During Jeep’s 4xe Day event, the brand announced it would introduce four new Jeep EV models by 2025.
Jeep and other American Stelantis-owned brands Dodge and Chrysler have been late to the electric vehicle market. Still, Jeep intends to change that by introducing four new all-electric models by 2025. In their 4xe event, they announced a fully electric Jeep Wagoneer, a Jeep Wrangler-inspired Jeep Recon (an all-new model name), a Europe-based Jeep Avenger (what has been previously teased as a Jeep Jeepster), and a slew of PHEV models that will come to North America.
After hemorrhaging money in paying for carbon credits, primarily in Europe, the American Stelantis brands are now introducing their first all-electric models as part of their 100% EV sales goal for Europe and 50% EV sales goal in the U.S. by 2030.
Jeep Wagoneer S EV
The first model shown in Jeep’s 4xe event was the all-new Jeep Wagoneer S EV. This electric rendition of the now incredibly popular Jeep Wagoneer offers far more angular styling and lighting and a series of aerodynamic upgrades to aid in the vehicle’s efficiency. Most notably, the Jeep Wagoneer EV now adopts a BMW X4 coupe styling as the back window is aggressively slanted, as a wing compliments the rear of the vehicle. Jeep shared a few specs for the Wagoneer S EV; the SUV would have ~400 miles of range (643.738 kilometers), 600 horsepower, and a 0-60 of ~3.5 seconds. No other specifications were released.

Jeep Avenger EV
Jeep’s Avenger, the first of two new model names announced, will be Jeep’s first all-electric offering in Europe and will be available early next year. The Jeep Avenger is the vehicle that has been inaccurately rumored to be the Jeep Jeepster, though it may come to the U.S. under that model name. The small crossover SUV is ideal for the European market and offers a playful look and feel. Similarly to the wagoneer, limited specifications were released, but the vehicle will have ~400 kilometers (248.548 miles) of range.

Jeep Recon EV
Finally, the Jeep Recon is the brand’s new serious all-electric off-roader. Inspired by the Jeep Wrangler, the vehicle has styling reminiscent of the Ford Bronco and Land Rover Discovery. Jeep gave no specifications for this vehicle, but the brand stated that it was focused on maximizing off-road capability, fun, and freedom. If built off of the Jeep Wagoneer EV platform, the vehicle would likely not be capable of the same 400-mile range due to its decreased aerodynamics and more capable suspension setup but could retain the incredible 600 horsepower.

Excitingly, Jeep only showed off three fully electric vehicles that would be introduced by the end of 2024, but they stated that the brand would release four. Some have speculated that the brand may be working on an electric truck model based on their Jeep Gladiator platform.
Overall, this is exciting news for the heritage brand! Jeep is one of a few brands attempting to infuse fun and enjoyment into each vehicle. With electric powertrains, their vehicles can become more fun and cleaner simultaneously, and it is good news that they have recognized this fact.

The in-car Tesla Theater is among the most unique features available within the cars. When charging, parked, camping, or just hanging out, vehicle occupants can access a variety of streaming platforms on the large center screen, helping keep them entertained during downtime.
However, the Theater might be getting plenty more streaming platforms, something that owners have requested for some time.
Tesla owners recently discovered that visiting Apple TV in the vehicle browser can launch a fullscreen interface that looks and behaves like a dedicated application rather than an ordinary webpage:
Today I learned that if you go to Apple TV in the Tesla browser, it will open up an actual Apple TV app, fully functional. Not just the site.
Apparently there are more apps than just the few that show on the apps page. pic.twitter.com/os1Ypfm4JR

