How clean is Solar Power, really? [Carbon Debt and liability]
Not that I have anything against solar panels but how clean are they actually? Solar power is getting a huge push from big countries like India and the European Union, and is fairly established in USA and China. Solar roofs are all in the vogue and there is even talks on solar cars and Aeroplanes. Next thing we need is solar power overtaking Petroleum to be an even bigger menace, as was the case with coal and the latter. Coal is still one of the dirtiest fuels but it was hard to carry, had low efficiency and produced lots of thick smoke. Petroleum on the other hand was efficient,…

It’s 2021 Cadillac Escalade not 2020 | Design and Specs
According to reliable sources, the next-gen Cadillac Escalade won’t be arriving in 2019. The range-topping model was first spied on December last year, and was expected to hit dealerships as a 2020 model. However, the SUV will only debut as 2021 model. It seems that GM wants a fresh start for the Cadillac range starting next decade. Most of their models will be upgraded in 2020 and the rest will probably be discontinued. Last we checked, there were no production delays keeping the new SUV back. 2021 Cadillac Escalade- What we’ve seen so far The first spy pictures of the 2021 Escalade were heavily camouflaged and it was hard to…

Tesla Model Y spotted for the first time
The Tesla Model Y has been spied for the first time. It was seen without any camouflage and seems production-ready. Unfortunately, we’ve only got this one picture but more are expected to come out soon. Why is this a surprise? Tesla was always late to the Crossover/SUV segment. The launched the model S in a segment which has huge demand for SUVs (delaying the model X by almost 3 years) and now they are pushing back the model Y, when there is a good demand for crossovers at the price. They could have used the current platform on the ‘Y’ and launched a crossover by as early as 2018 but now…

2021 Ford F150 spied for the first time! Changes
The next generation Ford F150 has been spied for the first time. It is expected to release late next year, as a 2021 model. The truck is wrapped in an unprecedented amount of camouflage, which either means that this is a very early prototype or has some kind of drastic change in design. We are going by the former, as for the most part, this one looks like the current model. It will not be completely devoid of changes though, and we expect a new front fascia, better bed and upgraded interior. 2021 Ford F150 spied- What’s revealed This particular model is riding on larger wheels (22”) and could be…

Hyundai i20 N Spied | Changes, Release & Engine
Hyundai i20 N has been spied for the first time, ending years of speculation on whether the supermini would actually be made. The spy pictures don’t paint anything too dramatic though, and for the most part, this one looks like the standard i20.

This should send a clear message to competitors like Volkswagen Polo GTI and the Ford Fiesta ST on what’s to come! Hyundai i20 N – When will it release? Hyundai usually takes their time with ‘N’ cars and the car spied here seems to be an early prototype. So the actual…

Best Motorcycle Exhaust brands available in USA
When it comes to motorcycle customizations, a general rule of thumb is to either change everything or not at all. Motorcycles are fun as is and people usually keep their’s in stock. However, if you are curious, changing the exhaust is a good start. A lot of owners buy after-market exhausts for their look and sound. Sound is an integral part of riding and its always better to have an exhaust note that fits your taste. These systems also add a healthy dose of power and torque by allowing smoother expulsion of gases, and at the same time reduce weight. Only downside- they cost a lot, both for buying and…

Rivian, Ford and Amazon! What’s up?
Rivian is big, way big! Bigger than we ever thought a company with zero cars in their production line could be. After attracting a 700 million investment from Amazon, they are getting additional $500 investment from market giant Ford. They were initially in talks with GM but that fizzled out, mostly for the better. Ford is unarguably the top dog in the truck segment and getting them on board is only going to raise confidence- both from stakeholders and consumers. Unofficial valuations put Rivian at $5-7 billion dollars- a number that is only expected to grow. Rivian- Everyone’s talking about them! Rivian is a Michigan-based electric mobility brand which burst…
