A surprising video has emerged today, presenting something that was not officially announced – a crab walking Tesla Cybertruck. Joe Tegtmeyer (@JoeTegtmeyer / X), who is regularly covering progress at the Tesla Giga Texas factory in detail, recently came across a Tesla Cybertruck undergoing some kind of test, we guess. The vehicle was stopped for a while (possibly to prepare driving settings or to select a driving mode) and then started to slowly drive in a diagonal direction. This type of driving was named a crab walk by General Motors, which utilizes the rear-wheel steering in the GMC Hummer EV Pickup/SUV to…
The refreshed 2024 Tesla Model 3 has been reviewed by a number of European media outlets, but not that many journalists from the U.S. have had the chance to check it out and drive it yet. Fortunately, our old friend Kyle Conner from Out of Spec Reviews did, and he even got the chance to see how the Model 3 Highland drives at top speed on Germany’s Autobahn. This 50-minute review is actually one of the most complete we’ve seen so far as it covers multiple scenarios including city driving, performance driving, highway driving – including going full speed on the…
In October, the Norwegian car market once again noted a significant 29 percent year-over-year decrease, dropping new registrations down to 8,925. Because of that, the year-to-date result of 104,424 is now deeper into the red at -9.4 percent year-over-year. Despite the fact that people are buying a lower number of new cars, the market is dominated by rechargeable ones, which maintain their ultra-high market share. According to the Norwegian Road Federation (OFV), 8,151 new passenger plug-in cars were registered last month (down 25 percent year-over-year), which was 91.3 percent of the total volume (compared to 87.7 percent a year ago).…

Nissan hopes to go without cooling systems for its solid-state batteries on the way later this decade. Ford bolsters the network of chargers its EV drivers can tap into. And Toyota lays down a lot of cash up front toward American EV production. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. Toyota gave a strong indication on Tuesday that it plans to ramp up U.S. plug-in hybrid production—if not EV production itself—with $8 billion of new battery production investment in North Carolina. That brings the total planned investment in the facility, which is due to focus initially on hybrid batteries,…
Nissan is one of several automakers that see solid-state battery technology as a potential game-changer for EVs going into the next decade. In-house, it plans to both perfect development of all-solid-state battery (ASSB) cells and establish how to make them, with the tech due to make it into a production EV by 2028. If all goes well, Nissan wants to lean on the tech so more vehicle types—especially SUVs, pickups, and vans—make sense in fully electric form by the end of the decade. That appeared to be the gist behind the Hyper Tourer concept Nissan displayed at the Tokyo auto…
All-new Citroen electric e-C3 Once a fierce critic of the European Union’s push to restrict ICE vehicles, Stellantis is now reaping rewards from its shift in focus to EVs, with France taking the lead thanks to revised “green bonus” incentives for Europe-made cars while freezing out Chinese brands. Yesterday the company announced a 7% year-on-year sales uptick yesterday, with a 37% boost in EV sales in Europe. Stellantis, the parent company of Fiat, Ram, and Peugeot, can thank sales of its popular Jeep Avenger, Citroën Ami, and Peugeot E-208 models for the boost in EV sales. According to figures released…
Ford will add Tesla V4 Supercharger access for customers as it looks to tap into more public charging stations. While timing for adding those top-tech Tesla chargers has yet to be specified, the automaker did confirm in a recent press release that it would increase its Blue Oval Charging Network by 25%, to a total of 106,000 chargers in North America. The Blue Oval Charging Network is an aggregator rather than a true network, providing a more streamlined interface for Ford customers on existing public charging networks. In this case, Ford grew the number of available stations by adding the…
