AD #3737 - GM Brings Back Plug-In Hybrids to U.S.; Musk’s Tesla Pay Package Voided; EV Sales Drop in California
About this episode
Elon Musk's $55 billion Tesla pay package was voided by a Delaware judge amid shareholder concerns, though he may appeal. EV sales in California have dropped for two consecutive quarters, signaling a slowdown in a key market. GM plans to reintroduce plug-in hybrids in the US to meet emissions standards amid EV production challenges. Other highlights include Nissan's move to cheaper LFP batteries for emerging markets, BMW's refreshed 4 Series with mild hybrid tech, Jeep's upcoming 600-hp electric SUV, and Honda's wireless Apple CarPlay upgrade for older Accords. AI-driven video data curation for autonomous driving is also gaining traction.
