Haters have been saying Tesla is finished in Germany and the rest of Europe. To their disappointment, the doomsday narrative is fading, and Tesla is rebounding strongly across Europe.
In the first half of 2026, Tesla registered 28,857 vehicles in Germany β a 224.6% increase compared with the same period in 2025.
This could mark the beginning of a new growth chapter for Tesla, with FSD approvals helping accelerate sales.

NEWS: Tesla will pass 10 million cumulative vehicle deliveries this quarter
Tesla ended Q2 2026 with 9.72 million cumulative deliveries. It needs just 278,930 more to reach 10 million.
Tesla delivered 480,126 vehicles in Q2 2026 alone. Q3 will comfortably clear the 10 million milestone.
The pace is accelerating. Tesla reached 1 million cumulative deliveries in March 2020. It took 12 years to hit that first milestone.
The next 4 million took 4 years. Tesla reached 5 million cumulative deliveries in early 2024.
The next 5 million took only 2.5 years. Tesla is now delivering nearly 2 million cars per year.
Model Y accounts for 5.39 million of those deliveries. Model 3 accounts for 3.50 million. Together they represent about 89% of Tesla's lifetime deliveries.
Model Y remains the best selling electric vehicle of all time.
This week Tesla also reported its best Q2 delivery quarter ever. It launched the Model Y Long Wheelbase in the US and UAE. It marked its 23rd anniversary.
Guys, $TSLA launched their Robotaxi service in Miami with NO ONE in the vehicle to supervise. Thatβs one of first cities to do this so far.
I donβt think you understand how big of a deal that is.
If they can go unsupervised from the get go, that decreases time to market and increase margins as no driver is needed.
Texas has over 102 fully autonomous unsupervised Robotaxis and that number will continue.
We should see Arizona, Nevada, Washington and a few other states come online very soon.
The fleet should also be expanding with more unsupervised vehicles in existing cities across Texas and Florida.
The flood gates are about to open in a big way with the recent launch of the Tesla Cybercab.
In its Q4 2025 earnings update, Tesla announced plans to expand its Robotaxi service to seven additional cities by the first half of 2026: Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Las Vegas.
More recently, Tesla received approval to operate unsupervised Robotaxis in Miami. Rather than rushing, the company is steadily and methodically turning its rollout plan into reality.
πΊπ¦ Ukraine is winning the war started by π·πΊ Russia.
Most people believe wars are decided on the front line by gaining territory, but Ukraine is winning the war by knocking out the logistics a process that is not immediately visible, unfolds over time but is decisive.
We may well see a decisive breakthrough on the Zaporizhzhia front I the south in the direction of Tokmak in the coming months and should this occur, Ukraine would have the opportunity to advance to the Black Sea, thereby cutting off Crimea and the occupied territories in the south.
The progress the Ukraine army already made is impressive and most can't see it because they don't understand that logistics is all and everything in a war.
Logistics destroyed, capabilities reduced. βIn June, the Defense Forces hit over 200,000 enemy targets, with a massive focus on supply lines and deep strikes. Thanks to the e-Points system, we are identifying effective tactics and scaling them across the entire front.
It's been a big week for us at Tesla. We closed Q2 with 480,126 vehicles delivered, beating expectations.
I'm also really proud of launching the new version of our vehicle configurator and inventory ordering experience, alongside the most awaited Model Y L. Getting both of these out together was a lot of fun! Check it out https://t.co/EHQEzV09ku
None of this happens without great people, and that's exactly why we're growing the team, across engineering, design, and product. If you love building and want to ship work that reaches millions of people, see open roles https://t.co/nytyHYt8Si
Happy 4th of July! π±π·
FSD works on older Teslas with HW3 just fine and that makes a huge difference.
Remember all those claiming FSD will never work on HW3 and Elon is misleading people and the market?!
They have been proven wrong again and again.
Tesla delivers, not always on time but what matters is that the company delivers on promises.
FSD v14 lite drives me from Los Angeles to Las Vegas with zero human intervention.
No other car on the road you can buy could do this today besides a Tesla.
FSD handled all 5 hours of driving including parking, unparking, and charging. I never touched the steering wheel.
NEWS: Tesla Model Y ranked as the world's best selling electric vehicle in May!
The Model Y logged 93,571 registrations for the month.
Sales rose 16% year over year.
The standard trims and the three row Model Y L powered the gain.
The #2 Geely Xingyuan trailed with 46,483 registrations.
No legacy automaker landed a single model in the global top 20.
Well well well. On the LOOONG weekend where things keep happening. I was on the way home from grabbing some takeout before heading to work tomorrow, and look what I stumbled into testing on Chucks Unprotected Left Turn in Jacksonville FL. The Cybercab! It had a driver in the drivers seat and was most likely collecting data. But this is further indication that this @Robotaxi thing is going to explode before we know it.
Its coming. Get ready. @Tesla_AI

Mass Protests Against Cost-Cutting at Mercedes-Benz
More than 33,000 Mercedes-Benz employees have protested today against the company's cost-cutting plans. Workers demonstrated "against an unpaid increase in working hours from 40 hours, collectively bargained benefits, excessive dividends, and the company's austerity drive."
The protests took place at all of the company's locations across Germany. According to the IG Metall union, further protests at other automakers and suppliers are planned for the coming weeks.
In a letter to employees in Germany, the executive board stated that the company must "continue to cut costs with great urgency" to remain price-competitive. "Despite all our efforts, the situation in Germany today is critical," the letter read.
As an immediate measure, the company intends to defer a special payment scheduled under collective agreements for July until next year for a large portion of the workforce. Additionally, management plans to discuss extending working hours from 35 to 40 hours without wage compensation with the works council in the coming weeks.
German employees still seem to believe they can rest on past successes and offset their lack of competitiveness through protests. Companies in the German automotive industry that fail to uncompromisingly implement drastic cost reductions while simultaneously producing competitive battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) no longer have a right to exist.
