Chery reported to be considering acquiring the Jaguar brand; preliminary contacts made
According to a report citing internal sources at Chery International, Chery intends to acquire the Jaguar brand and has already held preliminary communications; the report frames Jaguar's owner Tata as the counterparty, with Tata's willingness to release Jaguar-related rights described as the core issue. Two possible paths are outlined: an outright acquisition of the Jaguar brand by Chery with a one-time asset transfer, or an IP joint venture modeled on the Freelander arrangement in which Tata retains brand ownership and contributes brand IP and design know-how while Chery contributes its E0X platform, electrification and supply-chain capabilities. The report notes Jaguar's FY25-26 global retail volume was just over 10,000 units (industry estimate about 14,000) and ties the brand's fate to the Type01 EV's planned 2027 US launch. No agreement has been reached; the contacts are preliminary and unconfirmed by the companies.

Tesla recalls 2.976 million vehicles in China over emergency door handle issue
China's State Administration for Market Regulation announced a recall plan by nine automakers, including Tesla, Xiaomi, Leapmotor, XPeng, Geely, Chery, Dongfeng, BAIC and FAW, covering more than 4 million vehicles due to issues with interior emergency mechanical door handles. Tesla's recall is the largest at 2.976 million vehicles, covering domestically produced Model 3 and Model Y as well as imported Model 3, Model X and Model S. The handles are similar in color to the interior, making them hard to identify and operate, which in extreme cases such as a severe collision causing low-voltage system failure could hinder occupants' escape and outside rescue. Tesla's remedies are to affix free warning labels at the emergency handle positions and to release an OTA software update adding an automatic window-lowering strategy after accidents. Tesla China customer service said not all owners need to visit a service center; stickers are expected to reach service centers by end of September and can be collected over a three-year implementation period, with the recall formally starting September 25, 2026.
