Podcasts about Tesla Semi

In this episode, we kick things off by examining Tesla's ambitious push into the European freight market as the electric vehicle giant ⁠targets late-2027 customer deliveries for the Semi⁠ after demonstrations begin in the first half of that year. The first European trucks will roll off the Reno, Nevada production line, which is designed for fifty thousand units annually, and will feature a 342-mile usable range with the ability to recover more than sixty percent of range in just thirty minutes using Tesla's new Megacharger network of over one hundred stalls across Europe. Shifting gears to the rails, we examine how Norfolk Southern is positioning its proposed combination with Union Pacific as a transformative step for intermodal freight. According to the railroad's leadership, ⁠the proposed mega-merger is central to removing structural friction from the freight network⁠ by creating single-line service for roughly ten thousand existing lanes and eliminating approximately 2,400 railcar handlings and 60,000 car-miles per day. With Norfolk Southern's intermodal volume already up nearly fourteen percent year-over-year, the railroad argues that removing friction rather than simply undercutting truck prices is the key to capturing highway freight. Finally, we cover a critical new resource for freight brokers navigating heightened liability in the wake of a recent Supreme Court ruling. Cambridge Mobile Telematics has ⁠officially launched Freight Safety Intelligence, a platform that analyzes carrier driving behavior⁠ from the previous ninety days and generates real-time carrier-level safety scores. The platform leverages data from carriers' existing telematics systems without requiring new hardware, and it arrives at a crucial moment as brokers face increased exposure to negligent-selection claims following the Supreme Court's ruling in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II. ⁠Follow the FreightWaves Today Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Présenté pour la première fois en Europe lors du salon IAA Transportation de Hanovre, le Tesla Semi prépare son arrivée sur le continent pour 2027. Autonomie, recharge mégawatt, concurrence européenne et offensive chinoise: coulisses et essai à bord du poids lourd électrique d'Elon Musk avec Dan Priestley, directeur du programme Semi chez Tesla. #elonmusk #tesla #teslasemi #teslasemitruck #IAAhanovre

Autonomous trucking is moving from the drawing board to real-world operations — and the implications for the freight industry could be enormous. In this special edition of FreightWaves Today, we take an in-depth look at the future of automation with leaders across autonomous trucking, freight marketplaces, artificial intelligence and autonomous delivery. The episode explores how purpose-built autonomous vehicles could reshape the way freight moves, including the potential decline of traditional drop-trailer models and the rise of on-demand, dock-to-dock transportation. Industry leaders also discuss whether autonomous trucking will accelerate consolidation among carriers and brokers, and which companies could be best positioned for the transition. We also examine the business of autonomous transportation with Einride CEO Roozbeh Charafeddine, including the company's growth, its work with major customers such as Amazon, its 500-truck Tesla Semi commitment and its strategy for gradually introducing autonomous and electric vehicles into freight networks. Charafeddine also discusses Einride's defense business and how autonomous technology can remove people from dangerous transportation environments. uShip CEO Shawn Wu talks about the role of marketplaces in a changing freight environment, including the challenges of moving non-standardized and oversized freight, marketplace trust and safety, cargo security, household moves and the current market for large and bulky shipments. The conversation then expands beyond trucking to autonomous delivery. AV Ride discusses its autonomous passenger vehicles and delivery robots, the role of platforms such as Uber and Grubhub, and the challenges of bringing autonomous delivery from dense urban areas and college campuses into suburban markets. We also examine how artificial intelligence could transform global trade, with a focus on the data and operational knowledge needed to make AI agents useful in real-world supply chain operations. From autonomous trucks and electric fleets to AI, delivery robots and the potential consolidation of the freight industry, this special edition looks at the technologies and business models that could define the next decade of transportation.

