Tariffs, tax credits, mandates and regulators — the rules that shape the EV market.
Tesla’s Grünheide factory manager just escalated the company’s war with Germany’s most powerful industrial union to a new level. André Thierig, the plant director at Giga Berlin, says an external IG Metall representative was caught secretly recording an internal works council meeting today, and Tesla called the police.

California’s clean-truck voucher program just handed Tesla roughly $165 million in reserved funding for a truck that has delivered exactly five units to paying customers. A Los Angeles Times investigation published today exposes how the state’s Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) allocated nearly 1,000 vouchers to subsidize the Tesla Semi…
