*Th**e Evening Rush is your daily roundup of auto, gear, and lifestyle news, all in one place. Less time searching, more time driving. Motor on.*

**Automotive**

We already knew the ludicrous mode on the Tesla Model S shoot the electric vehicle to 60mph in ridiculous times but according to reports, the [2016 Tesla Model S](<https://www.autoblog.com/2016/08/19/ludicrously-quick-tesla-model-s-quicker-apparently/>) may have gotten even quicker. The chaps over at Drag Times clocked the new Model S in at 2.65 seconds to 60mph.

Good news for [Ford GT](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/4919/ford-gt-production-extended-by-two-years>) lovers, the highly desired supercar is having production extended another two years. Yes, that means people who got rejected the first go-around will get a second chance at owning the nearly half-a-million dollar monster. When all is said and done, another 500 GTs will be made.

Reports indicate that Uber has purchased autonomous truck manufacturer [Otto](<https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1105657_uber-buys-autonomous-truck-startup-otto>). Otto has a well-staffed team of 90 individuals and their operations will now be overseen by Uber CEO Travis Kalanick.

**Gear**

What do you get when you combine an automatic drill and a revolver? The [Craftsman 4V Slide Screwdriver](<https://www.sears.com/craftsman-4v-slide-screwdriver/p-00941771000P?sid=IAx20130502xSkimlinks&aff=Y&PID=7186376&AID=11092214>). Using a six chamber cartridge, the 4V Slide Screwdriver gives you the option of six different bits at your fingertips. Top rummaging.
