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. Tesla’s 2025 deliveries dropped 8.6% to 1.64 million vehicles, handing BYD the title of world’s largest electric vehicle maker by a margin of more than 620,000 units.…

Tesla Sales Slide Signals Buyers Are No Longer the Priority

I’ve spent a year documenting Tesla’s sales collapse across every major market, and this week’s numbers crystallize something prospective buyers need to understand: Tesla has told Wall Street it doesn’t need to sell more cars. For anyone shopping for an EV in 2026, that’s the most important signal in this entire earnings preview. Tesla is…

DJI Spinoff ZYT Takes on Autonomous Trucking with Drone-Derived Tech

ZYT is betting that the same computer vision approach that made DJI drones dominant can now disrupt the autonomous trucking race – and they’re targeting the same H1 2026 mass production timeline as Pony.ai, but with a fraction of the computing power.

China’s ‘No Fire’ Battery Mandate Validates BYD, Challenges Tesla

I’ve been covering the EV battery fire saga for months, from Li Auto’s 11,000-vehicle recall to cargo ships sinking with burning EVs. Now China has done something no other country has attempted: mandating that EV batteries simply cannot catch fire or explode under any test conditions. This isn’t incremental regulation. It’s Beijing declaring that Chinese…

EV Consumer Interest Holds Steady Despite 2025’s Policy Chaos and Sales Collapse

I’ve spent the last year documenting the collapse, the layoffs, and the cancellations. But here’s the number everyone missed: 94% of current EV owners say they’ll buy another EV. After everything that happened this year, that’s the story that actually matters. NPR’s year-end EV retrospective published today runs through the familiar litany of 2025 disasters:…

Tesla Europe Sales Collapse: Market Share Halves as Chinese Rivals Surge

I’ve been documenting Tesla’s European decline all year, and the final numbers are in: it’s worse than even I expected. While the broader European EV market surged 27% in 2025, Tesla’s sales cratered 38.8% to just 129,000 units. That’s not missing a trend. That’s a market share collapse from 2.2% to 1.3% in 11 months while Chinese…

Porsche 718 EV Strategy Collapses: Automaker Now Reverse-Engineering Platform It Spent Billions Building

Porsche just confirmed the most expensive engineering admission of defeat in automotive history. The German automaker is now paying to reverse-engineer the PPE Sport platform it paid billions to develop as EV-only, adding combustion engine capability across the entire next-generation 718 Boxster and Cayman lineup. This isn’t just a product strategy pivot. This is a…
