Elon Musk Is Lying About Tesla's Self-Driving And I Have The DMs To Prove It
17 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Electrek's Fred Lambert reveals DMs showing Elon Musk once admitted radar could enhance Tesla’s vision-based self-driving - contradicting his current claims that radar and lidar reduce safety. Despite Musk's push for a camera-only system, rivals like Waymo use sensor fusion and operate rider-only robotaxis. The article argues Tesla's vision-only approach stems from internal limitations, not superior safety.Dacia's Wild-Looking Ultracompact Hipster EV Concept
17 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Dacia's Hipster EV concept is a minimalist, ultra-affordable electric vehicle designed as a modern "people’s car." With a boxy, overhang-free design, strap door handles, and bench seating, it emphasizes simplicity, cost-cutting, and charm. Built to near-production standards, it features clever design touches like integrated rear lights and openwork headrests. If produced, it could launch under $20,000, targeting urban drivers seeking practicality and personality.SAIC's MG4 Leads World in Deployment of Semi-Solid-State Battery
17 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
China's SAIC MG has launched the MG4, the first mass-produced EV with a semi-solid-state battery using manganese-based lithium-ion chemistry. This breakthrough offers higher energy density, improved safety, and environmental benefits over traditional LFP batteries. Approved for sale in China, the MG4 signals a major leap in EV tech - underscoring China's lead in battery innovation and cost-effective electric mobilityLiquid Air Could Be the Clean Energy Storage Breakthrough the Planet Needs
16 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Liquid air energy storage (LAES) cools and compresses air into a liquid, storing renewable energy for later use. It's scalable, low-impact, and ideal for balancing intermittent sources like wind and solar. When demand rises, the liquid air is warmed, expands, and drives turbines to generate electricity. LAES could be a breakthrough for clean energy storage with 50-70% efficiency, offering long-duration capacity without geographic limits or toxic materials.Toyota's Chairman Said That EVs Pollute More Than Hybrids Do, So Here's What Research Says
16 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda claims EVs pollute more than hybrids due to battery production and Japan's fossil-fuel-heavy grid. Researchers counter that EVs offset their higher initial emissions after 20,000-28,000 miles and outperform hybrids long-term - even on coal-heavy grids. Studies show EVs emit less CO2 per mile and will improve further with battery recycling.

Automakers Take Flight: eVTOL Partnerships and Launch Plans
22 Oct 2025 | 
Automakers are accelerating eVTOL development through strategic partnerships. Archer and Stellantis lead with FAA certification targeted for 2025. Joby and Toyota follow closely, planning launches in the U.S. and Dubai by 2026. Eve, backed by Embraer and Porsche, aims for dual certification in Brazil and the U.S. XPeng and Geely expand in China and the Middle East. Hyundai’s Supernal is paused, and BYD remains in stealth. These ventures blend aerospace innovation with automotive scale.
BYD's CTB Tech Turns the Battery Into the Backbone
22 Oct 2025 | 
BYD's Cell-to-Body (CTB) technology integrates the battery into the vehicle's structure, boosting stiffness, safety, and packaging efficiency. Unlike traditional EVs, the Blade Battery becomes part of the car's floor, enabling sleeker design and fewer components. Though serviceability and recycling pose challenges, CTB marks a bold shift in EV architecture - one that rivals are watching closely.
My EV Is a Brick: When Software Locks Out the Driver
22 Oct 2025 | 
A Tesla owner's bricked EV after a software rollback highlights growing concerns over digital ownership. Critics warn that EVs are becoming "subscription machines," where features can vanish remotely. Proposed reforms include right to repair, feature permanence contracts, and regulatory oversight. As automakers like GM and Rivian expand EV offerings, the industry must decide: are EVs durable goods - or smartphones on wheels?
BrightDrop Fades Out: What's Next for Retail EV Fleets?
21 Oct 2025 | 
GM has ended production of its BrightDrop electric vans, leaving retailers like Target and Walmart seeking alternatives. Fewer than 2,000 vans are in service, far below expectations. Ford's E-Transit, Rivian's RCV, and Mercedes' U.S.-built eSprinter are the most viable replacements. BrightDrop's failure highlights the challenges of scaling commercial EVs amid shifting incentives and slow fleet adoption.
