India has protected its auto market with tariffs ranging from 70% to 110% for decades. Today, New Delhi agreed to slash those barriers for American gas-powered cars and motorcycles.

BYD Outsold Tesla by 620,000 EVs in 2025, and the Gap Is Still Growing

The final 2025 scorecard is brutal for Tesla. BYD sold 2.26 million battery-electric vehicles last year. Tesla delivered 1.64 million. That’s a 620,000-unit gap that grew every quarter, and it happened while BYD was locked out of the world’s second-largest auto market entirely. The damage extends far beyond the headline numbers. In the countries where…

The same week Tesla posted its second consecutive year of declining vehicle deliveries, the company started hiring engineers to build something it has never successfully built at scale: solar cells.

BMW i3 Neue Klasse Rolls Off Munich Assembly Line, But a 45% U.S. EV Sales Collapse Looms Over the Launch

The camouflaged sedan sitting on BMW’s Munich assembly line today looks like any other pre-production test mule. But this particular car carries the weight of BMW’s entire electric future on its shoulders.

Tesla’s Door Trap Death Toll Grows: 20-Year-Old’s 911 Call Exposes a Design Flaw the Company Still Hasn’t Fixed

Every Tesla on the road today has two batteries. The big one moves the car. The small one opens the doors. When that small battery dies in a crash, you’re locked inside. Samuel Tremblett found that out at 1:04 a.m. on October 29, on a dark stretch of Route 138 in Easton, Massachusetts. The 20-year-old’s…
