Rivian has spent four years and billions of dollars building electric vehicles that most people cannot afford. The R2 — a mid-size SUV that starts at $45,000 and tops out at $57,990 — is the company's answer to that problem. Full pricing and trim details dropped today, 12 March 2026, and deliveries of the first Performance variant begin this spring. If it works, Rivian becomes a proper carmaker. If it does not, the maths gets ugly fast.From Concept to ConcreteThe R2 platform was first announced in 2022, with production originally pencilled in for 2025 at a planned factory in Georgia. That changed in March 2024, when RJ Scaringe, Rivian's founder and chief executive, unveiled the production-ready R2 alongside the smaller R3 and R3X crossovers at a packed event at the Rivian Theater in Laguna Beach, California. Mr Scaringe also confirmed he was scrapping the Georgia plan — at least for now — and would build the R2 at the existing Normal, Illinois plant instead. That decision saved more than $2.25 billion in capital expenditure and, crucially, pulled the launch date forward.Within 24 hours of its unveiling, Rivian had taken more than 68,000 reservations at $100 apiece. By July 2024, the company's VP of manufacturing Tim Fallon said reservations had surpassed 100,000 and were still climbing. Rivian has not updated that figure publicly since.Production began in January 2026. Validation vehicles rolled off the Normal line first, and the factory is now ramping toward a target capacity of 155,000 R2 units per year — alongside the R1 models it already builds there. Each R2 takes roughly 15 hours to assemble, down from 18 hours for an R1.Why the R2 Matters More Than Any Vehicle Rivian Has BuiltThe R1T pickup and R1S SUV earned Rivian a devoted following and the top spot in Consumer Reports owner satisfaction surveys. They also bled money. Rivian posted a net loss of $3.65 billion in 2025, on top of a $4.75 billion loss in 2024. The R1S starts near $75,000 (around £59,000) — a price that limits the addressable market to a sliver of American buyers."R2 is really instrumental for driving the business to positive cash flow and overall profitability," Mr Scaringe told CNBC in February. He was not exaggerating. The bill of materials for the R2 is roughly half that of the R1. Rivian slashed the number of computing units from over 60 in a traditional vehicle to seven, and cut wiring length by about two miles (3.2 km). The result is what Mr Scaringe called "a dramatic reduction in the cost structure to build it."Rivian did scrape together a positive gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 — a milestone, though the margin was wafer-thin at around 2%, compared with Tesla's 17%. The R2, with its leaner architecture and lower price, is meant to close that gap at volume. Analysts expect around 15,000 R2 deliveries in 2026, though some believe Rivian could exceed that figure. By 2027, with three full shifts running, the Normal plant could produce roughly 155,000 R2s annually.Today's Pricing: What You GetThe lineup spans four trims, all sharing an 87.9 kWh usable battery and a $1,495 destination charge. Here is how they break down:The Performance trim arrives first, this spring, at $57,990 (around £46,000) including the Launch Package. It runs dual-motor all-wheel drive with 656 horsepower, 609 lb-ft (826 Nm) of torque and a 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) time of 3.6 seconds. Highway overtaking is savage: 50–70 mph (80–113 km/h) in 1.55 seconds. EPA-estimated range sits at up to 330 miles (531 km). The Launch Package bundles lifetime Autonomy+ access, a tow package rated at 4,400 lbs (1,996 kg) and an exclusive Launch Green paint option.The Premium trim follows in late 2026 at $53,990 (around £43,000). It shares the 330-mile range and dual-motor AWD layout but dials the power back to 450 hp and 537 lb-ft. Zero to 60 takes 4.6 seconds — hardly slow.The Standard RWD Long Range arrives in the first half of 2027 at $48,490 (around £38,500). A single rear motor delivers 350 hp and 355 lb-ft, reaching 60 in 5.9 seconds. Rivian estimates range at up to 345 miles (555 km) — the longest in the lineup, because rear-wheel drive is more efficient.Finally, the Standard RWD variant lands in late 2027 at approximately $45,000 (around £35,700). It uses a smaller battery pack and offers 275+ miles (443+ km) of estimated range. Rivian has shared few other details so far.All trims charge from 10% to 80% in 29 minutes via a native NACS port, which grants access to the Tesla Supercharger network. CCS adapters are supported too.Built Lighter, Built TougherThe R2 rides