Kezdjük azzal, ami itthon tényleg számít: a 4iG és a SpaceX aláírta a megállapodást, ami elhozza a Starlink Mobile-t Magyarországra. Nem parabolaantennával, hanem a zsebedben lévő sima LTE-s telefonnal – ott is, ahol egyetlen mobilcella sincs. Nem a hálózat lecserélése a cél, hanem a fehér foltok és a katasztrófahelyzetek lefedése. Dátumot és árat még nem mondtak, de a történet innentől nem sci-fi. Onnan pedig még feljebb megyünk: kínai kutatók kétirányú lézerkapcsolatot építettek a Föld és a Hold közé, 400 ezer kilométeren át, olyan gyenge jellel, hogy a teleszkóp néhány fotont lát egyszerre. És ha ez nem lenne elég nagyszabású: a SpaceX 100 milliárd dollárból építene Louisianában egy űrrepülőteret, ahonnan Musk szerint akár napi harminc Starship is indulhatna.A középső blokk a valóság. A Tesla európai számai szerint az FSD 4,1-szer ritkábban ütközik – de pontosan megnézzük, mihez képest, mert ez nem ugyanaz, mint amit a címekben olvasol. Jön az európai Tesla Semi, középre ültetett sofőrrel. Aztán a hét legtanulságosabb sztorija: a Meta tényleg megpróbált embereket AI-jal kiváltani, és a belső számok kegyetlenek – 220 százalékkal több kódmódosítás, de csak 36 százalékkal több tényleges funkció, közben 40 százalékkal több incidens. Zuckerberg leállította a következő leépítési hullámot. Ebből érdemes tanulni.A hardveres félidőben megnézzük, miért érkeznek Wi-Fi 8-as routerek két évvel a szabvány véglegesítése előtt, hogyan fér 512 terabájt egyetlen SSD-re, miért mondja a Google, hogy vége a RAM-pazarlás korszakának Androidon, és hogyan omlasztott össze játékokat egy húszéves eredetű, RGB-programokkal települő driver. Plusz a kedvencünk: valaki Claude-dal írt macOS-drivert egy HP nyomtatóhoz, amit a gyártó rég leírt. Zárásként pedig a nagy kérdés a GTA VI apropóján: valójában mennyibe kerül ma egy videojáték?

FreightWaves Today takes a look back at some of the biggest conversations shaping freight and transportation in this special edition featuring a collection of standout interviews from the summer. Malcolm Harris and the FreightWaves team dig into the real-world performance of the Tesla Semi with Inter-coastal Trucking's Bob Lewis, including driver feedback, range, charging infrastructure, maintenance savings and where electric trucks make the most sense in a fleet. The show also explores the state of the rail freight market with Telegraph's David Correll, including rail volume forecasts, coal exports, tank car availability, AI data center construction and the growing gap between truck and intermodal pricing. Freight market strategy takes center stage with RXO Chief Strategy Officer Jared Weisfeld, who discusses the ongoing capacity correction, tightening freight markets, shipper concerns, routing guide failures, spot versus contract rates and why he believes the industry could be entering a multi-year freight recovery. Mitsubishi HC Capital America's Kirk Mann joins the conversation to examine the equipment financing market, the impact of the freight recession on small carriers, truck values, lending conditions and what fleets are doing as the market begins to recover. Finally, Ken Adamo of EASE Logistics weighs in on current freight volumes, seasonality, intermodal growth, contract repricing and the question of whether new capacity is actually entering the trucking market.

This week, we start with Lucid's recall of more than 27,000 Air sedans over a low-voltage exterior lighting issue and the software update that addresses the potential fire risk, along with a broader look at how often “park outside” warnings involve gas-powered vehicles. Hyundai is moving further into extended-range EVs, with plans that include the Santa Fe and Genesis models offering more than 600 miles of combined electric and gas range. We also look at Schneider Electric's approach to home EV charging, which uses dynamic load management as a possible alternative to an expensive electrical panel upgrade. Tesla news includes the end of its in-house vehicle wrap program, the discontinuation of Solar Roof, FSD v14 Lite development for Australia and New Zealand, and a Model 3 range improvement in Europe that comes from new wheels and tires. Tesla Semi is headed toward Europe while the new Nevada factory prepares for an upcoming event, and Cybertruck prices are going up another $5,000. We wrap up with possible additions to Tesla Theater's streaming options and a recall affecting nearly 3 million Teslas in China over emergency door-release concerns.

