Tesla just launched the most compelling version of the Cybertruck it has ever offered — a dual-motor all-wheel-drive model starting at $59,990, and CEO Elon Musk is already signaling that it won’t last.

In a post on X, Musk responded to the announcement of the new AWD Cybertruck with a cryptic but damning three words: “Only for the next 10 days.”

Honda is doubling down on small electric two-wheelers with the launch of a new budget-friendly model that undercuts its own gasoline equivalent – and can be ridden without a full motorcycle license.

Tesla is now selling a base model all-wheel drive Cybertruck starting at $60k, and has cut the price of its top-end Cyberbeast model to $100k, down from $115k. The move comes as the company struggles to sell the controversial truck, which has heretofore never come close to meeting its projected volume.

Update: Elon Musk now says this price and/or trim will only be available for 10 days.

Calibrant Energy has signed a definitive agreement with Iron Mountain to build, own, and operate a 23-megawatt-hour (MWh) battery at the latter’s New Jersey data center.

Elon Musk has reiterated his claim that Tesla will sell the Cybercab directly to consumers for under $30,000 before the end of the year, following the first production unit rolling off the line at Giga Texas on February 17. The announcement immediately set Tesla fans ablaze, not with discussions about the vehicle’s autonomy challenges, but with AI-generated images of YouTuber Marques Brownlee sporting a freshly shaved head.

Calm down, everyone. You almost certainly won’t get to see MKBHD’s bare head.

The largest real-world study yet, accounting for nearly a million plug-in hybrid vehicles, shows that PEVs use far more gasoline than previously claimed. The study comes just as Europe is about to change PHEV regulations, with industry lobbying to maintain the current highly inaccurate numbers.

BYD revealed the first vehicle under its new Linghui sub-brand. The Linghui e9 is an all-electric sedan with a cruising range of 375 miles (605 km), but BYD’s latest EV is aimed at a new market.

EV newcomer Slate Auto just shared an interesting new video on its social media, setting the stage to reveal pricing of its flagship “Blank Slate” electric pickup in June. From what the American startup is saying, it sounds like the bare-bones model will still be one of the most affordable EVs on the market.

A wastewater pumping station in Erie County, New York, is now running backup power on a battery storage system instead of a diesel generator, and local officials say it could cut costs, emissions, and maintenance headaches.

The new Toyota RAV4 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) now delivers up to 150 km (93 miles) of electric range, 58% more than the outgoing version.

Eight months ago, Tesla made headlines around the world when it claimed to have completed the “world’s first autonomous delivery of a car”, a Model Y that “drove itself” from Gigafactory Texas to a customer’s home about 30 minutes away. Tesla never did it again. Not once.

Aventon is doubling down on trail performance with the launch of the new Ramblas ADV, an electric hardtail mountain bike built around the company’s second-generation in-house mid-drive motor. Positioned as a do-it-all, go anywhere, all-terrain machine, the Ramblas ADV blends legitimate MTB components with commuter-friendly versatility, all at a price that undercuts many premium mid-drive competitors but may still make eyes water in the direct-to-consumer market that has become accustomed to bargain basement pricing on simpler e-bikes.

Hyundai’s electric SUV appears to be undergoing a considerable overhaul after a mysterious model was caught with several major upgrades. The prototype looks more like a Tesla than the current IONIQ 5 on the inside.

Three months after initial reports that Apple Watch support was coming to the Rivian app, the American automaker has begun rolling out the feature to its vehicle owners. I received early access to test on my R1S, which you can see in my video below.

Tesla filed new comments with the California Public Utilities Commission that amount to a quiet admission: its “Robotaxi” service still relies on both in-car human drivers and domestic remote operators to function. Rather than downplaying these dependencies, Tesla leans into them — arguing that its multi-layered human supervision model is more reliable than Waymo’s fully driverless system, pointing to the December 2025 San Francisco blackout as proof.

The filing, submitted February 13 in CPUC Rulemaking 25-08-013, reveals the massive operational gap between what Tesla calls a “Robotaxi” and what Waymo actually operates as one.

A newly introduced bill in California could dramatically change how electric bikes are treated under state law – and it may put license plates on most e-bikes.

On today’s labor-intensive episode of Quick Charge, Germany’s largest union IG Metall is squaring off with Tesla in a major dispute involving a toxic work culture, criminal charges, defamation, and more – but at least they can still sell cars in California (for now).

Amazon is committed to adding 100,000 Rivian electric vans to its delivery fleet by 2030. And, if 2025 is any indication, they’re well on their way — the company grew its Rivian van fleet by more than 50% in 2025, alone.

European solar roofing company Roofit.Solar has completed its first US project, marking its official entry into the North American market with a residential installation in Michigan.