on an entirely new mid-size unibody platform — a departure from the R1's body-on-frame architecture. The result is a vehicle that weighs nearly 2,000 lbs (907 kg) less than its bigger sibling while sitting on a 115.6-inch (2,936 mm) wheelbase. At 185.9 inches (4,722 mm) long and 75 inches (1,905 mm) wide, it is squarely in Tesla Model Y territory.The weight savings translate directly into agility, but Rivian has kept the off-road DNA intact. Ground clearance of 9.6 inches (244 mm) is best in class — nearly three inches more than a Model Y. Approach and departure angles of 25° and 26° respectively, plus a wading depth of 19.7 inches (500 mm), mean the R2 can do more than look adventurous in a car park. The Performance trim gets semi-active suspension, eight drive modes including Rally and Soft Sand, and a low centre of gravity courtesy of the structural battery pack.Inside, the cabin seats five adults with 40.4 inches (1,026 mm) of rear legroom and headroom — enough, Rivian says, for occupants over six feet (1.83 m) tall. Total enclosed storage is 90.1 cubic feet (2,551 litres), with a front trunk that swallows a carry-on suitcase and a backpack, fold-flat rear seats that create a level loading surface, and dual gloveboxes. The rear drop glass — a powered window that lowers completely into the liftgate — is a genuine talking point, allowing surfboards and other long cargo to slide in or a breeze to sweep through. It is included on Performance and Premium trims.Materials lean sustainable: upcycled Birch wood accents, a headliner made from recycled ocean plastics and Rivian's second-generation Adventex material, which is designed to withstand muddy boots and wet dogs in equal measure.The Technology PlayRivian calls the R2 a "software-defined vehicle," and the specification sheet backs that up. The perception stack comprises 11 HDR cameras with a combined 65 megapixels and a five-radar system — hardware that comes standard on every trim.Rivian Autonomy+, the company's Level 2+ hands-free driver-assist system, covers 3.5 million miles (5.6 million km) of roads across the United States and Canada. It costs $49.99 per month or $2,500 as a one-off purchase. The Launch Package includes it for the lifetime of the vehicle. Every R2 gets a 60-day trial.On-board AI compute runs to 200 TOPS, dedicated to the in-cabin experience. This powers the forthcoming Rivian Assistant — a voice-controlled system that processes complex requests locally, even when offline. The 5G-connected architecture ensures updates arrive over the air, while the offline capability means the vehicle is not hobbled in areas without signal.At the steering wheel, Rivian's in-house Haptic Halo dials replace conventional switchgear. These context-aware controls scroll, push, pull and tilt with distinct tactile feedback for different functions — an attempt to bridge the gap between touchscreen convenience and physical control that many rivals have abandoned entirely. Two digital displays complete the cockpit: one behind the wheel for driving data, and one in the centre for everything else.The Elephant in the Room: TeslaThe R2 lands in the most contested segment of the electric vehicle market. The Tesla Model Y — the best-selling EV on the planet and briefly the best-selling car of any kind in 2023 — starts at $44,000 in the United States and delivers up to 357 miles (575 km) of range. It has a vast Supercharger network, a mature software ecosystem and years of manufacturing refinement behind it.The R2 fights back with 3 inches (7.6 cm) more ground clearance, genuine off-road hardware, a richer interior (Model Y's cabin has always divided opinion) and that distinctive outdoor-adventure identity that Rivian has cultivated since its founding. Whether that is enough to prise buyers away from Tesla — or from the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Chevrolet Equinox EV — remains the central question.Why Failure Is Not an OptionRivian burned roughly $3 billion in the first nine months of 2025 alone. It ended 2024 with about $5.3 billion in cash, a figure being steadily eroded by capital expenditure and operating losses. The Volkswagen joint venture — worth up to $5.8 billion in total — provides a lifeline, as does the potential for Department of Energy loan access. But lifelines do not last for ever.The company's stock tells its own story. Rivian went public in November 2021 at $78 a share, briefly touched $170 and now trades around $15. A 90% decline from the peak concentrates the mind wonderfully.The R2 must do three things at once: attract a materially larger customer base than the R1 ever