Tesla CEO Elon Musk expects there will be a dramatic uptick in the number of fully autonomous vehicles on U.S. roads without safety monitors in the second half of 2026. 

Tesla reported its earnings and revenues jumped by double digits in the first quarter of 2026 despite overall EV sales in the U.S. dropping significantly. Officials expressed excitement about its “positioning” this year as CEO Elon Musk later revealed his new $25 billion investment plan.

Self-driving technologies are the new space race with car manufacturers jostling to be the first to achieve fully autonomous vehicles. But the road to get there has been bumpy, with a track record that’s far from flawless.

“Welcome to the party, pal!” Bruce Willis yelled at a bad guy as John McClane in the movie “Die Hard.” Now it applies to Stellantis which just offered a converter for its electrified Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat, and Maserati vehicles to use the Tesla Supercharger network in the U.S. and Canada.

The ongoing investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in crashes involving Tesla vehicles while using Full Self-Driving is being escalated due to additional reports.

Sales of new electric vehicles (EV) fell off a cliff after the $7,500 federal tax credit died at the end of last September, and as a result there is a 168-day supply of new EVs on dealer lots. Time for a deal, right?

Charging anxiety replaced range anxiety as one of the top issues potential electric vehicle buyers grappled with in the last two years. A  new report reveals that public DC fast-charging port installations grew 30 percent last year — just as EV sales are plummeting.

Tesla took a sales hit in 2025. Was it just because of the expiration of the EV tax credit?

A mix of declining sales and new product expenditures combined to cut Tesla Inc.’s full-year and fourth-quarter earnings results, with the electric vehicle maker posting drops in revenue and profit but offering a rosy outlook.

While Newton’s Laws of Motion aren’t completely aligned with this notion, once something gets a push forward, it starts going. If it gets more pushes along the way, not only does it keep going, but it might accelerate.

There is arguably no OEM that has made more changes to how interiors are executed than Tesla.

Presumably part of it is based on the fact that as a comparatively young vehicle manufacturer (Telsa was founded in 2003; General Motors 1908; Mercedes-Benz 1926), its engineers and designers looked at interiors with comparatively fresh eyes.

After a long wait, Audi and Porsche owners will gain access to Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada tomorrow, but the rollout isn’t as straightforward as others have been.

Automakers shuffle executives around all the time, but it becomes a bigger story when the person being shuffled is a close associate of the CEO and is ousted after just a few months. That’s the case with Tesla’s head of U.S. and European manufacturing, who was removed from his role after only nine months on the job.

Today we brought you some seriously ugly cars, using them as examples of design gone awry.

Tesla hasn’t always accepted trade-ins or allowed leaseholders to buy the vehicle at the end of the lease term, which impacted the Cybertruck.

Though it was heavily delayed, the Tesla Cybertruck quickly became the best-selling electric pickup once it finally arrived. While it’s still selling, the Tesla has been overtaken by a legacy brand’s electric truck, dropping into the number-two spot behind the Ford F-150 Lightning.

The Tesla Model Y was once the best-selling vehicle in the world, but workers building the EV are now being told to stay home for a week due to flagging demand. The automaker reportedly told some assembly workers to take a week off during Memorial Day week or spend that time cleaning and training.

Tesla initially promised impressive range numbers of more than 500 miles for the Cybertruck, but the automaker recently decided to kill off the range-extending battery it needed to deliver those numbers.

One of the questions that keeps coming up about Elon Musk and Tesla is why the automaker’s board would allow him to remain CEO after such bumpy performances and so much drama over the last year. However, while it’s unlikely the board would remove Musk as chief executive, a recent report from the Wall Street Journal shows that the wheels of succession might be turning at Tesla. Before going too far, however, it's important to note that both Musk and the Tesla board have vehemently denied the reports, accusing the WSJ of publishing false stories.

A California Tesla owner has filed a lawsuit that alleges the automaker sped up his vehicle’s odometer, causing the warranty to expire faster than it would have normally. Plaintiff Nyree Hinton said the automaker’s odometer readings don’t reflect actual mileage, and instead rely on driving behavior, algorithms, and energy consumption to calculate mileage.
