to the more consumer-focused models. The car retains the slatted taillights and crossover size. It also offers a large selection of colors, including the very blue Grabber Blue Metallic, as well as Rapid Red Metallic. It's a good selection of colors, and there should be an option for most buyers.
