Remmy Evans learned via a friend that a Tesla Model 3 was sitting in some guy’s driveway in Idaho. The owner had bought it cheaply with the intention of removing the drivetrain and installing it in an old car from the 1970s, but he abandoned the plan after realizing how much time the body work would take. Evans was able to negotiate a price of exactly $2k and walk away with a rolling chassis that was still capable of moving on its own.
Tesla finally received approval on April 10 from the Dutch vehicle regulator, the RDW, for its Full Self-Driving Supervised system to be used on European roads. They were the first to receive approval for this advanced technology across Europe, marking a significant milestone for the company. This means that the program has been cleared to run on public roads in the Netherlands, and the distribution began the next day, April 11, for a limited number of early testers who had been patiently waiting.
Tesla owners with HW4 hardware awoke today to get a lot more out of their automobiles. The most recent FSD (Full Self-Driving) version 14.3 was released with the recently released software update 2026.2.9.6, and it’s impossible not to get the impression that some significant progress has been achieved since the first drive. The team basically ditched the existing AI compiler / runtime and started over, using a new method called MLIR.
Jay Leno climbed into the cab of a Tesla Semi, settled into the center seat, and eased the truck forward with a fully loaded trailer in tow, right there on the tarmac outside his garage. The 500 mile range variant, and by all accounts it felt planted and composed from the moment it started moving, even with another Semi trailing behind it.
Elon Musk made a game-changing announcement hours ago when he revealed plans for Tesla’s Terafab during a live event, taking its work on vehicles and robots literally out of this world. The initiative is a game changer, bringing together SpaceX and xAI to create the world’s largest chip factory. The sheer scale of the operation is mind-boggling, since Terafab will be capable of producing 1 trillion watts of finished chips every year, all under one gigantic roof that will house logic circuits, memory storage, and final packaging.
Tesla brought a Cybercab prototype to SXSW 2026 for a few days of public viewing alongside their Optimus humanoid robot, and the crowds responded exactly as you might expect. Cameras were out everywhere, and a lucky few even managed to slip inside for a moment. The display itself was deliberately understated, with the Cybercab parked in a single spot rather than moving under its own power, letting the design do the talking.
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.
