The World’s Best-Selling EV Just Got More Affordable

Tesla has expanded its Model Y (and Model 3) lineup to include a new entry-level ‘Standard’ variation. As a more affordable alternative to the current Premium and Performance trims, it features a simplified interior, a few stylistic tweaks and some minor performance concessions (output is down to 300 horsepower, 0-60 times are a touch slower and range comes in about 10 percent less). However, in doing so, the EV manages to shave $5,000 off the price of its ‘Premium’ level stablemate.

Arc’teryx’s warmest glove received some key updates for 2025, including increased dexterity and added coverage. The Fission SV is crafted to provide maximum articulation and elevated dexterity, so you can keep your gloves on and still accomplish your winter tasks. The softshell exterior features a double weave for better wind protection, water repellence and abrasion resistance, and super-warm recycled Coreloft insulation keeps Arc’teryx’s warmest technical glove toasty. New colorways round out the updates.

First released as part of a successful Kickstarter campaign, the newly released Roller Pro Carry-On from cult camera and EDC brand Peak Design is a total rethink of the carry-on category. For example, it features a hybrid shell design, drawbridge-style access to minimize its footprint when open and actually useful pockets for essentials and laptops.

It’s not easy to make a knife this, well, red. But through trial and error, WESN hit upon a careful process of painting and heat treating, layer by layer, resulting in one bold, bright knife for life. Otherwise it is the same great 1-ounce Microblade: 1.5 inches of D2 steel deployed from the Grade 5 titanium handle via the rear flipper or thumb stud and held in place with a sturdy liner lock. Note: As part of the collaboration with EDC brand Ekster, this limited-edition release has a second separate $120 element: a lightweight aluminum wallet, the Card Holder Pro, that fits up to 12 cards. Oh and act fast, if past history is any indication, this stuff won’t stick around long.

Kollokium, the “project-based platform” (don’t call it a brand!) that burst onto the watch scene in 2023 with its radical pin-dialed Projekt 1, is back with its second model, predictably named Projekt 2. The new watch follows in the footsteps of its predecessor with a massive, fully exposed box sapphire crystal and die-cast steel case surrounding a unique three-dimensional dial absolutely plastered with lume. But this time, instead of the dial being composed of pins of varying heights, it’s a topographical landscape made up of 67 hand-painted and stacked dial plates. Naturally, each plate is lumed. The first round of the watch is limited to 199 pieces, priced at CHF 3,333.33 (~$4,163) and is reserved for existing Kollokium owners. A wider release will then take place in Q1 of next year and will be priced at CHF 3,666.66.

With their medium height, high-abrasion lugged outsole, 200g thermal insulation and EVA foam insole, these puffer boots are the perfect option for cold-weather clomping. But they have a secret weapon: they’re hands-free slip-ons. That means they have no laces, and you can put them on without needing to bend down. But they’re not loose, either. The step in heel operates on the same principle as Nike’s Metcon workout shoes, meaning once you slip in, they secure around your heel for a snug fit. That makes them even more convenient and formidable.
