CC: If you are servicing the brakes or suspension system on a Tesla Model S, you do not need fancy orange gloves or insulated tools. The brake system on the vehicle uses the 12-volt electrical system and not the 400-volt electrical system. Still, it is always a good practice to disconnect the 12-volt power system if you must remove a caliper or replace a brake hose.

Lamborghini has a long and seriously convoluted history of all-terrain vehicles. It all started with the 1977 Cheetah, built on a contract from Mobility Technology International. Turns out MTI blatantly copied the 1970 XR311 from FMC, a military vehicle intended to replace the M151 jeep. Lamborghini revisited the Chettah to create the LM001 of 1981, a rear-engined 4x4 powered by a free-breathing V8 of AMC origin.
