There are a lot of leaks right now regarding Rivian's R2 specs and pricing, and if they are true, Rivian has a killer product in its hands. It will dominate the higher-end of the midsize SUV segment. It will badly hurt Tesla's "Premium Model Y".

A Threads user named Laushi Liu posted dashcam footage from his Tesla Model 3 on Sunday, March 8, showing the vehicle on “Full Self-Driving” mode driving through a railroad crossing barrier. electrek.co/2026/03/09/t...

I think the Supercharger network is probably Tesla’s best product ever. If Tesla can replicate that playbook for trucks, it would be a massive deal, enabling long-haul electric trucking. electrek.co/2026/02/24/t...

It would be pretty funny if this brown-nose demon called the absolute top in her attempt to protect Epstein's friends.

Tesla got a new extension on delivering its FSD violation data to NHTSA. There are literally too many and Tesla has to take the time to ask for redaction on everything. This is Tesla's Epstein files. electrek.co/2026/02/23/t...

We are aware of dozens of similar cases currently going through the court process on top of half a dozen known settlements since the original verdict in this case. We are talking billions of dollars in potential settlements and verdicts over the next few years. electrek.co/2026/02/20/t...

The fact that it's been eight months and Tesla hasn't delivered a single additional car this way confirms what we warned about at the time: this was a marketing event, not a technology deployment. electrek.co/2026/02/19/t...

This regulatory spat between Tesla and Waymo is proving to be quite revealing. This filing is the clearest illustration yet of the gap between Tesla’s “Robotaxi” marketing and its actual operations. electrek.co/2026/02/19/t...

AI has been a thing for 5 minutes and these maniacs are already using it to kill people. Humanity is begging to end itself.

I missed Jesus’ teaching about attending the “wildest parties” on p3do island.

As Tesla moves away from promising unsupervised self-driving in consumer vehicles, I've been working on a model to try to determine Tesla's potential liability for the false promise on millions of cars. Any thoughts?

I’m currently in Tulum testing the BYD Shark. I increasingly feel like this vehicle and others like it, PHEV pickup with decent all-electric range, could be the missing link to help boost EV adoption n the pickup-hungry US market, which is being left behind the rest of the world in electrification

I'm taking a break from Twitter and trying to give Bsky a real shot. Who are some great follows for Tesla, EVs, AI, and MMA?

This is suspicious as hell. It was reportedly recorded at Tesla's 'Autonomy Visualized' in Miami this weekend and posted to Reddit. Optimus falls as if it is removing a VR headset – pointing to human teleoperation.

The petro-dollar is dead. Long live the electro-dollar. In this op-ed, I tried to explore the idea that if the present is electric and the future is even more electric, then it makes sense for electricity to be the foundation of the economy.

Elon on Lucid in 2024: "Their Saudi sugar daddy is the only thing keeping them alive." Elon in 2025 - deal with Saudi sugar daddy:

Nesher's electric loaders are super versatile. You can use them to move bodies on renewable energy without any emission, noise, smelly diesel:

Nesher's versatile all-electric loaders are now available in Canada, starting at $25,000 CAD. www.nesherequipment.com/blog/nesher-...

I made a few points in this article that I think are important: 1- Elon is the one forcing this all-or-nothing compensation plan. "You don't want him to get paid" is not a valid argument. electrek.co/2025/10/28/e...

What I find particularly funny about this post is that the account is setup as if it’s Optimus responding, but you know a human wrote it. Just like all of Optimus’ public demos so far, it’s a human trying to pass as a robot.

This month marks 10 years that I've been writing for @electrek.co. I'm proud of that. Massive shoutout to the best independent tech publisher on the planet, @llsethj.bsky.social , and the passionate team of reporters who consistently push to accelerate sustainable transport and renewable energy.

I tried to build a clear timeline of Musk's attempts to gain complete control over AI. He went from trying to do it at OpenAI, then Tesla, and now xAI.

Kimbal Musk, Elon's brother and Tesla board member/puppet, basically just called Trump a "retard". I bet the Trump/Elon fallout is ahead of schedule.

Elon joins the US gov, Tesla surge, Elon leaves the US gov, $TSLA surge. It doesn't make sense. It's a meme stock.

