I wasn't aware there was another all-electric semi on the roads. How do the specs compare to Tesla Semi?

Volta Trucks, founded in 2019, files for bankruptcy.
The insolvency of the designated battery supplier Proterra in August had a serious impact on Volta Trucks' production plans and reduced the possible unit numbers. In addition, these uncertainties would have had a negative impact on capital raising.
There are 3 BEV insolvencies in Germany alone and now a Swedish one. Is anyone counting?
When the consolidation is over, Tesla will emerge stronger and will have further expanded its market dominance.

In case you missed it — we shared lots of exciting details about the purpose of our production-intent builds in our latest blog post. This video showcases our latest factory layout (though some details are intentionally simplified).
We're currently stamping body parts for our production-intent (PI) builds. Once all body parts are validated, they'll be bonded together to form the complete body structure of Aptera.
Next, the team will start assembling our production-intent builds. Our PI builds will undergo rigorous testing, focusing on key components such as suspension, brakes, airbags, thermal systems, powertrain, battery, and software.
Safety and crash testing are next on the agenda for PI builds, which includes regulatory compliance checks, quality assurance, durability testing, and fine-tuning for efficiency and safety.
Then, we'll be ready to start mass production and commence customer deliveries. What we've all been waiting for!
It's going to be an exciting journey – one we're thrilled you're a part of.

We basically at the beginning of a large build of new #EVCharging infrastructure, so let's get it right.

Cadillac has brought the Celestiq to Vancouver to shoot some promotional footage.
Production is set to begin later this year, and it will start at US$340,000. No price for Canada yet, but a straight exchange puts it at around C$457,000.

I was caught in the cross-hairs of @DrKnowItAll16. Super interesting talking with a few folks from @vevabc about this old EV and the world it lived it. youtube.com/watch?v=6RGYHL7G…

Not having Xhitter on my phone has been a soul enhancing experience. I've been in Vancouver for the @FullyChargedShw live event in Vancouver which was, to adopt a north Americanism, 'totally awesome!'
Cannot wait to go back next year. I ❤️ Canada!
What’s going on with the cracks found in the front castings of 2023 Model Y Teslas?

While Tesla claims the cracks in the front casting are safe, this seems to contradict what their official Repair Guidelines states. (50mm = 1.9685in) @Tesla #Tesla $TSLA @elonmusk #ModelY #Model3Highland #Model3 #Highland
