TEN 301 - TESLA’S AMAZING QUARTER, MUSTANG MACH-E 1400, TESLA SUES RIVIAN

EV Channels Review

This episode of Transport Evolved News covers a range of significant developments in the EV space. A major highlight is Tesla's strong second-quarter financial performance, exceeding Wall Street expectations despite production challenges, and its confirmation of a new factory in Austin, Texas. The show also details the legal battle between Tesla and Rivian, with Tesla accusing former employees of stealing proprietary data. On the performance front, Ford and RTR unveiled the astonishing seven-motor, 1400-horsepower Mustang Mach-E 1400, a one-off halo car. Other key stories include Audi's bidirectional charging research, Jeep's plug-in Compass and Renegade for Europe, Renault's 300,000 EV milestone, and GM's strategic shift away from hydrogen fuel cells for passenger vehicles. The review notes the Mustang Mach-E 1400 is a "bonkers" halo car, tenuously linked to the production model but effective at turning heads. The piece also touches on the increasing affordability of EVs in the UK compared to petrol cars.
