Tesla is working on Apple CarPlay integration inside its electric vehicles, according to a new report.

If it does happen, it would mark a major reversal of Tesla’s in-car infotainment strategy.

Tesla is now officially recalling over 10,000 Powerwalls in the US after several fires – it follows a recall in Australia earlier this year.

Tesla has launched a new version of the Model Y in China, and it’s achieving an impressive new range rating – thanks to a new battery cell from South Korea’s LG.

Tesla’s Supercharger network — already the most reliable fast-charging network in the world — just became a little easier to use. Google Maps now displays live availability data for Tesla Superchargers, showing how many stalls are currently available at each location.

Tesla has released a confusing hint that appears to tease a launch in Colombia, which would be Tesla’s second market in South America.

Emmanuel Lamacchia, the program manager for Tesla’s Model Y, its best-selling car, announced that he is leaving the automaker.

Tesla has now lost two program managers on the same day.

In October, Tesla (TSLA) saw its worst sales performance in China in years – down 36% year-over-year. It was its worst month of the year – even worse than when the automaker was transitioning production to the refreshed Model Y.

Tesla is launching a new car rental program out of its stores in the US, as sales are crashing due to the end of the federal tax credit.

It’s available at select stores in the US right now.

Tesla’s head of the Cybertruck program, Siddhant Awasthi, announced that he is leaving after more than 8 years at the company.

In the Electrek Podcast, we discuss the most popular news in the world of sustainable transport and energy. In this week’s episode, we discuss how Tesla is now Elon’s after the shareholders’ meeting, Xpeng going all-in on AI, Rivian’s earnings, and more.

Tesla has updated the design of its upcoming electric semi truck, Tesla Semi, with a redesigned chassis, new headlights, and more.

Elon Musk announced today that Tesla will enable its electric vehicle owners with (Supervised) Full Self-Driving (FSD) to “text and drive” in “a month or two,” without explaining how they will get around the clear laws that prohibit that.

Tesla has quietly expanded its new MultiPass feature to more regions across Europe, allowing owners to charge at third-party stations directly through their Tesla account — no separate app, card, or registration required.

Tesla’s EV registrations in the UK, its biggest market in Europe, took a dramatic hit in October 2025 — just 511 units — marking one of the brand’s weakest showings in recent memory. That’s a steep drop from 971 in October 2024 and 2,677 in October 2023. The tone of the market is shifting.

Maybe Tesla’s CEO stoking a civil war in England isn’t helping the automaker’s demand in the important market.

Today, Xpeng held its AI Day 2025 at its new headquarters in Guangzhou. The automaker is positioning itself as an AI company with what it calls new “AI-defined applications” powered by the new Xpeng VLA 2.0 vision-centered model.

This model is going to power the autonomous features in Xpeng’s current EV lineup, the self-driving system in its newly announced robotaxis, humanoid robots, and “flying cars.”

Today, in the margins of Xpeng’s AI Day in Guangzhou, I rode in Xpeng’s latest advanced driver assistance system, its Tesla ‘Full Self-Driving’ (FSD) competitor.

It has the same capabilities as Tesla’s new v14 update, but it is available in a ~$20,000 USD car.

A major Tesla shareholder announced that they are voting against Elon Musk’s CEO compensation package, but the odds are still in his favor.

We’re getting the first batch of Tesla registration data out of Europe for October 2025, and it confirms the worrying trend we’ve been tracking: Tesla’s demand is in a steep decline.

Elon Musk is now hyping Tesla’s 8th-gen AI chip, but he still hasn’t delivered the promised self-driving for millions of Tesla owners with the 3rd-gen chip, nor with the current 4th-gen chip in production.

Tesla has reportedly secured another major battery supply partner, but it’s not for the product you might think.

In the Electrek Podcast, we discuss the most popular news in the world of sustainable transport and energy. In this week’s episode, we discuss Tesla’s ‘flying’ Roadster, Elon’s pay package, new EVs unveiled at Japan’s mobility show, and more.

Elon Musk is back on his rambling about the Tesla Roadster being able to “fly” and claims a demo is coming by the end of the year.

But we’ve heard it before…

Tesla is acting dumb in a court case related to a fatal crash, and a judge is having none of it. The automaker is being sanctioned for ‘willful’ and ‘deliberate’ discovery violations.

Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO and Elon Musk’s rival in AI, has tried to cancel his Tesla Roadster reservation and get his $50,000 deposit refunded.

But it’s not as easy as it looks.
