From Trucked Up EVs. I have some concerns. Donut Lab has been very shrewd in how they’ve approached their reveal, both garnering global attention and also keeping a lot close to their chest to supposedly protect their interests from major players that could copy their discovery before they could ever get to market.

From Trucked Up EVs. Tesla finally addressed the elephant in the room last week: acknowledging that its Cybertruck prices were too high.

From Trucked Up EVs. It sure looks that way.

From Trucked Up EVs. Because of the US tariffs, there remains only one brand – General Motors – that still offers an EV truck under $100,000 for Canadian consumers, and who knows how long that will last?
