Tesla is making headlines with its latest move, offering 0.99% APR financing on the Model Y. This unprecedented low interest rate is expected to attract many buyers, and local Tesla sales staff have confirmed that it's already generating significant interest.
In other news, Tesla has been making progress in the development of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology. CleanTechnica has been testing the latest beta version of the software, and our most recent test drive included three interesting interventions and two impressive successes.
Tesla's efforts to expand its charging infrastructure are also gaining momentum. The company has recently launched a new mass Supercharger firing program, which aims to improve the efficiency and reliability of its charging network.
Meanwhile, other electric vehicle manufacturers are making their own moves. The Chevy Equinox EV and Kia EV3 have been gaining attention, while Toyota has launched a 100% battery electric Class 8 truck for the US market.
Innovative transportation solutions are also emerging, such as an electric trike semi-truck and a new electric bike conversion product. WattCarbon has also launched a new marketplace to help consumers buy more carbon-responsible products.
Finally, strong climate leaders are crucial in political power. Bill McKibben recently wrote about why climate change is key to Joe Biden getting re-elected in November. As the world continues to shift towards sustainable energy, Tesla's leadership in the electric vehicle market is critical in shaping the future of transportation and energy production.
