I drove the latest Cadillac Vistiq electric SUV for a week. I added almost a thousand miles on it and put it through Electrek’s new EV review battery of tests. Here are all the results and my thoughts about what turned out to be an enjoyable electric vehicle packed with luxury – but not without limitations.
Elon Musk declared today that Tesla will be “one of the companies to make AGI” and “probably the first to make it in humanoid/atom-shaping form.” It’s the latest in a long string of grand AI predictions from the Tesla CEO.
The problem is that Musk has been making similar claims about AI breakthroughs for years, and he has been wrong every single time. Now, with Tesla’s sales declining for a second consecutive year and earnings crashing, this looks like yet another attempt to attach Tesla to the AI hype cycle.
Electric bike maker Heybike has just officially unveiled its latest model, the Venus, a lightweight commuter-focused e-bike designed to bridge the gap between practical urban transportation and relaxed recreational riding. The new model launches with a starting MSRP of $1,499 and brings together a relatively powerful drivetrain, long-range claims, and a lighter frame package aimed at everyday riders.
On today’s disturbingly dirty episode of Quick Charge, Elon Musk is undoing nearly two decades of decarbonization by pumping out massive amounts of pollution to keep his xAI and Grok slop-machines rolling – and hurting some of America’s most vulnerable communities at the same time.
Global lithium demand could top 13 million tonnes by 2050 if the world moves fast on clean energy, according to Wood Mackenzie’s latest Energy Transition Outlook for Lithium. The warning is blunt: Without major new investment, lithium shortages could start as early as 2028.
A new report produced by a coalition of environmental and social advocacy groups details forward progress being made across the industry towards more sustainable supply chains, with Tesla leading the pack and Chinese brands standing out as making the quickest progress in the last year.
Aptera Motors, “the little startup that could,” announced another important milestone today, completing the first example of its flagship solar EV on its validation assembly line in Southern California. You go, Aptera.
Lexus has officially axed the UX 300e from its lineup, its first 100% electric vehicle. The RZ is now the only EV that Toyota’s luxury brand offers, but that will change soon.
The 2027 iX4 is set to join BMW’s electric vehicle lineup soon, bringing a new coupe SUV-like style to the family. Ahead of its debut, the 2027 BMW iX4 was spotted testing in Sweden, giving us a closer look at what to expect.
Toyota and Stellantis are both withdrawing from Tesla’s European CO2 emissions pool for 2026, according to new EU filings. The two automakers were among the largest paying members of the pool.
The move is the latest blow to Tesla’s regulatory credit revenue, which has already been shrinking globally after the US eliminated its own emission credit market last year.
Elon Musk’s xAI is now operating 62 unpermitted methane gas turbines across two data centers in Memphis, Tennessee, and Southaven, Mississippi. According to xAI’s own permit application, the facilities could emit more than 6 million tons of greenhouse gases and over 1,300 tons of health-harming air pollutants every year.
Meanwhile, Tesla’s latest impact report brags about avoiding 32 million metric tons of CO2. Musk is single-handedly erasing a significant chunk of his own company’s climate legacy to power a middle-of-the-pack AI model.
Hyundai’s hot streak continued after another record-setting US sales month. The IONIQ 5 defied the odds with a surprise record February after sales rose 33%.
Chinese manufacturing and equipment firm Zoomlion looks set for a breakout year – the company has shipped some 15,000 units with a combined value of approximately 8.5 billion yuan (~1.2B), and we’re barely into March (!).
If you’ve been watching the light electric two-wheeler space over the last few years, you’ve probably noticed one category growing faster than just about anything else: compact electric “e-motos.”
These trail-optimized machines have carved out a niche somewhere far above off-road electric bicycles yet still below full-size dirt bikes, offering serious performance in a smaller, more approachable package.
Engwe, a popular maker of several different styles of electric bicycles, has just launched what appears to be its boldest and most powerful electric two-wheeler yet, the M20 3.0.
