The United States is beginning to dismantle the load network for electric cars, according to leaks

by

Donald Trump had a clear objective on his arrival at the White House: dismantling how many Biden administration policies could. Within what the former executive fostered, there were measures to accelerate the decarbonization through the commitment to renewable energies and the electric cars. After a movement that put the legs up the US aspirations with the electric carThe Verge and CPR News claim that one more step will be taken soon: to dismantle thousands of electric car loading points Throughout the country, in addition to removing electric cars bought by the Biden government. Federal buildings without plug. The Colorado Public Radio It was the first means to echo this. They claim to have access to an internal email and several sources that point to the administration of general services, or GSA, is working to align with the current administration. And that implies closing load stations. The GSA is responsible for administering buildings that are owned by the federal government, a task that performs throughout the country. According to an email you have seen The Vergethe GSA plans to announce the gradual closure of the loaders network at some point in last week. Some offices would have already begun to pull the plug and in others, in which there are contracts with the network suppliers, the loaders will be disabled once these contracts expire. To the clean point. When this happens, neither the vehicles owned by the government nor the individuals of the workers can load at those points. During the Biden mandate, the GSA was responsible for implementing a presidential plan to gradually eliminate the use of gas propelled vehicles. The idea It was that, of the 650,000 vehicles that the federal government has, more than half were replaced by electric. That is why recharge points began to be installed in federal buildings, but with the new plan in progress and the intention of not going to electric cars, those chargers would now not make sense. According to The entity itself, in March 2024, more than 58,000 electric vehicles had been commissioned and, to the 8,000 recharge points in government buildings, another 25,000 would be added soon. Before and after Trump “They are not critical for the mission”. There was a map that showed in real time the location and status of these load points, but the only way to Consult it It is via Wayback Machine, since that section of the web was deleted a few days ago. According to the sources of The Verge and CPR, the electric vehicles they already had will stop using, but it is not clear if they will be sold or stored. And the message issued by the GSA in the filtered communications could not be clearer: “We have received instructions that all the load stations owned by the GSA are not critical for the mission.” Does not a puppet with a head. In Wired they echoed plan of the GSA to sell approximately 500 buildings as part of the efforts of the Trump government for “Clean” public administrationsomething that is also aligned with the Doge department leading Elon Musk. The most striking of all this is that the GSA and the Government not only will not go to the electric car, but to dismantle points that prevent the workers of those buildings from carrying their particular electric cars while they are in their job.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on February 22

by

There is nothing like the weekend. With his rest days, his time to enjoy the family, to take the car and leave for a while … as long as you are not affected by the restrictions of today does not circulate sabbatino. Because, in that case, the last will have more complicated. These restrictions are what the CDMX Ministry of Environment applies (Sedema), A program designed with the aim of reducing the pollutant emissions we breathe. As? Very simple, forcing some cars not to move from their home. These restrictions, yes, only apply where the does not circulate today is active. That means that what we explain here is active for the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today But how do we know if it affects us or not today does not circulate? As you can see in the superior image, there are daily restrictions but on Saturdays they are special days. Like the rest of the week, it is the hologram and plate number that defines everything but in a slightly different way. That causes us to meet the following situations: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another Restrictions, yes, do not apply all day. They are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without taking into account any type of restriction. Once we have reviewed this, what do we have to be clear about today? The simplest thing is that cars with hologram 0 and 00 can stop reading here. They do not affect any type of restriction. Hologram 2 can do the same … but for different reason. In this case, cars with this number of hologram cannot leave any Saturday at the hours that the restrictions apply. Therefore, you don’t have to go around. It is those of Hologogram 1 that can fall into confusion. In this case, it is broken with restrictions. Thus, those who circulate this week will not do it next week and vice versa. In this case, Saturday, February 22it will be the cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in even number those that cannot move. This is because we are in the fourth Saturday of February and, therefore, it is the cars with a plate finished in even number that remain at home. The odd weeks do the same plates ended in odd number. And, every week, it is evident that it is broken. Of course, we cannot forget that there are some exceptions that go beyond being able to circulate freely at night. Thus, the following cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

