Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX merger would be Musk’s 4th billion-dollar self-deal
Elon Musk is reportedly floating the idea of merging Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX, just weeks before SpaceX’s massive IPO on the Nasdaq. If it happens, this would literally be the fourth time Musk has orchestrated a billion-dollar transaction between companies he controls.
No one in corporate America is doing this at the scale Musk is. Between SolarCity, Twitter/X, and xAI, Musk has built a playbook for self-dealing that is unprecedented — and now he’s gearing up for the biggest one yet.

On this really quick episode of Quick Charge, we spend time with TRC Senior Director and ACT Expo co-founder Joe Annotti to talk about the state of clean trucking in 2026, incentive programs, and ever so briefly talk about why Autocar was my favorite OEM at this year’s show.

On today’s prancing episode of Quick Charge, the prancing horse people at Ferrari have released a world of firsts: the first-ever electric Ferrari, the brand’s first 5 passenger sedan, AND the first car designed by legendary Apple designer Jony Ive.

Tesla ‘Robotaxi’ fleet is actually shrinking, not growing, new data shows
Less than a month after we reported that Tesla’s unsupervised “Robotaxi” fleet was finally showing some signs of growth, new data from the Robotaxi Tracker tells a different story. The fleet is actually shrinking.
The number of active unsupervised Tesla “Robotaxis” has dropped to just 20 vehicles — down from the 25 cumulative vehicles we reported in late April — and the total active fleet across all Tesla ride-hailing operations has collapsed to just 34 vehicles.

America is panicking about e-bikes while ignoring the real problem
If you spend enough time reading local news headlines these days, you’d be forgiven for thinking electric bicycles are one of the greatest threats facing American streets. Teenagers on fat-tire e-bikes, viral videos of wheelies, stories about injuries complete with ER doctor interviews… the same themes are playing on repeat.

Ferrari (RACE) stock plunges 6% on Luce EV backlash — don’t panic!
Ferrari (RACE) shares dropped 6.27% in Milan trading on Tuesday, falling to €290.55 and wiping out roughly £3 billion in market cap a day after Maranello unveiled the Luce, its first all-electric car.
The reaction online was overwhelmingly negative — the design got compared to a Honda Accord, an Apple Store minivan, and a luxury toaster. Investors clearly took the temperature of the internet and ran. But we’ve seen this exact movie before — when Ford put the Mustang badge on an electric SUV.
Why New York’s push to regulate e-bikes just slammed on the brakes
New York lawmakers had been pushing for increased e-bike regulations this year, including potential registration and even licensing for e-bikes. But now it looks like the sails propelling the movement have run out of wind, at least for now.
Ferrari Luce first look: going where combustion can’t follow
Ferrari unveiled the Luce today in Rome, completing a three-act reveal that started with specs last October and continued with the Jony Ive-designed interior in February. The Italian automaker flew me to Rome for the launch, and I got about 30 minutes to explore the vehicle up close, though I couldn’t drive it.
What I found was a car that challenges just about every assumption of what a Ferrari should look like, who should sit in it, and how it should sound, while being unmistakably, stubbornly Ferrari in the ways that matter most: emotions.

This July, the 2026 Electrek Formula Sun Grand Prix (FSGP) and American Solar Challenge (ASC) head north to Minnesota, and one of the 46 registered teams is making the trip for the very first time. The Delft Solar Team is flying in from the Netherlands, and they aren’t exactly showing up empty-handed.
I caught up with Rosa Van Wijngaarden, who runs PR for the team, to talk about who they are, what they’re driving, and what it’s like to prep for a race on a continent the team has never set wheels on.
