BYD (BYDDY) Q3 profit jumps 28% on exports, but inventory balloons 60%
By Fred Lambert
BYD’s Q3 2026 earnings are out, and net profit jumped 28% year-over-year to ¥10.02 billion as the Chinese automaker shipped more than half a million vehicles out of the country in just three months. But the rest of the filing is messier. BYD’s inventory is up 60% since January, its cash pile has shrunk by almost half, and profit is still down for the first nine months of the year. BYD is still operating at a high level, but its business is changing. more…

By Fred Lambert

BYD reported about 869,600 employees at the end of 2025, which means the Chinese automaker has added roughly 150,000 people in 10 months while its vehicle sales are down. more…

Dems introduce new $15,000 EV tax credit bill that has no chance — and that’s a problem
By Fred Lambert
Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH) wants to bring back the federal EV tax credit and double it. His new bill, the “21st Century Vehicle Choice Act” (H.R. 10881), would offer up to $15,000 on a new electric vehicle and $8,000 on a used one, and it would make both credits permanent. The problem is that the bill has virtually no chance of becoming law anytime soon. And if EV shoppers start holding out for it, it could end up hurting the market it’s trying to help. more…

Tesla’s rocket-shaped Robotaxi map in Houston is partly ‘fake’
By Fred Lambert
Tesla’s new rocket-shaped Robotaxi service area in Houston includes parts of downtown where the service won’t actually pick you up, according to Ethan McKanna, the creator of Robotaxi Tracker and former Tesla employee. McKanna rode the service after Monday’s expansion and called Houston “by far the most egregious ‘fake’ AV service area” he has seen. One trip quote had him spending about 40 minutes in a Robotaxi to go two blocks. more…

The five open roles include a sales manager, a service manager, and a charging project developer. It’s a tough market to walk into. VinFast, the local all-electric automaker, has sold roughly 36% of every new car in Vietnam this year, more than its next five competitors combined. more…

By Fred Lambert
Ford has now produced more than 5,000 large aluminum “unicastings” for the Fathom, its upcoming $28,350 midsize electric pickup, as it fine-tunes the process ahead of a 2027 launch. Each truck gets two of them, front and rear, replacing 146 individual parts.

Tesla Semi catches fire on I-880 with no crash, closes freeway for 10 hours
By Fred Lambert
A Tesla Semi caught fire on Interstate 880 in Hayward, California, on Tuesday evening, and there was no crash. The electric truck’s lithium-ion battery burned long enough to keep the southbound freeway closed for about 10 hours. The driver got out unhurt. But a Class 8 electric truck catching fire on its own, in traffic, is something Tesla and its growing list of Semi customers need to explain. more…

By Fred Lambert

It’s the first public sign that Walmart could become Rivian’s next big van customer after Amazon. Neither company has announced a deal.
