Leapmotor has broken into North America for the first time with the launch of the B10 compact SUV in Mexico. The launch, timed to coincide with Mexico’s partial hosting of the FIFA World Cup, gives Leapmotor a foothold in a region where its Stellantis-backed expansion has otherwise struggled to garner a foothold. Entering the Mexican market has been in the works for quite some time: the B10 spent more than a year undergoing localisation testing at Stellantis’s automotive engineering and testing centre in the country. It was tuned specifically for high-altitude terrain, desert conditions, and rainforest climates before clearing local regulatory certification. Leapmotor’s C10 and C16 SUVs are set to follow in due course, targeting family and multi-passenger buyers. The Mexican-spec B10 arrives as a range-extended electric vehicle, with a 1.5-litre engine acting solely as a generator for an 18.8 kWh battery and 160kW electric motor, giving it a combined range of up to 990 km. Notably, the model’s sticker price starts at MXN 575,000 (US$32,895), somewhat cheaper than the roughly US$37,045 equivalent price in Germany. Leapmotor is leaning entirely on Stellantis’ existing infrastructure rather than building a network from scratch, launching through more than 40 authorised outlets with plans to expand into smaller cities over time. After-sales support runs through Stellantis’ Mopar division, whose 45,000-square-metre parts centre in Toluca stocks more than 50,000 components and can supply dealerships nationwide within 24 to 48 hours. The launch comes as Leapmotor’s global momentum accelerates: cumulative deliveries surpassed 1.5 million units in June, having taken just eight months to climb from one million. More reliant on global sales than most of its Chinese counterparts—save perhaps BYD and Chery—the automaker is now targeting one million total deliveries for 2026 alone. Mexico is only the first piece of a wider North American plan being

If you’ve always wanted a Polestar but didn’t want to pay for one, now may be the time. In late June, Polestar announced it was leaving the United States market after the Commerce Department refused to give it a pass under the new Connected Vehicle Rule, which blocks cars with China-linked connected software starting with the 2027 model year. Polestar didn’t seem that concerned, noting that most of its sales were in Europe anyway. You know, where people buy EVs. However, it didn’t leave without leaving Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 models sitting in dealership inventories. And now those models are getting serious discounts. Serious as in “luxury EV for Camry money” serious. Polestar 3 and 4 deals in the United States The Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 are not cheap, with stickers starting around $67,500 and $56,400-$57,800, respectively. They were part of the whole “EVs are too expensive, and new cars are exploding in price” thing that’s been discussed in the past few years. But right now, cash buyers can get a $25,000 “Polestar Clean Vehicle Incentive” on the Polestar 4, and up to $23,000 off the Polestar 3. The offer runs from July 1 through July 31, and you have to take delivery before it expires. So no, you can’t sleep on this one until Labor Day. The math, per Motor1: the rear-motor Polestar 4 drops to $32,800, and the configurator was even flashing $31,400 late last week. That’s a 272-hp, 310-mile luxury crossover with no rear window for the price of a mid-trim Camry. If you spend $39,300 (seen as low as $37,900), you get the dual-motor version with 544 hp. The Polestar 3 now starts at $44,500 for the Long Range Single Motor, down from $67,500, with the Dual Motor at $50,400 from $73,400. All three

President Donald Trump issued pardons for nine people convicted of violating the Clean Air Act ahead of the July 4th weekend, according to the White House. The President initially announced the pardons on his social media platform, Truth Social, on July 3. Initially, President Trump said he signed pardons for six aftermarket diesel tuners who were "persecuted by the Biden Administration" for simply "fixing their car." Reporting from the Associated Press later clarified that nine of the 11 people pardoned on July 3 were connected to Clean Air Act violations and charged with disabling emissions monitoring systems or selling devices that bypassed emissions systems under the Biden Administration. White House officials confirmed the identity of those pardoned to CBS News and the AP. "It is my Great Honor to have just signed Pardons for six people who were persecuted by the Biden Administration, and were in, or being sent to, prison, for 'fixing their car.' While I know this sounds ridiculous, it is nevertheless a fact, and part of the Weaponization and Stupidity that our Country had to endure during four long years of Sleepy Joe Biden. I AM SETTING THEM ALL FREE, RIGHT NOW," President Trump said on Truth Social. These pardons come after the Environmental Protection Agency delivered a memo on July 1 that affirmed the freedom to fix for all Americans. The memo specifically centered on right-to-repair for non-road diesel equipment and the modification of diesel exhaust fluid systems. Anti-tampering laws related to diesel emissions systems in the Clean Air Act (CAA) were reportedly limiting Americans from efficiently repairing their vehicles, according to the EPA memo. "The CAA clearly states that temporary overrides of emission control systems are allowed when it is for the “purpose of repair” to that equipment to obtain proper functionality. EPA’s guidance, therefore,

