Caterham Project V Rejects Everything Modern EVs Stand For – And That’s the Point

I’ve been covering electric sports car announcements for years, and they all sound the same: massive battery, blistering charging speed, tablet-sized touchscreen, skateboard platform.

I’ve been tracking this collision for months, and now it’s official: the company that defined the EV revolution just lost its crown while Wall Street threw a party. Tesla’s 2025 deliveries dropped 8.6% to 1.64 million vehicles, handing BYD the title of world’s largest electric vehicle maker by a margin of more than 620,000 units.…

DJI Spinoff ZYT Takes on Autonomous Trucking with Drone-Derived Tech

ZYT is betting that the same computer vision approach that made DJI drones dominant can now disrupt the autonomous trucking race – and they’re targeting the same H1 2026 mass production timeline as Pony.ai, but with a fraction of the computing power.

Tesla Diner Hits 80,000 Burgers, Proving Supercharger-As-Destination Actually Works

Tesla just validated its most unusual bet: turning Supercharger stops into lifestyle destinations. The company’s Hollywood Diner has now sold over 80,000 burgers since opening in July 2025, generating $1.08 million in revenue according to Tesla’s 2025 year-end recap shared by Sawyer Merritt.
