Tesla might charge you up $25,000 if you use its latest feature

Tesla's Emergency Drive Away Can Cause $25,000 in Supercharger Damage

Tesla's Emergency Drive Away feature can reportedly cause up to $25,000 in damage to a Supercharger each time it is used.
The vehicle also requires a mandatory service visit after the feature is triggered, compounding the ownership burden.
Tesla has since released additional information, though cost responsibility remains the central unanswered question.
The news lands alongside Tesla's Q3 2026 deliveries of 486,532 vehicles, a 2% year-over-year decline that still beat estimates.

Tesla ramps Optimus to hundreds a week, but the robots can't generalize

Tesla Ramps Optimus to Hundreds a Week as Generalization Lags

Tesla is reportedly producing several hundred Optimus humanoid robots per week at Fremont, roughly ten times its second-quarter rate.
The reported ramp marks a shift from prototype-style work toward measurable production cadence.
Despite the volume increase, the robots reportedly still cannot handle general tasks or adapt to unfamiliar situations.
Generalization is a software and data challenge that manufacturing scale alone does not solve.

Nearly a Decade Later, the Electric Tesla Semi Is Here

Tesla Semi Enters Volume Production Nearly a Decade After Its Debut

Tesla officially began high-volume production of the Semi at its Sparks, Nevada factory, roughly nine years after the truck debuted as a concept in late 2017.
The long-range Semi is estimated at 500 miles per charge, close to the average daily distance for US long-haul truckers, while a standard version is estimated at 325 miles; competitors advertise 155 to 430 miles.
Charging infrastructure is a major obstacle: Tesla's site lists only two public megawatt chargers, both in the Los Angeles area, though program lead Dan Priestley says 30 are planned by year's end.
Electric semis cost two to three times more upfront than diesel models, and US adoption lags China, where electrics make up nearly 30 percent of heavy-duty truck sales.

Why No One Wants to Date Tech Bros

Why Tech Workers Are Hiding Their Jobs on Dating Apps

A Wired report by Elana Klein finds that tech workers increasingly face romantic rejection tied to their employers.
A 23-year-old Palantir engineer was told medical debt was not an excuse for his job; others called him the devil or asked how he lives with himself.
His friends asked him not to mention Palantir on group nights out because it hurt everyone's chances of meeting someone.
He now describes his work vaguely as AI, keeps his employer off Hinge, and fabricated a story about his parents' medical debt.

If a Tesla Cybercab fleet were profitable, Tesla wouldn't sell you one

If a Tesla Cybercab Fleet Were Profitable, Why Is Tesla Selling Them?

Tesla is asking businesses to buy and operate Cybercab fleets on its network.
If robotaxi fleets were hugely profitable, Tesla would keep ownership to capture full margins.
The move transfers capital and operational risk to third parties.
Selling to fleets undercuts the original Uber/Airbnb-like high-profit vision.

Tesla Cybercab Under Federal Safety Investigation After Robotaxi Rollout

NHTSA has opened an Audit Query into Tesla's self-certification that the Cybercab meets federal safety standards.
The driverless two-seater, which lacks a steering wheel and brake pedals, began public rides in Austin ahead of wider robotaxi deployment in Texas and Florida.
The inquiry follows NHTSA's precedent of granting Zoox an exemption for its no-manual-control robotaxi, limited to 2,500 vehicles this year.
Former NHTSA officials say the investigation reflects regulator frustration with Tesla's decision to skip the exemption process.
