Although these documents are loaded with legalese, it\u2019s clear that both economic developments are on the minds of their respective executive teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rivian and Lucid both make specific and multiple mentions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) in the risk factors section of their 10Qs. The OBBBA eliminates certain tax credits for EV buyers and essentially devalues the zero-emissions regulatory credit market. Tariffs and trade policy risks also make cameos.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucid <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1811210\/000181121025000007\/lcid-20250630.htm\">notes in its 10Q<\/a> that it is assessing the impact of OBBBA. \u201cIf any of the Company\u2019s suppliers, sub-suppliers or partners experience financial distress, insolvency or disruptions in operations, they may be unable to fulfill their obligations or meet the Company\u2019s production and quality requirements.\u201d\u00a0 Meanwhile, Rivian tries to strike a \u201cglass half full\u201d tone by noting that 45X tax credit for domestic battery production remains.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ford and GM also make mention of the OBBBA, although both spend more time talking about the potential effects of tariffs. GM says it\u2019s unable to estimate the financial impacts of the OBBBA, but notes it \u201ccould be material and may adversely affect electric vehicle profitability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the unfortunate upshot (and potential third punch): A new 100% import tariff on semiconductor chips could squeeze automakers even more. Anyone who paid attention during the COVID pandemic remembers how <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/04\/23\/business\/auto-semiconductors-general-motors-mercedes.html\">supply constraints on chips<\/a> hurt automakers. Industry experts estimate that a modern vehicle contains more than 1,000 \u2014 and in some cases more than 3,000 \u2014 chips. None of these companies want to go through this again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question is how they will qualify for exemptions; the Trump administration said it will award them to companies that manufacture the chips domestically. Automakers don\u2019t typically make chips, which means these companies may all turn to domestic suppliers. This is, of course, a TBD scenario since the administration has a history of changing policy, and it has yet to provide details on this 100% tariff and exactly how to secure an exemption.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-techcrunch-inline-cta\">\n<div class=\"inline-cta__wrapper\">\n<p>Techcrunch event<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-cta__content\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__location\">San Francisco<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__separator\">|<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__date\">October 27-29, 2025<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The end result is uncertainty, the wet blanket of any enterprise.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-little-bird\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_little_bird\"><\/span>A little bird<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"170\" width=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/blinky-cat-bird-green.gif?w=680\" alt=\"blinky cat bird green\" class=\"wp-image-1896211\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-block-image__credits\"><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>Bryce Durbin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You would think that a trade war with China and concerns about protecting American <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> would discourage Chinese companies from setting up shop in the U.S. But lately, I have heard some chatter from a few birds in the industry that Chinese companies, specifically those working on autonomous vehicle technology or adjacent tech, are repatriating to the United States.

It also puts an end to a related investigation into whether the Amazon-owned company had sidestepped federal regulations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Tesla<\/strong> news cycle just won\u2019t quit.

Meanwhile, Tesla, which has seen automotive revenues drop, is pushing to turn its AI and autonomy ambitions into moneymakers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two developments this week have chipped away at those aspirations. First, Tesla has shuttered its Dojo supercomputer program, ending its bid to develop in-house chips for driverless technology. And separately, a jury found Tesla partly to blame for a fatal 2019 crash and ordered it to pay around $242.5 million in punitive and compensatory damages. It\u2019s a notable case in which plaintiffs successfully argued there is a gap between how Tesla talks about its Autopilot driver-assistance system and its actual capabilities.
