The new lineup includes the lighter and more agile Vorsa Lite, the original Vorsa configuration, and the new fat-tire Vorsa FT.
Tesla has lost another long-tenured executive: Sendil Palani, the company’s VP of Finance, confirmed his departure after a 17-year run that began when the automaker was weeks from running out of cash.
Palani is one of the last pre-IPO-era leaders still in a senior role at Tesla, and his exit deepens what has become a sweeping drain of institutional knowledge across virtually every critical function over the past two years.

As the average transaction price of a new car creeps towards $55,000, a coming wave of low mile, off-lease EVs with massive depreciation could help car dealers solve the affordability crisis, combat sticker shock, and move more units. CDK’s David Thomas talks us through it on today’s surprisingly affordable episode of Quick Charge.
A city in Georgia may have just launched something the EV charging world hasn’t seen before: a city-branded Tesla Supercharger station.

A viral video shows a Tesla Model 3 on “Full Self-Driving” driving straight through railroad crossing barriers in the Los Angeles area, failing to detect the crossing gate entirely.
The incident comes on the same day as NHTSA’s deadline for Tesla to turn over critical data from its investigation into FSD traffic violations — an investigation that specifically includes railroad crossing failures.
Donut Lab has released its third independent test report from VTT, the Finnish Technical Research Centre, and it confirms another claim: the solid-state battery retains 97.7% of its charged capacity after sitting idle for 10 days.
The new report (VTT-CR-00125-26) adds self-discharge performance to the growing list of independently verified specs — but three reports in, the two most extraordinary claims remain completely untested.