Priserne på brugte elbiler har været på vej op siden marts. Nye tal rejser nu tvivl om, hvor længe det fortsætter. Efter en lang periode med fald begyndte priserne på brugte elbiler igen at stige i marts. Stigningerne gælder ikke kun enkelte dyre eller sjældne biler. Populære modeller som Polestar 2, Cupra Born og VW ID.3 er også blevet dyrere. Det satte gang i spekulationerne om en decideret prisboble. Nu kommer der flere biler til salg, samtidig med at færre købere slår til. Er prisboblen aflyst, eller er der blot tale om en pause? Det spørgsmål stiller Christian Schacht til Bilbasens markedsanalytiker Jan Lang i denne uges Bilradio. Ugens øvrige emner: Toyota bZ4X Touring og Kia EV2 er med i Siden sidst. Ferrari Luce blev hånet for sit design, men Ferrari nåede salgsmålet på under to måneder. Tesla Semi kommer til Europa med cirka 550 km rækkevidde. Audis femcylindrede motor kan måske overleve kravene i Euro 7. Næste Audi A3 kan blive elektrisk, mens A4 vender tilbage som elbil. MG sender topmodellerne IM5 og IM6 til Danmark. Genesis kommer efter planen til Danmark i 2027. Den næste Hyundai Tucson vokser og får et mere kantet design. I Testgaragen kører Christian Schacht Porsche Cayenne Electric.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining a strategic acquisition that signals a massive shift in how financial services companies are approaching the independent carrier market. Freight factoring firm BasicBlock has officially acquired TrueNorth, an AI dispatcher and free loadboard platform, dramatically expanding BasicBlock's service offerings beyond traditional financing. By integrating TrueNorth's centralized invoice tracking, fuel, insurance, compliance and load-searching tools, BasicBlock gains critical data and operational capabilities to support its broader vision of building a comprehensive financial ecosystem around trucking customers. Next, we discuss one of the largest nuclear verdicts in trucking history and the massive implications for the brokerage sector. A Dallas jury delivered a verdict of approximately six hundred four million dollars in a case stemming from a fatal March 2021 crash that killed three people, with defendants including logistics giant C.H. Robinson and carrier Lupus Superior. Legal sources say a court rejecting the FMCSA satisfactory rating as a valid defense is a major concern for the brokerage industry in the post-Montgomery legal landscape, and C.H. Robinson plans to appeal. Finally, we explore how Tesla is ramping up commercial vehicle production as part of what executives are calling the company's largest investment cycle ever. Austin-based Tesla reported second-quarter revenue of twenty-eight point two four billion dollars, up twenty-six percent year over year, while highlighting major progress on launching production of the Tesla Semi Class 8 electric truck at its Nevada manufacturing facility. The Nevada Tesla Semi factory remains on schedule, with full production expected to begin later this year as capital expenditures more than doubled to support the aggressive expansion.

