Slate Truck’s Real Price Is $27,500 — No Paint, No Radio, and the Tax Credit Already Gone

Slate Auto, a Michigan-based startup backed by investors reportedly including Jeff Bezos, has officially unveiled the Slate Truck — a two-seat electric pickup with a base MSRP of $27,500. The $7,500 federal EV tax credit that would have pushed that number below $20,000 no longer exists: Congress eliminated it via the Big Beautiful Bill, effective…

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.

Volkswagen’s Cupra Tavascan Dodges EU Tariffs, and Now Chinese Automakers Want the Same Deal

The first crack in Europe’s tariff wall against China-made EVs didn’t come from BYDor SAIC. It came from Volkswagen, Europe’s biggest automaker, which just secured an exemption from the 20.7% additional duty on its China-built Cupra Tavascan SUV. The European Commission published the decision Tuesday in the Official Journal of the EU, and Chinese automakers are already lining up to negotiate their

Tesla Locked Out of India-US Trade Deal That Hands Harley-Davidson Zero Tariffs

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. Electric vehicles got nothing. For Tesla, which has spent nearly three years failing to gain traction in India’s market, the omission is a direct policy rebuff,…

Tesla India Inventory Piles Up as Buyers Cancel, Forcing $2,200 Discounts

Four months after Tesla’s celebrated India debut, nearly one-third of its imported Model Y inventory sits unsold in warehouse limbo. Bloomberg reports that roughly 100 of 300 imported vehicles remain without buyers, forcing the American automaker into the same discount playbook that’s become painfully familiar across Europe and China. The India setback adds another chapter…

China’s EV Exports Surge 87% Globally, But the Real Story Is the 2,367% Explosion to Mexico

I’ve been tracking the “Chinese EV Invasion” narrative for years now, and this new data from China Customs finally reveals exactly how it’s playing out: not through US ports, but through America’s southern border. While mainstream coverage focuses on the headline 87% year-over-year surge to 199,836 EVs exported globally in November, the number that matters…

Tesla Sells Just 100 Cars In India, Tells Buyers They’ll Save Money In Five Years

Tesla’s India launch is off to a dismal start. The company has sold just over 100 Model Y units since deliveries began in September, and its new pitch to Indian buyers is that they can recover one-third of the $67,000 price tag through fuel and maintenance savings over four to five years, Reuters reports. The…
