Being one of the early makers of all-electric vehicles, Nissan has had a fair share of issues with the Leaf, mostly regarding battery performance, battery degradation and battery replacement. It’s still struggling on that last count, according to one owner.

Tesla has quietly made it less appealing to buy one of its cars used. As Electrek points out, just days ago, Tesla offered a two- to four-year warranty on used Model S and Model X vehicles. However, visit the company’s website today and you’ll see that it instead offers one-year or 10,000 miles of coverage. The updated policy is in addition to the company’s new-car warranty, which covers a vehicle for 4 years or 50,000 miles.

General Motors and Nikola are not expected to finalize a $2 billion deal scheduled to close before Wednesday after allegations of fraud and sexual abuse surfaced against the embattled start-up’s founder and former executive chairman, Trevor Milton, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.

The monumental Tesla Battery Day last week clearly wasn’t as monumental for some as they had expected. The day after the much-anticipated event, Tesla shares dropped by nearly 10%. This seems to be partly because the “million mile battery” wasn’t part of the presentation. The fickle investment community was hoping for an easily understood revolutionary announcement like an EV battery that will do a million miles without needing replacement.

Tesla announced that it will considerably reduce the asking prices of its battery cells and packs, meaning, the company’s next goal is a $25,000 electric car. It looks like Tesla will soon be coming with a new electric car carrying a $25,000 price tag. The company’s chief executive Elon Musk said its new “tabless” battery cells, and changing the materials used inside the cell, will enable the company to have the price per kilowatt-hour, which will enable them to make electric cars about the same price as combustion engine cars.

In 2017, Los Angeles started its eco-friendly project by buying a hundred electric-BMW vehicles for its police department. However, after a few months, police officers' issues using the car for their private usage were reported. Now, the state government was allegedly selling the cars batch-per-batch for very rip-off prices on online stores. Here's how much to buy one.

Say what you want about the panel gaps and the tweets, but everyone who's come at this king so far has missed. My opinion of Tesla in recent years has been one hell of a roller-coaster ride. At first, I admired the company's fast, innovative electric cars; then I grew to hate CEO Elon Musk's constant Twitter shenanigans and nuclear takes on journalists and the media.

Tesla has released its quarterly “Tesla Vehicle Safety Report.” One of the top reasons — if not the #1 reason — I bought a Tesla Model 3 last was because of its record-setting safety rating, so I’m always interested in seeing new stats on this topic.

Fiat Chrysler and Waymo have agreed on an exclusive deal to develop self-driving commercial vehicles. The automaker also will use Waymo's autonomous vehicle technology on its global fleet of future vehicles.

Tesla Inc's rapid rise to become the world's most valuable carmaker could mark the start of a new era for the global auto industry, defined by a Silicon Valley approach to software that is overtaking old-school manufacturing know-how.

Tesla has lowered the purchase price of its Model Y by $3,000, so its Long Range AWD will now cost $49,990, Electrek reported. The Model Y just began shipping in March, and earlier this month Tesla reported better-than-expected delivery numbers for all its vehicles in the second quarter, so the reason for the price cut isn’t totally clear. But it’s likely to help boost sales at a time when all carmakers are feeling the pinch of the economic downturn.

The Trump administration wants to require automakers to improve fuel economy standards by only about 1.5% per year, less than the previously required roughly 5% per year. An influential group of automakers won't take a side but wants a say.

Aston Martin is planning to cut up to 500 jobs from its 2600-strong workforce as part of a £10 million cost-cutting programme in the wake of the coronavirus crisis. The struggling British car maker says that the planned job cuts are intended to help boost profitability by bringing its cost base in line with reduced production levels of its sports car lines.

Volvo is keeping one of its more controversial promises by installing an electronic speed limiter in all of its cars regardless of drivetrain type, horsepower, body style, or target market. It also announced a feature named Care Key that lets owners set additional speed-related restrictions when letting another motorist drive their car.

Swedish automaker Volvo has issued a recall of every single 2019 and 2020 vehicle is has built thus far. That amounts to a total of 121,605 vehicles on the road today with a software incompatibility possibly causing the automatic emergency braking system to function improperly. Every single S60, V60, S90, V90, XC40, XC60, and XC90 sold in the U.S. is potentially affected.

Companies are already testing driverless trucks on America's roads. The technology will bring untold profits, but it may cost thousands of truckers their livelihoods.

Washington State’s Senate narrowly passed SB 5811 this week, paving the way for the Evergreen State to become the 12th to adopt California’s zero-emissions mandate. SB 5811 passed the House in January, and Gov. Jay Inslee is expected to sign the bill. When that happens, the entire US west coast will require that at least 5% of auto sales are EVs, increasing to 8% by 2025.

We love a good concept tire here at New Atlas. Incremental improvements aside, the wheel-to-road interface has been more or less stagnant since Goodyear rolled out the first commercial tubeless tire some 66 years ago. Now, the same company has proposed a radically different design with the new age of electric mobility in mind.

The fuel efficiency of the U.S. auto fleet hit a record in 2018, new data this week shows, a high-water mark that may be temporary as the Trump administration is working to roll back stricter Obama-era rules for cars and trucks. For now, interagency tension, reported by the Wall Street Journal, may delay the regulatory change for an auto industry that is in part scrambling to adjust to the expected looser rules — backed by some manufacturers, including General Motor GM, -4.68% , Ford Motor F, -3.70% and Toyota TM, -1.61% — yet still respond to rising demand for ever-more-efficient cars from green-minded younger buyers.