The timing points to 2029-2030, matching the expiry of VW's production deal with Ford, and talks with Ford about the next generation's underpinnings are still ongoing.MG GO! PREVIEWS SMALL EV FOR 2027MG has unveiled the GO! concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a roughly four-metre B-segment electric hatchback designed at SAIC's U.K. studio that borrows MGB GT grille lines and vertical taillamp elements, with production due in 2027 and possibly badged MG 2. MG admits the show car is a "dressed up" version that will lose its bulging fenders, oversized wheels, tow hooks and diffuser, and while technical details are unconfirmed, industry coverage points to MG's front-drive E3/Urban architecture with modest LFP batteries to rival the Renault 5 E-Tech and Mini Cooper Electric.TESLA OPENS FIRST PUBLIC SEMI MEGACHARGERTesla has opened its first public Megacharger station for Semi fleets in Bloomington, California, about an hour east of Los Angeles, with six stalls each capable of up to 1.2 MW and access for all Tesla Semi commercial fleet customers. The launch was confirmed by Tesla Charging on X and marked with a ribbon-cutting attended by trucking, fleet and charging figures, with the San Bernardino County site chosen for its position on the freight corridor linking the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to Southern California's warehouse network.USED EVS OUTPACE PETROL CARS IN BRITAINSteep fuel prices have driven a surge in British used-EV demand, with Autotrader's July fastest-selling ranking filled entirely by electrified models for the first time — eight of them fully electric, double last year's tally — led by the MG ZS at 13 days against a 24-day average for used EVs and 30 days across all fuel types. Average used-EV prices rose 1.6% year-on-year to £24,662 ($33,225), the first increase since December 2022, and Autotrader's Marc Palmer says that unlike past Middle East-driven spikes tied to events such as the US-Israeli war on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz closure, this demand has been sustained while the ten slowest sellers were all petrol or diesel.LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS LEAD GERMAN EV SUBSIDY APPROVALSHandelsblatt reports that 48% of approvals under Germany's new EV subsidy scheme have gone to households with taxable income up to €45,000 ($51,300), according to data from a parliamentary inquiry by Left Party lawmaker Jorrit Bosch, with lower-income buyers eligible for up to €6,000 ($6,840) on new BEVs, range-extenders and select plug-in hybrids depending on vehicle type, income and family size. The programme launched in January to replace the flat-rate scheme scrapped abruptly in late 2023, and environment ministry figures show foreign manufacturers took most of the support, with only two of the 14 most-subsidised brands being German as Germany's EV fleet passed 2.2 million by early April 2026.SUBARU CUTS 2027 SOLTERRA PRICE IN CANADASubaru Canada has cut the 2027 Solterra's starting MSRP to $47,995, $4,500 below the 2026 model and just under the country's $50,000 EVAP threshold, which restores its eligibility for the federal rebate worth up to $5,000. Subaru quotes an effective starting figure of $46,727 with delivery, dealer fees and the rebate included, against $55,285 for the current 2026 car, with the updated model due at Canadian dealerships later this year.CANADA CLEARS 6,531 CHINA-MADE EV IMPORTSCanada had imported 6,531 China-made EVs by July 14, leaving roughly 75% of the 24,500-vehicle first-half quota unused, with arrivals starting in May and building through June and July but falling well short of the allowance. Ottawa will keep the current quota open through August before adding a further 24,500 vehicles plus any unused first-half volume for September through February 2027; Global Affairs Canada does not break the figures down by brand, but Shanghai-built Tesla Model 3s are presumed to dominate, Lotus has accounted for nearly two dozen and Polestar is expected to resume Polestar 2 imports in August.DONGFENG MOVES INTO CANADIAN EV MARKETDongfeng plans to enter Canada's EV market under the low-tariff quota created by Mark Carney's deal with China earlier this year, showing the Vigo and Nammi Box 01 to buyers at an Old Port event in Montreal this week while it completes regulatory certification. North World Industry will handle distribution, and the company is starting with consumer awareness before sales, aiming to launch its first two models next year.KIA PITCHES SMALL EV VAN FOR CANADIAN FLEETSKia Canada has pitched the PV5 as a compact electric cargo van for small businesses and urban fleets, offering about 160 cubic feet of cargo volume and targeting tradespeople, last-mile delivery firms and telecom operators that do not need a full-size vehicle. The real test may be size rather than range or price, given GM pulled its Ontario-built BrightDrop vans — offering 400 or 600 cubic feet — from the market last fall after weak sales, while Kia calls the smaller PV5 an answer to an "unmet need".GEELY SETS E2 PRICE BELOW €20,000 IN ITALYGeely will launch the E2 small electric hatchback in Italy in October at a promotional €19,900, undercutting the Citroen e-C3 at €20,490 and sitting just above the BYD Dolphin Surf at €19,790; the same car is sold as the EX2 in the U.K. and the Xingyuan in China, where it was last year's best-selling model with 160,800 wholesale deliveries in the first five months of this year. In Europe's small-EV class the Renault 5 E-Tech leads with 36,575 sales, up 35%, ahead of the e-C3 on 17,859 (down 11%), the Dolphin Surf on 15,072 and the Peugeot e-208 on 10,546, up 23%.HOYMILES LAUNCHES UL 3700 BALCONY SOLAR INVERTERHoymiles has launched the HiFlow Pro, which it says is the first US microinverter certified under UL 3700, the new safety standard for plug-in balcony solar, a model already popular in Europe — especially Germany — that lets homeowners and renters run portable panels through a standard outlet instead of a rooftop install. Eight states had signed plug-in solar bills into law as of July 2026 — Utah, Maine, Virginia, Maryland, Colorado, Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire — with New York's awaiting the governor's signature as of July 16 and nearly 30 states having introduced legislation, while safeguards must prevent the reversed power flow from feeding the grid during outages; a single 360W unit produces up to 721.08 kWh a year and up to four can run in parallel across separate outlets.RUSSIAN FUEL SHORTAGES PUSH DRIVERS TO EVSUkrainian strikes on energy targets have tightened Russian fuel supplies, bringing hours-long queues and rising gasoline and diesel prices that are pushing some motorists towards electric cars, including engineer Oksana Yasinskaya, 36, who told Automotive News the queues settled her decision to buy an EV and that she values not wasting hours on what she called a humiliating wait, with some drivers queuing late at night. Autostat says EV and plug-in hybrid sales accelerated in June as shortages worsened and expects the tiny market to grow if the crisis drags on, though it still leans on used cars rather than fresh showroom demand.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining the powerful momentum shift toward the rails that's creating massive growth opportunities for the nation's largest intermodal player. J.B. Hunt Transport Services just reported a blockbuster second quarter, with intermodal volumes jumping ten percent year-over-year and significantly outpacing the broader market. Eastern intermodal volumes surged sixteen percent year-over-year, driven by conversion activity at levels the company has not seen in more than a decade, while revenue of three point five billion dollars crushed analyst expectations. Next, we explore a high-stakes legal battle in federal court where truck manufacturer Navistar defeated a sixteen point five million dollar lawsuit over delayed deliveries during the pandemic-era supply crunch. A Michigan jury sided with Navistar on Monday, rejecting breach of contract and fraud claims brought by GLS LeasCo and Central Transport, and concluding the company was not liable for damages related to the delayed delivery of one thousand one hundred International tractors ordered in twenty twenty-two. Finally, we head to the Midwest where a major Wisconsin carrier is partnering with Tesla to evaluate the electric Semi in dedicated Chicago operations. De Pere-based Paper Transport Inc., which has logged over eighty-seven million miles using compressed and renewable natural gas, is assessing the battery-electric truck in an environment where predictable routes and consistent mileage provide ideal conditions for real-world testing as Tesla ramps toward volume production this year.

