Tesla’s direct sales-and-service model works beautifully in some states, while in others it’s still definitely a work in progress.

During the launch of the Cruise Origin driverless car, GM’s Cruise declared driving as we know it—and ride-sharing as we know it—obsolete. “This is the end of the human-driven, gasoline-powered single-occupant car, and the beginning of the future—the future beyond the car,” boomed a voice.

Last week, in a speech to executives in Germany, Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess was critical about the automaker’s pace so far toward electric vehicles. Diess underscored, according to the Financial Times, that shifting to electric vehicles would require “a radical change of direction”—to more of a tech company. Meanwhile, an...
Outdoorsy, crunchy, and active are surely among the descriptors that Subaru has carefully cultivated into its brand identity and owner base over the years. And while those sound like an ideal jumping point for going electric, Subaru still needs to assure its loyal owner base that leaving its trusty Boxer engines for an all-electric future is a...
Tesla said Monday that claims that its cars could suddenly accelerate without warning are without merit and were made by a profit-seeking investor.
