Ioniq at Wrigley Field
We have to turn in the leased ‘24 Ioniq 5 SEL soon. Drove a ‘26 Ioniq 5 SE today. Far as I can tell the only thing it doesn’t have is the heated steering wheel & power lift gate. Am I missing anything? #evsky

tbh it really doesn't matter that low-volume high-end cars won't go EV until the last possible moment - that's because for the vast majority of people, ordinary EVs are already perfect and save them lots of $$$

eg: Rivian R2 & R3 launch as 400v, which is embarrassing. Tesla Model 3/Y charge at just 250kw

between those 2 price hikes, it'll cost folks US$9 to 10 more to fill the tank. ouch!

56% of new EU city buses were battery-electric in 2025
"This was unimaginable back in 2019 when the Clean Vehicles Directive was first adopted. Back then, electric buses stood at a mere 12% of the market. Now, it is clear that heavy vehicles can go electric, and do so fast."

Bar graph shows Tesla’s monthly domestic sales in China, from 2020 to January 2026.
embarrassing start to 2026 for Tesla in China, selling just 18,485 vehicles locally in January - its worst January since 2021
even worse is that Tesla is way lower than many local rivals; eg: Xiaomi sold 39,000 in January. yep, that's more than double
