Tomorrow night's #Tesla #EV "Robotaxi event" will be eagerly watched.
But there appears to be little indication the company has actually solved the very difficult challenges of safe, robust, autonomous vehicles ... as @InsideEVs details in a superb piece.

Pikes Peak efforts are usually years in the making. Not so at Hyundai, which put together a team around the Ioniq 5 N in just six months.

New from me @InsideEVs a review of a car we don’t get here: the @Zeekr 007.
For the TL, DR folks — it’s fantastic and once again proves just how cooked we are. It offers Lucid Air like driving dynamics in a package that is cheaper than a Model 3.

Just how good are these new electric, software-driven cars in China, compared to their “foreign” competitors?
Reporter Kevin Williams (@gaytonaUSA) puts it plainly: “Western automakers are cooked. And a lot of this is probably their damn fault.”

Fisker's troubles have the attention of Wall Street. But what about the owners who paid some $70,000 for the cars?