Byd has already placed solid state batteries in their electric cars: we have good and bad news

by

If there is a technology that has been playing for years in the world of electric cars, that is that of solid state batteries. Companies like Mg They have already advanced that they are the future for the electric car to consolidate 1,000 kilometers of autonomy, Honda has opened a megaphabrica dedicated to them, and Byd just announced nearby plans to start implementing them. The Chinese company has placed when it intends to start marketing electric cars fed by this type of batteries. Spoiler: There is not too much To start enjoying them. In the second annual battery summit and solid state development of China during the last weekend, Sun Huajun, the CTO of the Byd battery business, gave relevant information about the company’s progress. {“Videid”: “X8T0ABA”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “Yangwang U9 and its body control”, “Tag”: “Yangwang U9”, “Duration”: “23”} According to your statements, Byd is ready to Start marketing vehicles with solid state batteries from 2027. Between 2027 and 2029 its first phase will begin, starting from a limited production as a demonstration phase. From 2030, this production is expected to start working on a large scale, beginning to democratize mainly in its highest range vehicles. According to byd, this type of batteries are more stable, allow faster loads, and greater autonomy. In Xataka Byd hits Tesla in her great promise of the future: "Eye of God" It is your free autonomous driving system in your cars Although 2030 will be presumably the year in which this type of batteries will have more presence, the adoption will not be massive. The cost of solid state batteries remains higher than that of LFP batteries, so this second type of batteries is expected to remain alive for at least 15 years. Those of solid state will be Focused first -line products Already luxury brands of the group, as a denza or yangwang. Despite this, the objective of giants such as Catl is to achieve mass production that ends up making this type of batteries more accessible. These are the Holy Grail For the future of the electric car, and incorporating them into mass models is the next step. Image | Byd In Xataka | Byd’s growth is unstoppable. Now he is at the gates of overcoming annual sales to Ford and Honda (Function () {Window._js_modules = Window._js_modules || {}; var headelement = document.getelegsbytagname (‘head’) (0); if (_js_modules.instagram) {var instagramscript = Document.Createlement (‘script’); }}) (); – The news Byd has already placed solid state batteries in their electric cars: we have good and bad news It was originally posted in Xataka by Ricardo Aguilar .

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on February 15

by

The weekend returns, on Saturday and, indeed, today does not circulate Sabatino. The restrictions of this peculiar program for the reduction of emissions where it is applied again is active as every week. This is carried out because, obviously, the program devised by the CDMX Ministry of Environment is maintained active (Sedema). This is the one that specifies what the restrictions are and which are applied at every moment. The restrictions, as you surely know, only apply where the does not circulate today is active. That is, for now we talk about the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today Once we have all this into account, what is carried out and why is it activated today? As you can see in the upper image, the intention is to remove some vehicles from the circulation (temporarily) to reduce the pollutant emissions we breathe. These restrictions are mostly applied from Monday to Friday and apply taking into account the hologram and plate number, as specified in the upper image. But on Saturdays, the thing is complicated because not every Saturday highlights the same cars. Why is it complicated? Because, as we can see below, the combination of hologram and plate number will leave us the following options: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another Restrictions, in addition, that do not apply all day. They apply between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without taking into account any type of restriction. To be clear whether or not we are affected by today’s restrictions, the first thing we have to look at is what hologram we have in our car. If, for example, we have hologram 0 or 00, we will not have to attend to the restrictions mentioned here since we can move freely. On the contrary, with a hologram car 2 we will either have much to think but we have bad news: you can not circulate any Saturday. That is, if you have a car with hologram 2, what has to be clear is that you will not be able to move it in the time specified by the standard. Finally, they are those of Hologram 1 Those who rotate and, therefore, where you can fall into errors more easily. In this case, those of cars with Hologram 1 and plaque finished in odd number will have to stay at home because we are facing the third Saturday of the month (February 15). Cars with hologram 1 rotate every week. The odd numbers coincide with Saturdays of odd weeks. Therefore, next week (fourth Saturday of February), cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in torque will have to stay home. Of course, we cannot forget that there are some exceptions that go beyond being able to circulate freely at night. Thus, the following cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

