Tesla unveiled its much-hyped Model 3 car late on Thursday and it’s already generated an impressive 130,000 reservations in just one day. Several attendees at yesterday’s big launch got to take rides in the new cars and they showed how the Model 3 will offer a really different driving experience compared to other cars on the market right now. Let’s check out some of the best videos below.

This is the indestructible Lightning cable your iPhone deserves

%name This is the indestructible Lightning cable your iPhone deserves by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

If you want a Lightning cable for your iPhone or iPad, you can get them for practically nothing on Amazon. For example, here’s a 10-foot Lightning cable for $11.49, and here’s a pair of 3-foot cables for $13. Both of those options will charge your phone or tablet, and they’re both about the same quality as Apple’s Lightning cables for a fraction of the price. But do Apple’s cables really feature quality that’s all that great? I don’t know about you, but I’ve accidentally torn through several of them over the past few years.

Sometimes you get what you pay for though, and that’s exactly the case with the 3-Foot Fuse Chicken Titan Lightning Cable. It’s the toughest Lightning cable you’ll ever come across and it’s backed by a lifetime guarantee. If this cable ever breaks due to normal wear and tear, the company will send you a new one.

It’s April 1st, which means that you should distrust almost anything you see on the web today. Tech companies in particular love to prank their fans by unveiling ridiculous fake products on April Fools’ Day and we’ve rounded up some of their best efforts this year. In fact, you may have already heard about one of them: Google’s Gmail Mic Drop feature, which the company quickly pulled after it reportedly cost some people their jobs. Oops!

Here are some other ones you may have missed.

Ben Affleck has written a script for a standalone ‘Batman’ movie

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been getting raked over the coals by critics ever since it hit theaters. Reviewers say the plot doesn’t make sense, the characters have no motivation and the tone is so dark that kids can’t even see it.

If there’s anything that has received consistent praise from fans and critics alike, it’s Ben Affleck’s performance as Batman. If you liked what you saw out of Affleck, you’re in luck — he’s written his own Batman movie.

Google’s hilarious April Fools joke backfires spectacularly

%name Google’s hilarious April Fools joke backfires spectacularly by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Every year on April 1st, Google unveils several completely fake tech products to make us laugh on April Fools Day. This year, it introduced a hilarious “Mic Drop” feature in Gmail. Unfortunately, because the feature is built into Gmail and not all people pay attention to tiny user interface changes, this email addition actually cost some people their jobs. Consequently, Google pulled the prank to make sure other don’t suffer the same consequences.

During Elon Musk’s Model 3 introduction on Thursday night, the Tesla CEO boasted that the company had already secured more than 115,000 reservations for the Model 3. All the more impressive is that each and every one of those reservations were made before anyone even knew what the car would look like.

Not surprisingly, the number of Model 3 reservations only continued to climb once Musk finally unveiled the company’s highly-anticipated mass market EV for the first time.

Years in the making, Elon Musk just a short while ago finally introduced the world to the Model 3. About 20% smaller than the Model S, the Model 3, as initially rumored, will start at $35,000 flat and will feature a minimum range of 215 miles.

Undoubtedly, first-hand impressions from folks lucky enough to test drive the vehicle will be coming in soon enough. But in the mean time, there’s still a lot to dissect. Of particular interest is whether or not prospective Tesla buyers are into the overall design of the Model 3.

Drunk Uber passenger falls asleep, driver takes him on a 20-mile detour

%name Drunk Uber passenger falls asleep, driver takes him on a 20 mile detour by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Ordering an Uber is a great way to get back home safely when you’ve had a little bit too much to drink. Unfortunately, if you get too drunk and just so happen to pass out in the backseat of your Uber, you’re effectively at the mercy of your driver. While we’d like to assume that most Uber drivers in such situations would take drunken passengers straight home, one Uber passenger in the U.K. had the exact opposite experience.

In a quirky story that has made headlines across the globe (via CNN), an Uber rider in London passed out in the backseat whereupon the driver decided to test his luck and take advantage of the situation. So instead of taking the inebriated passenger straight home in what would have been a quick and painless 4-mile journey, our enterprising hero of a driver instead opted to go on a 20-mile detour before ultimately reaching the intended destination, all in an effort to rack up a more expensive trip.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to change the world… again… maybe. Tesla is less than an hour away from unveiling its hotly anticipated Model 3, a car that’s destined to flood the roads once it finally launches. Tesla’s new Model 3 will feature a base price of just $35,000, making it the company’s most affordable car by a wide margin. Also of note, that already low price will drop to as little as $25,000 after tax incentives.

The Model 3 is a huge deal, potentially putting all-electric cars within reach of a massive new market segment — and it all starts tonight with the new car’s official unveiling.
