For years now, the Tesla Model Y has been the most popular electric car on the market, especially in the West. It hit the right balance of range, charge speeds, price and practicality. But a number of excellent competitors from legacy automakers have entered the market in recent years. And many of these cars like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 now exceed the Model Y’s capabilities in more ways than one.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 Is ‘Modern Retro’ While Tesla Model Y Is A ‘Frog’

It's a well-worn trope among American car enthusiasts that Europe gets all the coolest cars. Things haven't changed much in the electric era. The MG Cyberster, which launches in Europe this summer, is a prime example. It's a slick, two-door convertible with scissor doors and tons of power that costs around 55,000 pounds, equivalent to about $71,000. It's doubtful the roadster will ever come to the U.S., but we can learn a bit about this forbidden fruit thanks to the series of tubes we call the internet.

Porsche production manager Albrecht Reimold tells Automobilewoche that the 718 lineup, comprised of the Boxster and Cayman, will end production in 2025. Porsche has already been forced to retire the 718 twins in Europe due to more stringent cybersecurity regulations (and the Macan along with it). More stringent emissions requirements across the pond would have done the pair in at some point as it is. The 718’s electric replacement is underway, and while Reimold didn’t share further details on the upcoming models, it’s hard to imagine Porsche will leave much of a gap between the end of 718 production and the next model’s introduction.
