China’s January-February sales window is always distorted by Lunar New Year. Factories go quiet, showrooms empty, and delivery figures swing 30 to 50 percent on calendar timing alone.

The cancellation notices have been arriving faster than the vehicles they were meant to replace. Automotive News published a tracker this week cataloging the EVs canceled or delayed in 2026 as legacy automakers continue pulling back from all-electric commitments made during the subsidy era. It’s a long list. None of it is surprising if you’ve…
Two years ago, Rivian secured 68,000 reservations in 24 hours on the strength of one number: $45,000. Today at South by Southwest in Austin, the company officially launched the R2 — at $57,990.

For a group that promised an 8–10% margin corridor, landing at 5.3% is…

One day before its investor day in New York City, Lucid Motors announced a software update rolling out to North American Lucid Gravity owners that enables Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Owners in Europe and the Middle East follow in late March, according to Lucid’s March 11 investor relations announcement. The…

The license covers England, Scotland, and Wales, giving Tesla the legal standing to sell…
The numbers landing on Michael Leiters’ desk for his first annual results press conference as Porsche CEO are brutal by any measure. Full-year 2025 operating profit fell 98% from €5.3 billion to just €90 million after €4.7 billion in writedowns tied to the company’s abandoned EV roadmap. Global deliveries dropped 10%. The Taycan sold 16,339…
