In decade-ago buff-book parlance, the hed conceived within Slack would have involved “put a ring on it”

Seriously though, the global release notes this model is 'even more status-conscious' with the grille. Is playing ICE with EVs a status thing now?

Allegedly, reportedly, based on speculation about a speculative report relying on unnamed sources (plus additional vague replies or emoticons from CEO).

Such is the reality of covering almost anything Tesla outside of pricing and direct product between quarterly financial calls.

It is almost as if something happened around 2010 that started distracting drivers so badly that they fail to see bicyclists until they've killed them. Hmm, what could that have been? 📵

Distilled take on the revamped 2025 Porsche Taycan after a few hours on the road:
It's still the Porsche 911 of EVs, and pricier than ever. And it fully delivers on the future teased by Mission E and then some. greencarreports.com/news/1142755_2…

Another point to mull this election cycle:

US automakers 'are privately worried that a second Donald Trump win will lead to a gutting of EV rules. While this helps boost short-term profits, it shields the industry from the necessity of coming up with something to beat China.'

This morning's disappointing Tesla numbers are a small snapshot vs. all the EV maker has (or hasn't yet) accomplished.

Tesla the company and Musk the CEO have already overcome the odds like no other. Thanks to John 'legacy blue check' Voelcker for the perspective.

Automakers are already talking up 70-mile PHEVs. And no, it's not all of their own benevolence—it's the potential to get just as much credit from a PHEV as from an EV if they get there. greencarreports.com/news/1142720_n…

Great job, friends Tom Moloughney Kyle Conner. Highlights how an open Supercharger network and adapters might not speed up charging stops themselves but WILL make EV road trips so much easier with more choices along the way.

Rivian's surprise R3 and R3X are the EVs small-car fans like me didn't know they needed until Thursday.

Sure, Rivian faces headwinds. But with R2 it also just clearly laid out how it gets from a niche maker to a mass-market premium brand. greencarreports.com/news/1142536_c…

These R3s kind of stole the show. Electric Lada Niva anyone?

Rivian R3 and R3X! These proportions are great.

R2 price is set for $45,000 start, reservations open today.

Rivian R2 is built around a 4695 battery cell, structural battery pack. All motor combinations over 300 miles range.

Ready for R2!
