Welcome to the electric future 🚘 All about Tesla cars,innovation & technology Inspired by the vision of Elon Musk🔋 Clean energy. Smart driving.Future living.
GOOD NEWS 🇺🇸 Cybercabs will reportedly join Tesla’s commercial Robotaxi fleet in Houston, likely just before the company’s Q2 earnings report 🔥
The service is expected to expand into two distinct areas of the city soon. One expansion zone will cover NRG Stadium and George Bush Intercontinental Airport, while the other is expected to include Daikin Park 🆒
This move will make Tesla’s coverage area roughly 50% larger than Waymo’s current footprint 🤩
GOOD NEWS 🇺🇸 California has dropped a massive tailwind for the zero-emission freight world, and it has some fascinating implications for the Tesla Semi.
Under the new Clean Fuel Reward program, Class 8 trucks qualify for a staggering $120,000 reward. Even better, the fine print reveals that this can be stacked with other incentives up to 90% of the vehicle's price.
When fleet operators combine this with the federal $40,000 commercial EV tax credit, the upfront cost barrier compared to legacy diesel is essentially obliterated.
For Tesla, this acts as a supreme margin catalyst rather than a traditional demand builder.
Tesla isn't demand-constrained. With massive pre-orders from giants like PepsiCo and Walmart already on the books, they remain heavily supply-constrained as wider production ramps up.
This massive subsidy provides incredible pricing power, ensuring Tesla won't need to lower MSRPs to compete with diesel. Every single Semi they can physically build will be instantly swallowed by the market—proving once again that the true metric to watch is how fast they can scale assembly lines at Giga Nevada.
This setup creates an incredibly exciting, high-velocity sprint for fleet operators looking to transition.
The current funding window allocates $90 million for Class 7 and 8 vehicles, meaning the first 750 trucks to cross the finish line will secure a massive competitive advantage.
While the overall program features a headline-grabbing $1 billion budget distributed over multiple years, this initial window is the perfect spark to ignite rapid adoption. It gives fleets the ultimate incentive to act fast, lock in their orders, and supercharge their logistics right now.
As we celebrate America's 250th birthday with @Freedom250, we're reminded that our nation's story has always been defined by people willing to take on big challenges.
@POTUS launched the Artemis program with a bold vision for America's future in space. Today, we're carrying that vision forward by returning to the Moon, building a permanent presence, and preparing for where we inevitably go next.
A Model Y driver started experiencing a medical emergency with chest pain mid-drive & called his son.
His son then remotely rerouted the car – which had FSD Supervised enabled – to the nearest hospital & let them know the vehicle was en route. ER staff were standing by on arrival.
Doctors later confirmed the quick reroute likely saved his life.
I have written to the Chief Constable of Hampshire Police demanding the immediate release of the Henry Nowak police bodycam footage.
National Police Chiefs' Council guidance does NOT preclude releasing body-cam footage where there is an ongoing investigation, stating:
"It is important that forces are seen to be open and transparent when responding to allegations of wrongdoing" and that
"police shouldn't create a perception that police are selectively choosing when to release footage to their advantage, thus potentially undermining public confidence".
THIS IS NOT GOING AWAY.