Waymo has a rough July 4th in San Francisco: robotaxis roll over live fireworks, one catches fire, and a traffic jam forms with a long line of stalled vehicles; in another case, two 15-year-olds ride one while allegedly drinking and shooting projectiles. A Tesla Semi crash kills two people, raising questions about automatic emergency braking and driver monitoring, while regulators still lack a finalized heavy-truck AEB standard. A deep dive celebrates the right-edge white line's safety history, then critiques “independent” AV safety reviews and rosy government messaging. A model argues broad deployment of proven safety tech (AEB, speed assistance, alcohol detection) beats AV hype. Recalls cover Ford pedestrian sounds, Mach‑E differential failure, Mustang wiper glitches, and a GM third-row power-fold seat hazard.Support Auto Safetyhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/terrifying-moment-waymo-drives-exploding-205608345.htmlhttps://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/waymo-firework-fire-san-francisco-22333244.phphttps://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/dozens-waymos-clog-presidio-july-142239118.htmlhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/bay-area-teen-waymo-riders-nabbed-for-allegedly-shooting-projectiles-from-robotaxi/ar-AA27pze0More links on the site.

On our first-ever numberless HEP-isode, the boys head to opposite coasts to hit bothe the AISTech show in PA and the ACT Expo in Las Vegas, spend some time in an all-new VNL sleeper cab with Volvo Vice President Jared Ruiz, and take a deep dive into what it takes to make electric trucks work in the real world. All this PLUS life at 160 mph with the good people from Chase and Sanborn.

