Yesterday, I wrote about Elon Musk’s long history predicting robotaxi-capable Tesla Autopilot/Full Self Driving.

There are clearly Tesla fans (and, more importantly, shareholders) who will try to spin any news as positive for Tesla. It happens constantly, and it’s quite annoying when it’s obviously false and unrealistic. On the flip side, I’ve covered Tesla closely for 13 years, which means I’ve covered the dramatic … [continued]

During the 2024 US presidential campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly attacked electric vehicles and Joe Biden’s EV policies, including the US EV tax credit (which was first passed under George W.

The investments have been made — into R&D, production lines, supply chains, etc. Now automakers want to get … [continued]
