The $249,000 car wins.

Edmunds conducted one of its U-Drag down-and-back drag races between Lucid’s most expensive car, the 1,234 horsepower Air Sapphire, and a 1,020 horsepower Tesla Model S Plaid ($89,990 today) with the $20k Track Pack upgrade that includes carbon ceramic brakes.

The Lucid won both races. Edmund’s Alistair Weaver concludes that the Lucid feels “faster” and “just feels nicer.”

Evan Vucci, I’m so sorry.

The Associated Press chief photographer took the indelible photo of Donald Trump right after an assassination attempt that’s since been used (without permission) on everything from cheap t-shirts to digital icons.

$100,000 Trump-themed watches is apparently going too far: AP, which owns the rights to the image, told Wired it sent a cease and desist to the company making the unauthorized timepieces.

Toy Story’s Buzz Lightyear is now a $600 robot toy.

Robosen, maker of self-transforming Transformers, has teamed up with Disney to bring its Space Ranger toy to life.

It’s got 23 servo motors, working buttons (save the laser, weirdly!) and even has Buzz’s Spanish mode — plus new “first-of-its-kind micro-servos” to move its eyes and mouth. Mine has a bit of a lazy eye, though! 3.7 pounds, 14.6 inches tall, on sale today.

Hardware leaker kopite7kimi says it will be released officially together with Nvidia’s next-gen GPUs. Nvidia is holding a CES 2025 keynote in January, where we’re expecting to see the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080.
