In August, Battery Electric vehicles outsold both petrol and diesel in Australia for the first time. Here's why.

Tesla has released dashcam footage from the Roadster event showing the acceleration, kickflip, and yeeting off the ramp
BMW is developing an in-house P2P Level 2 driving system to compete with Tesla’s TAD, with availability in the BMW iX3, iX4, all models in the 3 Series, 7 Series and X5 range, as well as many subsequent models.
The system is designed to comply with UNECE R171 (DCAS Series 2). Best of luck to BMW. Self driving is HARD.
Waymo will fit out Toyota bZ4X autonomous vehicles in Japan in 2027, paving the way for the country’s 1st autonomous ride-hailing service.

Holy shit, Mad Max is so fucking good! Navigated the most horrendous, chaotic, people just swerving in front of you, stopping, turning, most poorly designed road ever.
As smooth as ever, with no care in the world. A couple times I would’ve slammed on the brakes but I didn’t even feel the slightest g-force discomfort.
I keep meaning to make a post on Mad Max, but holy shit I am a fan! Love it ❤️

Spread the word guys! I’m pretty sure this is the solution for the RBD (Right Bias Disease)
Ford CEO, Jim Farley says the efficiency of motors, gearbox and inverters in Ford's upcoming UEV platform in late 2027 are about 30 per cent more efficient than BYD. I look forward to the real world testing comparing it to a BYD of late 2027 to see if that's true (it probably won't be). Legacy auto love to talk big and fall short.
Orders for the updated 2027 Zeekr 7X open today (Nov 1). Aussie deliveries expected some time in December. Here's what's changed:
The car is a real hit with the kids. Well done @Tesla. Looks great at night!

Just has the most wholesome interaction in a carpark by the beach after I had a sauna + sunset ocean swim with a couple mates.
Went to show them Halloween mode on my car. A couple mins I noticed a father with a baby girl and little boy watching and staring.
The boy wanted to see. Ended up spending the next 20 mins showing the little boy Halloween mode, the Halloween light show and talking through the cars speakers with the app.
He was 6 or so but told me he wants one now. Told him it drives himself and his mind was blown. The father said Elon is a fucking legend.
Even though connecting the Aussie shores isn't the best choice financially for Tesla, and would be extremely difficult logistically, I still believe they should do it anyway. Make it a priority even.
