General Motors wants to quickly expand its portfolio of electric vehicles in coming years, but it apparently doesn’t expect to make any money from selling them until 2025. This has not been confirmed yet, but according to one newly published report, GM chief executive officer Marry Barra will announce on November 17 that the company’s…
In typical Elon Musk style, Tesla started slowly rolling out its Full Self-Driving Capability beta package version 11 on November 11, 2022 (11/11), at 11:11 PM.

Kia reports that its global vehicle sales in October increased by 8.6% year-over-year to 238,660 units. This allowed the company to improve the year-to-date result to 2.41 million units (up 2.6%).
