The hype is dead. The Tesla Cybertruck, once billed as the future of electric vehicles, is now looking like a commercial bust. In the second quarter of 2025, Tesla sold just 4,306 Cybertrucks, down a staggering 50.8% from the 8,755 units it delivered during the same period last year, according to new data from Kelley […]
Ford Just Made It a Lot Easier to Buy a Car This Summer
On the surface, Ford’s latest announcement is a fantastic deal for car buyers. The company is retiring its “employee pricing for all” campaign and rolling out an aggressive “Zero, Zero, Zero” summer sales event: zero down payment, zero percent interest for 48 months, and zero payments for the first 90 days. It’s a tempting offer, […]

China Delays BYD Factory in Mexico Over Concerns Tech Will Leak to American Rivals
China is frequently a target of criticism over allegations that it does not innovate but instead exfiltrates intellectual property developed abroad and wins by undercutting rivals on price.

U.S. Government Removing EV Chargers From All Federal Buildings Because They Are “Not Mission Critical”
As part of its continued efforts to own the libs, or get rid of anything President Trump does not like or understand, the General Services Administration is moving to remove electric chargers from all federal properties nationwide.

China’s BYD Adding ‘High-Level’ Self-Driving to Its Budget $10K Electric Car
Tesla’s famously sky-high market valuation is based in part on the premise that it is not actually a car company at all, but an AI and robotics company. Selling a $25,000 electric car that can transition the world to a sustainable future is no longer the goal but rather creating AI software that can make […]
Ford Still Losing Billions on EVs, but Not All Is Lost
Ford continues to lose a lot of money on electric vehicles like the F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E. New tariffs on Mexico and China—which may or may not go into effect—as well as the elimination of former President Biden’s EV incentives are not likely to help. The silver lining is that Ford still prints money […]
