Tesla announces European Cybertruck tour across 24 cities! While it was rumored months ago that Tesla would be bringing the Cybertruck to locations across Europe. This is the first time the Tesla has officially announced those plans, besides the recent Giga Berlin appearance. The news also comes just as Tesla has announced plans to bring the vehicle displays to Australia and New Zealand. It’s not clear if Tesla ever plans to bring the Cybertruck to most of these markets, especially as regulations for passenger safety standards can vary quite substantially from country to country. For example, CEO Elon Musk has previously stated that getting the Cybertruck to be road-legal in China would be “very difficult.” You can see the list of cities the Cybertruck tour is expected to hit: 🇬🇧 London, England 🇬🇧 Manchester, England 🇩🇪 Berlin, Germany 🇩🇪 Hamburg, Germany 🇪🇸 Madrid, Spain 🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain 🇭🇺 Budapest, Hungary 🇮🇹 Venice, Italy 🇮🇹 Milan, Italy 🇮🇹 Rome, Italy 🇵🇱 Warsaw, Poland 🇫🇷 Paris, France 🇦🇹 Vienna, Austria 🇨🇿 Prague, Czech Republic 🇵🇹 Lisbon, Portugal 🇹🇷 Istanbul, Turkey 🇳🇱 Amsterdam, Netherlands 🇳🇴 Oslo, Norway 🇩🇰 Copenhagen, Denmark 🇸🇪 Stockholm, Sweden Will you go see him? #emobility #tesla #cybertruck #charginginfrastructure

#MercedesBenz continues to invest in electric cars despite weak demand 👍⚡ 🗣️ "It would be a huge mistake if we were to reduce investments in electrification now," said CEO Ola Källenius. Other car manufacturers are not waiting. The Swabian brand will continue its e-offensive and at the same time keep the combustion engine for longer. "The combustion engine is being completely renewed." According to Källenius, the longer coexistence of drive types will lead to the largest product offensive in the company's history between 2025 and 2028. "We have to make 45 cars in a short space of time - all legacy models and all new ones - that is a challenge." In view of the currently difficult market situation in China, where Mercedes is having to accept a decline in sales, the manager said: "We have to be realistic in the near future. If the revenue potential is lower than before, we have to adapt." China is the country where he currently spends most of his time outside of Germany... 📖 Source https://lnkd.in/gqJmFNaq #IONAXS #CleanMobility #eMobility #ElectricCars  #FutureMobility #Batteries #Automotive  #ElectricVehicles #AutonomousVehicles  #EV #Lithium #Innovation #Sustainability  #Recycling #Future #Energy #Efficiency #Technology #AVEVAI #TomTsogt 🔔👍

 Is Gigacasting the Future of Automotive Manufacturing or Just a Buzzword? In first half of this year, Tesla rolled back its plan to invest in #gigacasting, citing huge upfront investment which they are in no position to make considering the falling profit margins and softening demand of EVs. From a technology standpoint, gigacasting certainly helps in faster manufacturing and light-weighting vehicles. However, from a consumer perspective, it might initially add to costs due to the high capital investment required by manufacturers. Another important perspective is vehicle design. Gigacasting might lower the flexibility of designs, geometries, and features in vehicles because it involves a single mono-casting. This might be a good investment for the mass market. However, if manufacturers can work with traditional assembly lines, why invest so much in a technology for which they are not yet sure whether they will be able to break even? For new modes of transport, such as Air Mobility, this still requires significant manufacturing infrastructure, which could be completely built on the concept of gigacasting. #Stellarix #StellarixConsultancyServices #gigacasting #future #airmobility #manufacturing #automotivemanufacturing