If it is a matter of time for AI to enter our cars, Nissan and Deepseek have decided to advance

by

Deepseek’s adoption is being much faster than that of Chatgpt. The artificial intelligence that arises as the new reference in China is already integrating natively into smartphones manufacturers, such as Honor and Nubia In your native country. He is also landing in electric cars, such as ByD, which have already signed agreements to improve their autonomous driving system thanks to Deepseek technology. Following his steps, the first Japanese manufacturer to bet on this Open Source model for greater interface level integration has been Nissan. A plan similar to the byd. This week we knew byd’s plans to integrate Depseek into its research and development line. The agreement with Byd had as its main focus to implement an advanced autonomous driving system, raised for both high -end vehicles and for the most accessible. Beyond the autonomous driving plans, improvements were raised in the vehicle’s own software thanks to the integration of this AI. Is exactly what he wanted Announce Nissan. The company has revealed that its new electric sedan, the Nissan N7 (a vehicle born of a joint venture with the Dongfeng and oriented to the Asian market), is the first vehicle to incorporate a deep integration with Depseek-R1. The vehicle will be able to process natural language, make recommendations related to navigation and entertainment system, as well as adjust to driver’s habits to vary their behavior. A thrust for software. From a time to this part, the software has become one of the main keys when it comes to a vehicle. Android Auto, Android Automotive, Apple CarPlay, Own Solutions of the manufacturer, Alliances with video game development companies… Who wants to lead the car of the future has to lead in software, and alliances with agents such as Depseek will be key to it. China is also one of the countries that is leading the transition to the electric vehicle, and having the main alternative to Chatgpt can completely shake the market. Nissan is not alone. Nissan and Byd are not the only companies that have approached Depseek. The gigantic Chinese group Geely, owner among others of Polestar and Volvo, has also opted for China to integrate it in the future in some of its vehicles. The objective and advantage for the user? The same as in the previous case: that drivers can enjoy a more connected driving experience, thanks to the natural understanding of language that these models allow.

