TechCrunchFor SUVs and EVs, subtlety is out and plundering nature is in
Here in America, we like our steaks juicy, our tax subsidies to go to sports stadiums and our SUVs and crossovers to look as if they could venture into the wilderness and dominate the landscape at a moment's notice. Maybe it's anxiety from years of being cooped up inside during the height of the global pandemic. Or maybe it's just more automakers desperate to follow the runaway sales success at Subaru.

AP FinanceGM passes Ford to take No. 2 spot in EV sales behind Tesla
General Motors rode strong first-quarter sales of the Chevrolet Bolt to bump crosstown rival Ford out of second place in the U.S. electric vehicle sales race. Ford sold only 10,866 EVs during the quarter, but the company said that's largely because it had to stop making the top-selling Mustang Mach-E electric SUV while it retooled a factory in Mexico to increase production. Spokesman Said Deep said the company didn't build Mach-Es for seven weeks during the quarter, cutting into sales. Also, Ford was forced to stop making the F-150 Lightning electric pickup in February after a battery caught fire during a pre-delivery quality check.

ReutersFord's quarterly US auto sales jump 10.1% on pent-up demand, easing supply
(Reuters) -Ford Motor Co posted a 10.1% rise in first-quarter U.S. auto sales on Tuesday, fueled by pent-up demand for electric vehicles, SUVs and trucks amid easing supply chain disruptions. "The U.S. new-vehicle market is showing signs of strength and is also being reshaped by higher prices and fewer subprime buyers," said Charlie Chesbrough, senior economist at Cox Automotive. Demand has been such that Ford last month said it was looking at ways to boost output of gasoline-powered and hybrid F-150 trucks at a Michigan factory as part of a broader plan to increase production of several models.

AP FinanceNo driver? No problem. Robotaxis eye San Francisco expansion
Two trailblazing ride-hailing services are heading toward uncharted territory as they seek regulatory approval to transport passengers around the clock throughout one of the most densely populated U.S. cities in vehicles that will have no one sitting in the driver’s seat. If Cruise, a subsidiary of General Motors, and Waymo, a spinoff from Google, reach their goal before year's end, San Francisco would become the first U.S. city with two totally driverless services competing against Uber, Lyft and traditional taxis — all of which depend on people to control the automobiles. Cruise already has been charging people for driverless rides in less congested parts of San Francisco during night-time hours since last June.
