Tesla

When Tesla first announced back in 2019 that they would produce an all-electric pickup truck starting from $39,900, people rushed to the automaker&#8217;s website and put their names on the waiting list. But at the end of 2021, Tesla removed any info regarding Cybertruck&#8217;s price and specifications from the pre-order page. <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cybertruck-orders-are-there" target="_blank" rel="noopener">All 1.7 million Cybertruck reservation holders</a> wonder: will Tesla honor its original Cybertruck price list?
After almost three and a half years, Tesla&#8217;s original price list for Cybertruck is not relevant today, because of inflation, material prices, chip shortage, etc. There&#8217;s a high chance that Tesla will not honor the Cybertruck prices. But this special all-electric pickup truck is designed in a way that it won&#8217;t be needing any paint or expensive aluminum parts. Instead, Tesla will use a paintless stainless steel exoskeleton body to reduce manufacturing costs. Lithium-ion batteries are also a lot cheaper than what they would cost in 2019. So, it&#8217;s definitely possible for Tesla to produce and sell Cybertrucks at the original price points.
<h2>Cheaper FSD for Cybertruck Reservation Holders!</h2>

Truth be told, Tesla is not obligated to honor the Cybertruck price list that was announced at the unveiling event and put online for two years. It&#8217;s, however, officially confirmed that FSD pricing is fixed for the Cybertruck reservation holders, which is half of what the FSD package costs today ($15,000). Even if Cybertruck gets a price bump, there&#8217;s a $7,500 cost advantage for the customers who chose FSD while ordering their pickup truck.

Will Tesla Honor Cybertruck Price? | FSD Price Advantage

It&#8217;s been more than three and a half years since Tesla unveiled Cybertruck. <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cybertruck-orders-are-there" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1.7 million people pre-ordered</a> this radically designed all-electric pickup. But the launch day is nowhere near to being announced. There have been some rumors regarding Tesla canceling the Cybertruck project. Even a highly popular YouTuber made a video with the title of &#8216;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B9mfn5NCcw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla Just Cancelled the Cybertruck</a>&#8216;. Is it true that Tesla canceled this highly anticipated project? Let&#8217;s do some fact-checking!
Tesla didn&#8217;t cancel or even consider canceling the Cybertruck. In fact, Elon Musk officially confirmed on multiple occasions that the electric pickup truck will go on sale in 2023. Although the Cybertruck is a very hard vehicle to put into mass production as its unique cold metal exoskeleton structure, Tesla is eager to start producing its first pickup truck. It&#8217;ll most likely be the most popular vehicle launched in 2023.

Tesla originally aimed to start Cybertruck production in 2021. The never-ending delays and Elon Musk&#8217;s &#8220;difficult to build&#8221; prompts regarding the Cybertruck convinced lots of people that the Cybertruck is really dead. Truth be told, it&#8217;s too hard to engineer and design a vehicle like that. But Tesla is publicly saying that design-wise, Cybertruck development is finalized. Tesla fans have been posting new Cybertruck prototype photos and videos almost every day since the beginning of this year. After a long wait, the Cybertruck is definitely coming out soon!

Is The Cybertruck Canceled?

IM Motors, a direct competitor to Tesla, is a high-end electric vehicle brand founded in 2020 and unveiled its first vehicles in early 2021. Its name is an abbreviation of the &#8220;Intelligence in Motion&#8221;, which clearly indicated that IM Motors is a smart vehicle-focused automaker. 
A total of $1.4 billion (10 billion RMB) initial investment was made by IM Motors&#8217; shareholders as a founding capital. Chinese EV maker&#8217;s first vehicle concepts &#8216;AIRO&#8217; and LS7 are designed by English designer Thomas Heatherwick and showcased at Auto Shanghai in 2021. In 2022, IM Motors only sold around 5,000 EVs. It&#8217;s expected to sell more than 45,000 in 2023, thanks to the highly-popular electric SUV <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/im-ls7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IM Motors LS7</a>. A more affordable IM Motors LS5 is also on its way.
<h2>Who Owns IM Motors?</h2>
IM Motors is a joint venture between Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, the automaker SAIC Motor, and a Shanghai-based industrial and technology park called Zhangjiang High-Tech. SAIC Motor owns the majority (54%) of this joint venture. Alibaba and Zhangjiang High-Tech hold an 18 percent stake each. IM Motors&#8217;s main purpose is to design and manufacture fully electric high-end vehicles. The brand&#8217;s first cars are being produced at SAIC Motor&#8217;s Lingang plant in Shanghai, China, where SAIC made a handful of investments in 2021 to manufacture all-electric models.

BYD Dolphin’s European Price List Announced

One of China&#8217;s biggest automakers, Great Wall Motor, plans to set up an electric car facility there. The firm, which has made headway in discussions with the Presidential Investment Office, is reportedly considering opening a plant in Turkey for duty-free sales in the European market, according to the news of Aysel Yücel from the Economy Daily. The company does not have sales in Turkey yet.
Great Wall, which launched its formal sales in nations including England, Germany, and Sweden with the entirely EV-focused ORA brand, also makes batteries under the SVOLT brand thanks to its investment in Germany. The company said it will soon set up factories for the manufacture of battery cells at five locations in Europe, with Turkey possibly being one of them.

