The first Tesla Model Y models with 4680 cells have been on the road for months, but only now we can get to know the difference in weight, as compared to the Model Y with 2170 cells.

Tesla's CEO Elon Musk believes that the current prices of Tesla electric cars "are embarrassing", and expects a reasonable decrease soon, under certain circumstances.

Tesla's American customers are increasingly relying on the assisted driving package: Tesla reports strong growth in average miles traveled with the FSD system.

Tesla has begun testing Model Y vehicles with 4680 batteries in Giga Berlin. This is an important step for Tesla as it seeks to grow at 50% per year in production of vehicles.

At Tesla's recently held Q2 2022 earnings call, the EV maker has revealed that it is working on a second-generation Giga Casting. And according to Tesla, the next generation Giga Casting will be used to build the Cybertruck.

At Tesla's recently held second quarter earnings call, Elon Musk has given us more details regarding the refreshed Model Y's structural battery pack. Musk says the pack is not yet optimized and that it is a "C" in an "A" architecture.

The second quarter of 2022 will be remembered as the first time in which things did not go so well for Tesla – in a relative way -, although it was obviously due to external causes: the Shanghai Gigafactory had to close for 20 days in a row and then they had to deal with many different logistics problems, which meant that finally some 50,000 cars went out of production. Still, the company announced even more capacity: 1.9 million cars.

After a seemingly endless series of price hikes, now Elon Musk says Tesla can lower prices for its vehicles if inflation calms down.

Munro & Associates is currently in the process of tearing down a refreshed Model Y with 4680 cells and a structural pack. And in the tear-down process, they have found getting to the batteries extremely challenging. This has led some individuals to believe the 4680 cells are non-recyclable. However, Elon Musk reassured us that the new cells are indeed recyclable.

Tesla could be under-utilizing its 4680 battery cells in Giga Texas made Model Y's and allow for a future software upgrade to unlock the additional range and performance of the battery.

According to data released by China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), for the first time in the month of June, the Model Y has become the best-selling vehicle in China. And even more impressively, the Model Y was able to beat not only battery-electric vehicles but also internal combustion vehicles with a starting price below $10,000.

Tesla has a surprising lead in Europe and there is one fact that truly stands out to me. Tesla is starting to outsell ALL cars in Europe, not just EVs. Let's take a closer look.

For some time now, it has been public knowledge that Tesla is working on the next generation supercharger V4. And today, thanks to a Twitter page focused on Tesla superchargers, we have gotten our first glimpse of the V4 superchargers.

Back in April, Elon Musk announced his intention to buy the social media giant, Twitter. And since this announcement, Tesla's stock has been suffering due to fears that Twitter will take Musk's attention away from Tesla.

Munro & Associates has begun the first teardown of the 4680 Model Y with a structural battery pack. From the initial observations, the firm's engineers have called the structural pack architecture mind-blowing. And now, Musk has responded to Munro & Associate's comments saying "it is still far from optimized."

Responding to a Twitter user asking when Tesla's FSD Beta 10.13 will come out, Elon Musk has stopped shy of giving a timeline, however, says "the 3 AM oil is being burned to get this out."

Tesla wants to expand production, introduce new working shifts and at the same time improve the current pace of manufacturing. Due to these expansion works, Gigafactory Berlin will have to stop activity for a few days.

According to a new estimate by Morgan Stanley, Tesla has delivered a record 158,000 vehicles in June. If the estimates are correct, this means, Tesla has already reached an annualized vehicle production run rate of 1.9 million cars.
