A new Tesla Cybertruck model will make a limited appearance at $59,990, with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive option available for only the next ten days. Elon Musk has set a tight timetable for it, giving a sense of urgency to a truck that is already turning attention with its angular design and stainless steel body.
Tesla has made considerable progress toward fully autonomous vehicles, and its staff at Gigafactory Texas are clearly excited. Just the other day, they gathered around the first Cybercab to roll off the assembly line, a streamlined two-seater with no visible steering wheel or pedals, and Tesla even shared the moment on social media, complete with a congratulatory message from Elon Musk himself on the team’s excellent work.
Tesla has officially released a fresh new All-Wheel Drive version of the Model Y, with prices starting at $41,990 in the US. This new variant adds not just dual-motor traction, but also a significant boost in acceleration to the more affordable end of the lineup, without breaking the bank.
Tesla has announced that production of the Model S and Model X will conclude by the end of the second quarter of 2026. CEO Elon Musk revealed the news during the company’s Q4 2025 earnings call, stating that it is a fitting finale to programs that once characterized the brand. These two vehicles, which were once staples of the Tesla lineup, now account for only about 3% of the company’s overall sales. Clearing away space at the Fremont factory will be beneficial because the company’s next top priority is to ramp up manufacturing of Optimus humanoid robots in large numbers.
No, this isn’t the rumored Cybervan, but rather the Russo-Balt F200, a full-size electric van built from unpainted stainless steel with a sharp, angular form clearly influenced by the Cybertruck. We’ve all been waiting for a Tesla van for years, but until now, there has been nothing. Now, a Russian entrepreneur has stepped in to create a near-miss that should fill the void.
Tesla released a video today that shows their lithium refinery in action just outside Corpus Christi, Texas. Jason Beavenon, the site manager, gives us a tour of the facilities. What’s impressive is that this is a fresh new, one-of-a-kind factory in North America that can convert spodumene ore into battery-grade lithium hydroxide in a cleaner manner than typical lithium refineries.
A father of four looked at his gleaming new Tesla Cybertruck and couldn’t help but think the same thing every time he packed the kids in: it’s simply not designed for a family of six, with only five seats after all. Tesla abandoned the idea of a front bench layout in 2019, but when production vehicles arrived, they included a fixed center console instead. Rather than waiting for things to change, he decided to create his own six-seater.

On December 18th, a gleaming new Tesla Cybercab slowly emerged from an underground parking lot in downtown Austin, Texas, and glided onto public highways. The images obtained at the time clearly show that there is no steering wheel, not even a single pedal, and the interior appears to be one large smooth surface with room for two people.
A 1972 BMW 2002 stands on a quiet Houston street, its Golf Yellow paint giving off a warm glow with the afternoon sun in the same manner it did half a century ago. This two-door coupe, which had only 19,000 miles before heading into a Munich workshop for a tune-up a few years ago, appears like a battle-hardened survivor from a time when cars had true character. Edgar and Nicolas Navarro run Bavarian Econs Tech out of a generic small garage in Munich; they removed the ancient 4-cylinder engine, which used to purr along in traffic, and filled the empty area with batteries and wires. What eventually emerged on the other side is known as the 2002te.
