Tesla’s Cybertruck, known for its futuristic design and innovative features, experienced a significant decline in sales in 2025, according to new data from Cox Automotive. The electric pickup truck, which initially garnered attention for its unique appearance, saw a steep drop in sales compared to the previous year. In 2024, the Cybertruck sold nearly 39,000 units during its first full year on the market. However, by 2025, sales had plummeted to just over 20,000 units, marking a decline of approximately 48%. The downward trend was particularly evident in the fourth quarter of 2025, with sales falling more than 68% year-over-year.…
Elon Musk’s tunneling startup, The Boring Company, is exploring the possibility of creating a tunnel system that would connect Reno to Tesla Gigafactory Nevada, according to documents obtained by Fortune. The initial feasibility work for this project was funded by the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada (EDAWN), as officials sought solutions to the increasing traffic congestion and accidents along Interstate 80. The Boring Company received $50,000 in October to develop conceptual designs and a feasibility report for a tunnel that would run beneath a nine-mile section of highway leading to Gigafactory Nevada. EDAWN, a nonprofit organization that collaborates with…
They will be revived by offering incentives that make electric vehicles more affordable and appealing to consumers. By including extended-range EVs and Chinese-built vehicles in their subsidy program, Germany is showing a commitment to promoting a diverse range of electrified vehicles and encouraging competition in the market. The decision to include EREVs in the program is a significant one, as these vehicles offer a combination of electric and combustion engine power. By incentivizing the purchase of EREVs, Germany is acknowledging the role that these vehicles can play in transitioning towards a more sustainable transportation system. Additionally, the inclusion of Chinese-built…
Tesla owners with Hardware 4 (AI4) vehicles recently received reassuring news regarding the future of Full Self-Driving (FSD). Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, confirmed that cars equipped with Tesla’s current-generation AI4 hardware will be capable of achieving Full Self-Driving (Unsupervised) without needing any additional hardware upgrades. This clarification came in response to speculation online about whether AI4 vehicles might eventually require newer chips to support true autonomy. The confirmation from Musk was straightforward and clear. In response to a user noting that better hardware isn’t necessary for unsupervised driving with AI4, Musk simply replied with a “Yup,” settling the debate…

The electric vehicle market in South Korea experienced significant growth in 2025, with a surge in registrations of over 50% and EV penetration exceeding 10% for the first time. Data from the Korea Automobile and Mobility Industry Association revealed that the Tesla Model Y, imported from Gigafactory Shanghai, played a crucial role in driving this growth. According to the Korea Automobile and Mobility Industry Association’s (KAMA) 2025 Korea Domestic Electric Vehicle Market Settlement report, 220,177 new electric vehicles were registered in South Korea in 2025, marking a 50.1% year-over-year increase. The penetration of EVs in the country reached 13.1%, crossing…
This surge in LFP battery adoption in China can be attributed to government policies that prioritize the use of domestically produced batteries. The Chinese government has been actively promoting the development and adoption of electric vehicles as a way to reduce air pollution and decrease reliance on imported oil. Furthermore, the lower cost of LFP batteries has made electric vehicles more affordable for consumers in China, where price sensitivity is a key factor in purchasing decisions. As a result, Chinese automakers have been quick to embrace LFP technology and incorporate it into their electric vehicle models. Europe and some Asian…
Tesla’s Dojo supercomputer project is making a comeback, with Elon Musk announcing that work on Dojo 3 will resume now that the next-generation AI5 chip is in good shape. Originally introduced in 2019, Dojo was created as Tesla’s in-house AI training supercomputer, powered by the custom D1 chip to train neural networks for Full Self-Driving technology and beyond. However, last year Musk decided to put the project on hold, deeming Dojo 2 as an “evolutionary dead end” and focusing on fixing the AI5 chip instead. Musk’s decision to prioritize the development of AI5 now appears to be a strategic move,…
The opening of Tesla’s 44-stall Ajax Supercharger has been delayed, leaving Tesla and electric vehicle owners in the Greater Toronto Area eagerly waiting for the new charging station to become operational. The delay was reported last week, and enthusiasts are looking for ways to help expedite the process. The Ajax Supercharger was expected to be a significant addition to the charging infrastructure in the region, providing Tesla owners with a convenient and efficient way to recharge their vehicles.