“Eye of God” is your autonomous driving system and will be free in all your cars

by

Do we want our cars to drive alone? It is one of the great questions about which the automotive market seems to turn. Companies, of course, seem to be clear about the answer: yes. Beyond the obligations of the European Union in security matters (which already forces to ride assistants such as emergency braking or lane change alert), it is clear that efforts for Offer highly assisted systems in driving They are there. The manufacturers have been highlighting the functions for an automated vehicle parking for some time. From Online parking lotsuntil they square the car in a minimum space Based on burning wheelthrough vehicles that Remember the path they have circulated and thus save really narrow spaces or cars that They function like a robb In a parking lot. But it is Tesla and especially Chinese manufacturers who seem to be more interested in demonstrating to what extent they have the best semi -automatic driving systems. They believe there is a huge business to explode and Byd has just knew an important blow to Tesla. Autonomous driving as a differential value From Tesla they have tired of selling us autonomous driving as the great business of the future for the company. His Tesla Cybercabthe attempt to put a completely autonomous robotaxi on the street that lacks flyers and pedals, is the most obvious attempt. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. The company has been selling its semi -automated driving functions for years with promiseseven that now they see very complicated to fulfill and that They will cost Tesla a good money. Elon Musk has made his Autopilot and the Full self driving Be a sufficient value to opt for Tesla rather than for the competition. In the United States, promoting the system is key because they aspire to make vehicles themselves in automatic mode (under supervision) help them improve the system they are developing for their robotaxis. They believe that they can get a huge database to which Cruise or Waymo never arrived. But where there really is a really bloody battle in economic terms it is in China. In fact, Musk himself has made all possible efforts For Tesla to be allowed to map the streets to develop their autonomous driving systems. They are aware that in a market where the price is being differential and Chinese brands continue to tighten stronglya good performance of these systems is differential to sell as a key incentive before a future purchase. Obviously, they are not the only ones who believe it. During the presentation of Xiaomi Su7the Chinese company focused an important part of its efforts on demonstrating the autonomous capabilities of its car. Not only taught how the car reads the environment, they came to demonstrate how the vehicle It worked with absolute autonomy within a public parking lotI found a space where to park and maneuver between different obstacles. That same demonstration of strength (or higher) is what has made byd with the presentation of its “Eye of God”. The most surprising thing has not been that they sell the automated driving functions of their cars, they have also made an important announcement: incorporate it for free to all their vehicles. A missile in Tesla’s flotation line that sought to make these systems a business added to its vehicles, A way to profitable with permanent subscriptions or purchases at high prices these services. Until now, Byd only had this service in its middle and high -end vehicles but The company has announced which will be available for free in all its electric cars, from the economic Byd Seagullone of the electric models best selling in the country. During the announcement, Wang Chuanfu, founder of Byd, mentioned That automated driving functions have become basic safety equipment, at the seat belt or airbag level. The Chinese company also confirmed that it was integrating models of Deepseek in its functions controlled by artificial intelligence to improve the autonomous capacity of vehicles. The announcement is A bomb within the Chinese market. The local market is leaving aside the classic characteristics that have attracted cars to focus on advanced functions such as deeper infotainment systems or autonomous driving. Xpeng either Child They have tried to position their products as advanced vehicles in this regard without achieving profitability. Xiaomi, as we said, He showed these functions in the presentation of its first electric car. Incorporating these services in an electric car that, at direct change, is sold for less than 10,000 euros in China is a declaration of intentions and can be an important impulse to sales, something that the Chinese state seeks that has continued to expand the aid to the purchase of these cars with the aim of keeping alive an industry that is manufacturing much more of the vehicles you can buy while trying to continue promoting the consumption of citizens Faced with the slowdown in growth.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on February 8

by

Second weekend of February, second Saturday and, of course, second day of the month where we have to face the Sabatino does not circulate today. Because some cars will have to rest but the one who does not rest is the Sabatino. This happens because this is defined by the program devised by the CDMX Secretariat (Sedema) where all restrictions of the Sabatino does not circulate today. All these restrictions, as you know, only apply where the does not circulate today is active. Therefore, we will only find it in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today Ok, but what to take into account to understand well what it consists of today does not circulate? Well, as specified in the superior image, there are cars that cannot move throughout the day, from Monday to Friday. The restrictions are defined depending on the hologram and the last plaque issue, thus defining who and when they stay at home. On Saturdays, however, the thing is complicated because the restrictions are changing. To know what we are talking about, we must bear in mind that these combinations of hologram and plate number give us three assumptions that apply on Saturdays: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another Of course, keep in mind that these restrictions only apply between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without taking into account any type of restriction. Once we have all this in mind … The first thing we have to be clear about is that cars with hologram 0 and 00 are in luck because they have nothing to take into account. These cars can circulate without problem. The same happens with those of Hologram 2 but, in this case, they are the other face of the currency. Cars with hologram 2 cannot circulate any Saturday. They are those of Hologogram 1, therefore, those who rotate. Depending on the last plaque issue, it is one or the other who stay at home. In this case, the February 8, as is the second Saturday of the month of August, will be the cars with a plate finished in even number that will be resting. Next week will be the cars of Hologram 1 and odd number. However, we cannot forget that there are some restrictions. Beyond the time control, the following cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

