A night under the brilliant, undiluted stars is one of the best ways to escape the stresses of daily life, but to do it right, you’ll need supplies. Firewood, graham crackers, and chocolate are obvious choices, but the right vehicle can be the gooey marshmallow that brings it all together.
A lot goes into choosing the ideal camping car. It has to get you there, for starters, so it must be adventurous and at least somewhat tough. It should also be reliable, with lots of cargo room and seating for all your friends and gear.

Your cheap Chevrolet EV might not be cheap for Long
This shift comes as GM continues reshuffling its manufacturing footprint, with its Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas, set to switch from Bolt EV output to other vehicles, including gas-powered models and a relocated Buick crossover.

Tesla kills Autopilot for good and Musk warns of FSD price hikes

After that date, it is subscriptions all the way down, currently priced at about $99 a month. Musk has already warned that this price will likely climb as the software gets smarter, effectively turning driver assistance into a recurring utility bill rather than a feature you own.