Soccer season has a way of starting at exactly the wrong time. You’re running errands, waiting in the parking lot, or stuck away from the TV when the match finally kicks off. While your car screen is great for maps and music, it’s usually not set for match day streaming. That’s what Ottocast wants to change this Summer Soccer Celebration. OttoAibox E2, OttoAibox P3 Pro, and Play2Video Ultra turn compatible car displays into entertainment hubs. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, streaming apps, and split-screen multitasking are included without replacing your car’s built-in head unit. Ottocast gives you a much better way to stay connected to the match. Table of contents Your car screen, upgraded for match day Ottocast’s appeal is simple: your car’s display doesn’t have to stop at navigation and audio. Plug in an Ottocast device, and your dashboard becomes a screen for live match apps, highlights, scores, music, video, and more. That matters during a major tournament because the problem is not just watching an entire match from the couch. It’s the moments in between, like the early goal you missed while picking someone up, the score update you want during a long drive, or the passenger who wants to follow commentary while the route stays on screen. On supported Ottocast products, split-screen multitasking is the key feature. Navigation can stay open on one side while passengers follow scores, commentary, messaging, or media on the other. It makes the car a connected cabin built for real travel days. OttoAibox E2: the smart all-around upgrade The OttoAibox E2 is the easiest place to start if you want a modern in-car smart system with streaming, apps, and wireless connectivity. It runs Android 13 with OttoDrive 2.5, includes 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, and supports both wireless CarPlay and

If you’ve been watching our videos, you know I keep an eye on all the ways new technology and rules are quietly changing what it means to own and drive your own car. We’ve talked about speed limiters, kill switches, driver monitoring, and all the data your vehicle is already collecting. Today I want to bring you something that’s moving fast and most people have no idea about yet. And I won’t blame you if this gets you mad. Those license plate cameras you see on highways, overpasses, and street corners? They’re not just reading tags anymore. A new system being sold to police and installed everywhere by government agencies are right now tracking your phones, smartwatches, car infotainment screens, pet trackers riding inside your vehicle, even health devices that many people wear. First, let’s talk about the cameras. They’re called Automatic License Plate Readers or ALPRs for short. They are also known as Flock cameras – that may be the company’s name, but they definitely see us as a flock of sheep. Police departments, toll authorities, and even some private companies have been using these types of cameras for years. They snap a picture of your plate plus your face, log the time and location, and store it in big databases. It started as a tool that was claimed to be for finding stolen cars or Amber Alerts. That part makes sense could make sense if that was all. But the databases got huge, now they have billions of scans, and the data sticks around, even though we were told otherwise. Sometimes it gets shared. Sometimes it gets used in ways that go way beyond catching criminals. Many times this data is sold to multiple companies from technology, to health care, to insurance, or even just whoever happens to

Good morning and welcome to The Downshift, or TDS for short, The Drive‘s news roundup that gathers the biggest automotive headlines from around the globe. The Downshift summarizes stories into a couple of sentences and provides a link for those seeking more information. We hope you had a great Fourth of July weekend. Here’s what’s cooking on Monday morning. 🆕 The long-wheelbase, three-row Tesla Model Y is now on sale in the U.S. as a makeshift replacement for the larger, discontinued Model X. This version of the electric crossover first went on sale last year in China and earlier this year in Australia. [Automotive News] 📈 In other Tesla news, the EV maker just had its best quarter in years, delivering 480,126 vehicles worldwide. That’s around 80,000 more than analysts expected, and a whole 25% better than Q2 2025. Analysts believe strong performance in China and Europe was responsible for the jump. [Bloomberg] 💥 Finally, the first known fatal crash involving a Tesla Semi occurred last week in Nevada, when the tractor-trailer struck a vintage Volkswagen Beetle and killed both its occupants. Full Self-Driving is not offered on the Semi, and, while investigators are still working to determine the cause of the crash, “Preliminary statements obtained at the scene suggest the driver of the truck might have fallen asleep,” according to the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office.

