Duffys' Road Trip Crashes as Critics Call It Corporate Promo

The Daily Beast reports that Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s reality series The Great American Road Trip is a flop, drawing brutal early reviews from critics like The New Yorker and The New York Times who say the show blurs travel with promotion and leans into heavy product placement, funded by corporate sponsors (Toyota, Boeing, United Airlines, etc.), raising questions about who it’s for and whether it’s more PR than entertainment.

Polestar 5 Redefines Electric Grand Touring With Space-Age Flair

Polestar’s Polestar 5 is pitched as a high-end electric grand tourer built on a bespoke Polestar Performance Architecture, delivering up to 884 hp (3.1s 0–60) in the Performance trim or 748 hp (3.8s) in the Dual Motor, with a 50:50 weight balance and a calm, refined ride. It offers up to 421 miles WLTP (Dual) or 346 miles (Performance) and 350 kW charging, plus a camera-based rear-view mirror, panoramic glass roof, and a minimalist, recycled-material interior. A Europe-first, multi-country road trip showcased its long-distance capability and space for rear-seat passengers; US deliveries are planned for late 2026 but tariffs complicate timing, while European pricing sits around €100k–€140k depending on trim.

Mo'orea by the Ring Road: A Weekend Drive Through Polynesian Paradise

Starlink Mini Turns a 246-Mile Road Trip Into a Mobile Office

A PCMag tester takes Starlink Mini on a 246-mile Idaho–Yellowstone drive, mounting the portable dish on the car roof with two mounts, powering it from 12V or a DeWalt battery kit to stay online even in dead zones; it delivers solid in-motion performance (up to 308 Mbps down, 28 Mbps up near Old Faithful), keeps kids entertained, and proves the system can work off-grid with practical tips on mounts, power, and security for road warriors and digital nomads.

Sounders extend road shutout streak with 0-0 draw at Minnesota

Seattle played its sixth straight road match and earned a 0-0 draw at Minnesota United, extending their road shutout streak while dominating possession but failing to convert. Andrew Thomas made key saves as Minnesota pressed at times; Kelvin Yeboah tested the keeper early, and Tino Lopez made a pivotal clearance. Alex Roldan left with a hip injury, while Jordan Morris returned to play about 25 minutes. Seattle moves to 3-1-1 on the season, with seven road points and three straight league shutouts, and heads into a road-heavy stretch before a home game at Lumen Field.