Electric logistics firm Zeem Solutions celebrated some good reliability news at ACT Expo last week, after its commercial charging depot at LAX hit a huge milestone, surpassing 350,000 successful charging sessions as one of the highest-throughput charging facilities in the US. "What the 350,000-session milestone really measures is reliability at scale," says Rick Eckert, Vice President of Operations at Zeem Solutions. "Every one of those sessions represents a fleet vehicle that needed to get back on the road on time. The fact that we have been able to deliver that consistently, across an increasingly diverse set of vehicles and duty cycles, is what gives our customers the confidence to expand their electric fleets and gives us the confidence to invest in the next generation of depots." Zeem's message has consistently been that that reliability isn't just about making sure EV chargers work when you plug your car into them (and, for the record, Zeem's do, with the first 4 months of 2026 delivering more than 75,000 charging sessions and dispensing a whopping 3.2 million kWhs of electricity). To Zeem, reliability includes knowing the industries your customers work in and understanding what your partners need. To that end, Zeem is bringing an unprecedented level of operational expertise, with contracted and pre-scheduled charging sessions allowing Zeem to maintain a 98% charger uptime to accommodate a mix of light-duty, medium-duty, and class 8 vehicles on one site, while also providing 24/7/365 valets to rotate out charged units, perform visual inspections on fleet vehicles, and provide regular maintenance and as-needed repairs. Parking, security, and cleaning services are also included. "You learn a tremendous amount from 350,000 commercial charging sessions, and those lessons have shaped Zeem 2.0 as we bring our proven model directly to customer fleet sites," explains Paul Gioupis, Founder and CEO of Zeem Solutions. "Five years of operating commercial EV charging at scale has taught us what drives uptime, where execution matters most, and why reliability is non-negotiable. The future of transportation depends on infrastructure that performs every day in real-world fleet operations, and Zeem is delivering that today at scale." All of this charging has also shown a huge environmental impact, with the 350,000 EV charging session milestone avoiding an estimated 5.6 million kg of CO2 emissions – equivalent to burning 634,831 gallons of gasoline or powering more than 1,100 average US homes for a full year. Zeem plans to open charging depots to serve the SeaTac and Long Beach commercial fleet markets next, and is actively developing additional facilities nationwide to meet the needs of the growing electric vehicle fleet. We had a chance to sit down with Paul at last week's ACT Expo in Las Vegas, where we talked charging, maintenance, incentives, Tesla Semi, and a whole lot more as Zeem's Eastward expansion rolls on. Check it out, at top, then let us know what you think of Paul's plans in the comments. Or, if you prefer listening to interviews, check out the audio-only version, below. SOURCE | IMAGES: Zeem.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining a major compliance crackdown that has shaken up the electronic logging device market. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration revealed that a staggering 67 devices have been revoked since January 2025, with two more manufacturers just added to the list for failing to meet minimum technical requirements. Carriers currently using these revoked devices face a tight deadline to switch to compliant ELDs or risk being placed out of service after the sixty-day grace period expires on July 7, 2026. Next, we explore the electric vehicle sector where Tesla's long-awaited Semi has just landed a blockbuster deployment order. Listen in to learn how WattEV ordered 370 Tesla Semi trucks in what will become California's largest single electric truck deployment, with more than 300 units operating under a joint program with the Port of Oakland. To support this massive fleet, WattEV plans to open truck-charging stations equipped with Tesla's Megawatt Charging System chargers that can add 300 miles of range in about thirty minutes. Finally, we unpack the Southeast's most ambitious infrastructure project as Georgia Ports outlined a nearly $5 billion self-financed investment plan to add five new big ship berths and support a projected 54 percent growth in container throughput. Researchers at Georgia Tech found that routing cargo through Savannah saves shippers more than $1,000 per container when delivering to key inland markets compared to West Coast gateways, cementing the port's dominance as the Southeast's logistics gateway of choice.

Even though autonomous passenger vehicles have entered the mainstream in cities across the country, autonomous trucks still lag behind. But Humble Robotics thinks it has cracked the code with a new design that completely does away with the tractor-trailer model we see on the highway every day. In this episode, Shayle speaks to Eyal Cohen, founder and CEO of Humble. The company built its electric trucks from the ground up. Fully cabless, they combine the tractor and trailer into a single platform designed to optimize energy efficiency, unit economics, and roadway safety. Shayle and Eyal explore topics including: The differences between autonomous passenger and freight vehicles The challenge of transporting heavy payloads at high speeds Why Humble has shifted away from LiDar in favor of a camera-centric approach offered by visual language models (VLMs) The unit economics of electric and autonomous freight Why Humble is embracing a "hub-to-hub" model for its trucks The evolving regulatory landscape for autonomous trucking Resources Catalyst: Volts crossover: Six big energy questions Latitude Media: Can the Tesla Semi finalize decarbonize trucking?

