Henrik Fisker’s Improbable Electric SUV Starts Rolling Off the Assembly Line

[ad_1] His first venture failed, and his latest one almost ran out of money. Then came the blank-check boom. Henrik Fisker rose around 5 a.m. Thursday to squeeze in a quick workout before making his way to a factory spanning the equivalent of more than 150 football fields. Hours later, camera crews captured an unlikely milestone made possible by the blank-check boom: The first Ocean, Fisker Inc.'s debut electric vehicle, rolled off the assembly line. The SUV zips from zero to 60 miles per hour in as little as 3.6 seconds and is expected to offer up to 350 miles (563 kilometers) of range, a smidge more than Tesla Inc.'s Model Y. The hero feature inside: a 17.1-inch center touchscreen that rotates at the press of a button for more enjoyable binging of YouTube videos and streaming servi...

Tesla Denies Blame for Deadly Model Y Crash Caught on Video in China

[ad_1] Data taken from the car showed no proof the brake pedal had been applied, and video showed the brake lights remained off. Tesla Inc. said it will assist a police investigation into a fatal crash involving a Model Y sports utility in China earlier this month, while suggesting the incident wasn't caused by a malfunction. Data taken from the car showed no proof the brake pedal had been applied before the crash, and video showed the brake lights remained off, the electric car maker said in a statement. Instead, the accelerator was heavily engaged in the lead up to the accident, which killed a motorcyclist and high-school student on a bicycle. Tesla said it will “actively provide any necessary aid” to the local police probe, which may involve a third-party investigator. The Nov. 5 ...

Tesla recall or not? Elon Musk Wants a Washington Agency to Embrace the Digital Age

[ad_1] Tesla will send out letters weeks from now about a recall it started addressing in September. A few weeks from now, Tesla will notify owners of almost 1.1 million vehicles about a safety issue the electric-car maker already started addressing last month. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration didn't force the manufacturer to make the fix — Tesla discovered the window glitch through internal testing and determined it warranted a voluntary recall. But the company is required by law to send out letters to each owner's mailboxes, and deem this a recall, even if it remedied the issue with an over-the-air (OTA) software update. Elon Musk isn't the only one who thinks this is anachronistic. Justin Demaree, who owns a Model 3 and a Model Y, has at least twice receiv...

Tesla just followed up a vehicle deliveries report that fell short of expectations with quarterly revenue that also was a bit lower than hoped, disappointing investors looking for a more clear-cut kibosh on debate over whether it's starting to have demand issues.Elon Musk has a broad target to grow sales around 50% annually. While the company now expects to fall just short of that mark this year, one of its models is climbing toward the top of global sales rankings. Tesla doesn't disclose the split in sales between its Model 3 sedan and Model Y sport utility vehicle, but given the latter's performance, maybe it should. BloombergNEF estimates that the company sold around 200,000 Model Ys in t...
