2026 Cadillac Optiq-V Looks to Be a Pocket Rocket, Packs a 519-HP Punch
The 2026 Cadillac Optiq-V joins the lineup as the new crown jewel of the Optiq roster. It uses the same dual-motor setup as the larger Lyriq-V, though output is slightly lower at 519 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. When production and sales start this fall, the Optiq-V will carry a $68,795 starting price. Cadillac's V-badge-wearing lineup of EVs is about to get bigger with the introduction of the 2026 Optiq-V. The brand's compact electric SUV is undertaking the V-series treatment, giving it sportier looks and considerably higher performance. By historical standards, the non-V Optiq is a quick little machine that we estimate can spring from zero to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds. But, as EV proliferation continues and our inner ears develop new standards for speed, the dual-motor's 300-horsepower setup just doesn't elicit excitement. On paper, the Optiq-V fixes that. View Gallery Cadillac The Optiq-V shares its dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup with the larger Lyriq-V, though the Optiq's smaller battery means it spits out 519 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque in comparison with the Lyriq's 615 horsepower. According to Cadillac, the updated powertrain is capable of a 3.5-second sprint to 60 mph. Range is down from the non-V—an unfortunate side effect of adding 219 ponies to the equation. According to Cadillac, the 85.0-kWh battery pack is good for an estimated 275 miles of range, or 25 fewer than the standard model. Though certainly quick in a straight line, Cadillac says it doesn't just have a one-trick pony on its hands. During a video call with media, Alex Doss, the Optiq-V's lead engineer, told reporters that GM developed the performance model to be a canyon carver. That means six-piston Brembo front brakes, quicker steering, a retuned suspension, and Continental Sport Contact 6 summer tires. View Gallery Cadillac Visually, the V distinguishes itself from the regular Optiq with a unique front fascia and a special V pattern in the faux grille. A royal blue color scheme permeates inside and out of the Optiq-V's design, from the brake calipers to the rear quarter windows and throughout the interior from the dashboard to the seatbacks and the seatbelts. Aside from the performance changes, the Optiq-V will also be the first GM product equipped with a native NACS charging port, so it has access to Tesla's vast Supercharger network. Cadillac is targeting an on-sale date and production timeline for sometime this fall. When it goes on sale, the new performance Optiq will start at $68,795.

Waymo robotaxis, Lime e-scooters set ablaze during LA protests
Several Waymo robotaxis and Lime e-scooters were set on fire this weekend amid unrest in downtown Los Angeles spurred by groups protesting immigration raids in the city by the Trump administration. A group of protesters attacked five Waymo autonomous vehicles on Los Angeles Street early on Sunday evening, reports Los Angeles Times. They slashed tires, broke windows, and spray-painted anti-ICE messages. Three cars were set on fire, and at one point, 'the besieged Waymos began honking their horns in coordinated cacophony,' the LA Times wrote. Multiple Waymo vehicles set ablaze here in LA — Brendan Gutenschwager (@BGOnTheScene) June 9, 2025 The Times reports that some Lime e-scooters were also thrown into the burning shells of Waymo's Jaguar I-Paces. The LAPD noted that setting fire to lithium-ion batteries releases toxic gases like hydrogen fluoride, posing a risk to bystanders. It's not clear why protesters attacked the Waymo vehicles. In the past, police have tapped robotaxi companies for footage to help solve crimes — in April, 404 Media reported that the LAPD published video footage obtained from a Waymo driverless car as part of an investigation into a separate hit-and-run incident. Waymo and Lime did not respond to requests for comment. Since Waymo launched its self-driving ride-hail service in Los Angeles in November 2024, its cars have been the target of several acts of vandalism in LA and other cities it operates in. In July 2024, a Bay Area resident was charged with vandalizing 17 Waymos in San Francisco over the course of three days. The protests in Los Angeles began on June 6 in response to a series of aggressive ICE raids across the city, leading to the arrest of over 100 immigrants. A mix of peaceful and violent protests spread over the weekend to Paramount and Compton, and blocked major freeways. Techcrunch event Save $200+ on your TechCrunch All Stage pass Build smarter.

Boston, MA | REGISTER NOW President Trump responded by federalizing the California National Guard, and deploying up to 300 soldiers to Los Angeles. State and city officials opposed this action, with California Governor Gavin Newsom formally requesting the removal of National Guard troops, saying the move was a 'serious breach of state sovereignty.' Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said over the weekend he's prepared to mobilize the Marines if violence continues. Videos circulating online show LAPD personnel beating back anti-ICE protesters, and even some journalists, with batons and rubber bullets.

Musk—Siding With Trump And Deleting Criticism—May Now Want Peace
Elon Musk reposted President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance's criticism of protesters in Los Angeles on Sunday, suggesting his ire toward Trump has cooled after last week's public blow-up, and he may seek to make amends. Musk retweeted a Vance tweet echoing Trump's call to end what the president referred to as 'Migrant riots' in Los Angeles, with Musk captioning the post with two American flags. He also retweeted a Trump Truth Social post blasting California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for opposing the deployment of National Guard troops to the protest scene. On Saturday he also deleted incendiary tweets suggesting Trump was in the so-called 'Epstein files' and endorsing Trump's impeachment. Musk had stopped attacking the president on social media over the weekend, following a days-long X outburst last week that followed Musk's official exit as a member of Trump's administration. The White House clashed with California politicians over the weekend as protests broke out around Los Angeles in response to raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids that resulted in dozens of arrests. Trump and others in his administration denounced the protests using anti-immigration rhetoric, and Trump called for the National Guard to be deployed. The implosion of Trump and Musk's friendship dominated the news cycle last week as Musk became increasingly aggressive in attacking Republicans on X over Trump's policy bill, then eventually turned on Trump. By the end of the week, Musk had endorsed Trump's impeachment in the since-deleted post and Trump alleged Musk had 'lost his mind.' Musk has said he opposes the legislation, known as the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' because it would add to the federal deficit, while Trump and his allies have accused Musk of being against it because it would cut an electric vehicle tax incentive.
