The Most Efficient Tesla Costs Under $37,000 Right Now

Gerhard started his career in automotive journalism in 2010, after finishing degrees in Communication, English, and Politics, and diplomas in Film and Art Appreciation and Graphic Design. He's currently a senior editor with experience in local and global coverage, and more than 1,000 test cars driven. He started his career at CarBuzz in January 2021. Most cars bleed value the moment they leave the dealership lot — but the last-generation Subaru WRX STI has been quietly rewriting that rule. While the broader used-car market has normalized after years of pandemic-era volatility, this discontinued performance sedan continues to hold — and in some cases grow — its value in ways that would embarrass far more exotic machinery. High-mileage examples have shed far less of their original MSRP than you'd expect, and the lowest-mileage units are routinely selling for more than their sticker price ever was.

Born in Germany in the late 1870s, the Duesenberg brothers — Frederick (Fred) and August (Augie) – would move to America and make some of the time's most luxurious and innovative cars. One of their earliest ventures included opening a garage in Iowa circa 1903 – which is where they landed after immigrating. During this time, Fred and August were modifying and racing cars. Now, we're skipping a lot of steps here, but after gaining a reputation as brilliant engineers — and developing motors for the military during World War I – the brothers found themselves in New Jersey. The Garden State proved to be fertile soil for the two, as that's where the first Duesenberg straight-8 engine was created.

Volkswagen is offering its Chinese-market Jetta M6 electric sedan with nearly 290 miles of CLTC-rated range for less than $12,000 (USD), and if that’s not what “der people’s wagen” should be all about, I don’t know what is. Launched as a joint venture between FAW and Volkswagen Group, the Jetta brand’s first battery electric car is finally here – and it is a genuinely accessible, capable, and kinda decent-looking family sedan in the same way VW’s original Type I was when it was first developed in the 1940s.

If someone came to you selling a product with an incredible range of uses made from a secret formula first tested on missiles, you might think it's BS. However, this progression represents WD-40's actual origin. WD-40 was created by the Rocket Chemical Company, which was founded in 1953 by Norm Larsen. Three Rocket Chemical staff members achieved the product's formula after 40 trials, which is naturally where the name WD-40 comes from. What goes into the formula is considered a trade secret, like the recipe for Coca-Cola, Kentucky Fried Chicken, or the Tesla FSD data snagged by Dutch regulators. Furthermore, trade secrets don't expire the way patents do. Aerospace contractor Convair initially used WD-40 on its Atlas Missile (America's first successful intercontinental ballistic missile) to protect against rust and corrosion.

Kimi Antonelli will start from pole at the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, the first weekend he can mathematically clinch the championship. Antonelli was sixth-fastest in Q1 and second-fastest in Q2 before securing pole with a 1.34.035 first lap in Q3, 0.179 seconds faster than second place. As Q1 and Q2 progressed, the track got better, forcing the top eight drivers to hold their ground in the pits for final flying laps, but to little effect, as the order remained unchanged from the first Q3 laps. Verstappen, after starting on pole in the last two Grands Prix, stays on the front row, qualifying second and saving a set of tires compared to the other leaders. Verstappen lost control in turn 19 of his second Q2 lap and nearly spun. Antonelli won't have a new set of soft tires for the start tomorrow, putting him at a disadvantage on a track that notoriously doesn't favor the pole sitter on the opening lap. Verstappen’s teammate Isack Hadjar follows in sixth ahead of the Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, who failed to convert their practice speed into qualifying results.

Gilbert Smith is an automotive journalist with over five years of specialized research and writing experience. Before joining CarBuzz in 2024, he produced in-depth buyer’s guides and feature articles for Vehicle History, focusing on practical insights and detailed automotive analysis. The new Audi Q7 is on the way for the 2027 model year, and if Audi wants to make room for it on dealer lots, it has to move the 2026 models out quickly. To that end, there are some very attractive lease deals up for grabs. Here's what to know.
