We’d kill for a McLaren P1, Porsche 918, or LaFerrari. This guy owns all three

Few people in the world will ever get the chance to drive, much less own a McLaren P1, Porsche 918, or LaFerrari. Englishman Paul Bailey happens to have all three.

Having already possessed the keys to a brilliant Volcano Orange P1, Bailey set off to complete the holy trinity on January 24th with his wife Selena and news outlet Supercar Driver in tow.

First on the schedule was the Italian LaFerrari, which required a short drive to a lot in Nottingham, U.K. Of course, they made the voyage in the stunning P1, because why not. Bailey’s example was actually the first ever to be delivered in the U.K. and only the second globally.

Once the extravagant, Rosso Fiorano-clad Ferrari was signed off, the duo traveled to a Porsche dealership in Cambridge to complete the trio. 918 Spyder in tow, Bailey and his impressive entourage pranced down the motorway in a fashion that few others can do. As of this writing, each supercar is sold out.

Green with envy yet? Bailey, who calls himself a “serial supercar collector,” also owns a Porsche Carrera GT and Ferrari Enzo. Yeah, we kinda hate him too.

Supercar Driver also said that a 15-minute documentary detailing Bailey’s purchases is on the way, with a trailer debuting soon.

If you’re like us, you can’t get enough of these high-priced hybrid wonders. Top Gear Series 22 is currently underway, which will likely a full-length comparison video of all three cars. Top Gear Magazine released a short driving clip of the trio last week, which gives us another tasty look at the cars in action.

As for Mr. Bailey? You can learn more about him and his Volcano Orange P1 in the video below.

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.

Tesla to begin production on new, more affordable models
Tesla Model 3

With competition increasing from Chinese and other automakers, Tesla boss Elon Musk revealed on Tuesday that his company is planning to begin production of new, more affordable models in “early 2025, if not late this year.” Notably, that's earlier than the previously stated date of late 2025, though whether Musk actually succeeds in meeting the earlier production time frame is another question entirely.

The news came as Tesla released its latest quarterly figures. Revenue for the electric vehicle maker came in at $21.3 billion, down from the $23.3 billion it reported for the same three-month period a year earlier and also down from the $25.2 billion reported in the previous quarter. Profit reached $1.1 billion, marking a 55% fall compared to the same period a year ago.
