Tesla is holding a lottery for tickets to its upcoming Cybertruck delivery event on November 30th at its Texas Gigafactory in Austin. The Cybertruck is nearing release, and we’ve been seeing more and more of it in recent months. It was originally meant to be delivered by the end of Q3, but that timeline came and went at the beginning of October. But then Tesla announced during its Q3 results that the Cybertruck delivery event would happen on November 30th. And now its holding a lottery for tickets to attend – but its only open to shareholders. Tesla opened its Cybertruck…
The Jiyue 01 is larger and less expensive than the Tesla Model Y, while leveraging Baidu’s capabilities on cockpit intelligence as well as smart driving to provide additional appeal. https://img.cnevpost.com/2023/10/28093456/2023102801345649.mp3 Jiyue, the electric vehicle (EV) maker created by Baidu in partnership with Geely Holding Group, has officially begun sales of its first model, the Jiyue 01, a crossover that rivals the Tesla Model Y and is poised to intensify competition in China’s EV sector.

Either the damn things are broken or they require a Byzantine log-in process before they will dispense any electrons — not fun if you are standing out in the pouring rain on a dark night on the outskirts of East Overshoe or South Succotash. Of all the charging options out there, only the Tesla Supercharger network is fast and reliable. British Petroleum insists on calling itself bp, perhaps in hopes that people will forget…
Just over two months after announcing a restructuring of its business partnership to bring its AI-powered 01 ROBOCAR to market, Geely and Baidu have officially launched the futuristic autonomous EV in China. The 01 arrives as the world’s first consumer vehicle featuring Baidu’s full Apollo suite of Level 4 autonomous driving solutions.

By March of that year, the JIDU marque was officially announced following $300 million in startup capital, which was joined…
Tesla is trying to make its flagship duo, consisting of the Model S and Model X, more attractive with a new paint color to boost weakening sales. Let’s recall that during the third quarter, global deliveries of the Model S and Model X were down by 14 percent year-over-year at 15,985. The nine-month result for 2023 is also in the red at 45,905 (down 7 percent year-over-year). In its best years, Tesla was selling about 100,000 units a year. One of the solutions to make the Model S/Model X duo more attractive is the addition of new paint colors. In…
Ford Motor Company’s third-quarter earnings revealed rising EV losses caused mainly by slowing demand and the EV price war initiated by Tesla at the start of the year. Ford managed to sell 20,962 electric vehicles in Q3, beating General Motors by a slight margin thanks largely to increased Mustang Mach-E production – Mach-E sales rose 42.5 percent in Q3 with 14,824 units sold, 5,872 of which in September alone. The carmaker’s EV deliveries increased by 44 percent, leading to a 26 percent growth year-over-year in revenue to $1.8 billion for the Ford Model e EV unit. Unfortunately, that’s where the…

Honda’s presence at this year’s Japan Mobility Show was hardly subtle. The automaker’s “Dream Loop” stand showcased products ranging from the surprise return of the Prelude nameplate as a sporty hybrid to the utterly cheerful Sustaina-C Concept with Pocket Concept scooter companion, and a newly capable version of the HondaJet. There were a variety of small, electrified mobility products on hand as well. Alongside the almost-on-sale Motocompacto e-scooter (look for our review on Nov. 1) was the two-wheeled Uni-One “personal mobility device” that debuted last year. Via a translator, I was able to get a lot more detail about the…
The Zeekr 001 FR starts at RMB 769,000, lower than Zeekr’s previous hint of over RMB 1 million, and the model is limited to 99 units per month. https://img.cnevpost.com/2023/10/28002056/2023102716205592.mp3 (Image credit: CnEVPost) Zeekr has officially launched the Zeekr 001 FR (Future Road) electric supercar, a move that the Geely Holding Group’s premium electric vehicle (EV) subsidiary seems to be making to showcase its technological prowess rather than seeking high deliveries.
