News, deep dives, and analysis — every China story, newest first.
The Guardian’s Saturday analysis frames what’s happening in Western auto boardrooms with unusual bluntness: pulling back from electric vehicles while oil prices spike over the Iran war is, as one former industry chief puts it, a “profound strategic mistake.” The historical parallel is Detroit in the 1980s, when Japanese competitors ate the American industry’s lunch…
China’s January-February sales window is always distorted by Lunar New Year. Factories go quiet, showrooms empty, and delivery figures swing 30 to 50 percent on calendar timing alone. Strip out the noise and the picture for Tesla is actually decent: 127,728 China-made EVs sold in the first two months of 2026, up more than 35%…
tay updated on the wave of 2026 EV cancellations and delays. From Ford's F-150 Lightning exit to GM's Ultium collapse, we track the $53B retreat from all-electric commitments.

Those are the numbers sitting on incoming CEO Michael Leiters’ desk as he reportedly weighs whether to fold the Taycan and Panamera into a single unified model line. Leiters Arrives…
Tesla’s Canadian Model 3 inventory has gone to zero. A check of Tesla’s Canadian storefront shows no Model 3 units available for order, and the timing lines up directly with Canada’s new 6.1% tariff on Chinese-built EVs, which replaced the previous 100% surtax under Prime Minister Mark Carney’s January 2026 trade agreement with Beijing. The…
February registration numbers from across Europe show Tesla posting some of its best year-on-year gains in months. Norway was up 75.6%, France up 55%, Spain up 74%, according to registration data published by Automotive World. On paper, that reads like a genuine recovery. The problem is the floor those numbers are measured against: January 2026…