Novo Energy wanted to stand up to Chinese batteries for electric cars. It has ended in the hands of a Chinese company

by

Point and apart for the soap opera of the Great European hope In the battery segment for electric cars. In the European assault on electric car industryVolvo and the Northvolt battery manufacturer founded Novo Energy. Both were Swedish and it was a Join Venture with the aim of producing batteries in Europe. It seemed that everything was going to be A ROSA pathbut a few years later and after thousands of layoffsNorthvolt sell His participation in Novo Energy A Volvo. And behind Volvo is Geelyan important Chinese holding. Culebrón. Things stopped going well for Northvolt practically from the beginning. During the first years, the European Investment Bank, BMW, Goldman Sachs or Volkswagen invested sums of hundreds of millions of euros in the company. The Swedish company, founded by two Exegutive of Tesla, became the great European promise to create batteries and be the heart of that European flying towards the electric car. In a market increasingly controlled by ChinaIt seemed like a great idea and everything pointed in good sense. In addition, together with Volvo they founded Novo Energy in 2021 to produce the batteries of both Volvo and Polestar. However, things began to twist in 2023, when it was uncovered that the company had been operating with losses of 1,000 million dollars during the first nine months of the year. And, in 2024, the situation exploded. Last nail in the coffin. Everything happened very fast. After the delays in the delivery dates, BMW canceled its agreement of 2,000 million euros, there were a series of employee deaths in work shifts, fired more than 1,600 workers in September and, shortly after, the bankruptcy arrived. In November 2024, Northvolt requested bankruptcy protectionarguing that they had 30 million in cash and, with them, they could only operate for a week. The hole they had was 5.8 billion dollars. A skinny dog, everything is fleas, and a day later one of the founders resigned, arguing that the company would need 1.2 billion dollars to save itself. After a few days of 2025 in which the company was still looking for financing, something that nobody seemed willing to do, sales arrived. It was even rumored that Catl, the main Chinese rival in battery manufacturing, I could give a hand. Volvo. After getting rid of some services, this January 29 we learned that the Swedish company sold its participation in Novo Energy to its partner in this adventure, Volvo. It is something that does not catch by surprise, since, as with BMW, Volvo saw that Northvolt’s delivery plans were not being fulfilled and in October last year he showed his interest in acquiring participation in Novo. Last week, Novo Energy advertisement which had to reduce its workforce by 30% due to “the changing market conditions and a modified business plan”. Northvolt wants to reduce everything possible and focus on its Swedish plant, but they have also signed an agreement with Volvo to explore joint collaboration paths in the future, so everything is not lost. China looks out to Europe. Therefore, Volvo will now be the one Novo Energy, we will see if alone or with partners, but the interesting thing about this operation is that, although Volvo is a Swedish company that is in the bag of his country, the matrix is ​​Geely, A Chinese holding. They are present in multitude of companies and sectors, with an important participation in Mercedes-Benz, Aston Martin or Lotus, as well as co-owners of smart, polestar and with a participation of more than 80% in Volvo. It is curious that Northvolt was born to stand up to the Chinese battery industry and that the Join Adventure That I had with Volvo to produce batteries in Europe, now, is controlled by a Chinese company, in the absence of seeing the resolution of the authorities. And all this, shortly after Tariffs imposed by Europe To the Chinese electric car.

