eBay Motors to give away a free Tesla Model S (taxes not included)

By Davis Adams Published April 21, 2014

This may be the easiest $100,000 ($102,170 to be exact) you’ve ever made.

The folks over at eBay Motors are giving away a free Tesla Model S P85. To win it, all you have to do to enter the sweepstakes is create an eBay Garage account or add a photo of your current ride to your existing profile.

Here at Digital Trends, we’re big fans of the Model S, from its sleek design and all-electric drivetrain to its exceptional build quality and killer interior technology. Hell, it’s probably fair to say that we even have a big, hopeless man-crash on Elon Musk himself.

With that in mind, there are few things we’d want more in this world than a free Tesla … except maybe this one. It’s the performance-oriented P85 model, which we’ve seen blow the doors off the new Chevy Stingray Z51 in a drag race. Yeah, that’ll do.

Just keep in mind that the taxes on your winnings are yours to pay, but that still feels like a steal to us. If you do win, though, we’ll want a ride.

Volvo is rolling out Apple Music to over 2 million cars with a simple OTA update

Your Volvo may soon get Apple Music without needing CarPlay

The line between your smartphone and your car continues to blur. Volvo has announced that it is rolling out an over-the-air software update that brings Apple Music directly to the infotainment systems of more than 2 million vehicles worldwide. Instead of relying on Apple CarPlay or plugging in an iPhone, eligible drivers will be able to stream music natively from their car's built-in system, making Apple Music another integrated feature of Volvo's software experience.

The update is arriving for a wide range of Volvo models, including the EX90, ES90, XC90, S90, V90, XC60, S60, V60, XC40, EX40 and EC40, covering model year 2020 onwards. Availability, however, may vary depending on the vehicle.

Chery’s latest EV packs flagship tech for the price of a base Tesla, but you can’t buy it

Here's everything packed into Exeed's 2027 Exlantix ES, from its 27-sensor autonomous driving suite to its 860 km range, all starting under $31,000.

Chery's premium arm just dropped a sedan that makes you wonder why American EVs cost twice as much for half the tech.

Exeed's 2027 Exlantix ES ships with a driver-assist system called Falcon 700. It is built around an Nvidia Orin-Y chip and a genuinely stacked sensor suite.

A new AI model wants self-driving cars to think before they swerve

Forget guessing games, this self-driving AI actually shows its work.

Self-driving cars have gotten pretty good at driving. The harder problem is teaching them to drive safely in situations nobody planned for. We have heard horror stories of self-driving cars, behaving erratically in emergency situations, often times delaying first responders from reaching the scene.

A team at Seoul National University, led by professor Jun Won Choi from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, thinks they have cracked part of that puzzle with a new AI model called SafeDrive. The research was recently selected as a highlight paper at CVPR 2026, a distinction that goes only to roughly 3% of all submissions.
