Phones and electronics aren’t the only things that people are rushing to buy before the dreaded tariff tax hits, thanks to the Trump administration’s ongoing trade war with the world. According to research from Cox Automotive, the supply of new and used vehicles is starting to dwindle as consumers rush to secure a car before the price tag skyrockets. The analysis shows that the supply of new vehicles on the market, calculated by using an estimated daily sales rate, crashed from 91 days in March

The never-ending Trump tariff saga continues. Tesla has halted Model S and X sales in China, according to reporting by Bloomberg . These particular vehicles are imported to the country from the US so they are impacted by a 125 percent tariff on goods flowing into China. This was enacted by China in response to President Trump placing a 145 percent tariff on imported goods from the country. This isn’t a huge deal for Tesla, as the high-end Model S and Model X are some of the company’s least-popu

Tesla just announced its results for the first three months of 2025, and they represent the steepest sales decline in company history. Deliveries fell by 50,000 vehicles, to 336,681 cars, down 13% from the same period last year. Most analysts were expecting a large sales decline, in part because numbers coming out of Europe have not been good, and because Tesla temporarily closed some factories to update production lines for the new Model Y.

When surveys ask potential car buyers why they’re not going electric, the answer is consistent: It’s the charging. Drivers understand gas; plugging in, less so. They’re worried about waiting around for a charger, which, depending on its power, can take anywhere between 20 minutes and eight hours to fill up a battery. So the hubbub around a surprise announcement from Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD makes sense. The automaker said this week that two new vehicles set to launch in April will be

The Tesla Cybertruck hit the streets in December 2023, and since then it's made its way everywhere from city streets to Fortnite and Rocket League. But the road hasn't always been smooth for the sharp-angled Cybertruck; Tesla has so far issued eight recalls for the stainless steel pickup. The first seven recalls were all in 2024, but on March 18, 2025, the Cybertruck's first recall of the year was announced. It involves a trim panel attached with a glue that might not hold the panel in place.

Founder Wang Chuanfu said this "super e-platform" tech offers a peak charging speed of 1,000 kilowatts, twice that of the 500 kw charging currently offered by Tesla's superchargers. That would mean a car can travel 249 miles (400 kilometers) from a five-minute charge on a BYD station.