🚀 The U.S. electric vehicle giant Tesla is officially setting up in Lithuania 🇱🇹 with the newly founded 'Tesla Lithuania'! ⚡ Located in the 'Park Town' business center on Lvivo Street, Vilnius, 'Tesla Lithuania' will focus on importing, repairing, maintaining, and selling electric vehicles, batteries, and energy production equipment. With a share capital of 230,000 euros, this marks a significant step in Tesla's regional expansion. ℹ️ Did you know? In 2021, Lithuania welcomed its first Tesla Supercharger stations, installed by 'Elinta Charge' in Kaunas. And now, with Tesla's presence growing, who knows what more is to come? 🧐 Stay tuned for more updates on how Tesla is driving Lithuania into a greener future! #LithuaniaCoCreate #TeslaLithuania #ElectricVehicles #GreenEnergy #Vilnius #Lithuania

As a car enthusiast and someone who closely observes the auto industry, the recent reports that Tesla has shelved plans for a factory in Southeast Asia are both intriguing and disappointing. For many in the region, Tesla’s entry symbolized a potential turning point for the electric vehicle (EV) market. But Elon Musk’s apparent decision to focus elsewhere raises questions about the future of EV development in ASEAN and the role the region can play in the global EV race.

I am supercharged as I share this exciting news from last week: EVage Motors has entered into a strategic Joint Venture with probably the biggest name today, in motor technology, DGI Plc , a UK-based company founded by former core team members of Tesla. At EVage, we've always been committed to offering electric commercial vehicles built with cutting-edge, yet commercially viable technology. Almost two years ago, we made a conscious decision to choose LTO chemistry for our battery packs, prioritising safety, reliability, and performance for our fleet customers. With this partnership, we're taking a giant leap forward by integrating DG Innovate’s revolutionary motor technology into our vehicles. Thanks to the unmatched 98.5% efficiency of their proprietary Pareta electric drive system, our customers can now expect superior vehicle performance along with significantly improved fleet utilization and productivity. This JV couldn’t have come at a better time for us. The fact that DG Innovate, with its impressive lineage and expertise, chose to partner with us speaks volumes about our shared vision and potential. The Indian economy is on track to surpass Japan and become the 4th largest in the world by FY25. With the government’s clear roadmap for electrification by 2030, the demand for EVs, especially commercial vehicles, is set to bloom over the next five years (Source: ET). Together, we’re moving forward into the next phase of clean mobility. Stay tuned! #ElectricVehicles #MotorTechnology #CleanMobility #Sustainability #Innovation #ThinkAhead #EVage #FR8

In August, Norway achieved a new world record with electric vehicles (EVs) making up a staggering 94% of all new car sales. The Tesla Model Y led the charge, followed by popular models like the Volvo EX30 and Skoda Enyaq. Generous incentives, including exemptions from emissions taxes and VAT, have fueled this impressive growth. Year-to-date, EVs have captured 87% of Norway’s automotive market. As the country moves towards its goal of 100% zero-emission cars by 2025, it continues to set the benchmark for global EV adoption. #NorwayEVs #EVSalesRecord #TeslaModelY #VolvoEX30 #SkodaEnyaq #ElectricVehicles #GreenTransportation #ZeroEmissions #SustainableLiving #AutomotiveTrends

In response to the sluggish sales of electric cars in Germany, BMW's Production Director, Milan Nedeljković, has proposed new incentives to boost demand. Rather than relying on state purchase premiums, which he believes are unsustainable in the long run, Nedeljković suggests offering electric vehicles preferential treatment on the roads. His ideas include dedicated motorway lanes for electric cars, privileged access to inner cities, and free parking. He argues that seeing electric cars bypass traffic could prompt more people to consider switching. This proposal comes amid BMW's continued commitment to manufacturing in Germany, with plans to produce over a million cars in the country in 2024, despite rising challenges such as bureaucracy, high energy costs, and an increasingly difficult competitive environment. Nedeljković also voiced concerns about EU climate policies that could unfairly penalize companies investing in green energy by using the national electricity mix, including coal power, to calculate CO₂ footprints. These insights highlight the complex landscape of automotive manufacturing and the ongoing challenges and opportunities in the transition to electric mobility. It's an interesting proposal since most of the Autobahn is two lanes in each direction. That would imply either building an entirely separate additional lane at massive cost or relegating ICE cars to the slow lane, behind lorries. What do you think about this proposal? is it outlandish, or achievable in a full EV future? #ev #electricvehicle #evnews
