    EA Behind The Ball

    Ugh. I don’t know what’s going on at EA, but this is concerning:

    Mercedes $1200 Acceleration Boost Subscription

    $1,200 per year for a subscription to boost 0-60 times. This subscription thing is going to get out of hand quickly I feel.

    Ford Raises F150 Lightning Prices Again

    2nd price raise in pretty short order. Within 2 months the F150 Lightning base model has gone from under $40k to $52k (all other trims increased too). The sub-$40k Lightning has gone the way of the $35k Tesla Model 3 :). I’m pretty sure they were losing money hand over fist with the original...

    Rivian Q3 Production

    Produced 7,363 & delivered 6,584 (analyst expectation was 7,000 deliveries). They generally seem to be on track for their 25,000 in 2022 target. https://rivian.com/newsroom/article/rivian-produced-7363-vehicles-in-q3-2022

    Crash Testing?

    I checked NHTSA.gov and IIHS.org but didn’t see any crash test ratings for Lucid. A little surprising, as deliveries started October last year. I assumed that all cars for sale in the US would be tested by at least one of these entities but perhaps this only applies once a certain number of...

    Rivian Q2 earnings

    I was mainly interested in whether Rivian would adjust their 2022 production outlook. They reiterated their 25,000 target in their earnings report today. That would mean about 18,000 vehicles total for 2nd half of the year.

    Chevy Bolt $6k Refund…with strings attached

    Chevy announced a couple months back they would be reducing prices for future Bolts and as a goodwill gesture would also refund recent purchasers about $6k. Sounds great and very generous but apparently accepting the $6k refund requires owners to sign away their right to ever sue for battery...

    New Tesla Dual Purpose Charger?

    Accessibility diagram from drawings for a new MA supercharger location. The right is the current V3 charger. Left is presumably the new V4. Drawing is more schematic but main takeaway is longer cable. Single cable only. Could mean this is not a dual purpose location, OR they have a way for a...

    Rivian Announces Q2 Production

    4,401 produced and 4,467 delivered. This includes the R1T and Amazon van…maybe a very small number of R1S.

    US EV Registrations - 41% in CA

    I thought this was interesting. Total EV registrations. I knew CA would be at the top but was surprised by how much- 41% of all EVs in the US are in CA. CA is also well ahead on a per capita basis : 1.074 for every 100 people, with WA 2nd at 0.630 per 100 people. Ona per capita basis CA has...

    More Jalopnik Anti-EV Hits

    Even Crazy Gas Prices Can’t Convince Americans to Buy EVs, Says New Survey. What used to be a somewhat entertaining auto-focused website now seems to be fully anti-EV. ( I’m giving the link via Apple News because their own website is an ad-bloated unusable piece of trash.)...

    Lucid Announces Deal for Purchase of Up to 100,000 EVs

    Government of Saudi Arabia to buy up to 100,000 Lucids over next 10 years. Essentially this is the majority shareholder buying from their own company (right?) but should help the stock price (and give them something positive to announce on next weeks call!)...
