New registration data confirms what Electrek has been reporting for six months: Tesla’s Cybertruck sales are being propped up by Elon Musk’s other companies. SpaceX alone bought 1,279 Cybertrucks in Q4 2025 — 18% of every Cybertruck registered in the US that quarter.

Without those inter-company purchases, Cybertruck registrations would have fallen 51% year-over-year instead of the numbers Tesla reported.

Cargo e-bikes have quickly become one of the most practical segments of the electric bicycle world, offering car-replacing utility at a fraction of the cost of owning and operating a vehicle. But while they’re cheaper than cars, they’re still not exactly cheap.

Most decent cargo e-bikes tend to start around $1,500 and can easily climb past $4,000 or more, especially when including higher end components, larger batteries, and from brand names known for longer-lasting bikes. So with cargo e-bikes nearly always costing well into the four digits, an unassuming entrant from Buzz Bikes now seems particularly eye-catching, with the company touting its affordable Beekeeper cargo e-bike at a shockingly low price of just US $799.

Ford is reorganizing its standalone electric vehicle division — and losing the executive who built it. The automaker said today that Doug Field, its chief EV, digital, and design officer, will leave the company next month after nearly five years leading Ford’s push into software-defined EVs.

In his place, Ford isn’t bringing in another Silicon Valley hire. It’s folding the EV, digital, and design group into its global manufacturing operations under COO Kumar Galhotra, in a new unit called Product Creation and Industrialization.

Updated: the article’s lead was updated from Ford ‘dissolving’ its EV unit to ‘reshuffling’.
