Electric truck startup Bollinger exits court receivership after paying back founder who sued

Editor's note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly described the court status of Bollinger Motors. The company was in receivership in U.S. District Court. Electric truck startup Bollinger Motors has exited U.S. court receivership thanks to more financial aid from parent Mullen Automotive Inc., whose chief has ambitious plans for a rebound set in Michigan. California-based Mullen acquired an additional 21 percent of Bollinger, bringing its ownership stake in the suburban Detroit company to 95 percent, Mullen announced June 2 as it executed its second reverse stock split in as many months to stay compliant with Nasdaq rules on share prices. In tandem with Mullen's transaction, Bollinger was discharged from federal court receivership and case dismissed with prejudice, according to a filing in U.S. district court in Detroit. Mullen Automotive CEO David Michery said the company paid $11 million to Robert Bollinger. In March, Bollinger sued the company he founded, claiming it was broke and seeking to recover his loan. Sign up for the weekly Automotive News Mobility Report newsletter for the latest developments at the intersection of transportation and technology. Mullen, which has faced a host of financial issues beyond Bollinger, is all-in on the electric vehicle startup, Michery said June 4 in an interview with Automotive News and affiliate Crain's Detroit Business. Bollinger Motors — despite the spat with its namesake — will persevere as a brand that 'will outlast everyone,' Michery vowed at the startup's Oak Park, Mich., headquarters. 'You can't blame Bollinger for the current market, you can't blame Bollinger for tariffs, you can't blame Bollinger for the disruption that occurred with Robert filing this frivolous lawsuit,' Michery said. 'That hurt the company.' Now, Mullen is putting its chips on Bollinger Motors to weather the storm. Michery said production of Class 4 trucks would resume in eight to 10 weeks and that the company's staff of about 85 in metro Detroit would soon swell in line with a predicted increase in demand — though that remains in question with a stagnant market. Mullen will close its engineering base in Irvine, Calif., and consolidate it to the company's tech center near Detroit in Troy, Mich., where 40 to 50 employees will be added, Michery said. 'I want all engineering, all manufacturing, everything in the state of Michigan,' he said. While Michery serves as CEO of Bollinger Motors, the company's daily operations will be overseen by James Taylor. After departing in March, Taylor will return to the company as a consultant. One priority is cleaning up the company's supply chain. Bollinger Motors has been sued by several suppliers claiming they were being stiffed by the startup. Michery said he is in the process of paying debts, including to contract manufacturer Roush, which makes the Class 4 trucks for Bollinger. Mullen's earnings reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission seem to indicate big financial trouble. It lost $162 million on revenue of $7.9 million in the first quarter and the company posted a $115 million loss on revenue of $2.9 million in the prior quarter. In May, Mullen Automotive lost its 675,000-square-foot former AM General factory in Mishawaka, Ind., to settle a financial dispute with creditor GEM Yield Bahamas Ltd. However, Michery said Mullen has ample liquidity, including a $150 million equity line allowing the company to use its stock as currency — an instrument approved by the SEC and shareholders. 'Picture a credit card,' he said. 'Mullen has a $150 million credit card that it can use at will.' Mullen's 1-for-100 reverse stock split executed Monday was designed to bring its stock price above $1 per share to meet Nasdaq requirements. Financial adviser Alex Calderone said the move is window dressing and does not solve underlying business performance issues. 'I would not surmise that would impact company valuation at all or shareholder rights at all,' Calderone said. 'It just appears to be a cosmetic change to be able to adjust the share price. … It's like if I traded you a hundred dollar bill for a hundred singles.' On June 4, Mullen Automotive's stock shot up to above $16 per share, tripling its value over the course of a day, as Michery pointed out after pulling up the market summary on his phone. 'They knew we were coming out here to put Bollinger back in business,' he said. Have an opinion about this story? Tell us about it and we may publish it in print.