could, generate a positive gross margin per vehicle and ramp to volumes that spread fixed costs across enough units to bend the loss curve downward. At a planned capacity of 155,000 units per year from Normal alone — with a second factory in Georgia eventually to follow — Rivian has the industrial ambition. The Volkswagen partnership supplies software licensing revenue and engineering credibility.Mr Scaringe has described the R2 as "the most important thing that we've developed as a company." On the evidence of today's specification sheet, it is also the most complete. The range is competitive, the technology is ambitious, the price is within reach of mainstream buyers and the off-road capability gives it a personality that few electric SUVs can match.None of which will matter if Rivian cannot build it at scale, on time and at a cost that leaves room for profit. The company that once dazzled Wall Street with a $170 share price now needs to dazzle customers with a $45,000 truck. That is the harder trick — and the one on which everything depends.

On today's episode of Quick Charge, a new lawsuit alleges that Tesla was negligent in retaining Elon Musk as CEO, comparing him to a fast-talking salesman and questioning his input into engineering and safety decisions at the struggling EV brand. Plus, we explore the executive exodus at Tesla that began in mid 2024, ask why Tesla cars equipped with FSD are driving people into lakes and through railroad crossings, then take a look at the Rivian R2 and upcoming, mid-sized Tesla Model Y "killers" from Lucid. Are these the most credible threats to Tesla's Model Y dominance in America's EV market, yet, or will Tesla's "negligent" CEO come through on his AI-powered promises?

This week on China EVs & More, Tu and Lei break down one of the biggest developments of the year in the global EV industry: BYD's massive technology reset and charging breakthrough.  Facing slowing domestic sales and intensifying competition in China's brutal EV price war, BYD responded with a sweeping announcement: a second-generation Blade Battery, ultra-fast 1500 kW flash charging, and plans to build 20,000 ultra-fast charging stations to support it. The message was clear—BYD intends to stay ahead of rivals like CATL, Geely, and Tesla by pushing the technological frontier.Tu and Lei unpack what this means for China's EV ecosystem, including how ultra-fast charging could challenge battery swapping models and reshape charging infrastructure globally.The episode also explores the widening gap between China's hyper-competitive EV market and the West, where Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y still dominate despite limited product updates. They discuss why Tesla remains the benchmark in autonomy and software—even as Chinese OEMs rapidly close the gap with AI-driven platforms and advanced ADAS systems.Other topics include:The scale of China's EV price war and BYD's strategy to regain momentumRoboSense becoming a major LiDAR supplier for BYD's new vehiclesWhy legacy automakers are struggling to keep pace with Chinese EV innovationThe rise of ultra-affordable EVs like the Geely XingyuanAnd how EV ownership experiences differ dramatically between China and the United StatesWith Tu now on his second EV and Lei about to take delivery of his first Tesla Model Y, the hosts also share real-world perspectives on EV ownership, charging infrastructure, and autonomy features.Fast-moving, analytical, and sometimes provocative, this episode captures the moment when the EV industry's center of gravity continues shifting toward China EV Inc.__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Autonomous vehicle technology has moved past human-coded rules and into an era of neural networks and custom computer chips. And to solve the most difficult driving scenarios, electric vehicle company Rivian abandoned its original technology platform to build a vertically integrated data stack. Sarah Guo sits down with Rivian Founder and CEO RJ Scaringe to explore the seismic shift in the automotive industry toward AI-driven, software-defined vehicles . RJ discusses the move away from function or domain-based architecture for vehicle electronic systems to software-defined architecture, which allows for dynamic, monthly updates to features in Rivian's vehicles. RJ also talks about the upcoming launch of Rivian's R2 model, which aims to be a distinct, affordable, mass-market alternative to the Tesla Model Y. Plus, RJ shares his vision for a future where vehicles don't just drive us, but inspire personal freedom and exploration. Sign up for new podcasts every week.

