Jasion Poki review: The Electric Minibike that packs heavy-duty fun
By Seth Weintraub
In our transportation reporting, we rarely come across something as fun as today’s review of the Jasion Poki. The Poki is a severely overpowered electric minibike that looks like it came from yesteryear. If the power isn’t enough, it also packs some cool tricks, and we’re not (just) talking about wheelies this time. more…

Someone ran Rivian’s pedal-by-wire e-bike out of battery and things got weird
By Micah Toll
The ALSO TM-B is one of the most technologically interesting new e-bikes to hit the road in years, largely because it does away with one of the most fundamental parts of a bicycle: the mechanical connection between the pedals and rear wheel. With only copper wires connecting the pedals to the rear wheel, the TM-B is one of the most revolutionary new e-bikes in years. But that raises an obvious question. What happens when the battery dies? more…

By Fred Lambert
Rivian has started delivering the first major hardware upgrade to its electric van since production began in 2021: a bigger LFP battery pack good for 30% more range, and a new dual-motor AWD version. The company confirmed in its Q3 2026 shareholder presentation that deliveries of the new variants began in early October. That’s the first real spec bump for a van that has been stuck at about 160 miles of rated range for years. more…

By Peter Johnson

By Fred Lambert
Rivian (RIVN) just released its Q3 2026 earnings, with revenue up 38% year-over-year to $2.155 billion. The R2, in its first full quarter of deliveries, is already the company’s best-selling vehicle, ahead of both the R1 and the Amazon van. The results beat Wall Street’s expectations, and Rivian is raising its 2026 guidance on every metric. But the car business is still losing money, and the R2 ramp made the automotive margin worse this quarter. more…

Ex-Tesla Autopilot head calls vision-only a ‘weird religious stance’
By Fred Lambert
GM Chief Product Officer Sterling Anderson, who ran Tesla’s Autopilot program in 2015 and 2016, says dropping radar for a camera-only self-driving system is “a weird religious stance that ignores physics.” It’s the bluntest rebuke of Tesla’s vision-only bet yet from someone who helped build the original Autopilot. And it lands while Tesla is pushing camera-only Cybercabs into driverless service in Austin. more…

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.

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…
