Tesla Cybertruck revolutionized the automotive industry with a groundbreaking 48-volt electrical system and a steer-by-wire system. These advances would not have been possible without a new approach to vehicular wiring and communications, which the EV maker recently filed to patent. Although the Cybertruck's specifications might seem underwhelming, this only appears so because Elon Musk exaggerated its qualities over the years.

Spanning seven non-consecutive generations from 1949 to 1976, the Coronet was one of Dodge’s most successful nameplates. As the first post-war model, its full-size status carried the dignified rank of the division’s highest trim line. All that changed in 1955, when it got demoted to the bottom of the Dodge food chain as a low-level car. The name was dropped in 1960 and returned five years later when it entered the muscle car war.
