News, deep dives, and analysis — every Europe story, newest first.
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…
The timing tells you everything about Rivian’s strategy. While the company hemorrhages cash and cuts jobs, it’s quietly building infrastructure for a future that hinges entirely on the R2’s success. Rivian filed plans Tuesday with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for a $9.5 million service and sales center in Round Rock, a fast-growing…
Four motors. No mechanical differentials. Software controlling every wheel independently. BMW just revealed the technical details behind its first fully electric M car, and while the spec sheet promises revolutionary performance, the real story is what this architecture means for the future of the driving experience that M badge buyers actually pay premium prices for.…
After years of promising that Full Self-Driving would become an “appreciating asset,” Tesla just admitted the opposite by killing the $8,000 purchase option entirely.

I’ve been documenting the collapse of Western automakers’ China EV strategies for over a year, but the 2025 final numbers are worse than even I expected. Chinese brands now control nearly two-thirds of the world’s largest car market, and the foreign automakers who once dominated are either fleeing or writing off billions in failed EV…
Tesla is finally getting its chance to prove Full Self-Driving works on European roads. But the safety concerns that kept regulators cautious haven’t gone anywhere. The Dutch vehicle authority RDW will begin supervised testing of Tesla’s FSD system in February 2026, according to Reuters. This comes after months of back-and-forth between Tesla and European regulators,…
I’ve spent the past year documenting what happens when you build an industry on government subsidies. Now we have the data to prove what we suspected all along: the $7,500 federal tax credit never drove genuine EV demand. Deloitte’s 2026 Global Automotive Consumer Study, released today, surveyed more than 28,500 consumers across 27 countries between…