Great Wall Motor continues to make cars with internal combustion engines for the SUV brand HAVAL, which set sales records in China. However, the company has not yet advanced to the level of BYD and Geely in the conversion to electric vehicles. However, the company wants to produce more plug-in hybrid cars and stop making cars with gasoline and diesel engines by 2030. The goal in Europe is to set up five cell factories, a facility for electric vehicles with a 5–20 GWh capacity, and to extend manufacturing across the continent.

Chinese Coming to Electric Vehicle Investment in Turkey: Great Wall Motor

Kia is adding a new player to the competition in the field of electric vehicles!
The Kia EV2, which will be launched in 2026 at a price of £25,000 (around $30,000), was confirmed at the company&#8217;s first-ever electric vehicle event in South Korea.
While Kia&#8217;s electric vehicle day events focused on the production of the EV5, EV4, and EV3 concepts, the company confirmed that an even smaller electric vehicle model dubbed the EV2, is on the way, as expected. According to Kia CEO Ho Sung Song, the EV2 will be an important part of the company&#8217;s global goal of selling 1.6 million vehicles per year by 2030.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-39671 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Kia-EV2-1-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Kia-EV2-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Kia-EV2-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Kia-EV2-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Kia-EV2-1.jpg 1500w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Song declined to give any specific details about the EV2 at the event but said it was a &#8220;very important&#8221; vehicle for Europe and emerging markets. Kia&#8217;s CEO noted that the EV2 is expected to be the company&#8217;s lowest-priced electric vehicle and that the vehicles will be produced at the company&#8217;s plant in Slovakia.
Kia, which is trying to localize electric vehicle production in the United States, said all of its future electric vehicles will be built on the E-GMP platform, which underpins the Kia EV6 and EV9, as well as vehicles from sister companies such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6 and Genesis GV60.

Kia EV2 To Be Launched In 2026

On Tuesday, Kia unveiled photos of the 2024 Kia EV9 three-row electric crossover SUV. The automaker has laid the groundwork for a new flagship that will be based on the idea that debuted two years ago at the 2021 Los Angeles Motor Show.
The tall, boxy crossover SUV updates the attractive design of the Kia Telluride. With a novel twist on the brand&#8217;s dogbone grille, the vertical ends defy aerodynamics. Daytime running lights strike the fender like a lightning bolt from the bumper.
The LED headlights are all new, consisting of two stacks of little cubes, similar to an ice tray of light. Out back, the stepped pattern is repeated with taillights that ascend up the tailgate to the integrated rear roof spoiler. Kia foregoes the light bars that brace the front and rear of many other EVs, particularly in the premium class.
Large wheels with a noticeably square form are housed in boxy wheel arches. It has a discordant yet appealing design, although Kia has not revealed wheel sizes, standard features, or any other details. The roof is worn like a cap by the squat greenhouse, and a kink at the quarter window cuts a sharp line up to the roof spoiler. It appears to be both sporty and truck-like, implying some off-road capability.
<h2>The EV9 Will Have A Range of Up To 482 Kilometers/300 Miles</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-33518 size-full" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/https___www.carscoops.com_wp-content_uploads_2023_03_2024-Kia-EV9-108-1024x683-1.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/https___www.carscoops.com_wp-content_uploads_2023_03_2024-Kia-EV9-108-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/https___www.carscoops.com_wp-content_uploads_2023_03_2024-Kia-EV9-108-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/https___www.carscoops.com_wp-content_uploads_2023_03_2024-Kia-EV9-108-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />
The cabin is even more spacious than in any other Kia car and most other production EVs. The cockpit is familiar, with two 12.3-inch panels separated by a 5.0-inch monitor behind a single pane of glass. The blocky dash, like the exterior, spreads horizontally, but instead of the haptic panel seen on contemporary Kia vehicles, Kia placed certain crucial climate control controls behind the vents. A shift lever is attached to the steering column, although the open top half of the steering wheel resembles, but differs from, the Kia EV6.
The 2024 Kia EV9 is most compelling from the dashboard back, in six- or seven-seat configurations. The floor is left open by a floating center console, which looks to feature many storage places. The front and second-row seats recline, allowing users to &#8220;relax and rest while the EV is charging,&#8221; according to Kia.
<h2>2024 Kia EV9&#8217;s Technical Specifications Comes Very Soon</h2>
EV9 will be the biggest car yet developed and constructed on the E-GMP dedicated electric-vehicle platform. The EV9 &#8220;will become the brand&#8217;s flagship vehicle and will redefine the big electric SUV category,&#8221; according to Kia, in 2022. The EV9 looks to have the potential to propel Kia into the realm of luxury.

