Tesla cuts prices nearly across the board and appears to be pushing more people into Full Self Driving. Disney is making a well-liked automotive ride all-electric. Airless tires appear to be the long run. And do in-wheel motors make more sense for EV conversions? This and more, here at Green Automotive Reports.
The Tesla Model Y undercuts the Model 3 by $5,000—for individuals who are EV tax credit eligible—under the most recent round of Tesla price cuts made on Saturday. With it, the bottom Model Y rear-wheel drive could cost just $37,130, with other state incentives yet to be deducted. Tesla has also dropped the worth of what it calls Full Self Driving to $8,000, but it surely’s eliminated the favored $6,000 Enhanced Autopilot option.
Michelin believes that airless tires are the long run. But with this tech that may very well be especially well-suited for robotaxis, EVs, and more still under development and on the prototype stage, the corporate can also be specializing in other tech like sustainable materials and retreads.
The U.K.-based company that now owns Protean in-wheel motors has showcased a Land Rover Defender EV conversion that doesn’t gain weight in the interpretation. Even though it’s modest in its electric range, the concept acts as a technology proof point and, perhaps, rather a lot more.
Disneyland has now confirmed that its Autopia ride will go fully electric in 2026. The attraction for teenagers, began with sponsorship by an oil company, has run for a long time with internal combustion mini-cars, but it surely’s alleged to represent the long run.
