  1. Uber’s $4,000 EV grant has to work for the driver

    Uber’s EV grant can reduce the cost of switching cars. The driver still has to make the charging, mileage, and loan math work.

  2. Tesla’s cheaper Model 3 and Y are a trim decision, not a new car

    Tesla lowered the entry price with Standard trims. The buyer’s question is whether the missing features are worth the savings.

  3. The returning Bolt’s price is real. Its volume is still a question.

    GM announced a sub-$30,000 Bolt with faster charging. Its limited run makes production volume the part to watch.

    Tesla lowered U.S. Model 3 and Model Y prices in October 2023. A cheaper car still needed enough extra orders to justify the lost margin.

  10. Tesla's Q3 delivery drop left the factory explanation to prove

    Tesla delivered 435,059 vehicles in Q3 2023 after planned factory downtime. Sustained output would show whether the upgrades paid off.

    Tesla's 10,000th Texas Model Y proved the line was running. It did not show whether production had reached an economical pace.

  12. California's proposed car rebate used the wrong measure of need

    California's March 2022 relief proposal offered a rebate per vehicle and help for transit. Owning a car was a poor measure of need.

  13. Kia's EV6 record tested charging speed, not everyday reliability

    Kia's EV6 beat a U.S. cross-country charging-time record in 2021. A record run still left everyday charger reliability untested.

  14. Uber's Hertz deal put 50,000 Tesla rentals on the horizon
