Tesla Cybercab: hate it or love it, it is the most efficient EV ever
Tesla’s Cybercab has been certified at 165 Wh/mi, making it the most efficient electric vehicle ever produced — by a wide margin. The next most efficient EV on the market, the Lucid Air Pure, consumes 28% more energy per mile.
Tesla VP of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy confirmed the figure, which represents a certified rating — not a marketing claim or internal target. It’s an impressive achievement, but it comes with a massive asterisk: Tesla accomplished this by building a tiny two-seat robotaxi with no steering wheel, no pedals, and a sub-50 kWh battery pack.

Yozma IN10 Pro Review: $2,000 buys 50mph Sur Ron Light Bee killa
Last month I reviewed the $1,200 Yozma IN10 and called it unstoppable at its price point. Then I promised to come back with another thousand dollars and the Pro. Here we are.
The base $1200 IN10 made a compelling case for itself as a teen’s trail machine. The Pro makes a different argument entirely. Same fun Yozma DNA, same off-road-only positioning — but the numbers have jumped into territory that starts to make you ask harder questions. The IN10 Pro is rated at 5,500W peak with 220Nm of torque and a claimed 50mph top speed. For context: that’s not eMoto-for-kids territory anymore. That’s approaching light electric motorcycle territory, at a fraction of the price.
