Tesla has reduced the price of the Model Y by $5,000 compared to the Model 3 for buyers who qualify for the EV tax credit, following a series of price reductions announced on Saturday. This adjustment could bring the starting price of the base Model Y with rear-wheel drive down to $37,130, before additional state discounts are applied. Additionally, Tesla has lowered the cost of its Full Self Driving feature to $8,000, while discontinuing the widely favored Enhanced Autopilot package, previously priced at $6,000.
Michelin is convinced that airless tires represent the way forward.

A company based in the U.K., which has acquired Protean and its in-wheel motor technology, recently displayed an electric version of the Land Rover Defender that maintains its original weight. Despite having a limited electric range, this conversion serves as a demonstration of the technology’s potential and possibly signifies broader applications.
Disneyland has officially announced that its Autopia attraction will switch to electric vehicles by 2026. Originally sponsored by an oil company, this children’s ride has operated with gas-powered mini-cars for many years, despite its theme of futuristic transportation.
