Yesterday, I wrote about Elon Musk’s long history predicting robotaxi-capable Tesla Autopilot/Full Self Driving. We then got another update from Tesla, stating: “2025 will be a seminal year in Tesla’s history as FSD (Supervised) continues to rapidly improve with the aim of ultimately exceeding human levels of safety. This will … [continued]

There are clearly Tesla fans (and, more importantly, shareholders) who will try to spin any news as positive for Tesla. It happens constantly, and it’s quite annoying when it’s obviously false and unrealistic. On the flip side, I’ve covered Tesla closely for 13 years, which means I’ve covered the dramatic … [continued]

During the 2024 US presidential campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly attacked electric vehicles and Joe Biden’s EV policies, including the US EV tax credit (which was first passed under George W.

Theoretically, legacy automakers don’t want the transition to electric vehicles to go too fast. They want to make the most money possible from existing fossil-fueled models and production lines for those models. The investments have been made — into R&D, production lines, supply chains, etc. Now automakers want to get … [continued]

One of the more wild claims Elon Musk has made — regarding Tesla, that is — was back in 2016 when he said a self-driving Tesla would be able to go from Los Angeles to New York City “in ~2 years” (in early 2018). A year and a few months … [continued]

Elon Musk has gone from dabbling in far right-wing conspiracy theories and ideas to doing what seems to be a full-on Nazi salute — twice. It seems this has hurt Tesla’s sales in California, one of its most significant markets, considerably, and Tesla actually had fewer automotive sales in 2024 … [continued]