New-car prices keep climbing, loan terms keep stretching, and shoppers are left to figure out what “value” really means. We bring on Alex from U.S. News & World Report to unpack the Best Cars for the Money awards, where expert road tests meet five-year ownership costs and real transaction data. The result is a practical shortlist of vehicles you can actually buy and enjoy without fearing the next payment or repair bill.We walk through the standouts. Kia's dramatic rise from budget to benchmark shows up across gas, hybrid, PHEV, and EV segments, with thoughtful packaging and long warranties that protect your wallet. In compact cars, the K4 challenges class leaders on price and coverage. For SUVs, we parse needs honestly: the Nissan Murano shines as a two-row value with style and standard safety, while the Kia Sorento makes sense as a smaller, occasional-use three-row that trims fuel and purchase costs. For buyers who truly need bigger rigs, Ford's Expedition and F-150 deliver lower lifetime costs relative to peers without skimping on core features at the entry point.We also go deep on EV reality. Regional charging, climate, and daily mileage matter, which is why compact options like the Chevy Equinox EV can be a sweet spot in cities, while larger families may see the Kia EV9 as the right fit. Then we get hands-on with the Polestar 4 Dual Motor: big power, clean design, a camera-based rear view, and a minimal interface that trades knobs for screens. We talk range, charging time, and how a dimmable glass roof feels in hot sun, plus how it stacks up against Tesla Model Y and Hyundai's Ioniq lineup.Looking for clarity in a confusing market? You'll get data-backed picks, real-world buying tips, and straight talk on how to stretch your dollars without hating your daily drive. If this helped your search, follow the show, share with a friend who's car-shopping, and leave a quick review to tell us your favorite value pick.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Tesla har tre nya fall där de vägra följa Allmänna reklamationsnämndens råd – men billigt är det med Tesla, i alla fall om vi ser till senaste privatleasingen. Subaru inför 10 års garanti – nästan lite misstänkt snabbt! Vi kollar på Europas mest sålda elbilar och slutligen funderar vi om inte Kia har börjat bli lite för dyra.Länkar* Alla ARN-fallen som Tesla vägrar följa: https://teknikveckan.se/tesla-fortsatter-ignorera-allmanna-reklamationsnamnden* Europas mest sålda elbilar: https://alltomelbil.se/dessa-elbilar-salde-bast-i-europa-tesla-model-y-etta-skoda-elroq-arets-raket/Kapitel00:00 – Elbilsveckan 16613:00 – Tesla Model Y privatleasing15:00 – Tesla ARN24:00 – Subarus 10-åriga garanti29:00 – Mest sålda elbilar i Europa39:00 – Kia EV4 Hosted on Acast.

