Tesla reaches 10 billion FSD miles — is there’s a magical milestone for autonomy

1 month 3 weeks ago

Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) fleet has crossed the 10 billion mile mark, according to the automaker’s updated safety page. It’s the threshold that CEO Elon Musk himself set earlier this year as the data milestone needed for “safe unsupervised” driving.

The achievement represents a massive acceleration in data collection — the fleet was logging roughly 29 million miles per day by late April, up from 14 million miles per day at the start of the year. But hitting a round number doesn’t mean Tesla is about to flip a switch on Level 4 autonomy.

Segway launches 60 MPH electric dirt bike – and it’s basically a full e-motorcycle

1 month 3 weeks ago

Segway may still be best known for its scooters, but the company has been quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) expanding deeper into the electric two-wheeler space. Between its growing e-bike lineup and earlier Sur Ron-style off-road models, the trajectory has been clear. Now with the launch of the new Xaber 300, Segway is diving headfirst into the electric powersports market.

And make no mistake: this is a motorcycle, not an e-bike or an e-scooter.

1966 Ford Mustang converted into a Tesla with working ‘Full Self-Driving’

1 month 3 weeks ago

A Tesla auto parts shop owner in Sacramento spent about $40,000 and two years converting a 1966 Ford Mustang into a fully functional Tesla — complete with the Model 3’s dual-motor drivetrain, 15-inch touchscreen, and working “Full Self-Driving” (Supervised).

It’s likely the first non-Tesla vehicle to run FSD, and it achieves 258 Wh/mi — roughly matching the efficiency of an actual Model 3.

Tesla launches Model 3 RWD in Canada at record-low $39,490 ($29,000 USD) from China

1 month 3 weeks ago

Tesla has launched a new Model 3 Premium RWD trim in Canada starting at just $39,490 CAD — a record-low price for the electric sedan in the country. The price, which converts to roughly $29,000 USD, is made possible by sourcing the vehicle from Giga Shanghai instead of Fremont, California.

The move marks the first time Tesla is selling China-made vehicles in Canada since the country imposed a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs back in 2024 — and it creates a massive price gap with the Model 3 Performance.
