Xiaomi appears to sell a whole galaxy of products that includes a row of physical buttons (listen to that satisfying click!) that installs directly under the central display of the SU7, its newly released EV. It’s a pretty interesting approach to aftermarket sales that, as this Threads user points out, seems ripped straight from the company’s smartphone playbook.

More used Teslas are about to flood the market.
Hertz said in its first quarter earnings report today that it plans to sell an additional 10,000 Teslas, after committing to off-loading 20,000 of the electric vehicles earlier this year. That means the rental car company plans on selling 15 percent of the initial 200,000 EVs it said it was going to buy from Tesla and Polestar back in the heady days of 2021.
