Porsche has given the 2027 Taycan simulated gear shifting, a feature its own development driver publicly dismissed less than two years ago. The system, called E-Shift, lets drivers row through eight virtual gears using paddles on the GT Sport steering wheel, with a virtual rev limiter and gear-specific drag torque tuned to mimic engine braking.…
Rivian began handing the first R2 mid-size SUVs to customers on June 9, and within days the vehicle’s lease quotes, not its driving reviews, became the story. A 36-month lease on the R2 Performance lists at $829 a month on Rivian’s own configurator, and a lighter down payment pushes the figure past $1,000. EVXL reported…

Political scientists Fengming Lu and Xiao Ma argue the boom was never engineered by a Beijing master plan. It grew from alliances between ambitious second-tier city governments and private carmakers that central regulators had locked out of…
Tesla has filed for a permit to run a paid robotaxi service across Clark County, Nevada, and the number it put on paper is the part worth stopping on.
