Elon Musk has finally confirmed that Tesla’s new ‘affordable’ electric car is just going to be the Model Y in a cheaper format.

Tesla has put its foot in its mouth regarding its self-driving efforts during its quarterly conference call last night. The automaker admitted that ‘unsupervised self-driving is not solved’ on its HW4, despite Tesla highlighting how its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas is using HW4.

Tesla, through its Tesla Electric division, is partnering with Sunrun to offer electric plans to Texas homeowners.

Elon Musk claims that Tesla Robotaxi will cover half of the US population by the end of the year and we can’t stop laughing.

Tesla claims to have produced the “first builds” of its new “more affordable” electric car models, which are expected to be stripped-down versions of the Model 3 and Model Y.

After claiming a return to electric vehicle delivering growth in 2025, Tesla (TSLA) has now all but admitted that it won’t happen and has fully given up on providing guidance.

Tesla (TSLA) released its financial results and shareholders’ letter for the second quarter (Q2) 2025 after market close today.

Tesla (TSLA) sales are down 21% in California, the largest EV market in the US, and this decline is dragging the entire EV market down.

Tesla (TSLA) will release its Q2 2025 financial results on Wednesday, July 31, after the market closes. As usual, a conference call and Q&A with Tesla’s management are scheduled after the results.

Here, we’ll look at what the street and retail investors expect for the quarterly results.

Lucid’s newly announced 2026 Air lineup doesn’t reinvent the brand’s flagship sedan, but it does hone the formula with a more efficient Touring trim, added cabin comfort, and a few long‑requested equipment changes.

Lucid’s lineup is improving and trying to maintain its lead in efficiency.
