Deloitte Survey Reveals Incentives Rank Dead Last Among EV Purchase Motivations

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…

Ford Promises Level 3 Autonomy on $30K EV While Taking $19.5 Billion in Writedowns

I’ve been tracking Ford’s EV pivot for over a year now, and today’s CES announcement is either the most ambitious course correction in automotive history or another promise the company can’t keep. Ford says it will bring Level 3 eyes-off driving to a $30,000 electric pickup truck in 2028. That’s the same company that just…

Tesla Loses Global EV Crown to BYD While Stock Hits All-Time Highs

I’ve been tracking this collision for months, and now it’s official: the company that defined the EV revolution just lost its crown while Wall Street threw a party.

Lucid’s 18-Month Cash Runway: What Buyers Need To Know About The Saudi Safety Net

I’ve been tracking Lucid’s financial situation all year, and a Motley Fool analysis this week crystallized what prospective buyers need to understand: the company that makes arguably the best-engineered electric vehicles on the road has roughly 18 months of confirmed cash runway. For investors, that’s a risk/reward calculation. For someone about to spend $79,900 on…

Tesla’s $2.9 Billion Battery Deal Collapses to $7,386, Confirming 4680 Program Failure

We’ve been tracking Tesla’s 4680 battery saga since Elon Musk unveiled it at Battery Day in 2020, promising it would enable a $25,000 EV within three years. Five years later, we have the clearest evidence yet that those promises have collapsed: a $2.9 billion supply deal reduced to $7,386. That’s not a typo. That’s a…