Tesla Stock Falls 8% As Trump-Musk Relationship Appears To Unravel

Shares of Tesla dropped by more than 8% on Thursday as the relationship between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump's appeared to unravel, with Musk launching attacks at the president on X and Trump suggesting to telling reporters at the White House criticism of his signature bill from the world's wealthiest person amounts to 'Trump derangement syndrome.' Musk has called to 'kill' Trump's policy bill, criticizing the legislation as 'massive, outrageous' ... More and 'pork-filled.' Tesla's stock fell 8.3% to around $304.50 as of shortly before 1 p.m. EDT on Thursday, with losses accelerating following Trump's comment. Thursday's decline paces what would be Tesla's largest decrease since the stock plummeted 10.4% on April 4. Through more than a dozen posts on X since Tuesday, Musk has referred to Trump's policy bill as 'massive, outrageous' and 'pork-filled,' while adding, 'shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong.' Musk's latest criticism of the bill Thursday targeted Trump for the first time, as Musk wrote 'wise words' in response to a tweet from Trump in 2013, in which Trump said, 'I cannot believe the Republicans are extending the debt ceiling—I am a Republican & I am embarrassed!' Trump responded to Musk's recent attacks, suggesting Thursday he and Musk 'had a great relationship,' but 'I don't know if we will anymore.' A more than 10% slide for Tesla's stock over the last five trading sessions follows a 22% jump in May, which came as Musk said he would leave the White House and committed to serving as Tesla's chief executive for the next five years. Trump has called on Republican senators to approve his policy bill by a July 4 deadline set by Senate leadership. A stock slide for Tesla also comes as sales for the automaker declined in the U.K., Germany, Italy and China in May. Tesla's sales dropped more than 45% in the U.K., despite sales across the industry increasing by 28%. Tesla will launch a robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, in June, featuring some 20 self-driving Model Y vehicles. The service's debut in Austin follows criticism about Tesla's self-driving software and Musk's failure to disclose detailed safety and technical data about Tesla's technology. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened several investigations into Tesla's Autopilot feature over nearly a decade, including recent probes into whether Tesla's Full-Self Driving software is linked to two deaths. Musk has repeatedly said the software allows for 'full autonomy' while in a vehicle, though he has said an active driver is still required. Musk's attacks on Trump's policy bill follow his monthslong stint in the White House leading the Department of Government Efficiency. Trump and Musk have said Musk's departure happened on good terms, and that Musk would continue to be present as a Trump adviser. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump 'already knows' Musk's stance on his bill, saying 'it doesn't change the president's opinion.' Tesla's stock declined in recent months as Musk appeared to increasingly focus on his role with the Trump administration, with some analysts criticizing him for spending '110%' of his time as head of the DOGE rather than leading Tesla. After Tesla's first-quarter earnings report in April, Musk signaled he would be 'allocating far more of my time' to Tesla, though he had yet to commit to exiting his government role.

Subaru WRX Sales Have Fallen Off a Cliff

Subaru released its May sales results this week, and things weren't rosy. The entire brand is down 10.4 percent for the month, with some models seeing sharp decreases compared to May 2024. However, it was the WRX that saw the biggest decline, with sales down a whopping 71.2 percent last month. The automaker sold just 482 WRXs in May, and sales are also down 23.6 percent for the year. This continues a trend from 2024, when WRX sales fell 24.7 percent. The company sold 18,587 WRXs last year, and has sold 6,081 through the first five months of the year—and this is before any price increases hit Subaru's lineup. Model May 2025 Sales May 2024 Sales % Change YTD 2025 Sales YTD 2024 Sales % Change Ascent 3,547 5,277 -32.8% 18,384 22,935 -19.8% BRZ 326 227 43.6% 1,459 1,171 24.6% Crosstrek 15,793 13,836 14.1% 74,340 64,368 15.5% Forester 15,434 15,345 0.6% 84,629 81,741 3.5% Impreza 2,457 2,419 1.6% 12,923 12,428 3.9% Legacy 1,792 1,527 17.4% 9,469 7,610 24.4% Outback 11,214 16,506 -32.1% 62,649 64,850 -3.4% Solterra 1,246 1,546 -19.4% 5,326 4,149 28.4% WRX 482 1,673 -71.2% 6,081 7,962 -23.6% TOTAL 52,292 58,365 -10.4% 275,260 267,215 3.0% Meanwhile, on the other side of the brand's performance lineup, BRZ sales are up for the month and the year. Subaru sold 326 BRZs in May, up 43.6 percent, bringing the total sold for the year so far to 1,459. That's not much, but the coupe's sales are up 24.6 percent for the year. Legacy and Crosstrek also saw sales increase by 17.4 and 14.1 percent, respectively. Those weren't enough to counter the 32.8 percent drop in Ascent sales or the 32.1 percent decrease in Outback sales. Solterra sales also fell 18.4 percent. Despite all the declines, Subarus sales are still positive for the year, but just barely. The company is up 3.0 percent for the year through May. Subaru has sold 275,260 vehicles in 2025.
