Tesla

We've been waiting 9 years. What's another two weeks.

Days ahead of the second-generation Roadster's debut, a newly published filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office details an active rear wing that generates downforce, cuts drag, or retracts when the car anticipates a crash.

Nearly nine years after Elon Musk first unveiled the all-electric Class 8 big rig, Tesla has officially begun initial customer deliveries of its long-haul Semi.

Tesla vehicles can now carry out external errands and online tasks hands-free through Grok Bot, an upgrade the company just announced on X. While driving, users can review incoming mail, keep their schedule in order, buy things online, and have the assistant walk them through ongoing threads and stored documents.

In a surprise social announcement backed by a dynamic countdown timer on their official Roadster product page, Tesla has signaled that the long-promised next-generation Roadster is set for a reveal on October 1st.

Three years after Tesla advertised the Cybertruck as capable of powering an entire house through its charge port, the feature is now officially available. The company confirmed on one of its official X accounts that the electric pickup can supply a home during an outage through a Powerwall system.

Finding a fully electric vehicle that comfortably fits a large family without compromise used to mean spending six figures. Now, two fresh six-seat contenders are taking on the family-hauler segment with completely different philosophies.

A Tesla Model 3 that ran a stop sign and killed an 82-year-old man in Buena Vista Township, New Jersey, had its driver-assist system engaged at the time, according to Tesla's own report to federal regulators — a detail absent from every public account of the crash until now.

Tesla has officially started letting people ride in its futuristic Cybercab within limited zones of Austin, Texas.

Tesla quietly raised the price of two Cybertruck configurations in the US, updating its online configurator without altering a single specification. The Dual Motor AWD now starts at $74,990, up from $69,990, while the Premium AWD climbs to $84,990 from $79,990.

Tesla is preparing to launch its Cybercab this month, starting with rides offered to employees, according to a report from the Information cited by Reuters.

Tesla's long-delayed next-generation Roadster could finally be unveiled this month, with a demonstration reportedly set to show the car fitted with cold-gas thrusters developed alongside SpaceX.

Tesla has issued a safety recall for 20,349 electric vehicles across its Model 3 and Model Y lineups because their factory low-beam headlights exceed federal maximum brightness limits.

Is this the Tesla that families have been waiting for?

The Tesla Model S reshaped the automotive industry more than a decade ago, and in the years since, Tesla has built 10 million EVs and grown into America's dominant EV brand. However, those achievements have arrived alongside growing criticism over missed promises. The latest disappointment involves the new Model Y L, which, according to Autoblog, reached U.S. buyers without the upgraded, actively cooled wireless charging pad Tesla had advertised.

The Tesla Cybertruck is nothing if not a point of contention. Perhaps the world's most divisive automobile, the electric pickup is cause for debate and arguments of endless capacity.

A new lawsuit against Tesla shifts the focus away from standard allegations of Autopilot bugs or hardware malfunctions, centering instead on a much more straightforward claim: a vehicle's raw performance simply overwhelmed a first-time electric vehicle driver.

Tesla has asked a federal judge for emergency access to a supplier's plant in Troy, Texas, so it can remove the tooling it needs to keep building the Cybertruck.

When the official EPA efficiency numbers for the Rivian R2 Performance landed, industry watchers were impressed. On paper, Rivian's new mid-size electric SUV achieved an identical combined rating to the segment-defining Tesla Model Y Performance: 105 MPGe and 32 kWh per 100 miles.

When Tesla first unveiled the Cybertruck, it generated unprecedented hype. Armed with a polarizing, sci-fi-inspired stainless steel design, the angular pickup immediately captured the public's imagination, accumulating an estimated 1.9 to 2 million pre-launch reservations.

While this aggressive push into software is partially about profits, it’s also a defensive survival tactic.

Tesla just posted the kind of record it absolutely does not want. According to Electrek, Tesla reported 207 crashes involving its Level 2 driver-assist systems in May 2026. This is the highest single-month total in the company’s own crash reports, which it submits to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

For years, Tesla loyalists have begged the electric automaker to enter the booming e-bike market. Speculative renderings and rumors of a "Model B" electric bicycle have consistently made the rounds online.

If you’ve watched or read anything about Tesla over the past few years, you’ve probably learned that its build quality historically hasn’t been terribly good. We’ve all seen the internet memes mocking uneven body panels and panel gaps wide enough to fit a thumb through. So, wouldn't you be surprised to learn how much things have changed?

Now that Tesla has killed off the aging Model X, the brand is without a genuine multi-row family hauler.

There are 14,575 versions of the 2025-2026 Tesla Model Y now under a new recall. The need for this recall has to do with a certification label that may not have been installed. If it is missing, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 C.F.R. Part 567, "Certification."

Long after it debuted its Pet Mode—which keeps the HVAC running when the driver is not in the vehicle but a furry friend might need to stay in the cabin—Tesla has patented an innovative glass setup that would help prevent the sun from heating the car to dangerous temperatures.

Tesla is recalling nearly a quarter of a million vehicles over a rear camera issue. The affected vehicles include certain 2017 Model 3, 2021-2023 Model 3, 2020-2023 Model Y, 2021-2023 Model S, and 2021-2023 Model X vehicles. The problem has to do with operating software version 2026.8.6. With this software, the rearview camera image may be delayed in showing on the screen when the vehicle is placed in reverse.

Tesla is recalling 173 examples of the brand's 2024-2026 Cybertruck; specifically, those that came equipped with 18-inch steel wheels. The problem has to do with the brake rotor stud holes, which may crack and allow the stud to separate from the wheel hub. Losing a wheel and brake assembly is never ideal.

Say what you will about Tesla—good or bad, the brand has brought about some truly phenomenal pieces of technology over its relatively short life. Now the brand is turning its innovative talents to airbags, and reportedly, the improvements could be the difference between life and death.

If there's one tidbit of news that comes as the smallest bit of surprise out there in 2026, it'sTesla doing something unorthodox to better itself and getting caught red-handed. Say what you will about how much innovation and future-thinking the brand is responsible for, its ethics have been questionable as of late, to say the least.

Once the headline of seemingly every automotive news outlet across the globe, the landscape-changing Tesla Model S and Model X are both dead, put to rest by Tesla as the company shifts its focus further to robotaxis and human-replicating robots.

For better and worse, the Tesla Model S and Model X have been two of the most important cars to be sold in the last few decades, if not ever.

Regulators say Tesla's claims about launching a "Robotaxi" service in the San Francisco Bay Area don’t match reality as the automaker offers human-driven rides under a limousine-style permit, according to new reports.

The Tesla Model Y's flush-mounted electronic door handles are under scrutiny after U.S. regulators started looking into more than 174,000 Model Y crossovers with door handles that could fail during emergencies—potentially trapping occupants inside.

Tesla just revealed the 2026 Model Y Performance, a hotter, flagship version of the world’s best-selling EV.

Used car prices continue to rise, and while EV prices stabilize, Teslas still shed value on the used market.

The car that was first shown in 2017 is totally still coming. Honest.