For the time being, there are just a handful of three-row electric SUVs fetching premium pricing. The Tesla Model X was the first three-row electric vehicle to hit the market, and it recently received a $10,000 price decrease, lowering the starting price to $101,380 for five seats; an extra row costs $3,500 more. That&#8217;s a little less than the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, which starts at $105,000 and goes up to more than $130,000. The 2023 Rivian R1S starts at about $80,000 in price.
The 2024 Kia EV9&#8217;s technical specifications are due around the end of March. The price will be announced closer to the vehicle&#8217;s on-sale date later this year.

The 2024 Kia EV9 SUV Makes Its Debut With Concept Exterior

Ahead of its 2023 release, Kia is unveiling the EV9, its first electric SUV. The three-row electric SUV was initially displayed as a concept car at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show. But as its production date approaches, Kia is giving us a deeper look at what to expect.
As the demand for EVs increases, the electric SUV market is heating up. Now is the time that Kia is launching its own &#8220;flagship&#8221; EV SUV, the EV9.
<h2>Kia Desires to Enhance Its Position in Electric Car Sector</h2>
With the introduction of the EV6, Kia&#8217;s first entirely electric vehicle, the year 2022 has been successful. Kia hopes to maintain the momentum it gained in November when it set records for sales.
The Hyundai Motor Group&#8217;s E-GMP platform, which already supports Hyundai&#8217;s <a href="https://www.licarco.com/hyundai-ioniq-5-long-range-awd-2">IONIQ 5</a> and Kia&#8217;s EV6, will support the Kia EV9, the automaker&#8217;s second entirely electric car.

As sales of gas-powered cars decline, Kia, like its parent company Hyundai, has embraced completely electric technology. It has incorporated EV-inspired design elements into its whole <a href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-hyundai-kona-electric-150-kw">KONA</a> series.
The EV9 is predicted to revolutionize everything for Kia and the market for electric SUVs. Kia released further details about the concept in March 2021. The SUV accelerates a 0 to 100 km/h speed of 5 seconds and 336 miles/540 km range on a full charge. The concept was initially unveiled at the LA Auto Show in 2021.

As the company seeks to sell 1.2 million EVs yearly by 2030, Kia&#8217;s flagship EV9 is so crucial role.
<h2>EV9 Electric SUV Launch Hinted </h2>
The EV9 will go into production in 2023, according to a statement from Kia in August that included photographs of the vehicle covered in camouflage. Since Kia India issued a teaser video on its Twitter account showcasing the car&#8217;s distinctive shape and edges, the carmaker plans to remove the coverings.

A panoramic sunroof, a pop-up steering wheel, and even a solar panel integrated into the hood were among the innovative features of the Kia EV9 concept car.

Get a Closer Look at Kia’s First Electric SUV, The EV9

Hyundai

Hyundai Motor has validated its intention to construct a new assembly plant but has declined to provide specifics about its location. &#8220;We are excited to announce a new EV plant plan in the United States soon, but we do not have details to share at this time,&#8221; Hyundai told in the statement.
According to Reuters, the new Georgia factory will produce both the Hyundai Ioniq 7 and the Kia EV9 — 7-passenger battery-electric SUVs specifically designed for American drivers. Each is essentially a battery-powered variant of the Hyundai Telluride and Kia Palisade, the company&#8217;s largest vehicles. The ultimate official statement is likely to come later in the month, once President Biden travels to South Korea.
Hyundai announced recently a $300 million investment to transform its Alabama production plant to produce the battery-electric Genesis GV 70 and a hybrid Santa Fe. The GV 70 will indeed be Hyundai&#8217;s first electric vehicle produced in the United States. Kia has stated that it will have 14 electric vehicles by 2027. Hyundai has stated that it will launch 17 vehicles by 2030, including six for its luxury Genesis brand.
<h2>Free Land, Grants, Tax Credits, And Workforce</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-10541 size-large" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-1024x680.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="498" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-1024x680.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-300x199.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-768x510.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
SK Innovation, a battery supplier to Hyundai and Kia, already operates two battery factories in Georgia. One of them manufactures batteries for Volkswagen and began production earlier this year. Another one will provide batteries to Ford, which is constructing a new EV manufacturing facility in Tennessee. According to Reuters, the Ioniq 7&#8217;s battery will be supplied by SK On, a division of SK Innovation.
The AJC says, “The incentive package that state officials would offer to land the Hyundai Motor expansion is not immediately clear, but it could rival the record-breaking $1.5 billion bounties of perks negotiated for Rivian, which includes free land, grants, tax credits, a workforce training center, and infrastructure improvements.”
Georgia is planning to commit public resources to two major automotive manufacturers — Rivian and Hyundai/Kia — in the hopes of creating thousands of manufacturing jobs, and transforming rural areas of the state.
The arrangement with Georgia and Hyundai Motor is still in the works. Governor Kemp is now being called into question by the ex-senator David Perdue. According to former House Speaker Tip O&#8217;Neill, &#8220;all politics is local.&#8221; Rural voters who want to keep their way of life may have the final say on whether a new Hyundai and Kia factory is built.
