Why the Cybertruck Became a $10B Failure?
22 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Wolff Responds video analyzes why Tesla's Cybertruck became a $10 billion failure. Once hyped as a revolutionary EV, the Cybertruck faced stainless steel manufacturing issues, missed deadlines, broken promises, and rising costs. Wolff critiques Tesla's strategy, investor panic, and quality concerns, arguing the collapse signals deeper risks for the EV industry. It's not just a product flop - it's a warning for the electric future.The Lab Where GM Is Cooking Up New EV Batteries To Beat China
21 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
GM is developing lithium metal batteries (LMR) at its new EV battery lab to boost range and cut costs. The goal is to surpass current lithium-ion tech by using solid-state designs that offer higher energy density and faster charging. GM aims to integrate LMR into future Ultium-based vehicles, including affordable EVs like the next-gen Bolt. The lab accelerates testing and innovation to meet 2027 production targets.GM CEO: Automaker Planning Entire Affordable EV Range
21 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
GM President Mark Reuss confirmed a new family of affordable Chevrolet EVs launching by 2027, starting with a redesigned Bolt. Built on GM’s Ultium platform, the lineup will offer improved range, lower costs, and broader appeal. Reuss emphasized GM's commitment to mainstream electrification, with multiple models planned to follow the Bolt. The goal: make EVs accessible without sacrificing performance or utility.Norway's Ferry Operator Norled Could Have Saved Money & Staff by Skipping Hydrogen
21 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Norway's ferry operator Norled lost €85M after investing in hydrogen ferries like MF Hydra, which cost more to build and operate than battery-electric or diesel alternatives. Hydrogen fuel is expensive, inefficient, and emits more CO2 than expected - double that of diesel and 40x more than electric. Battery ferries like MF Nesvik prove cheaper, cleaner, and more practical. Critics say Norled's hydrogen gamble cost jobs and failed to deliver strategic value.Archer Beats Out Joby for Lilium eVTOL Patents
20 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
US-based Archer Aviation acquired 300 patents from bankrupt German eVTOL firm Lilium for $21M, beating Joby, its competitor. The deal includes ducted fan tech, aircraft design, and battery systems. Archer plans to expand beyond air taxis into cargo, defense, and sport aviation. Lilium's collapse reflects broader industry consolidation, as well-funded players absorb assets from struggling startups. Lilium spent more than $1.5 billion developing these technologies.

AI's Power Problem: The Hidden Grid Strain Behind the Digital Boom
05 Nov 2025 | 
A New York Times op-ed warns that AI and data centers are driving up electricity demand, straining grids, and raising power bills. Tech firms often obscure their energy use while consumers bear infrastructure costs. The piece calls for mandatory energy disclosures, better regulation, and more efficient AI systems. It challenges the myth of "clean tech" and urges climate policy to address digital infrastructure’s growing carbon footprint.

False Binaries and Fossil Frames: Why the Real Climate Challenge Isn't Just Upstream
04 Nov 2025 | 
The Eurasia Review op-ed argues that decarbonizing fuels and electricity - not regulating consumer products - is the real climate priority. But this framing creates a false binary. Demand-side policies like EV mandates and efficiency standards drive upstream change. Ignoring them weakens climate strategy. Effective solutions require systems thinking, not either-or arguments. Climate action must target both supply and demand to succeed.
Tailpipe Truthers and the Post-EV Gambit: Mazda's Contrarian Climate Play
04 Nov 2025 |
Mazda challenges EV orthodoxy by arguing that tailpipe emissions alone don't tell the full climate story. At the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, it promoted a lifecycle emissions approach, favoring plug-in hybrids, synthetic fuels, and fuel-flexible drivetrains over full electrification. Critics see this as stalling, but Mazda frames it as a long-term bet on energy diversity and grid realism. Whether it’s visionary or outdated depends on how the world decarbonizes.
Trail Theater: Toyota's Scion 01 Concept Reviewed
04 Nov 2025 | 
Toyota's Scion 01 Concept is a hybrid off-road side-by-side with bold styling and a Tacoma-derived powertrain. It features "Silent Mode" for short-range electric-only driving but lacks plug-in capability or new battery tech. Despite its aggressive design and nostalgic branding, it offers no real innovation - just a repackaged hybrid system in a concept shell. It's more marketing theater than a meaningful step forward in electric mobility.