The Polestar brand is on its way out of the U.S. market, thanks to the U.S. government's Connected Car Rule regulating the Swedish-based-but-largely-Chinese-owned company away, but it’s not going quietly. For those willing to take a chance on a brand that soon won’t exist here, Polestar has a fire sale going on that you won’t want to miss. As first brought to broader attention by Jalopnik, the deals are impressive. If you’re a cash buyer, the Swedish EV company is offering a whopping $25,000 off its Polestar 4, or $23,000 off a Polestar 3. For reference, a Polestar 4 starts at $57,800; chop $25,000 off that, and you’re left with a $32,800 dent for an awesome electric luxury sedan / hatchback / crossover. The Polestar 3 is a pricier proposition, but after the discount, you’re only looking at $45,900 for a base model. All the above said, it might be tough (or impossible) to find examples at those prices considering most cars still on the lot will be loaded up with a number of options. The discounts aren’t only for cash buyers either. You can finance through Polestar with 0 percent APR and still get an $18,000 credit on the Polestar 4. Leasing for cheap is also on the table. Polestar 4 leases start at $399 per month for 39 months with $1000 due at signing. Meanwhile, the Polestar 3 lease deal stands at $579 per month for 27 months and a $5000 down payment. Both of these lease deals assume 7500 miles per year, with penalties for going over that distance. You can stack additional discounts on top of these ones, too. For example, Polestar has a $1000 loyalty bonus for those purchasing or leasing a Polestar 4. Things are even more sweet for the Polestar 3 in this

Polestar didn’t get recalled, didn’t get sued into oblivion, and hasn’t gone bankrupt. It just got told by the U.S. government that it can’t sell new cars here past the 2027 model year, and its response has been to slash prices on what’s left in the showroom by as much as $25,000. That’s not marketing spin. That’s a company trying to move metal before the clock runs out. The mechanism here is easy to miss on first read. On June 25, 2026, Polestar filed a report with the SEC telling investors that the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security declined to grant it an authorization under the Connected Vehicle Rule to keep selling vehicles in America starting with the 2027 model year. Existing 2025 Polestar 3 and 2026 Polestar 4 inventory is unaffected and can still be sold, serviced, and warrantied. What ends is Polestar’s ability to bring anything new into the country after that. The Connected Vehicle Rule itself predates this specific decision by about a year and a half. The Bureau of Industry and Security finalized it in January 2025 and it took effect that March, and it regulates software and hardware rather than sheet metal. Vehicles under 10,001 pounds fall under two deadlines: automakers owned or controlled by Chinese or Russian interests lose the right to sell model-year 2027 vehicles running covered software, and by model year 2030 the ban extends to importing the connectivity hardware itself, things like telematics control units and cellular modules that let a car communicate outside the vehicle. Automakers who aren’t violating those rules still have to file annual paperwork proving it. Here’s the part that should annoy anyone who assumed this was about where a car gets bolted together: Polestar 3 rolls off the line in Ridgeville, South

In EV, battery and charging news are Vattenfall InCharge, WirelessCar, BMW Group, EVelution Energy, Wallbox and CATL. In this Article Vattenfall InCharge and WirelessCar Collaborate on Seamless Charging Solution Vattenfall InCharge and automotive telematics platform provider WirelessCar announced the completion of a pilot phase for Seamless Charging, a cloud-based service designed to automate electric vehicle charging authentication and payment processing without dedicated applications or physical RFID cards. The over-the-air platform leverages connected vehicle telemetry and API orchestration to synchronize signals between the vehicle and the charging station infrastructure, triggering automatic session initiation and billing upon physical plug-in connection. The service architecture relies on established industry protocols to securely transfer data across an ecosystem of vehicles, management platforms, and charging networks. The pilot program involved more than 700 electric vehicle drivers testing the technology across public AC and DC charging networks in Sweden, the Netherlands, and Germany. Initial deployment supports Volvo and Tesla models equipped with compatible onboard connectivity hardware. To initialize the service, users complete a one-time setup within their digital charging account and approve telemetry data-sharing permissions through the respective vehicle manufacturer’s secure authentication portal. The cloud infrastructure then matches the real-time geographic coordinates and state-of-charge parameters of the vehicle with the specific charging point identifier to eliminate manual customer steps. Commercial deployment is scheduled for autumn and winter across Vattenfall InCharge’s public network of more than 40,000 charging points. WirelessCar positions the backend service as a mechanism to eliminate roaming complexity and multi-network fragmentation, enabling hardware co-design and direct vehicle-to-grid communication. The platform acts as a standalone software-as-a-service layer that can be integrated by external original equipment manufacturers and digital mobility service providers to streamline charging logistics and driver verification workflows.

