With the idiot tariff war, we will have to watch from afar as better EVs are kept from America due to the ignorant leardership.

Cool to learn something every day, did not know that the BMW motorcycle boxer engine was so dependable. Great to hear!

@ccap41 Finally got a response from their press group. Hey David, Happy to see you're helping to share our progress! So sorry this response is coming after such a long delay, I unfortunately missed this email. We are currently aiming to deliver our first production vehicles in late 2025. A more detailed production schedule will be released as we get a better production of production capacity over the next few months. The MT1 has been designed from the ground up with serviceability in mind. Most of the parts on the MT1 are pulled directly from Subaru and other popular auto manufacturers. We plan on partnering with and providing resources to third party service vendors to make service extremely accessible around the world. We don't intend to limit service to proprietary options or make our trucks difficult to service by designing numerous proprietary parts. We have actually had people as tall as 6'10" sit comfortably in the driver seat of the MT1! The glass roof and minimized seat tracks allow us to fit a lot more than one might expect in such a compact space. Thank you Shaan

I have to agree with this early investor and current stockholder that feels Tesla is doomed unless Musk goes! They need a new face of Tesla and one that is focused on Tesla the auto company and not distracted by robots, AI and other stuff that TESLA is NOT. Key Tesla investor makes blunt prediction for the company's future

This should be interesting if it is accurate on the new generation of Cadillac Sedans being EVs. Cadillac's Electric CT4, CT5 Replacement: Everything We Know @Robert Hall You just might have a new choice in the near future.

If Chinese UK MG ever gets their EVs here, GAME OVER for Tesla. After reading this story and looking at what MG is doing in Europe and the Asian rim, I can see these under $35,000 EVs making a big hit here. I drove this Chinese EV and it's just another example of the trouble Tesla is in This makes me even feel stronger that if Kia and GM get their $25K to $35K EVs going here, that masses will buy them.

Been thinking on this and I honestly have to say that I think the Tariffs are going to do what 47 is not wanting to have happen. The DEATH of ICE!!! First is IRA has been a massive hit in regard to investing in battery plants and EV production plants. Second is ICE autos are far more complex than EVs with the average ICE having between 20,000 to 30,000 parts and most of the small stuff is imported in. Third EVs are far simpler to produce here in America with the average EV having between 15,000 to 20,000 components and the motor, battery and controler plant as well as wiring is already built here. As the RAW Material for Lithium and other battery components builds up in North America, I see no reason to go backwards for the Boomers with more ICE, but move forward with Hybrids for the Boomers and pure EVs for those that have common sense on moving forward into the future. Tariffs is death to ICE more than EVs as it also brings parity in price to EVs due to the increase in prices for ICE built outside the U.S. People will see this now that various auto companies have stated like VW/Audi/Porsche will have a Tariff line on the window invoice showing how much extra money will be paid to the U.S. government. Taxation at it's biggest point ever since 1930. Pathetic that they kept prices the same and shrunkflation has happened in the portion size. Pretty much you have to order double to get what they used to serve.

This looks so freakin great.

Based on the pictures, it would appear what went into the EV9 has been pushed out to the other EVs in Hyundai and Genesis based on the pictures. If so, then a decent set of physical switches for the most common features and a very user-friendly thought-out interface imho. I like this new updated design much better than generation 1. I am very excited to see what comes of the next 18 months. Seems to be a weird assortment of some companies are investing in the U.S. to ensure market share gain and production with minimal tariff affect like the 21 billion Kia/Hyundai/Genesis are investing and then others are cancelling plants like Ford and GM. Then you have the Europeans that have come out and stated they will have a Tariff line cost on each auto now with no changes in production as I think they are figuring 47 could be gone soon based on recent video of him and his leg dragging, slurring of speech and freezing in talking and someone else will have common sense to set fair trade negotiations and balance the craziness out.

Interesting read, I have to agree that the writer hits a number of solid points as to why the whole Tariff mess actually will help EVs as ICE dies. Why EV-hating Trump has accidentally driven the final nail in the coffin of gas cars Interesting read and I can see dealerships ripping up current unsigned contracts to reap bigger profits on autos on the lot now before the more expensive ones show up. US consumers rush to buy big-ticket items before Trump's tariffs kick in

Yes Genesis is not as high as they were in 2017 for the G90, but they have been slowly climbing the last 3 years, so we will see how it goes. I think breaking it out as a stand alone luxury division is a smart move. https://carfigures.com/us-market-brand/genesis/g90 Yet if you look at U.S. total sales of all models, Genesis has continued to increase in sales each year. Genesis | US Market Brands | CarFigures It is not a sprint, but a marathon of luxury quality autos.

Hyundai set a new benchmark in EV design with captivating curves and enhanced proportions with the reveal of the IONIQ 6 and IONIQ 6 N Line at the SEOUL Mobility Show.

The previous-generation vehicle’s prominent spoiler has been removed, with the new IONIQ 6 featuring an extended ducktail spoiler to maintain aerodynamic performance while achieving a smoother, more refined silhouette. The car’s front and rear design details have been refined for a modern and high-tech appearance, featuring separate slim daytime-running lights and main lamps.
