Tesla is hitting back at a growing gray market of unauthorized devices that unlock Full Self-Driving (FSD) in regions where the software hasn’t been approved. The automaker has been remotely disabling FSD on affected vehicles — permanently revoking access without warning.
Reports are surfacing from owners in Europe, South Korea, China, and Turkey that Tesla remotely woke their vehicles, detected the unauthorized CAN bus devices, and stripped FSD entirely — reverting them to basic Autopilot.
Tesla is reportedly developing an all-new smaller, cheaper electric SUV — two years after CEO Elon Musk killed the company’s affordable EV program and called building cars for human drivers “pointless.”
Reuters reports that four people familiar with the matter say the new compact SUV would be produced at Tesla’s Shanghai factory, priced substantially below the Model 3’s $34,000 starting price in China and $37,000 in the US.
EV Realty just opened its flagship electric truck charging hub in San Bernardino, California, and it’s built for the kind of heavy-duty freight work that keeps supply chains moving.
Avinox is back with its next-generation e-bike drive systems, and if the numbers are anything to go by, the company is definitely targeting the higher performance end of the market.
Norway is doubling down on electric maritime transport in a big way, placing an order for 20 of Candela’s P-12 electric hydrofoil ferries in what’s being described as the largest deployment of its kind to date.
On today’s Tesla-tastic episode of Quick Charge, a TSLA bear thinks the stock is headed for a 60% slide before the year is out, Tesla launches a Supercharger configurator, and we find out what’s really going on at Elon’s proposed chip fab.
Tesla has quietly switched on a public configurator for its Supercharger for Business program, and the numbers tell us exactly what it now costs a third party to buy into the network: $500,000 in hardware and roughly $940,000 all-in for a standard V4 8-stall site.
The tool also spits out ROI estimates that swing wildly by location — from a 4-year payback in San Francisco to 7 years in Manhattan — and effectively prices Tesla’s own cut at a flat $0.10/kWh.
Elon Musk claimed this week that Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” is so much safer than human drivers that it could save 90% of the roughly one million lives lost in car crashes globally each year — a 10X improvement in safety.
The problem is that Tesla has never released the data that would support anything close to that claim, and Musk is already using it to pre-frame the lawsuits Tesla is facing over FSD crashes as an unavoidable cost of progress.
A newly introduced California bill could quietly reshape how passengers are carried on bicycles and e-bikes – and in the process, potentially outlaw one of the most popular features on many modern electric bikes.
Tesla stock is down roughly 20% year-to-date in 2026, and JPMorgan thinks the bleeding is far from over. Analyst Ryan Brinkman reiterated his Underweight rating this week and stuck with a $145 price target — implying another ~60% downside from where TSLA trades today.
The note landed days after Tesla disclosed a Q1 delivery miss and the largest single-quarter inventory build in company history.
In a rare bit of good news for the e-bike industry, manufacturers, importers, and advocacy groups have successfully fought off a potentially painful round of new tariffs on bicycles and e-bikes in the US.
Rove, a company founded to improve the EV charging experience by building “full service” EV charging centers with access to amenities you can use while charging, has now opened its second charging plaza in Costa Mesa, CA, and we got a sneak preview.
Tesla has started rolling out Full Self-Driving (Supervised) v14.3 to HW4 vehicles, and the headline change is under the hood: Tesla rewrote the AI compiler and runtime from scratch on MLIR, which the automaker says delivers a 20% faster reaction time.
The update, shipping as software version 2026.2.9.6, also brings a new parking spot pin on the map, better behavior around emergency vehicles and school buses, and Tesla’s first public acknowledgement that it’s leaning on MLIR — the compiler infrastructure built by Chris Lattner, who briefly led Tesla Autopilot back in 2017.
