what happened
Stocktwits reported that Tesla unveiled its redesigned Roadster on Thursday at a SpaceX test site near Waco, Texas. The car uses technology borrowed from SpaceX, including cold gas thrusters that let it flip in midair. Vehicle engineering chief Lars Moravy said the car can go from 0 to 60 mph in under one second, with a top speed above 230 mph and range above 300 miles. Production is slated for 2028, and a base reservation is listed at $50,000.
Rivian said future vehicles will be able to run AI agents from outside companies, while Lucid plans to start deliveries in France in the first quarter of 2027. Chinese regulators approved the Ford and Geely joint venture without conditions, and GM reaffirmed its exit from robotaxis.
why it matters
According to Stocktwits, TSLA is down 21% year to date, LCID has fallen 70% and RIVN 34%, while GM and F have moved by single-digit percentages. For the broader market these updates are mostly company-level product and market-entry news, so direct effects on indices should be limited. Sentiment around electric vehicle stocks remains weak, however, and investors will watch launch timelines closely.
