Tesla has reported that it is cutting jobs in China, with local papers suggesting that as many as 180 of its 600 employees in the country will be let go. A spokesperson for the electric car manufacturer confirmed to The Wall Street Journal that the cuts were taking place, but would not say how many jobs were being lost. "We’re not just leaving. We’re trying to serve the market," said Tesla spokesperson Gary Tao. "Some people will go."

In the interior of the F 015 Luxury in Motion the designers have created a lounge-like space with a feel-good ambience characterised by elegance, quality and lightness. Sensual, flowing transitions and warm, organic materials such as open-pore walnut wood shaped into a three-dimensional veneer, and extremely soft ice white nappa leather contrast with clearly-defined metal and glass surfaces with a cool and technical feel.

In case you needed another reason to love the Tesla Model S, a newly discovered Easter egg now lets you play secret agent by turning your electric car into the submarine car from the James Bond film "The Spy Who Loved Me." The Easter egg is accessed via the Tesla Model S' large 17-inch display, according to Jalopnik, who confirmed with Tesla Motors that the Easter egg was indeed real.

The limited-production Vulcan track car offers a tantalising glimpse into the British carmaker's future.

With aerodynamically optimised, dramatically enhanced styling – including an active ‘Longtail’ Airbrake – the result is 40 percent more downforce than the 650S, which the 675LT will sit alongside in the McLaren Super Series.

The fastest, most powerful car in the British sports car marque's history takes aim at Porsche's vaunted coupe.

First it was reported that Apple and Tesla are in an intense bidding war for each other’s talent, and now an anonymous Apple employee has come out of the woodwork to talk smack. Tesla engineers are apparently “jumping ship” to join Apple, according to an email Business Insider received from an Apple employee who requested anonymity. “Apple’s latest project is too exciting to pass up… I think it will change the landscape and give Tesla a run for its money.”

We were promised flying cars, teleportation and hover boards. We don’t have any of that. But now we have this: The BMW i8 and it’s a future that cannot get here soon enough. My body hurt. My mind was numb. I had just spent a week in Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show and was ready to fly home. But first I had to drive a brand-new 2015 BMW i8 to L.A. It’s a rough job, but someone has to do it. The i8 is BMW’s latest supercar, able to go 0 to 60 in about 4.4 seconds...

A new model Tesla has been caught on camera at the Alameda Airport test track (via Electrek). The car looks pretty similar to a Prius, or perhaps a crossover utility vehicle, and could plausibly be either the Model X SUV Tesla has been working on for years, or, as others are arguing, a prototype of the mass-market Model 3 that the coming is planning to bring to market in the $35,000 price range.

Tesla introduced its dual-motor Model S late last year, and among the many improvements it has over the original Model S is its incredible acceleration. The standard Model S can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds, which is pretty fast, but the new dual-motor Model S can get there in just 3.2 seconds — "roller-coaster stuff," in other words.

Could car compact disc players soon become a thing of the past? For Hyundai the answer looks to be yes. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week, the carmaker debuted its new take on the in-dash audio console. Hyundai's new Display Audio System features a flashy touchscreen interface that doesn't include a CD player. Instead it's a Bluetooth-driven display that can be synced to Apple or Android phones and will support third-party apps.

From 2010 to 2014, U.S. electric car sales surged from almost nothing to about 120,000 per year. But the haters and doubters persist. Analysts and investing forums are buzzing about a coming stagnation. After all, in the past seven months the price of oil has collapsed from $115 a barrel to below $50. Gasoline prices have plummeted, too, fast approaching $2 per gallon nationally, and commuters are rejoicing. That means a key selling point for electric vehicles — low fuel costs — is gone.

The Google Car might not look like much, but its existence as an actual production vehicle has auto executives waking up in a cold sweat. At the moment, the Google Car is in the testing phase.