Of 11,103 new cars registered, 10,952 were fully electric, with diesel managing just 87 units and petrol a mere 31 units — making combustion-engine sales little more than a rounding error.TESLA CUTS MODEL 3 PRICES IN CANADATesla has slashed prices across its Canadian Model 3 line-up, introducing a new entry Premium RWD trim starting at C$39,490 — about 31% cheaper than the equivalent US price — after shifting production from its Fremont plant to its Shanghai factory to take advantage of Canada's new 6.1% Chinese-EV import tariff. The line-up now has just two trims after removing the Long Range mid-range, though Shanghai-built cars do not qualify for Canada's federal EVAP rebate of up to C$5,000.FACTORIAL BETS SOLID-STATE CAN BREAK CHINA'S LEADFactorial Energy, a Massachusetts-based startup backed by Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and Hyundai/Kia, argues that solid-state batteries — which charge from 15% to 90% in 18 minutes and offer 20–50% more range than lithium-ion — are the West's best chance to leapfrog Chinese rivals rather than imitate them. The company plans to go public on Nasdaq in mid-2026 via a SPAC merger, and a Mercedes-Benz EQS prototype fitted with its cells drove 1,205 km non-stop in August 2025.IONIQ 5 SALES HOLD UP AFTER US TAX CREDIT LOSSHyundai's IONIQ 5 held fifth place among US EV sellers in 2025 despite losing the federal EV tax credit, while rivals like the Ford Mustang Mach-E saw sales collapse 60% year-on-year in Q1 2026. Domestic production at Hyundai Metaplant America in Savannah, Georgia was credited as a key factor in shielding the IONIQ 5 from the impact of Trump administration trade policy changes.VOLKSWAGEN RAISES RIVIAN STAKE TO 15.9%Volkswagen has lifted its stake in Rivian to 15.9% after completing a further $1 billion investment tranche, triggered by the RV Tech joint venture clearing its winter testing milestones, bringing its total investment to $3 billion of a committed $5.8 billion. Volkswagen gains access to Rivian's software stack and zonal architecture, while Rivian retains full ownership of its motors, batteries, chassis, and autonomy framework.VW TESTS 'GAMECHANGER' AT WOLFSBURGVolkswagen has launched a pilot production process codenamed Gamechanger at its Wolfsburg headquarters, aimed at cutting costs and enabling profitable EV manufacturing in Germany through techniques expected to include megacasting and parallel modular assembly streams. The plant is expected to eventually produce an electric Golf and an SUV counterpart on the next-generation SSP platform, potentially under the names ID. Golf and ID. Roc.TESLA LAUNCHES BASECHARGER FOR SEMI DEPOTSTesla has unveiled the Basecharger, a depot-focused DC fast charger for the Tesla Semi that tops out at 125 kW and can charge a truck from low to 60% in around four hours, using a 6-metre cable to accommodate yard layouts. The unit starts at $20,000, supports the open MCS (Megawatt Charging System) standard, and up to three units can share a single breaker — potentially serving future MCS-compatible trucks from Daimler, Volvo, and Scania.MFG EV POWER ADDS PLUG&CHARGEMotor Fuel Group has integrated its MFG EV Power network of around 2,000 rapid and ultra-rapid UK charging points with Hubject's Plug&Charge infrastructure, going live on 1 May 2026 after over a year of technical development. Compatible EVs can now begin charging automatically the moment they plug in, eliminating the need for RFID cards or apps.ALLEGO APP ADDS EUROPE-WIDE CHARGING ROAMINGAllego has transformed its app into a pan-European roaming platform, giving drivers access to roughly one million charging points from competing networks under a single account with no additional roaming fees. The app also includes a Smart Route Planner to help EV drivers plan charging stops across longer cross-border journeys.NEW AI VOICE ASSISTANTS FOR RIVIAN, POLESTAR AND VOLVO EVSRivian's AI voice assistant — first unveiled at its December 2025 Autonomy & AI Day — is now expected to reach customers in the coming weeks after slipping roughly four months behind its original early-2026 target, and will roll out to both R1 and R2 vehicles. Separately, Google has begun rolling out Gemini to Polestar and Volvo cars running Android Automotive OS, enabling conversational AI with multi-turn dialogue, trip planning, and a continuous hands-free mode called Gemini Live — with Volvo saying models dating back to 2020 are eligible for the upgrade.

Episode 2 of the weekly HyperChange podcast. This week we discuss how XMoney is poised to compete with Robinhood and Coinbase and how this is a great example of how fast things are moving in the era of HyperChange. Companies are getting disrupted in a flash. Stocks like Figma and Adobe are getting crushed as Claude rolls out Design. Does assuming companies will be around in a decade make sense anymore? Also I discuss Tesla's valuation and we do an earnings preview covering everything from Robotaxi to the financials and Tesla Semi.

The US Postal Service is proposing a historic 8% fuel surcharge on parcel products to combat rising transportation costs fueled by the war in Iran. This unprecedented move aims to help the agency manage skyrocketing gasoline and diesel prices while transitioning to a sustainable long-term pricing model. In the logistics sector, intense union pressure has forced UPS to walk back a massive $150,000 driver buyout program across 13 states. The Teamsters union successfully argued that these lucrative separation agreements bypassed regional contracts, stalling the company's efforts to eliminate 30,000 jobs amid falling parcel volumes. Finally, a new real-world freight study by the North American Council for Freight Efficiency is challenging conventional wisdom regarding commercial powertrains. While traditional diesel trucks shattered expectations by hitting 11.5 miles per gallon, electric vehicles like the Tesla Semi proved their long-term viability by completing a 460-mile trip on a single charge.