Subaru reports its all-new 2027 Trailseeker will arrive this fall with a starting price of $39,995—the same MSRP as the outgoing model. At a time when many manufacturers continue to grapple with the economics of electrification, maintaining pricing while substantially upgrading performance sends a clear message: Subaru believes value has become one of the most important features an EV can offer. The Trailseeker also reflects Subaru’s effort to answer a question that has lingered over the industry’s transition to electric power: Can an EV still feel like a Subaru? For decades, the brand has built its reputation around practical all-wheel-drive vehicles capable of venturing beyond paved roads. The Trailseeker attempts to carry that identity into the electric era without abandoning the characteristics that have defined the company. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive remains central to the vehicle’s design, but engineers have reworked the system for an electric powertrain. The dual-motor setup continuously manages power distribution between the front and rear axles while coordinating regenerative braking to improve traction on snow, gravel, mud and changing pavement conditions. The numbers are striking. With 375 horsepower, the Trailseeker accelerates from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 4.3 seconds, making it the quickest production Subaru ever sold in the United States. Yet outright speed is not the vehicle’s primary story. Subaru pairs that performance with 8.5 inches of ground clearance, X-MODE off-road drive modes, hill descent control and the ability to tow up to 3,500 pounds—specifications aimed squarely at customers who spend weekends hauling camping gear, bikes or small trailers. Range, meanwhile, lands in the increasingly competitive middle of today’s EV market. Powered by a 74.7-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery, the Trailseeker delivers up to 281 miles of EPA-estimated driving range, depending on trim. While it doesn’t chase the industry’s highest range figures, Subaru appears

World Connected Car Systems - Market Analysis, Forecast, Size, Trends and Insights - Full report in PDF · Excel data package · Word document · Executive presentation - Email delivery 24/7 any day, weekends and holidays included - Content copy-paste enabled · printable format - Unlimited clarification rounds after delivery Connected Car Systems Market to Surpass $180 Billion by 2035 Driven by 5G-V2X and Software-Defined Vehicle Adoption Abstract According to the latest IndexBox report on the global Connected Car Systems market, the market enters 2026 with broader demand fundamentals, more disciplined procurement behavior, and a more regionally diversified supply architecture. The global Connected Car Systems market is entering a structural growth phase as embedded connectivity becomes a baseline requirement for new vehicles across all segments. By 2026, over 70% of new passenger cars will ship with factory-installed telematics control units, up from an estimated 55% in 2023, propelled by regulatory mandates such as the EU's eCall directive and UN Regulation No. 155 on cybersecurity. The shift toward software-defined vehicle architectures is unbundling hardware from services, enabling over-the-air (OTA) updates and creating recurring revenue streams for OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers. Semiconductor content per connected vehicle has risen 30-40% since 2020, with system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for V2X and infotainment commanding a growing share of bill-of-materials costs. Supply constraints for advanced microcontrollers and RF components, though easing from 2022-2023 peaks, continue to create lead-time variability of 12-18 weeks for certain integrated modules, reinforcing the importance of multi-sourcing strategies. The market encompasses telematics control units (TCUs), V2X modules, in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) platforms, antenna systems, ADAS sensors, OTA update platforms, and cybersecurity software. Demand is driven by consumer expectations for real-time navigation, usage-based insurance, and fleet management, while commercial vehicle operators prioritize fuel efficiency and regulatory compliance. The aftermarket segment is expanding as retrofit kits

Would A Massive Discount Entice You To Buy A Polestar 4? After being banned from selling cars in the United States, you can score an entire Corolla off a new Polestar 4. THE BREAKDOWN - Polestar is offering up to a $25,000 discount on new Polestar 4 models. - 0% APR financing for up to 60 months available. - $399 per month lease with a $1,000 down payment. The Polestar brand is dead in the United States. More accurately, the Swedish electric vehicle manufacturer can no longer sell cars in the country starting with the 2027 model year due to a new Connected Vehicles Rule from the US Department of Commerce. That means Polestar will need to clear out its existing inventory, and if you are willing to buy from a dead brand, you could score a massive discount. How big of a discount? Pop over to the Polestar website, and you will see a "$25,000 Polestar Clean Vehicle Incentive," which can be applied toward a cash purchase. The deal is valid from July 1st to July 31st, 2026. As the website hints, the $25,000 discount is only eligible if you pay for the Polestar 4 in cash, which is not something many buyers can or want to do even when a company hasn’t just been banned from selling cars in the US. If you do have the cash burning a hole in your bank account, a new 2026 Polestar 4 currently starts at $57,800 for the rear motor car. The $25,000 discount pulls that down to just $32,800, around the same price as a Toyota Camry. Assuming you want a dual motor car, this model was priced higher at $64,300. However, with the tremendous discount, even this model is now pretty affordable at just $39,300. The rear motor car
