"This is not a great sign for Tesla."

Tesla sales have plummeted in the province of Québec, with just 96 new Model 3 cars registered in the first three months of 2025.

Apparently Tesla's robotaxi reveal is upon us, which is either a watershed moment for self-driving or a total flop.

Next stage of Elon Musk’s factory development will need go-ahead from state and protest movement Trees not Teslas says it is determined to fight on

If the Senate were to pass it with those repeals in tact, it could have a devastating impact on Tesla’s energy division.

This is no way to run a robotaxi service.

Chinese brand BYD saw more pure electric car registrations in the continent than Elon Musk's EV brand in April, according to new data.

Per Inside EVs, Cybertruck owners are now allowed by Tesla to trade in their cars for the first time since they hit the market – but they’ll incur a heavy hit in the process.

This is really pretty amazing how poorly designed the Tesla doors are, where if the power fails (like in a crash or a fire), you might need to remove the speaker grill or two separate panels to get to the emergency mechanical door release.

Like, how hasn't this been recalled already?

Tesla announced a change to its corporate bylaws that will limit shareholders ability to sue the company.

Tesla is overstocked with Cybertrucks, the PS1 graphics-looking mobile monument to Elon’s deep lack of creativity.

Here’s an interesting wrinkle as Tesla’s sales plummet worldwide, with European market after European market reporting double-digit sales drops, and the all-important Chinese market showing sudden shakiness.

Only 26% of Tesla buyers in the USA are female, according to the latest data, which is way worse than EVs overall, which already skew much more male than car buyers generally.

We run the numbers and take a couple guesses at the cause.

The guidance comes amid a drop in deliveries and after earlier slowdowns of Cybertruck production.

Tesla sales falling off the proverbial cliff in the key markets of Germany and UK during April, with monthly sales falling by 46 per cent and 62 per cent respectively.

Matthew LaBrot says he became increasingly disenchanted by world’s richest man’s political activities as part of the Trump administration and feared for the future of the electric car brand

Tesla just quietly removed the one feature that made the Cybertruck make sense for long-distance driving, the range extender. For some buyers, it wasn’t just an accessory, it was the reason they ordered the truck in the first place.

This Tesla owner thought she was driving safely, but her Model Y insurance score kept tanking even at normal speeds. Now she’s wondering if the system is broken, inconsistent, or simply impossible to please.

Gone are the days when Tesla had to keep hiking prices to avoid being hopelessly swamped by demand. Now CEO Elon Musk has to fight for every new customer.

Tesla sales plunged by more than half last month in several European countries in a sign that Elon Musk could struggle to revive the company after he shifts from his Washington work to running the automaker again.

That makes 10 arson attacks in just the first half of March. Well, suspected arson/gun attacks.

Wild! I can't think of an automotive brand sparking such vigorous and violent backlash in living memory. The Hummer backlash seems quaint and mild by comparison.

In a major policy shift, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced that vehicles with 85% or more domestic content will be fully exempt from new tariffs on automobiles. That’s a steep threshold, and as of today, there’s only one automaker that qualifies for the exemption: Tesla.

From the last earnings call in 2024, Elon discussing bus-lanes:

Like, bus lanes in China are one of our biggest challenges in making FSD work in China is their bus lanes are very complicated. And there's like literally like hours of the day that you're allowed to be there and not be there.

And then if you accidentally go in at bus lane at the wrong time, you get an automatic ticket instantly... Anyway, we'll get this solved.

Wait, what do you mean - this isn't already solved? Tons of markets have time-controlled bus lanes, including American cities where FSD is fully operational.

Turns out, nope! Videos of FSD ignoring bus-only lanes are easy to find.

I feel bad for the bus drivers in Austin who will be sharing their lane with Tesla's autonomous taxi fleet in a couple weeks...

Another win for no one’s favorite billionaire.
