In the second part of his interview with Tesla Owners Silicon Valley, Elon Musk had some harsh words for fellow EV makers Rivian & Lucid. In the interview, Musk said "both Rivian and Lucid will go bankrupt" that their path "will end in an intersection with doom" and that "they will end up in the cemetery" unless they change course.

We contrast an internal combustion engine-powered Acura Integra with a battery-electric Tesla Model 3 to see how they match up. The answer surprised us.

Tesla started refreshed 4680 Model Y deliveries at the Giga Texas opening event. However, initial deliveries were limited to Tesla employees.

In the past 6 months, bitcoin is down 67% with 16% of the fall coming in the past 48 hours. And as the cryptocurrency has gone lower, Tesla is down 32% in its bitcoin holdings.

We have a road trip from Shelby Church, going 1,200 miles in a 2019 Tesla Model 3 with about 220 miles of total range (a standard range version). We see how many times she stopped, how much it cost to charge -vs- a gas car, and if she would rather road trip in a Tesla or some other vehicle.

A new Tesla Giga Berlin drone flyover suggests, that Tesla has begun taking deliveries of robots that will be used to produce 4680 battery packs. The new battery pack will power the refreshed Model Y with 4680 cells and a structural battery pack.

Tesla surprised the high-tech world last year by hosting "AI Day", where it basically presented its latest technological innovations: more specifically a humanoid robot introduced with the name "Tesla Bot"; a project that Elon Musk just confirmed will actually have its first working prototype, which will be shown during an event that will take place at the end of September this year.

Following Elon Musk's company-wide letter requiring Tesla employees to spend a minimum of 40 hours in the office, the EV maker's competitors have already begun attempts to hire away Tesla employees. Musk says these actions show why a "recession serves a vital economic cleansing function."

Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020, the whole world started to witness a curious trend: manufacturers selling fewer cars, but actually making more money. Supply chain problems basically caused that, as a consequence, there are fewer cars on the market, and those actually available are more expensive. Due to excess demand, traditional discounts have been mostly suppressed and - as experienced by every automaker - competition has been reduced.

Since the 2020 elections relations between Elon Musk and the Democratic party have been anything but smooth. And now Musk says even though he is hesitant to admit it, former President Donald Trump was better for Tesla & SpaceX than Joe Biden.

Elon Musk has doubled down on his standoff with the Indian government saying, Tesla will not build a factory in the country unless it is first allowed to sell & service its cars.

The Tesla Model 3 standard range is Tesla's cheapest car. We have someone who has the truth about owning it after a year and let's see what they had to say about it.

Elon Musk has been amping up his feuds with one political party’s politicians. Will activist shoppers avoid buying the best EVs made in America?

Tesla continues to allocate a significant amount of resources to an issue that is decisive and crucial to promoting the massive adoption of electric cars: expanding the network of fast charging points. The Supercharger network is one of the key features that allowed Tesla to distance and in fact, differentiate itself from other brands that also sell 100% electric vehicles.

According to a new research paper published by Tesla's battery research team head by Jeff Dahn, the group has discovered a new nickel battery chemistry that can last 100 years. The new battery couples the high energy density of nickel batteries with the long life cycle of lithium iron phosphate cells.

Elon Musk has declared war by creating a hardcore litigation department within Tesla and the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are outselling EVERYTHING in California. We'll go over this and much more now.

Having eliminated some features, Tesla's autonomous driving system FSD will once again operate at speeds close to those used with the radar suite.

Yesterday, I reported on a suspiciously large Tesla short position opened before Bussiness Insider's Elon Musk sexual misconduct story came out.

The existence of this project was first made known in September 2020 during Tesla Battery Day.

Tesla's Texas Gigafactory, although the largest building in the world, is still slightly less than a mile long. And now Musk says the EV maker will be extending Giga Texas to make it an even mile. Musk also explains the practical reason why Tesla's factories need to be so large.
