Small, spry solar-roofed tractor looks to replace diesel

For small-scale farmers, diesel is a recurring headache. A bill that swings with global oil prices and never really goes away. Battery power has been pitched as the fix for years, but it's barely made a dent in the tractor market. GoSun thinks it has found a way to close that gap using an energy source most farms already have in steady supply, sunlight.

Flatpack camping pod explodes a tiny van into a big camper van

Believe it or not, the Cubivan Camping System wasn't the only multi-component camper pod system at this year's Caravan Salon built to slide out and camp outside the van itself. The Ebicos Happy Dreamer isn't quite as extreme a setup, but it is a similar concept with simpler execution. The main sleeper pod packs down small to store easily at home, then loads neatly into small and midsize vans only to burst out the tailgate at camp and create an instant bedroom. Buyers can use it on its own to create an overnight sleeper van or add additional components to build a more complete RV.

Dyson does a toothbrush – with a built-in camera and water flosser

We all know how crucial oral hygiene is for our overall health. The rules are very straightforward: brush twice a day, for at least two minutes, and don’t skip flossing. Sounds simple enough, but often those two minutes can feel like an eternity. Flossing after? That’s where many of us give up, even though it can boomerang back in the form of expensive dental bills.

Stark goes dark with limited-edition Varg SM electric supermoto

In Norse mythology, Sköll is the name of a giant wolf that chases the sun across the sky. I’m not sure if that’s what Stark Future was going for with the Varg SM Sköll, but well, that’s what the limited-edition electric supermoto is named. But more important than the name and its exclusivity is what Stark has done with the bike.

Sub-500-lb camper pod builds rep as world's cutest (cheap) teardrop

Ever since we first laid eyes on it in 2022, the Kleox trailer has been one of our all time favorite teardrops. It pairs a beautifully arched fiberglass body with an exceptionally simple design meant to keep price down well under €10,000. And with a starting weight of under 500 lb, it doesn't require much vehicle to tow it. Some might prefer something with a kitchen and more amenities, or perhaps a more ruggedized off-road-ready 'drop, but as far as simple, affordable camping goes, the Kleox lineup remains one of the most intriguing trailers in the western world. This year, we saw some new colors that make it look even better.

Everything about the forthcoming Tesla Roadster is utterly delusional

When it was first revealed all the way back in 2017, the Tesla Roadster 2.0 prototype seemed completely ridiculous. A four-seater convertible that could go from 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) in 1.9 seconds with a 200-kWh battery in tow? The Tesla team must have chanced upon a particularly potent strain to smoke.
