Stellantis faces $1.7b hit from us tariffs this year
Stellantis has forecasted that US tariffs would cost it 1.5 billion euros (1.7 billion) this year – five times the hit taken in the first six months of the year when the carmaker tallied losses of 2.3 billion euros (2.65 billion). The maker of Jeep, Chrysler, Fiat, and Peugeot cars said Tuesday that net profits plummeted from 5.6 billion euros (6.5 billion) in the same period last year as it burned 3.3 billion euros (3.8 billion) in cash for the cancellation of a hydrogen fuel cell project, changes in the fine regime for US carbon emission regulations, and write-downs on platform investments. US President Donald Trump's tariffs cost the company 300 million euros (346 million) in the first six months of the year, Stellantis said. During the period, US shipments were down by nearly a quarter as the carmaker reduced the importation vehicles produced abroad. Stellantis said it expected net revenues to increase over the next six months compared with the first half when they dropped 13 percent to 74.3 billion euros (85.7 billion). The carmaker also said cash flow would improve. Incoming CEO Antonio Filosa, who was confirmed in the role last month, said the new executive team will continue to make the tough decisions needed to re-establish profitable growth and significantly improve results. 'My first weeks as CEO have reconfirmed my strong conviction that we will fix what's wrong with Stellantis,' Filosa said in a statement.

Tesla Roadster Set to Be the Ultimate Driver's Car
At the recent X Takeover event, Tesla's VP of Automotive Engineering, Lars Moravy, described the upcoming Roadster as the ultimate tribute to human-driven cars before full autonomy becomes the norm. According to Moravy, it's not just a performance car—it's a symbolic goodbye to the visceral thrill of driving, soon to become a rare indulgence in a world run by AI and automation. A Spectacle on the Horizon: Late 2025 Launch Teased Tesla is promising a jaw-dropping live demonstration of the new Roadster by the end of 2025, calling it one of the most electrifying showcases in the company's history. This event is expected to underline how far the Roadster project has come, both technically and conceptually. Specs That Sound Unreal Tesla's targets for the Roadster border on science fiction: a 200 kWh battery pack, up to 1,000 kilometers of range, and a tri-motor all-wheel-drive setup delivering 800 to 1,000 horsepower and over 10,000 Nm of torque to the wheels. Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph (0–96 km/h) is projected at 1.9 seconds for the standard model, with the optional SpaceX package potentially dropping that to under a second. A quarter-mile sprint could be completed in just 8.8 seconds. The SpaceX Package: Real Tech, Surreal Claims CEO Elon Musk has confirmed that the advanced variant will include the SpaceX package—around 10 cold-gas thrusters that assist with acceleration, deceleration, and cornering. Musk even joked the car might 'hover' slightly, under a meter off the ground. While it sounds outlandish, Tesla insists this package is under serious development as part of an ambitious engineering roadmap. Design: Modern and Bold This Roadster isn't a revival of its first-gen namesake. Instead, it's a futuristic 2+2 coupe with a sleek profile, designed by Franz von Holzhausen. A removable glass roof and compact rear seating differentiate it from the earlier two-seater layout, blending performance with utility and a forward-looking design philosophy. Reality Check: Dream in Progress or Delayed Fantasy? Despite the hype, the Roadster has suffered multiple delays since its 2017 reveal. Tesla has pushed production timelines from 2020 to 2022 and now to 2025, with no production units or deliveries confirmed yet. For enthusiasts and critics alike, the question remains: is this a true revolution in the making, or just another ambitious promise? Competition Is Already Moving Even before hitting the market, the new Roadster is facing strong competition. Rivals like the Rimac Nevera and Lucid Air are already delivering high-performance EVs with impressive reliability and production consistency. While Tesla banks on groundbreaking innovation, buyers may lean toward proven alternatives that already deliver a balance of power, design, and dependability.