The experience drops the usual address bar and browser chrome, presenting catalogs, continue watching rows, and playback controls in the same window Tesla Theater already uses for its listed services. Independent testers soon found similar treatment for HBO Max, Paramount+, Peacock, Disney+, and Prime Video when those sites are opened from the car browser.
This shift is a plausible early signal that Tesla is widening Theater support without a formal software note. Theater has long been a set of web views rather than native applications, so recognizing extra domains and stripping the browser frame is a small server-side change that can expand the catalog quickly.
Owners still lack permanent Theater icons for the newly recognized services, and video remains limited to Park, yet the smoother launch is a meaningful step toward a broader lounge while charging.
Tesla Theater arrived with software version 10 in September 2019. The first video services were Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu, available only while parked and originally tied to WiFi. Spotify arrived in the same era as music rather than Theater video. Disney+ joined officially in July 2021 with the 2021.24 update, giving owners another major catalog on the center screen. Twitch and TikTok later appeared among the default Theater tiles, and Tesla Tutorials remained a persistent educational tile.
Not every addition stayed put. In December 2023, a Holiday software build removed the Disney+ tile for many United States owners after a public dispute involving advertising on X. Hulu stayed visible even though Disney owned it. Visiting disneyplus.com in the browser often restored the tile, which suggested the removal was a recognition list change rather than a complete block. Owners have also reported occasional blank Theater grids after updates, usually fixed by language toggles, resets, or later firmware.
Tesla axes Disney+ from vehicles with Musk-Iger rivalry, but there’s a workaround
Code archives from 2024 listed many unused source names, including Apple TV and Prime Video, that never became official icons, which now looks like groundwork for the current fullscreen browser behavior.
Now that this hint toward an expanded Theater experience has been recognized, Tesla could follow through with these additional shortcuts as a sign that more streaming platforms are available in Teslas than ever before.
Tesla recently received its largest order for the all-electric Semi from Einride, a Swedish transport service, for 500 units, a groundbreaking invoice to receive before the first deliveries begin.
Even more remarkable, Einride CEO Roozbeh Charli said in a recent interview that he expects his company to take delivery of all 500 — the entire order — before the end of 2027. He even expects to have 75 Tesla Semi units in the Einride fleet before the end of this year.
🚨 Einride CEO Roozbeh Charli on the Tesla Semi partnership:
“If we start with the Amazon announcement that we did earlier this year, that was on the back of having gone through a proving period together with them and proving out our technology. Then we took that next step in… pic.twitter.com/oazkXjwoig

Charli said the Tesla partnership was part of a broader push, along with its earlier partnership with Amazon. Einride is assisting Amazon with the use of its Saga AI platform, which helps eliminate questions about budgeting and forecasting for logistics companies.
The Semi, as well as Tesla’s production and subsequent delivery of the units to Einride, will help the company “to have a good supply of vehicles that we can deploy on the [Saga AI] platform,” Charli said. “Tesla is also a relationship we’ve had for a while, and as the Tesla Semi deliveries are firming up, we decided to do a larger commitment to that and deploy that on our platform.”
In its initial announcement, Einride said it anticipated taking delivery of the trucks over the next two years, but now it appears the company is expecting all 500 units within the next 16 months.
Built at a dedicated factory in Sparks, Nevada, the Tesla Semi has been perhaps the biggest and most intensive testing process the company has ever had for a single vehicle model. For the past several years, Tesla has been working with many companies, most notably Frito-Lay and PepsiCo, to gain knowledge on the performance on regional routes.
Tesla plans to launch the Semi officially on September 24, five months after production started ramping.
Additionally, drivers have said they are happy about the Semi’s performance and that its numerous safety and productivity features have made their jobs and routes much easier.
Tesla Cybercab is using a unique strategy for picking up the correct rider, which is a crucial part of ride-hailing to ensure people end up in the right place and are charged the correct price.
Cybercab will utilize an RGB strip in its front light bar that will illuminate in a variety of different colors to mark itself.
This identifying mark will also appear in the Robotaxi app, giving riders in the same location a notable distinction in an effort to avoid any confusion regarding who should get in each vehicle.

Other ride-hailing services use similar strategies: Lyft and Uber rides are recognizable through driver identity, vehicle type and color, as well as license plate. Waymo will display the rider’s initials on top of the vehicle, letting them know that the specific vehicle for them has arrived.
Tesla’s strategy is unique and interesting, but there are some flaws. Cybercab’s main purpose is aimed toward being an autonomous ride for all, including those who have disabilities like being blind or even color blind.
Tesla will likely have something in the pipeline for those who cannot see colors or have limited vision. There will definitely be multiple ways to identify which vehicle is the one that “you” specifically ordered.
Cybercab is set to start giving public rides next Thursday, September 3, in Austin, as it announced a dedicated event last week and invited many members of the Tesla community.
Additionally, members of the public will be invited as well. Tesla has been offering employee rides in Cybercab for nearly two months.
