4+ hour, 21+ min ago (532+ words) Remember the Tesla Model Y? Of course you do, it's the best-selling electric car ever made and has sold well over 50,000 units in Australia alone. And even with the controversy the brand's head has created in recent times, the Tesla Model Y has enjoyed big sales globally. Following on from the big "Juniper' mid-life update to the Model Y that lobbed earlier this year, Tesla has turned up the styling wick on the Performance mid-size SUV variant to make it stand out more than before. Immediately noticeable are the huge 21-inch alloy wheels " the design is called "Arachnid' if you were wondering " wrapped in serious 255/35 front and 275/35 rear Pirelli P Zero tyres. There's a subtle bodykit to stand apart from lesser Ys, complete with a surprisingly real carbon-fibre rear lip spoiler. All in all, it looks far more sporting than…...

5+ hour, 27+ min ago (352+ words) Tesla China's executive team is seemingly working overtime to counter a report that the manufacturer is aiming to reduce their reliance on China. The WSJ report, which sent shockwaves through the 400 or so Chinese-based Tesla suppliers, claimed that Tesla was looking to lessen their supply chain's reliance on China, given ongoing trade issues and price-related uncertainty due to tariffs. To calm some of the fears, Tesla China's VP of External Relations took to Weibo and posted an indirect response to the article. She noted: Whether in the US, China, or Europe, Tesla uses the same rigorous and objective standards in selecting suppliers across all its manufacturing sites worldwide. The selections are based on product quality, total cost, technological strength and ability to keep long-term supply. Tesla is not alone in considering moving part and component manufacturing to other areas of…...

6+ hour, 15+ min ago (379+ words) Tesla is now offering free Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised 30-day trials in some of its key markets to help boost adoption rates of the company's semi-autonomous driving software suite. The company reposted a gift emoji when reposting the post from the Tesla and EV news account run by Sawyer Merritt. New and existing customers of eligible vehicles with Hardware 4 inside can access the 30-day trial if they install version 14.2 of the software in either a Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y or a Cybertruck.

11+ hour, 30+ min ago (483+ words) Drivers of electric vehicles will be forced to trek to MOT centres every year to have their mileage checked under controversial changes announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves , sparking fears the new pay-per-mile scheme could become a "chaotic and messy" nightmare, reports The Times. Under the government's radical overhaul, EV owners will be liable for a 3p-per-mile tax on miles driven from 2028, with plug-in hybrid drivers paying 1.5p. But in a twist that has left experts baffled, drivers of brand-new EVs will be required to visit MOT centres to have their mileage verified in the first two years of ownership, despite the car not even requiring an inspection. Drivers will be saddled with the onerous task of estimating and pre-purchasing their miles for the year at the same time they tax their car, with any unused miles claimed back as a rebate…...

11+ hour, 34+ min ago (619+ words) Powering up your EV with solar If you're thinking of buying an EV, adding an EV charger to your solar system is a smart way to "fuel" your car with clean, renewable energy. Electric vehicle ownership continues to accelerate as prices drop, charging infrastructure expands, and government incentives increase. More drivers now recognise the long-term savings and environmental benefits of switching to EVs. At the same time, homes are becoming smarter and more energy-efficient. Solar panels, home batteries, and intelligent inverters are creating synergies between mobility and domestic energy use. This intersection is transforming how energy is generated, stored, and consumed. EV charging has come a long way from slow overnight trickle charging. Today, homeowners can access fast, efficient, and intelligent charging systems that help save on costs and achieve energy independence. Smart charging is increasingly important as more households…...

13+ hour, 23+ min ago (584+ words) Tesla's poorly handled Powerwall 2 recall is now turning into a potential class action lawsuit over for leaving people with bricked batteries until Tesla replaces them. We previously reported on Tesla recalling thousands of Powerwall 2 units built between 2020 and 2022 due to a fire risk. We noted several problems with it, as it took months between the recall in Australia and the US, despite the units being identical and affected by the same issue. We also noted that Tesla has been aware of the problems for years and tried to sneakily replace some units rather than doing a broader recall. Now, some affected Powerwall owners are also taking issue with how Tesla is handling the recall. Tesla's ability to address issues via over-the-air (OTA) software updates is usually a massive advantage, but not everyone is happy with how Tesla is using its…...

13+ hour, 34+ min ago (384+ words) Last July, I leased a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV LT2. I got a stunning lease deal, leaving me conflicted about the car. I love my Blazer EV, but I wouldn't have paid its $52,000 sticker price. The good news is, I didn't, and you don't have to, either. Used Blazer EVs are shockingly cheap. The best price I've seen so far is $21,499 at used car retailer CarBravo, for a Radiant Red LT2 with 14,000 miles. But while that price is an outlier, it is exceedingly easy to find examples for under $25,000. Most of them have very few miles, and all appear to be in good condition. Of course, if you've been following the Blazer EV story, you may know why these are cheap. The Blazer got off to a rough start, with software problems that were bad enough to strand our own Kevin Williams. That…...
