Elon Musk has reiterated his claim that Tesla will sell the Cybercab directly to consumers for under $30,000 before the end of the year, following the first production unit rolling off the line at Giga Texas on February 17. The announcement immediately set Tesla fans ablaze, not with discussions about the vehicle’s autonomy challenges, but with AI-generated images of YouTuber Marques Brownlee sporting a freshly shaved head.

Calm down, everyone. You almost certainly won’t get to see MKBHD’s bare head.

Tesla filed new comments with the California Public Utilities Commission that amount to a quiet admission: its “Robotaxi” service still relies on both in-car human drivers and domestic remote operators to function. Rather than downplaying these dependencies, Tesla leans into them — arguing that its multi-layered human supervision model is more reliable than Waymo’s fully driverless system, pointing to the December 2025 San Francisco blackout as proof.

The filing, submitted February 13 in CPUC Rulemaking 25-08-013, reveals the massive operational gap between what Tesla calls a “Robotaxi” and what Waymo actually operates as one.

A Tesla owner says his car tried to drive him into a lake while using the automaker’s latest “Full Self-Driving” software. The incident, captured on video and posted to social media, has gone viral with over 1 million views, adding to a growing list of dangerous FSD edge cases that raise serious questions about the system’s readiness.

Tesla has launched its first vehicle-to-grid (V2G) program in the United States, starting in select Texas markets. The “Powershare Grid Support” program allows Cybertruck owners to discharge their truck’s massive 123 kWh battery, equivalent to roughly nine Powerwalls, back to the grid during high-demand events and earn bill credits in return.

The announcement, made by Tesla Energy on social media, marks a significant milestone for a company that has been promising bidirectional charging capabilities for years but has consistently delayed delivering them across its vehicle lineup.

Tesla VP Raj Jegannathan, who was tapped to lead North American sales after the previous head was dismissed, has announced his departure after 13 years at the automaker. It’s the latest in a string of high-profile exits as Tesla’s sales continue to struggle.

Tesla Vice President of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy told a Senate committee this week that no one has ever remotely taken control of Tesla vehicles. That claim doesn’t hold up to the facts of history.

In fact, a single hacker once gained control of Tesla’s entire fleet.

Tesla has filed two new trademark applications for the Roadster, including one that reveals what appears to be the first official updated silhouette of the long-delayed electric sports car.

The filings, submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office on February 3, offer a glimpse at the branding Tesla plans to use for the vehicle that has been “coming next year” for nearly a decade.

How far are you willing to go to make a buck? For Tesla shareholders, looking the other way when two board members had close relationships with the head of a sex trafficking organization, and lied about it, is evidently on the table.

The newly released Epstein files contain extensive correspondence involving not one, but two current Tesla board members, CEO Elon Musk and his brother Kimbal Musk. The documents directly contradict Elon’s public claims about his relationship with the convicted sex offender, reveal that Epstein was arranging women for Kimbal, and show the kind of conduct that would end careers at any company with functioning corporate governance.

But Tesla isn’t any company. And Tesla shareholders have made it abundantly clear that stock price is all that matters.

Tesla is officially expanding into Morocco, marking another step in the automaker’s push into African markets. The company will host a launch event on February 6 in Casablanca, introducing the Model 3 and Model Y to the North African nation.

Tesla’s nascent robotaxi program is off to a rough start. New NHTSA crash data, combined with Tesla’s new disclosure of robotaxi mileage, reveals Tesla’s autonomous vehicles are crashing at a rate much higher tha human drivers, and that’s with a safety monitor in every car.

Tesla’s Q4 2025 earnings call made one thing painfully clear: the company is no longer interested in being an automaker.

In a single call, Tesla announced it’s killing the Model S and Model X, has no plans for new mass-market models, and is pivoting entirely to “transportation as a service.” The company that revolutionized the auto industry is walking away from it, not because it failed, but because Elon Musk got bored and found new toys.

Tesla will discontinue the Model S and Model X by the end of Q2 2026, CEO Elon Musk announced during the company’s Q4 2025 earnings call today.

The decision marks the end of an era for Tesla’s flagship vehicles, the Model S launched in 2012 and the Model X in 2015.

Musk’s reason: “Autonomy.”

For the first time ever, Tesla has revealed how many people are actually paying for Full Self-Driving. The answer: 1.1 million, roughly 12% of its cumulative vehicle sales.

The disclosure came in Tesla’s Q4 2025 earnings report, where the company revealed “Active FSD Subscriptions” as a new metric. The number includes both upfront purchases and monthly subscribers, but excludes free trials.

Update: Tesla has since added a critical piece of information: 1.1 million “subscribers” actually includes people who bought the FSD package outright, which accounts for 70% of that number.

Tesla (TSLA) released its financial results and shareholders’ letter for the fourth quarter (Q4) 2025 and full-year 2025 after market close today.

We are updating this post with all the details from the financial results, shareholders’ letter, and the conference call later tonight. Refresh for the latest information.

Tesla (TSLA) will release its Q4 2025 and full-year 2025 financial results on Wednesday, Jan. 28, after the markets close. As usual, a conference call and Q&A with Tesla’s management are scheduled after the results.

Here, we’ll look at what the street and retail investors expect for the quarterly results.

Tesla has started offering Robotaxi rides without a safety monitor in Austin, Texas. After yet another set of missed timelines and a full decade of broken promises, Elon Musk is finally getting a version of the “win” he has been desperately seeking. But considering the alarming crash data we have and the evidence of heavy remote monitoring, should we be excited or terrified?

Update: New video evidence shows that Tesla’s supposedly “unsupervised” Robotaxis in Austin are being closely followed by black Tesla trailing cars with safety monitors inside. Tesla didn’t remove the safety monitors – it just moved them to a different vehicle.

A new report confirms that Tesla has reduced its workforce at Gigafactory Berlin by roughly 1,700 employees over the last year. The cuts come despite the plant manager repeatedly denying any staff reductions were taking place.

Tesla is once again telling customers that the window to transfer their Full Self-Driving (FSD) package to a new vehicle is closing at the end of the quarter. While the automaker is framing this as the “last” chance, the history of this program suggests it is being used more as a quarterly demand lever than a hard deadline.

But how does the move to “subscription only” play into this?

Tesla is reportedly offering discounts on unsold Model Y inventory in India as the automaker faces a “letdown” in the major auto market following its official launch last year.
