Tesla Europe registrations rise 10% in February — but the bar was already on the floor

3 weeks 3 days ago

Tesla registered 17,425 vehicles across 15 major European markets in February 2026, a 10% increase compared to February 2025. It’s the first meaningful year-over-year growth Tesla has posted in Europe in over a year.

But let’s put this in context: Tesla is comparing against Q1 2025, which was a total bloodbath for the automaker in Europe. And despite the February bump, Tesla’s year-to-date registrations are essentially flat, 25,451 units in January-February 2026 versus 25,474 in the same period last year.

Nashville opposes Elon Musk’s Loop tunnel — a decade later, still no proof it beats a subway

3 weeks 3 days ago

Nashville’s Metro Council voted 20-15 to formally oppose the Boring Company’s Music City Loop, a proposed 13-mile underground tunnel system that would shuttle passengers in Tesla vehicles between downtown Nashville and the airport.

The non-binding resolution signals growing resistance to a project that the state of Tennessee is pushing forward anyway, with bills in the legislature to strip Nashville of oversight authority over the tunnel.

Tesla successfully scared Giga Berlin workers away from union

3 weeks 3 days ago

IG Metall’s vote share at Tesla’s Gigafactory Berlin decreased from 39.4% to just 31.1% in the works council election that concluded today, a devastating 8-percentage-point drop that came after weeks of threats, police involvement, and a direct warning from Elon Musk that expansion would stop if the union gained influence.

The management-aligned “Giga United” list won 40.4% of the vote, securing a commanding lead over the union and ensuring that Germany’s only non-union auto plant stays that way.

Tesla changes FSD transfer rules again, screwing over Cybertruck AWD buyers

3 weeks 3 days ago

Tesla has quietly reversed a key change to its Full Self-Driving (FSD) transfer program, switching the deadline back from “order by March 31” to “delivery by March 31.” The move effectively kills the transfer path for thousands of Cybertruck AWD buyers.

The reversal, which happened overnight on February 27-28 with no public announcement, is the latest chapter in the long and frustrating saga of Tesla’s “one-time” FSD transfer program, a program that has been ended and revived so many times that it has become a running joke.
