Newly un-redacted crash reports reveal some of the troubles Tesla has had as it tries to scale its robotaxis.

One big hurdle to harvesting power with this new solar technology is government red tape. Here's where you can and can't take advantage of plug-in solar systems.

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…

I drove the IONIQ 9 for more than 600 km across a mix of highway and city driving, and I enjoyed the package Hyundai has put together. The E-GMP platform, the cabin space, and the seat quality are all class-leading or close to it. A few software-layer gaps keep it from being perfect, but for a family that covers distance, the IONIQ 9 is one of the most complete three-row EVs on the market today. Here is the full review and Electrek EV score for the Hyundai IONIQ 9 2026: more…

With the Tesla Semi now rolling off the high-volume production line at a qupted price of $290,000 for the 500-mile version, we ran a full total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis against a comparable diesel Class 8 truck. At current diesel prices of $5.35 per gallon, the results are striking. The Tesla Semi saves fleets between $147,000 and $404,000 over 5 to 10 years of ownership — but those savings hinge almost entirely on what operators pay for electricity and the price of diesel, which is spiking right now. more…

And that’s exactly why a lot of riders are going to love it even more. more…

I test-drove Xpeng’s new VLA 2.0 autonomous driving system in Beijing last week, and after 40 minutes of navigating one of the most aggressive driving environments in the world, I didn’t have to intervene once.

The refreshed electric sedan delivers up to 902 km (560 miles) of CLTC range, 800V charging architecture across all trims, and standard LiDAR — all while still undercutting the Tesla Model 3 in China. Xiaomi started deliveries of its updated best-seller in April after securing over 100,000 pre-orders, building on the 381,000 first-gen SU7s sold since the original launch in March 2024. more…