I think Tesla has become a complete meme stock, and its value almost entirely hinges on people believing Elon Musk is a super genius and not a compulsive liar despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Even the most pessimistic analysts didn't expect 336k deliveries - 50,000 units fewer than last year. The giant miss would point to especially bad performance in the US since we have pretty good visibility in Europe and China.

The biggest irony is that Musk was pushing those baseless claims of people getting paid to attend Tesla protests, while he was himself at a rally he organized to promote the Republican Candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court where he was financially incentivizing people to attend.

Well, this explains how X's bank valuation went so quickly from ~$12B in 2024 back to ~$44B last month. Musk had made the xAI offer, increasing the valuation. Between SolarCity, his Tesla CEO compensation plan, and this, Musk is a master of negotiating with himself.

This should be a clear message to Tesla's shareholders and board $TSLA. Without Musk, Tesla would fair much better in the US. It's important to note that the majority of respondents in this survey reported being moderate or conservative.

Tesla is becoming a political pawn. UK finance minister says she is still negotiating with the US over the new auto tariffs and casually drops that she is looking into why Tesla gets helps in the UK from its EV incentives.

Put together a list of where all EVs available in the US are assembled in this article. The US' isolation continues. Expect reciprocal tariffs coming from everywhere.

Canadian gov confirmed that it froze Tesla's $43 million in rebates applied days before the pause of the EV rebate program in January. Tesla is believed to have made thousands of claims before actually delivering the vehicles – leading to dealers who actually delivered EVs not getting the rebates.

Tesla has no backlog of new Model Y Launch Edition orders in the US. New orders can be delivered same-day.

Elon on self-driving: if you think it won't get better, it's like believing that a toddler will stay a toddler forever. Elon is living proof that one can stay a toddler forever.

Tesla has laid off US workers and replaced them with foreign workers on H-1B visas. Many of those US workers were more senior with higher compensation and replaced with junior foreign workers for lower comp. But that's not even the bigger problem.

Exclusive: Tesla is having issues with new version of HW4 computer short circuiting resulting in failures of the features powered by the computer, including safety features. The issue has been affecting cars produced since July. Tesla service is being told to play it down to keep people in cars.

This is what I've been fearing for years and more so following the giant wave of layoffs earlier this year. Elon is only keeping and promoting ultra-loyalists at Tesla. Here we have Tesla's newly promoted VP of self-driving and AI calling a judge corrupt for simply following the law. It's madness

I don't get it. Elon is upset that one of the accounts he boosts and gives tens of thousands of dollars to every month is operated by a prostitute? That's an upgrade compared to the real scum he boosts on the daily.

Elon Musk's social media addiction beautifully visualized:

Air quality sucks today. No problem, I got my own oxygen.

Tesla has put Nissan back in the list of automakers getting Supercharger access in NA "soon". It sounds like Tesla prematurely confirmed Ariya drivers having access yesterday. However, we hear that it should be coming soon.

Thanks Jim. Yes, I've become more strident against Tesla fandom lately but I'd argue against the realization being "recent". I wrote this then controversial op-ed in early 2020 warning about where things were headed w/ Tesla fandom and elon's social media feedback loop. electrek.co/2020/05/12/t...

"Fred is so salty about Tesla." Untrue. I'm truly impressed by all the industries Tesla is revolutionizing. Salt and pepper shaker makers don't know what is coming.

A new era. We hope you like it.

Elon is already copying the work of the other department for government efficiency… but that department wasn’t good enough. Now, they need a second one. You know. For extra efficiency.

Show me a Tesla self-driving car and I'll change the headline.

STOP THE PRESSES! Tesla is going to launch an Optimus action figure, according to a new trademark application.

It was just a few years ago when Tesla was lobbying for this tax credit. Now that Elon doesn't want it as he is willing to slow down the entire US EV industry in favor of Tesla coming on top in a few years, it's also Tesla's policy It goes directly against the mission. Sad day.

Should Tesla offer the ability to revert to older FSD versions? I vote yes. I'm having the worst time on v12.5.4.2, and .1 felt better. The limited (but best available) data also points to the older version being better. It just veered into the shoulder when trying to take an exit. First for me.

I'm confused by this one. August: Tesla claims production capacity of 700k November: Tesla claims production capacity of 365k.
