Tesla has made yet another change to its Model 3 and Model Y line up in the U.S. The entry-level “Standard” versions are now simply denoted by rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). But that’s not it.
Earlier, if you wanted a Model Y AWD, you had to choose the more expensive Premium trim. The automaker has now added a base AWD version at $41,990, with the same decontenting as the RWD, but with power going to all four wheels.
Here’s what else is going on today:
California revealed more details of its $200 million EV incentive program.
Kia’s January sales numbers are in, and they're not looking good.
General Motors is investing in sourcing American lithium and cathode active materials.
