In an exclusive interview, Toyota Motor North America CEO Ted Ogawa says U.S. EV demand in 2030 is expected to only be 30 percent of the market, not more than half as the EPA has proposed.

Elon Musk is suing OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman over what he says is a betrayal of the ChatGPT maker’s founding aims of benefiting humanity rather than pursuing profits.
In a lawsuit filed at San Francisco Superior Court, billionaire Musk said that when he bankrolled OpenAI’s creation, he secured an agreement with Altman and Greg Brockman, the president, to keep the AI company as a nonprofit that would develop technology for the benefit of the public.
Under its founding agreement, OpenAI would also make its code open to the public instead of walling it off for any private company’s gains, the lawsuit says.
However, by embracing a close relationship with Microsoft, OpenAI and its top executives have set that pact “aflame” and are “perverting” the company’s mission, Musk alleges in the lawsuit.
OpenAI declined to comment on the lawsuit Friday.
“OpenAI, Inc. has been transformed into a closed-source de facto subsidiary of the largest technology company in the world: Microsoft,” the lawsuit filed Thursday says. “Under its new Board, it is not just developing but is actually refining an AGI to maximize profits for Microsoft, rather than for the benefit of humanity.”
SEC: “In a highly competitive race to deliver the first mass-produced electric pickup truck to the U.S. market, Lordstown oversold true demand for the Endurance.”
The U.S. new-vehicle market is expected to expand 5.6 to 6.3 percent in February, helped by growing inventories and higher discounts, analysts say, even as affordability concerns and elevated interest rates still weigh on buyers.
It’s just before noon on a Sunday, and I am on a fast-moving Orlando brunch crawl with Netflix star Phil Rosenthal, who these days is famous for being fed.
If you don’t know “Somebody Feed Phil,” which premiered back in 2018, it is equal parts travelog, wondrous and immersive, and food porn so sophisticated — glistening skin, tender flesh, flowing juices — it blurs the line between elegant and explicit.
At the center of it all: Rosenthal, who has described himself as “exactly like Anthony Bourdain – if he was afraid of everything.”
It is a charming, funny line from a charming, funny guy. Precisely the man you’ll see on the show. That said, Rosenthal isn’t afraid of anything. Not on the plate, anyway. He approaches food with enthusiasm and zest and childlike curiosity. He greets the world and everyone in it with a bright, open smile.
That’s how he greeted me, too.
I was supposed to be at a Yankees spring training game that Sunday, but my collision with Rosenthal, admittedly, seemed like kismet.
