F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E, and the Skunkworks platform — Dearborn’s electric bet, tracked.
Two months after demanding Brussels weaken the 2035 combustion engine ban, Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s government is now pledging billions in taxpayer money to boost EV sales. The contradiction reveals Germany’s auto industry isn’t facing a policy problem. It’s facing a competitiveness crisis that no subsidy can fix. The Fact: Germany will offer families with small…
Cox Automotive’s Q4 2025 Kelley Blue Book EV Sales Report landed this morning, and while the headline numbers look familiar, the underlying story is anything but. Tesla’s Model Y and Model 3 still dominate the top two positions, but the real drama unfolds when you compare the first nine months of 2025 to Q4. The…
I’ve been documenting the collapse of Western automakers’ China EV strategies for over a year, but the 2025 final numbers are worse than even I expected. Chinese brands now control nearly two-thirds of the world’s largest car market, and the foreign automakers who once dominated are either fleeing or writing off billions in failed EV…

Deloitte’s 2026 Global Automotive Consumer Study, released today, surveyed more than 28,500 consumers across 27 countries between…
I’ve been tracking Ford’s EV pivot for over a year now, and today’s CES announcement is either the most ambitious course correction in automotive history or another promise the company can’t keep.

I’ve spent the last year documenting the collapse, the layoffs, and the cancellations. But here’s the number everyone missed: 94% of current EV owners say they’ll buy another EV. After everything that happened this year, that’s the story that actually matters. NPR’s year-end EV retrospective published today runs through the familiar litany of 2025 disasters:…
I’ve been tracking the pattern of private money reshaping police technology for over a year now. When Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill announced back in February that “anonymous donors” had gifted his department a fleet of Tesla Cybertrucks, I had a pretty good idea who was behind it. Now, thanks to public records obtained by…
I watched Volkswagen announce the ID Buzz as America’s nostalgic EV savior. Now, after one model year and fewer than 5,000 sales, dealers are telling customers it’s over while VW insists it might come back someday. Here’s what you need to know: VW confirmed to Carscoops they won’t produce 2026 ID Buzz models for the…
