The canola-for-cars deal cooked up by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Chinese President Xi Jinping is about to bear its most exotic fruit yet: a shipment of sporty new Lotus Eletre EVs set to arrive in Montreal this month.

Kia is trading in its flagship sedan after 14 years to focus on smaller, more affordable electric vehicles.
Code buried in Tesla’s latest iOS app update points to a new feature that would use the in-car cabin camera to verify a driver’s identity before allowing “Full Self-Driving” to activate.
If the system can’t confirm the person behind the wheel matches an authorized profile, it would block FSD and surface a failure message in the app.
For some companies, the budget e-bike market has become a race to cram as many headline-worthy specs as possible into a bike without crossing the psychologically important $1,000 mark. Bigger motors, bigger batteries, higher speeds, full suspension – they’re all showing up on bikes that would have sounded impossible at this price just a few years ago.

Tesla is ramping up production of the Cybercab at Giga Texas, with more than 100 of the steering-wheel-less two-seaters already spotted in the factory’s outbound lots.
The problem is that Tesla can’t sell it to you, and it can’t yet drive itself without a human watching — which raises the obvious question of why Tesla is building the car at all right now.
The IONIQ 5 is one of the most popular EVs right now outside of Tesla, and now Hyundai’s three-row electric SUV is finding its niche.
A Tesla driver was filmed apparently fast asleep behind the wheel at about 100 km/h on British Columbia’s Trans-Canada Highway on Sunday, with two sleeping children in the car.
The obvious question is how Tesla’s driver monitoring — the very system meant to catch this — let it happen. The answer is that the driver was wearing large sunglasses, and that one detail exposes a real gap in how Tesla watches its drivers.
