XPeng starts IRON humanoid robot production as Tesla Optimus stalls
By Fred Lambert
XPeng has switched on what it calls the world’s first automated production line for advanced humanoid robots, and its IRON robot walked off that line under its own power. The Chinese automaker says the line runs with more than 80% of its core processes automated. It’s the clearest signal yet that IRON is headed for real manufacturing and not just stage demos. XPeng is targeting mass production by the end of 2026. more…

This family of four put 1,000 km on a cargo e-bike instead of buying a second car
By Micah Toll
I’ve been working in the electric bike industry for nearly two decades, and publicly reviewing e-bikes for around half of that. I used to say I’ve touched hundreds of e-bikes, but now that I’ve lost count, I wouldn’t be surprised to find I need to add a digit to that. With so many saddles that I have to sit on, I get to ride a lot of e-bikes for a few weeks, but I rarely get to spend months on any one bike. So when I finished my one-month review of the Xtracycle Hopper electric cargo bike and had a unique opportunity for a longer-term project, I jumped on it. My best friend and his wife have…

A Tesla ran a stop sign and killed a man, record confirms Full Self-Driving/Autopilot was on
By Fred Lambert
A Tesla Model 3 ran a stop sign in Buena Vista Township, New Jersey, and hit a Honda Civic turning left through the intersection. The Civic’s driver, 82-year-old Stephen Field, was killed. Police reported it as a car that failed to stop. What no one reported is that Tesla’s own data says the car’s driver-assist system was engaged. This is part of an ongoing Electrek investigation matching reported crashes to Tesla’s redacted NHTSA data. more…

If a Tesla Cybercab fleet were profitable, Tesla wouldn’t sell you one
By Fred Lambert
Tesla is now asking businesses whether they’d like to buy and operate their own fleets of Cybercab robotaxis on its network. It’s the same pitch Elon Musk has been making since 2019: buy the cars, put them to work, and earn money while you sleep. There’s one problem with it. And it never happened, and you shouldn’t fall for it now. If running a fleet of Cybercabs were actually profitable, Tesla wouldn’t sell you a single one. more…
Review: Engwe’s $900 Eagle isn’t just the best-priced 45mph mini eMoto
By Seth Weintraub
Engwe came to us a month ago with the Eagle and asked if we’d like to review it. The eMoto looks and is specced a lot like some of the other 14/12″ mullet mini eMotos that have flooded the market over the past year, which wasn’t immediately enticing. However, the Eagle smashes through that $1000 price point to $899 after coupon code ELECTREKCO (plus some limited-time gifts). We thought it would be useful to see how they did it and what we found might surprise you. more…

While battery-powered scooters and e-bikes have increasingly pushed into affordable territory, highway-capable electric motorcycles still tend to carry fairly hefty price tags. Evoke Motorcycles is hoping to change that with its newly unveiled 2027 Evoke Nrgy, a lightweight electric motorcycle targeting a starting price of just $4,995. more…

Another Chinese EV myth busted as GAC, Geely, and Leapmotor ace Euro NCAP
By Jo Borrás
Somewhere, a guy in Pit Vipers is recording a Facebook video from the front seat of his pickup claiming that Chinese EVs aren’t just inferior to American V8 iron – they’re unsafe, too. Unfortunately for him, the latest EVs from GAC, Geely, and Leapmotor just aced the brutally demanding Euro NCAP safety tests. more…

Audi A2 e-tron: Rethinking efficiency
The Audi A2 e-tron puts efficiency at the center of attention. With energy consumption of 12.8 kWh/100 km according to WLTP, it consumes less energy than any other series-production model from the brand before it.