I Elbilsveckan avsnitt 164 bjuds det på både långresor, parkeringsfunderingar, batteriteknik och nyheter – innan vi landar i ett högintressant huvudämne.Vi börjar med VICPICPRODUCTIONS som berättar om sitt ambitiösa äventyr: en resa från Malmö till Vemdalen tur och retur i en fullpackad Tesla Model Y. Avfärd skedde redan klockan 19 för att barnen skulle kunna sova i bilen, och med både bakbox och tung last upplevdes bilen för en gångs skull ovanligt mjuk och komfortabel. Totalt blev det 192 mil, fyra laddstopp per riktning, tre vändor hem – och till och med laddning direkt på fasaden. Trots omfattningen låter resan nästan… smärtfri.Conny från Youtube lyfter en fråga många elbilsägare känner igen sig i: har parkeringsrutorna hängt med bilarnas utveckling? Standardmåttet på 2,5 x 5 meter krymps ibland till 2,3 meters bredd, samtidigt som bilar vuxit rejält. Från 90-talets 170–180 cm breda bilar är vi idag ofta uppe på 190–200 cm, särskilt bland SUV:ar – något som gör vardagsparkering till en allt större utmaning.Simon på Spotify vill höra våra tankar om Donut Labs solid-state-batterier. Det finska bolaget uppges ha tagit fram världens första solid-state-batteri för produktionsfordon, som nu ska användas i motorcyklar från Verge. Med imponerande specifikationer som 400 Wh/kg (jämfört med cirka 250 Wh/kg för NCM), laddning till 100 % på 15 minuter, upp till 100 000 laddcykler och 99 % kapacitet kvar vid -30 grader, låter det nästan för bra för att vara sant. Batterierna ska finnas i storlekarna 20 eller 33 kWh.Från Spotify kommer även en fråga från fr4zze om den uppdaterade, sportiga Xpeng P7 – vad vet vi egentligen om den nya versionen?I nyhetsdelen går vi igenom flera färska elbilsnyheter. Xpeng G6 i Standard-utförande landar på 499 000 kronor och erbjuder 470 km WLTP, 185 kW effekt, ett 68,5 kWh-batteri och en utrustningsnivå där ”allt ingår”. Subaru presenterar sin eldrivna e-Outback med priser från 570 000 kronor, 595 000 för Touring och upp till 630 000 kronor för en fullutrustad version. Dessutom blickar vi mot Skoda PeaQ – en helt ny sjusitsig elbil från Skoda som ska lanseras redan i år.Avsnittet avslutas med huvudämnet: en första upplevelse av Tesla FSD. Hur känns det, vad fungerar – och vad väcker fortfarande frågor?Länk om parkeringsrutestrul i Malmö: https://www.sydsvenskan.se/malmo/p-rutorna-pa-malmo-c-for-smala-for-vanliga-bilar/Kapitel00:01:26 – Ingen förvärme i Audin00:09:50 – Så gick det att köra Malmö - Vemndalen med fullastad bil och ungar00:14:20 – Börjar bilarna bli för stora för parkeringsfickorna?00:17:58 – Donut Labs Solid State-batterier – är det på riktigt?00:28:23 – Vet vi något om New Xpeng P7?00:30:14 – Xpeng G600:34:04 – E-Outback00:44:14 – Skoda PeaQ00:48:45 – Tesla FSD Hosted on Acast.

On today's episode, we discuss James's awe‑struck ride in a fully self‑driving Tesla Model Y on “Mad Max” mode, using it to launch into concerns about how regulators, trial lawyers, and “communists” might eventually clamp down on true automotive freedom. From there, they dive deep into the unfolding Somali‑linked welfare fraud scandal and the deadly New Orleans SUV attack, arguing that Democratic elites need immigrant “martyrs” and imported voters, while Republican and tech‑sector power brokers quietly profit from the same global money pipelines. By the end, they call for the whole corrupt system—bureaucrats, NGOs, and political fixers alike—to be exposed and “imploded” through real prosecutions at the top, while media figures like Dan Bongino keep public attention from drifting away after a few news cycles. Don't miss it!

