2. EV NEWS: BBC NEWS

Tesla is 'not interested' in producing cars in India - minister. Elon Musk-owned electric vehicle (EV) giant Tesla is "not interested in manufacturing in India", the country's heavy industries minister has said. The remarks were made on Monday as the Indian government issued detailed guidelines for a scheme to promote EV manufacturing in the country.

3. EV TIP: KEEP YOUR BATTERY
SOFTWARE UP TO DATE

EVs often rely on software updates as much as they do hardware updates. These software updates often include improvements to battery management, which can enhance both performance and longevity. Make it a habit to keep your EV’s software up to date. Smart cars will usually require over-the-air updates or automatic updates done through your car’s app when connected to WiFi.

4. EV PODCAST: TAKE IT EV

Thinking of swapping your car’s rumble for an EV’s silent zoom? In this episode, I am joined by Matt Donnelly, a Vegas magician prepping for the Foolers Live tour, who’s eager to ditch his 2016 Corolla but daunted by EV options. We dive into US EV life: conquering the 270-mile Vegas-to-LA trek, comparing Tesla’s slick chargers to Electrify America’s quirks, and how charging hubs are reviving desert stops.

5. EV REVIEW: EDMUNDS

Tesla Model Y 2026

Tesla Model Y 2026 The 2026 Tesla Model Y has a comfy interior for passengers and lots of space for your stuff. It's decently fun to drive, too, with quick acceleration and over 300 miles of driving range. The Y's advanced driving features that can significantly reduce the tedium of driving are icing on the cake. We think the updated Y is one of the best electric SUVs you can buy overall.
