By Joey Klender Posted on July 25, 2024 Tesla’s new, redesigned, and streamlined Climate Menu is getting its first looks after the automaker brought a new look to vehicles with a recent Software Update. Earlier this month, we reported that Tesla was making a number of changes to its Climate Control settings. Along with a new feature that would calm the fan level while on the ‘Auto’ setting during a phone call to decrease ambient noise, Tesla’s release notes stated it would also roll out a new, redesigned Climate Control panel. Some owners complained about the lack of ease there was when making adjustments to the vehicle’s temperature or airflow, which enticed Tesla to make some changes.

Which luxury electric SUV would you choose, the Acura ZDX or Cadillac Lyriq? After slashing financing rates, the Acura ZDX may be a better buy than the Cadillac Lyriq or Chevy Blazer EV. With up to $7,200 off a fully loaded ZDX, Acura looks to take a piece of the EV market. Acura first revealed it was launching the ZDX, its first fully electric vehicle, in 2022. The ZDX is based on GM’s Ultium platform, the same one underpinning the Cadillac Lyriq. A year later, Acura officially unveiled the ZDX. Acura said its first all-electric vehicle would be available in single and dual-motor powertrains, including a Type S model. After opening reservations earlier this year, we learned the 2024 ZDX would start at $64,500, much higher than the Cadillac Lyriq ($57,195). The Dual Motor A-Spec trim starts at $68,500, while the Type S and S Performance models cost $73,500 and $74,500, respectively. Acura is making the ZDX more attractive after slashing interest rates.

By Joey Klender Posted on July 24, 2024 SpaceX recently reported that its Starlink satellites are making a massive number of collision-avoidance maneuvers every day, raising questions about the increased orbital traffic and how companies are avoiding disaster. In its Semiannual Constellation Status Report , which was filed on July 1 by SpaceX, the company said that, on average, each Starlink satellite has had to fire its thrusters 14 times in the timespan of December 1, 2023, and May 31, 2024. With 6,200 active Starlink satellites orbiting the Earth , that accounts to roughly 50,000 collision-avoidance maneuvers in that span. Space.com initially reported on the avoidance maneuver frequency and noted that the fact it’s happening so much raises real questions about traffic. The site talked to Hugh Lewis, an astronautics professor at the University of Southampton in the U.K., who said the number of avoidance maneuvers, which has doubled compared to the sa
