The channel compared it to the Tesla Model 3 Long Range by taking a road trip from Edinburgh to London, plus more. Their total trip was nearly 500 miles one way. The goal of the video is to compare the ID.4's efficiency , real-world range , and charging speed with the Model 3. For a little dose of extra fun, the publication races the cars back home. We've learned over the years that what's on paper doesn't usually tell the whole story when it comes to real-world EV ownership.

Overloaded Ford Truck Shows Real Men Do It In One Trip
Warning: this is extremely unsafe. Pickup trucks – America loves them and it has been a popular automobile body type since the beginning.

These days, you'll rarely see a truck carrying a massive load and if you do, you'll probably see dirt bikes and other outdoor activity items on the bed, which is fine.

The video above was posted by Maara Padilla (@lapipadelapaz) on Tiktok and has gained around 12,000 reactions and nearly 3,000 shares as of this writing. Not a surprise, really – the single-cab truck in the video is seen carrying items piled up on its bed, mostly wooden items, nearly twice the height and length of the vehicle itself.

Honda Creates Adorable Odyssey ‘Minnie’ Van For Disney’s D23
It was all inspired by the magic of Disney. At this year’s Disney D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, Honda unveiled a custom Odyssey that would look well at home in any Disney park (or any Disney fanatic's driveway). They call it the "Minnie" Van, and it's a clever play on words to honor one of Walt’s most popular characters, Minnie Mouse, inspired by the magic of Disney. The exterior is finished in hot pink with white polka dots to match Minnie's signature style. On the roof, a massive set of Minnie ears and a matching bowtie complete the package. It’s all part of Honda’s partnership with Disney-ABC and the "Disney Unlock the Magic Sweepstakes," which will see the Honda Odyssey make a special appearance on an upcoming Disney’s Mickey and the Roadster Racers special.
