A lot of publications, including the New York Times, are saying 10 models are currently eligible for the tax credit. But that’s bullshit. Three of those vehicles — the Chevy Silverado, Blazer, and Equinox EVs — don’t go on sale until later this year. And a lot of the other vehicles on this list are basically impossible to buy right now. The Cadillac Lyriq is sold out for the rest of the year. The Ford F-150 Lightning is just now returning to production after a battery fire messed things up. In short, nearly half of this list is vaporware. So let’s be real: there’s really only six EVs that qualify.

Solar-car startup Lightyear Automotive filed for bankruptcy earlier this year, weeks after announcing production was gearing up on its first luxury sports car. Now the company is selling a lot of its assets through European auction site, including batteries, office supplies, and even a couple of slick looking prototypes.

Sure, human drivers do this too. But robotaxis are supposed to be better than humans, not perpetuate our worst behaviors. Wired got dashcam footage from eight incidents of autonomous vehicles from Waymo and Cruise blocking buses in San Francisco. How much were riders delayed?