NIO ended 2025 up 26%, but the journey was wild. XPeng kept over-promising. OpenAI just became too big to fail. And $160 million in Nvidia chips got smuggled to China. This is my 2025 year-end review covering everything that mattered.Thank you for rocking with Courtside Financial all year. Happy New Year! Let me know what content you want to see in 2026.NIO'S 2025 FULL STORYNIO started at $4.55, peaked at $7.89 in October, closed at $5.50 - up 26% for the year.Key moments: February Onvo L60 image sparked 10% jump. March capital raise tanked stock to $3.75, but $4B Hong Kong offering funded growth. April brought Shen Fei as new Onvo president. July-August surge: L60 pre-sales drove 40% gain, third-gen ES8 launch added another 23% spike. September $1B raise initially dropped 9% but rallied 30% as investors recognized growth funding. Stock peaked October 2 at $7.89. November declined 24% as China subsidies ended. December 30 brought 2026 subsidy news, stock closed year at $5.50.Bottom line: NIO executed three-brand strategy, launched Onvo and Firefly, improved margins, raised capital twice. Now faces proving profitability at scale.XPENG'S OVER-PROMISING PROBLEMHe Xiaopeng announced "orders exceeded expectations" five times in 2025 - only MONA M03 delivered. New P7 peaked at 8,104 September units then crashed to 2,882 by November despite 40 units/hour capacity. G7 got 10,000 orders in 9 minutes but sales fell to 2,500-3,500 units while Tesla Model Y averaged 38,000.Service failures: 7,000+ owners complained after $5,000 chip upgrades caused system crashes. XPeng promised nationwide CNGP in 2022 - still only 5 cities despite customers paying $39,000 extra. Trust matters when markets get tough.OPENAI TOO BIG TO FAIL?SoftBank invested $41 billion in OpenAI on December 26, now owns 11%. Microsoft owns 27%. OpenAI valued $300-500 billion, not yet profitable. Committed to $1.4 trillion infrastructure spending. SoftBank sold entire $5.8B Nvidia stake to fund this.The question: Has OpenAI become too big to fail? If it fails, SoftBank, Microsoft, Oracle all hurt. Data centers, Nvidia's growth, entire AI buildout slows. System has to keep OpenAI alive because letting it fail craters too much. That's "too big to fail" - saw it with banks in 2008.OpenAI burns billions, revenue growing but so are costs. If AI hype slows, they have problems. But investors can't let them fail now, will keep funding betting revenue catches up. Risk is real when you build this big, this fast on this much investment.CHIP WARS: $160M SMUGGLING BUSTDOJ unsealed Operation Gatekeeper December 8. October 2024-May 2025: Smugglers moved $160M+ in Nvidia H100/H200 GPUs to China. These chips power AI, same ones OpenAI uses. Export-controlled, can't legally sell to China.How: Fake companies, falsified documents, relabeled chips as "Sandkyan," routed through multiple warehouses. May 28 raid in New Jersey caught three trucks picking up chips. Smugglers used group chat - when police arrived, chat said "dissolve group, delete everyone." Too late.Three arrested, one pleaded guilty facing 10 years. Estimates show 10,000 to hundreds of thousands chips smuggled in 2024.Why China needs them: Building domestic chips but years behind. 60%+ of Chinese AI models still run on Nvidia. Chinese companies pay 2x-5x premium, smugglers risk prison to supply.Trump twist: Same day as bust, Trump posted US would allow H200 exports if government gets 25% cut - exact chips being smuggled. Defense attorneys asked how they're national security threats when President approves export.Reality: Export controls don't work when incentives this strong. Continues until China develops competitive chips (years away), US loosens controls (Trump willing), or AI demand crashes (not happening).

In this episode I talk about the revolutionary Tesla Model Y.More Content:prestonjensen.comTeslahttps://www.tesla.com/modely

In Episode 227, Tu and Lei break down a massive week in the global EV industry — one where China's innovation pace keeps accelerating while Western automakers scramble to respond.  Xiaomi's YU7 officially outsells the Tesla Model Y in October, marking a symbolic shift in China's most competitive EV segment. Meanwhile, Tesla's domestic sales slump to 26,000, signaling that aggressive price cuts and financing perks may not be enough as Chinese challengers tighten the pressure.The hosts also unpack XPeng's viral AI Day, featuring the “Iron Lady” humanoid robot, new L4 capable RoboTaxi prototypes, the Turing chip's rising importance, and XPeng's “physical AI” strategy — positioning the company as a vertically integrated mobility+AI platform rather than just an automaker.On the U.S. side, GM sparks headlines after reportedly urging suppliers to “de-China” their supply chains by 2027 — a massive, risky reshoring effort that could reshape cost structures across North America. Tu and Lei discuss the feasibility and geopolitical backdrop, including the Nexperia crisis, ICE tariff pressures, and USMCA uncertainty._____________________They also hit:

