General Motors writes down $6 billion as domestic EV sales plans change

GM's $6B EV Writedown: When Product Plans Meet Reality

General Motors just took a $6 billion hit after canceling contracts and scaling back its domestic EV roadmapโ€”a stark reminder that the EV pivot isn't working out like the press releases promised. This isn't accounting fiction; it's real money spent on tooling, supplier commitments, and platforms that won't see production. The bean counters finally caught up with the hype.

GM bet the company on EV volume that never materialized, and now they're paying the price in real dollars while everyone pretends this was the plan all along.

Mustang GTD Deliveries Outpace Global Hypercar Rivals in 2025

Ford's Shipping More Mustang GTDs Than Bugatti and Rimac Combinedโ€”And That Says Everything

The Mustang GTD hit more garages in 2025 than Bugatti Tourbillon and Rimac Nevera combined, a metric that reveals less about Ford's success and more about what 'hypercar' actually means now. When volume-production muscle cars outpace six-figure exotics in delivery numbers, you're not looking at competitionโ€”you're watching market fragmentation. The GTD is genuinely quick on track. The others are selling mythology.

Using delivery volume to compare a $300k track-focused Mustang to million-dollar hypercars is like bragging that F-150s outsell Paganisโ€”technically true, completely meaningless.

Zeekr 8X breaks cover as a big, posh plug-in hybrid SUV

Zeekr 8X: Chinese OEM finally gets the PHEV formula rightโ€”300km EV range, 1000kW, and it actually matters

Zeekr's incoming 8X is a properly-spec'd plug-in hybrid SUV with 300km+ of electric-only range and north of 1000kW total output. The specs read credible for onceโ€”this isn't marketing theater, it's a direct shot at the gap between EV skeptics and traditional SUV buyers that legacy OEMs still don't understand.

Chinese makers keep shipping PHEVs that actually work while Detroit and Stuttgart are still arguing about whether to commit. The 8X lands when the market's finally ready to stop caring where the badge comes from.
