Very orange, and very angry. That’s the unavoidable first impression when faced with the 2019 Corvette ZR1 Convertible, Chevrolet’s 755 horsepower route to getting lots, and lots, and lots of wind in your hair. Open-top sibling to the Corvette ZR1 coupe, the drop-top refuses to succumb to the old adage that cutting the roof off also means compromising on performance. … Continue reading

Tesla said earlier this year that the Model 3 will give its owners 310 miles of range on a single charge. The figure has now been backed up by the Environmental Protection Agency. It has confirmed that the Tesla Model 3 does indeed have a range of 310 miles. The official stamp of approval cements the Model 3’s position as one of the most efficient affordable electric cars available today.
Car manufacturers use EPA’s estimates as advertised efficiency figures in the United States. The fuel consumption figures don’t apply to the Tesla Model 3 because it’s an all-electric car that doesn’t need conventional fuels.
The EPA has now confirmed that Tesla Model 3 owners should be able to get a range of 310 miles in combined city and highway driving on a single charge. That’s the equivalent of 131 mile per gallon for city driving.
The extended range model does cost a bit more, though. Tesla sells the 220 mile range Model 3 for $35,000. Customers who want the 310 mile range will have to fork out an additional $9,000 as prices for that model start at $44,000.
Even if you decide to purchase the Model 3 today, it’s unlikely that you’ll get it before a year at the very least. Production has been slow and while Tesla has been working hard to take care of the bottlenecks, it’s going to be a while before it’s able to fill the outstanding orders.

A critical security bug in macOS High Sierra was publicly disclosed yesterday. It enables anyone to gain full admin access to a Mac running High Sierra without requiring the password. Once they’re in the admin controls section, they can make changes like installing and deleting apps which otherwise require the device’s admin password. Apple has now released a fix for this bug and it’s advising users to install it as soon as possible.
The bug doesn’t even require any sophisticated code to exploit. When prompted to enter the admin password, one just needs to type “root” in the user name and leave the password field blank. That’s all. It then provides full admin access even if the device’s owner has a password in place.
Apple has rolled out the fix for this bug today and it’s calling on all its customers to “install this update as soon as possible.” This is mentioned right in the update’s description to highlight the gravity of this issue. The company is rolling out this update and it will be installed automatically on all devices running macOS High Sierra.
The company has also issued an unusually forward statement to highlight this embarrassing misstep. “Security is a top priority for every Apple product, and regrettably we stumbled with this release of macOS,” it said, adding that “We greatly regret this error and we apologize to all Mac users, both for releasing with this vulnerability and for the concern it has caused.”
Apple says that it’s auditing its development process to ensure something like this doesn’t happen again.