Your factory will grow to make more cars

The world automobile industry, and especially the European He is not at his best. They move in a scenario in which a crisis have converged Electrification derivedthe pressure of the Asian manufacturers and the imposition of Tariff policies who have staggered All strategies commercial However, in the midst of all that chaos, a European brand looks at the future with optimism and closes one of its best years in sales and benefits, making public His intention to expand his production: Rolls-Royce and his personalized cars division. Make unique rolls-royce The British luxury car manufacturer announced an investment of 300 million pound High customization level in their finishes by its richest customers. The brand is part of the BMW Group and, just as other luxury cars manufacturers such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, have highlighted or bugattithe personalization market of its cars has triggered the profit margins, while they have encouraged sales. According to the Rolls-Royce Sales Report, the manufacturer sold 5.712 units in 2024: the third highest annual sales registered, although in reality it represents a 5% drop with respect to 2023. However, taking into account the Sales fall context generalized throughout the sector, staying in those figures selling luxury cars is a milestone. As Chris Brownridge, executive director of Rolls-Royce, recognized in An interview for CNBCmuch of that success is due to the complex customizations that demand Your ultra -up clients. “We have customers in every corner of the world and this increase in demand for more complex orders by our clients is something that we must satisfy. Therefore, Goodwood investment is something that demonstrates the health of the organization, but also demonstrates The trust we have in our growth plans, “said Rolls-Royce manager. As its person in charge indicates, “what we intend – and we will – is to manufacture more special commissions and more extraordinary cars”, so the intention of this expansion is not to manufacture more cars, but to give greater coverage to the exclusive customization orders of the Bespoke programs and Coachbuild with which the final price of the car can double. Rolls-Royce customization office in Seoul The Roll-Royce plan is not limited to providing more space and resources to the workshops that carry out these customizations, but also plan Expand the number of private offices In which customers, prior exclusive invitation, can customize their vehicles to the slightest details. It would be the equivalent of going to a tailor to make you a custom car. Exclusive cars: the lifeguards of European luxury brands Personalization in Rolls-Royce only limits the budget of its customers. The British brand has come to develop An exclusive painting For one of his customizations called Lunaflair, in which they have spent a year and will only look A Rolls-Royce unit. Brands like Ferrari, stood out in Your report of benefits of the third quarter of 2024 the Consolidated personalization growth in it Atelier Ferraridivision that the brand has created to respond to the exclusive requests of its customers. Alessio Soligo, head of sales for southern Europe in Lamborghini, said that “each customer wants their custom suit. Above all, for supercar, customers want to have the possibility of customizing their car and Lamborghini offers them a wide range of possibilities to achieve it. “ Tim Bravo, director of communication of the brand, assured that 90% of the cars that come out of His factoring of Sant’agata Bolognese He does it with some type of customization and an average increase in its price of 20%.

In his first year “in crisis” selling electric cars, Musk puts the eye in optimus with promises and really psychedelic figures and figures

by

Tesla has closed 2024 with A 71% drop in benefits Up to 2.3 billion dollars, while income barely grew 2%. The company has registered its first historical setback in cars deliveries, something that We saw coming. Why is it important. The moment could not be more critical. Tesla is in front of a perfect storm: Growing Chinese competition, With Byd at the head. Global price war. Premium market saturation. End of government aid. Musk’s response has been remarkable: Price cuts that have eroded the margins to alarming levels. Between the lines. Musk seems to be repeating its usual strategy: in the face of disappointing results, it promises technological revolutions that divert attention to the fundamental problems of the business. This time, the bet is double: autonomous taxis and Humanoid robots. Yes, but. Musk’s closeness with Trump has triggered the value of shares more than 100% in the last year, challenging all financial logic. Investors seem to bet more on the political influence of Musk than by the fundamentals of Tesla. The operating margins have collapsed to 6.2%, from 8.2% of the previous year. Cybertruck sales have stagnated in 13,000 quarterly units. AND Every time they sell cheaper. Tesla depends more and more on regulatory credits: 692 million dollars this quarter. Trump has put them in the target. Between bambalins. The advertisement of the autonomous taxi Cybercab for 2026 And the beginning of Robotaxis operations In June of this 2025, he dangerously remembers previous promises unfulfilled. However, Musk insists: “This time the wolf is real. And it can drive alone.” Tesla is at a historical crossroads: either it manages to materialize its technological promises and maintains its position as an innovative leader, or runs the risk of becoming a more cars manufacturer, less and less differential with respect to others, and caught in a price war With diminishing margins. Deepen: The New version of Model and It will reach 60,000 dollars in March, 33% more expensive than the current model. The European records of Tesla fell 24% in October. The company It is under investigation due to fatal accidents related to its autonomous driving system. Tesla’s brand value was reduced by 15,000 million in 2024, partly for Musk’s political rhetoric. The Trump administration promises to eliminate incentives for electric vehicles. Musk says this will harm the competition more than his company, but analysts are not so safe: Tesla is no longer the only relevant actor in the premium electricity market.
