We are barely a week into 2026, and we are already seeing a significant shift in the narrative regarding Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) timeline. After missing yet another high-profile deadline to achieve unsupervised autonomy by the “end of the year” in 2025, Elon Musk has now dropped a new metric that explains a lot — and raises even more questions.

In a new comment today, Musk has stated that Tesla needs to accumulate roughly 10 billion miles of data to achieve “safe unsupervised self-driving.”

The new statement raises the question: why did Musk claim that Tesla would be unsupervised in Austin just a few weeks ago, when he knew that Tesla was nowhere near 10 billion miles?

Beijing reported cleaner air than ever in 2025, with 311 days of good or moderate air quality. It’s largely thanks to strict emissions regulations and the growth of electric cars in Chinese cities.

The Trump Administration’s decision to repeal of the 30% home solar tax credit in 2025 looked like the end of the road for subsidized rooftop solar projects, but it looks like the home solar tax credit is still alive — you just have to know where to look for it, and how to claim it.

CES often highlights the diverging strategies within the portable power sector, and 2026 is no exception. Amid all the different priorities, BLUETTI seems to have gotten the memo. Instead of just stacking more LFP cells into a box, they’ve unveiled the CES 2026 lineup that tackles the two most annoying parts of the off-grid life: waiting hours for a 12V car charge and the guilt of buying more plastic-heavy gear.

While Tesla isn’t officially exhibiting on the floor, Elon Musk has been actively monitoring the event from X. His reactions, and lack thereof, to the major announcements give us a fascinating look into how Tesla views the rapidly crowding field of autonomy.

Musk was quick to comment on NVIDIA’s major push into embedded AI for autonomous systems, but he has been noticeably quiet regarding the masterclass put on by Hyundai and Boston Dynamics.

In a series of cryptic videos, Hyundai hinted that another big reveal is just days away. The teaser previews what’s expected to be a smaller, more affordable sibling to the IONIQ 5.

The SU7, Xiaomi’s first EV, took the Chinese market by storm last year. Xiaomi opened pre-orders for an upgraded, longer-range model on Wednesday, and it’s still cheaper than a Tesla Model 3, starting at 229,900 yuan ($33,000).

A new player in the electric transit space, Quebec-based Letenda, is trying to solve a problem that has plagued the transition to electric buses in North America: the “missing middle.” While we have seen plenty of full-size 40-foot electric buses and smaller shuttles, the 30-foot “midibus” market has been largely underserved.

Letenda thinks they have the answer with the “Electrip,” a ground-up design that focuses heavily on winter efficiency and a modular build.

Germany produced 18% of its electricity through solar power in 2025, up from 14% in 2024, a significant leap that meant solar overtook both coal and methane gas in the country’s electrical supply – despite the high latitudes the whole country sits at.

Days after Tesla released dismal 2025 sales numbers, CEO Elon Musk took to twitter to not only overestimate the company’s current production numbers, but to wrongly claim that they are “rising” after two years of declines.
