    Read excerpt

    A software update makes frequently used functions in the Lucid Air available with a simple swipe or tap, but owners of older Air models will have to shell out $950 to get it.

    The gas-powered 2027 BMW 3-series was revealed yesterday with styling that mirrors the all-electric i3 and a more powerful M350 model.
