The new Tesla Model Y is about to land in the U.S. And when it does, it comes with more range—and a bigger price tag, at least at first. Tesla updated its U.S. website on Thursday with the refreshed Model Y that recently went on sale in China. There’s only one trim listed on the website currently, the Long Range all-wheel drive christened as the “Launch Series.” The automaker said deliveries of the U.S.-spec version would begin in March at $59,990 before factoring in destination, taxes and incentives. That makes this trim about $12,000 more expensive than the equivalent trim…
Tesla has officially launched the new Model Y in North America and Europe after launching it in China earlier this month. The difference is that Tesla is now taking orders for both the older and newer versions of its best-selling electric SUV. That’s a unique launch for Tesla. I don’t remember the automaker doing that before. After launching the new Model Y design refresh in China two weeks ago, Tesla is now starting to take orders for the refresh in North America and Europe. But it looks like the design refresh is still a transitional in Tesla’s production as the…

Stellantis has reportedly cancelled a bigger-battery version of the Ram 1500 REV electric pickup truck that the automaker previously said would offer 500 miles of range. According to a Wednesday Mopar Insiders report, the truck brand is now telling suppliers that the long-range model has been cancelled, and to cease work and spending on any parts related to it.

Chevrolet launched the Bolt EV in 2016, Ford introduced the Mustang Mach-E in 2020 and Tesla’s been doing its thing for far longer than that. Aside from compliance-car experiments like the Honda Fit EV, any Americans who wanted a battery-powered Honda had to wait until last year when the Prologue burst onto the scene. And as it turns out, there were a lot of Americans waiting for just that. Honda moved over 33,000 Prologues last year, landing it the No.7 spot among the best-selling electric models and…
