Article improvement
I feel, one of the key article of this wikiproject, Automotive engineering needs a good revision and copy edit. I would love to help in the process as much as viable. Being a civil engineering student I am unknown of some key terms. In addition, i see the need of forming a new article Automobile engineering much famous in South asian countries including Nepal and India to flourish the information regarding the subject and make the area of study open to fellow readers.Franked2004 (talk)
Aston Martin Rapide at FAC
Hi Wikiproject Automobiles contributors, a note that the Aston Martin Rapide article is currently at the featured article candidates 
process if you'd like to add some comments. The Aston Martin DB9 article is close to its promotion, so if you'd like to leave your comments go ahead :). 750h+ 11:47, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
Great news
Great news WP Automobiles contributors, the Aston Martin DB9 article is officially a featured article, recognising it as one of the best articles produced by Misplaced Pages :). If you'd like to leave your comments go ahead. 750h+ 13:14, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Congrats! That's a lot of work being recognized. Mr.choppers | ✎ 18:00, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Mr.choppers! Also expect one of your pictures to appear on the Main Page on 27 July! 750h+ 09:18, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Automotive industry in China
Been doing work to clean up and properly source Automotive industry in China, but would very much appreciate other sets of eyes on it as some of the stats/figures might be fabricated as they either lack WP:RSes or even sources altogether. - Amigao (talk) 05:01, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Ferrari Monza SP
Checking the sources, it appears that the article is made of sources put together from three different press releases, besides one about a concierge service - one about its introduction, winning a design award (one is WP:PRIMARY) and one about the last model built.
Like articles about their one-offs, I cannot see there is anying to justify a standalone article, thus I recommend a merger to Ferrari 812 Superfast. SpacedFarmer (talk) 19:09, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- week oppose they are too distinct to not have standalone article. SP3 has it also. YBSOne (talk) 22:01, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- The same could be said for Ferrari's Special Project cars such as the SP3JC, which has so much in common with the Monza SP. An argument against it will be; the only thing separating it will be the body. As mentioned in my now archived argument against the McLaren F1 LM, does that and the Monza SP have the significantly high press coverages that the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 has? I would've been supportive of a separate article about the Monza SP if it has the coverages it has with their mainstream models. SpacedFarmer (talk) 09:13, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- I don't have the strongest opinions on article mergers/separations for related vehicles, but it is worth noting that the SP1, SP2 and SP3 are part of Ferrari's Icona series and are series produced models, not one or two offs like the rest of Ferrari's Special Project cars. Also, keep in mind that since I wrote most of that article when the car had just came out, there are more sources that have came out since then that I haven't gotten around to putting in the article. For instance, there's now a full Top Gear review, a review in EVO, and a Car Magazine ride along at Goodwood. TKOIII (talk) 18:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

More great news
Hello contributor to the WP Automobiles project, great news! As we know, the Aston Martin DB9 article has been promoted to featured article status, identifying it as one of the best articles produced by the WP community (only 0.09% of WP articles are featured articles). Even better news has been put upon us, as now the article will appear on the Main Page as today's featured article on 27 July 2024! Pinging @Mr.choppers: as it will be his high-quality image that we will be using. 750h+ 04:50, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- I am blushing. Congratulations and thank you. Mr.choppers | ✎ 13:28, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
Draft:Telo Trucks
I just created a draft for electric vehicle startup Telo Trucks. Any help would be appreciated. Thriley (talk) 03:52, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- I don't particular feel like creating the content but if you create the content then I will tidy-up the formatting, etc. I've already tidied-up what little is there. Remember that you are writing for an international audience and that not all readers will know US customs and that what is true in the US is not necessarily true outside the US.

TDI (engine)
Hello. There's some kind of unusual activity on TDI (engine). I'm not sure if the edits are constructive or not. Could someone take a look? Ae245 (talk) 11:02, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reverted all; all of the edits were suspicious and unsourced. 750h+ 11:43, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Ford Evos (concept car)#Requested move 17 June 2024 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Safari Scribe 10:11, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Trailer light converter
The article Trailer light converter has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This page is linked by one article, trailer (vehicle)#Electrical components, it summarizes this article well. sometimes you need another device to connect the lights on the trailer to a car. I am not sure that there is much more that is encyclopedic to say about it
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Gnisacc (talk) 18:18, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- That article says nothing of substance and has no references. Change it to be a redirect to trailer (vehicle)#Electrical components. Stepho talk 00:37, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
