Land Rover Black Design PackJust when you thought the blacked-out look on a vehicle might have run its course, Land Rover sets out to convince us otherwise with this latest edition to the Black Design Pack.

The new Fuji White Range Rover Evoque, showcased at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, completely flips the script on the concept of customization with a look that’ll rival a lot of  the Evoques that have rolled out of tuner shops.  And there have been some hot ones.

After all, the toughest part of pulling off a good custom piece is starting with a nice design so it’s hard to go wrong with the award-winning Evoque. Well, as long as the new styling elements adhere to the true essence of the SUV.

Land Rover’s most recent take on the SUV also features darkened front headlights and fog lamps and Santorini Black painted ‘Range Rover’ lettering across the both the bonnet and tailgate and a black rear spoiler

The Black Design Pack also includes special 20-inch wheels offered in a nine spoke design and painted in gloss black.

Available as either a coupe or 5-door, the special trim edition made its debut earlier this year on the Sicilian Yellow Special Edition Evoque.  The Sicilian Yellow edition comes in either a Sicilian Yellow exterior with a contrasting Santorini Black roof, or Santorini Black exterior with a contrasting Sicilian Yellow roof and door mirrors.  But the Fuji White edition has more classic appeal. 

The Black Design Pack trim will be available in April. No official word yet on pricing.

The world’s biggest battery maker just pumped the brakes on solid-state EV hype
CATL chairman Robin Zeng says the technology is still in lab-phase development, with mass-market deployment unlikely before 2030.

Solid-state batteries have been hyped as the technology that will transform electric vehicles, promising higher energy density, faster charging, and improved safety over the lithium-ion cells powering most cars today. But the head of the world's largest battery maker says buyers should not hold their breath.

CATL chairman Dr. Robin Zeng told Caijing Magazine (via CarNewsChina) that large-scale commercialization of solid-state batteries will not be achievable before 2030. The company has set a threshold of 1 million vehicles as the production volume required to justify mass deployment, a figure that remains out of reach for the foreseeable future. When solid-state cells do reach the market, Zeng said initial integration will be limited to premium vehicles priced above 250,000 yuan (roughly $37,000).

Everything new coming to CarPlay in iOS 27
CarPlay's most meaningful update in years is hiding behind the Siri AI headlines.
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

Apple barely talked about CarPlay at its WWDC 2026 keynote, giving most of the spotlight to Siri AI and the broader Apple Intelligence additions in iOS 27. But that doesn't mean CarPlay is a no-show this year.

The Cupertino giant buried most of the CarPlay updates in a developer-only video, and, as it turns out, there's genuinely more here than you would have expected. As a CarPlay user myself, I'd say some of these features are long overdue, while others tag along with the broader iOS 27 redesign.

We just got a hot signal that a Tesla and SpaceX merger could happen, after all
Tesla

For years, the idea of Tesla and SpaceX becoming a single company has lived somewhere between ambitious business theory and Elon Musk fan fiction. The two companies already share DNA, leadership influence, engineering talent, and long-term goals. But every time the topic surfaced, it felt more like an interesting thought experiment than a realistic possibility. Now, one of the most important people at SpaceX has added fresh fuel to the conversation.

Speaking in a recent CNBC interview, SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell was asked about the possibility of closer ties between Tesla and SpaceX. Her response wasn’t a flat-out denial. In fact, she suggested that bringing the two companies together could make life a little easier for Musk. That may sound like an offhand comment, but coming from Shotwell, it’s noteworthy. She’s been at SpaceX since its earliest days and remains one of the company's most influential executives.
