Did you notice the technical difference between a Tesla and a Waymo? The tech needed on a Waymo is like comparing an old ICE engine to an electric engine.
The cost structure and energy efficiency is vastly different. Only the most cost competitive will survive in the end. Best part is no part.

Today we previewed the Lunar concept. A purpose-built robotaxi study based on our new midsize platform.
It highlights how Lucid’s efficiency leadership could unlock additional opportunities in autonomous mobility and commercial applications.
Still a concept, but an interesting look at what our midsize platform technology can enable.

Honda took "build-where-you-sell" to extremes. Now the brand is seen in Japan as closer to Suzuki, than Toyota. Honda's fix has turned a top Japan exporter into a top importer. Learn about Honda's twist of fate in my story here at @Automotive_News autonews.com/honda/an-honda…

In 2023, at the Cybertruck Delivery Event, Tesla said that they would launch a RWD Cybertruck with a 250 mile range for $61k
Today, they launched an AWD Cybertruck for $60k with 325 miles of range, 4.1s 0-60, outlets and tonneau for even less than they said the RWD would be.
Cheaper, more range, AWD, and quicker. Count inflation and the current new AWD price near matches the ones shown in 2019 too.

8 months ago @ElonMusk bragged about delivering a Tesla to a customer autonomously, claiming all Teslas in the Bay Area and Austin would be delivered autonomously by the end of 2025.
There hasn't been a single autonomous delivery since.
It was just another PR stunt to pump $TSLA stock.

I can’t wait to see all of the reviews that say that it’s quantifiably superior to a model Y for a list of reasons and then at the end the reviewer says, but you will still buy the model Y because it charges easier and drives itself and it’s just better.
More than half the cars I’ve ever owned in my life were Toyota products. But from now on, they will be Tesla’s.

The 2027 Toyota Highlander ditches its gas and hybrid powertrains and goes fully electric. The new three-row Highlander EV can travel up to 320 miles on a charge, and all-wheel-drive models produce 338 horsepower. Sales are set to begin at the end of this year, and we expect the 2027 Highlander to start in the mid-$50,000 range.
