Tesla has quietly unredacted all 17 of its autonomous driving crash narratives filed with NHTSA, revealing for the first time what actually happened in each incident. The automaker had been the only ADS operator to fully redact its crash reports, marking every single narrative as “confidential business information.” The data shows what we always suspected: most of Tesla’s crashes were not the fault of the autonomous system. But there are some genuinely concerning incidents buried in there. more…

The newly revived company, now backed by the same leadership team behind Lectric eBikes, has just launched Juiced Powersports, a new expansion focused on high-performance electric off-road motorcycles.

GMC has launched the GMC Hummer EV SUV in Korea, marking the first debut of the brand’s flagship all-electric SUV in the local market. Built on General Motors' (GM) dedicated electric vehicle platform, the Hummer EV combines the rugged identity of the iconic Hummer brand with advanced electrification technologies, targeting consumers seeking both premium performance and outdoor versatility, the carmaker said. The model is equipped with a dual-motor system producing 578 horsepower and offers a driving range of up to 512 kilometers on a single charge. A key highlight is GMC’s electronically controlled four-wheel steering system designed to enhance maneuverability in both urban and off-road environments. Other features, such as CrabWalk, allow the rear wheels to turn in the same direction as the front wheels at low speeds, enabling diagonal movement in tight spaces or rough terrain. King Crab mode further sharpens handling by increasing rear-wheel steering response for improved agility

Tesla has launched a new Model 3 Premium RWD trim in Canada starting at just $39,490 CAD — a record-low price for the electric sedan in the country.

The move marks the first time Tesla is selling China-made vehicles in Canada since the country imposed a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs back in 2024 — and it creates a massive price gap with the Model 3 Performance. more…