Een verwarrende situatie vandaag in de Bright Podcast rond de nieuwe naam van Apple TV+, verbazing over de goedkopere Tesla Model Y en antwoord op de vraag: is de eerste draagbare Xbox de moeite waard? Verder in deze aflevering: Google Meet geeft je AI-make-up, wetenschappers ontdekken waarom tijd anders loopt op Mars, en ondertussen worden slimme soundbars en smart-homeknoppenbinnenkort letterlijk dom. Tips uit deze aflevering: Bepsaartip: Zeg eens wat streamingdiensten op en krijg gratis maanden. Podimo geeft 3 maanden voor de prijs van 1, Amazon Prime 1 maand voor 1 euro en ga zo maar door. Ze willen je heel graag bij je houden. Game: Mini Motorways. Een soort van rustgevende game waarin je een strak ontworpen kaart van een stad krijgt, waarop steeds meer huisjes verschijnen, waaruit autootjes komen die naar garages moeten rijden. Steeds meer, dus het verkeer loopt vast en dat moet jij in banen leiden. Dat begint altijd ontspannend en uiteindelijk wordt het toch een beetje stressvol. Dat heb je niet met de nieuwe Creative Mode. Daarin kun je in alle rust je eigen stad volledig vormgeven. Te spelen op Nintendo Switch, Steam en Apple Arcade. Seroe: Suits LA op SkyShowTime. De opvolger van Suits, even vermakelijk maar helaas wel al na 1 seizoen geannuleerd. Hopelijk bedenkt de zender zich alsnog…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tu and Lei unpack a pivotal week in global EVs — where Germany's giants stumble and China keeps charging ahead.

Spike and the crew prepare for the Audrain Concours & Motor Week while discussing everything from Cameron's Ineos Grenadier adventure to Zuckerman's rare Italian-market 1990 BMW E30 320is. The guys also review the 1982 Range Rover Classic and declare the new Cadillac Optiq better than a Tesla Model Y. ______________________________________________ BUY SCR MERCH! https://spikescarradio.com JOIN THE SCR PATREON! https://www.patreon.com/spikescarradio

Government grants and incentives have widened adoption, and zero-emission vehicles now account for over 22% of new cars registered in 2025, while diesel registrations plummeted to historic lows. TESLA TEASES OCTOBER 7 MODEL Y REVEAL Tesla released a teaser for an October 7 Model Y reveal, sparking speculation over a more affordable variant intended to boost sales momentum and address product aging. The event is pivotal as Tesla faces pressure from competition and expiring federal incentives; analysts expect production ramp-up of the lower-cost Model Y in Q4. TESLA GERMANY SEPTEMBER SALES AND BYD SURGE In Germany, BEV registrations rose 31.9% year-over-year, but Tesla's numbers fell 9.4% in September and halved since January, while Chinese rival BYD saw registrations soar beyond twenty-fold for the month. The rise of competitors and market diversification are accelerating electrification, prompting legacy automakers to refresh offerings despite Tesla's updated Model Y achieving stronger results in other parts of Europe. EUROPE EV SALES RISE IN AUGUST European plug-in vehicle sales climbed 36% year-over-year in August to about 246,000 units, outpacing overall market growth and raising BEV share to 21%. Popular models like Tesla's Model Y, Skoda Elroq, and Model 3 contributed to momentum, reinforcing investment in charging infrastructure and fleet electrification. FRANCE SEPTEMBER EV MARKET UPDATE France saw 140,090 total registrations in September with plug-in vehicles making up 29% of sales, as BEVs and PHEVs increased their market share compared to last year. The Tesla Model Y led the month's results with its best French volume in two years, pointing to strengthening Q3 demand for electrification despite a slight year-to-date shortfall. AUDI US EV SALES SURGE Q3 2025 Audi's U.S. EV sales leaped 232% to 18,071 units in Q3 2025, with electrics making up 39% of the brand's quarterly volume as the Q6 e-tron outsold its ICE sibling Q5. The shift signals consumer preference for electric variants, but ongoing growth depends on scaled production, dealer readiness, and effective ownership economics. CADILLAC Q3 EV SALES SURGE Cadillac delivered 18,383 EVs in Q3—a record since 2013—boosted by expiring tax