ID. range, the GTI revival, PPE platform and Group strategy — Wolfsburg’s EV pivot in full.
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…
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. The Shenzhen-based company, formerly DJI’s autonomous driving division, announced Tuesday that it will…
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…
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…
I’ve been tracking Porsche’s China collapse for months, and this move crystallizes what’s really happening. The German luxury automaker is shutting down its proprietary “Premium Charging” network across China starting March 2026, eliminating roughly 200 fast-charging stations that were supposed to differentiate the Porsche EV ownership experience from competitors. The company’s spin is predictable
I watched Volkswagen announce the ID Buzz as America’s nostalgic EV savior. Now, after one model year and fewer than 5,000 sales, dealers are telling customers it’s over while VW insists it might come back someday. Here’s what you need to know: VW confirmed to Carscoops they won’t produce 2026 ID Buzz models for the…
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…
We’ve reported on Volkswagen’s “affordable EV” promises for years now, and I’ve learned to translate corporate timelines into reality. When VW says the ID.Cross is coming “mid-2026,” I hear “maybe late 2026, if nothing else goes wrong at a company that just posted a €1.3 billion quarterly loss.” New spy photos from Auto Express show…