credits, with electric models chosen by 40% of buyers in the period. Q3 EV deliveries rose 154% year-over-year, though upcoming quarters will test Cadillac's ability to sustain the momentum. BMW AND STELLANTIS MATCH FEDERAL EV CREDIT BMW and Stellantis are offsetting the loss of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit by applying equivalent discounts to eligible electric and plug‑in hybrid models. The offers, restricted to dealer inventory and requiring delivery by early November, are intended to prevent immediate price hikes and maintain sales amidst changing incentives. DACIA SPRING UPGRADED WITH MORE POWER AND LFP Dacia's upgraded Spring city car features new, more powerful motors and a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that improves cost and safety while maintaining a WLTP range of 140 miles. The revised models, now quicker and more efficient, are priced from £15,000 to £17,000 and arrive early next year. SCANIA HIGH-FLOOR ELECTRIC COACH PLATFORM Scania has launched a high-floor battery-electric coach platform with up to 600 km range, supporting multiple body types and maintaining luggage space comparable to conventional coaches. The new platform comes with integrated smart charging services and aims to advance commercial vehicle electrification across Europe. KIA PV5: ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMERCIAL VAN Kia's new PV5 electric van, built on a dedicated E-GMP.S platform, offers multiple body styles, battery options up to 258 miles, and fast DC charging of up to 150 kW. Integrated fleet management and warranty features support commercial use, with mass production underway in Korea. ILLINOIS EV FAST CHARGING: $15 FLAT Universal EV Chargers now provide flat-rate, $15-per-session DC fast charging across Illinois, eliminating time-based pricing and surprise surcharges. Drivers use CCS or NACS connectors, scan to start, and benefit from predictable costs with a growing statewide coverage. RIVIAN ADDS LIDAR TO AUTONOMY PLATFORM Rivian will incorporate LiDAR sensors into its next-generation vehicles to bolster their autonomy platform, reflecting industry trends as costs for the technology decrease. Recent hires and tech stack updates align with CEO RJ Scaringe's statements about Rivian's long-term focus on advanced driver-assistance systems.

On today's budget-conscious episode of  Quick Charge, we're building up to the reveal of a new, more affordable Tesla Model Y tomorrow that will almost definitely not be a cheap pile of misaligned plastic body parts with inconsistent panel gaps that's utterly incapable of turning the tide on Tesla's global decline. Plus, we've got news that Tesla is in hot water with California over its alleged mishandling of its insurance business, revisit the lies told about Cybertrucks drag racing Teslas, and look at the incredible 110% increase in EV sales over at GM that's driving Cadillac's renaissance. Today's episode is brought to you by Climate XChange, a nonpartisan nonprofit working to help states pass effective, equitable climate policies. The nonprofit just kicked off its 10th annual EV raffle, where participants have multiple opportunities to win their dream model. Visit the site at CarbonRaffle.org/Electrek to learn more.

Tesla (TSLA) sold off on Tuesday's announcement that the company will release lower-cost Model Y and Model 3 vehicles. Noah Hamman says the lower cost, paired with expected upcharges for some features the vehicles will use, give Tesla a new edge against EV competitors. Ben Rose believes the company hit the "sweet spot" for price but adds that there were no real surprises to energize investors.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

This week, we share our first impressions of the updated 2026 Tesla Model Y. A smoother ride, upgraded interior, and quieter cabin are just some of the improvements in this refreshed all-electric SUV—but it's not without quirks. We break down its performance on our test track, the challenges with Tesla's delivery process, and our concerns about the vehicle's controls and so-called “Full Self-Driving” system. We also answer your questions about roomy, comfortable gas or hybrid alternatives with modern safety features, and explain how Consumer Reports buys and tests vehicles—including whether we pay MSRP.     More info on the 2026 Tesla Model Y here: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tesla/model-y/2026/overview/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT   Join CR at https://CR.org/joinviaYT to access our comprehensive ratings for items you use every day.
