Unveiled the second-generation Roadster and opened reservations for its Performance and Thrust trims
Tesla showed the second-generation Roadster at SpaceX's McGregor, Texas, test site on Oct. 15. The two-seater used a suction system to drive upside down on a ramp, spun in midair and landed on cold gas thrusters. Tesla is taking $50,000 deposits for the Performance version and $250,000 for the Thrust version; the Rocket trim, with a full flight system, is invite-only.

Facing declining sales and an exodus that now spans every division, including energy and robotaxi
Tesla has lost senior leaders in powertrain, software, finance, sales, manufacturing, customer experience and energy since April 2024. The Cybercab program took the worst of it in 2026: its program manager, its new-product-introduction head, two assembly leads and the director who built the robotaxi software all left.

Named in the referral to build and maintain the system
Australia's federal environment department has cleared Octopus Australia's 500-megawatt battery project in Queensland, ruling that no further federal assessment is needed. The site holds 3.26 hectares of mapped koala habitat, but 2026 surveys found no koalas, and a November 2026 construction start stays on track.
Offtaker under long-term power purchase agreement
A solar farm that has been in planning in one form or another since 2010 finally broke ground in the Mojave Desert. ContourGlobal is building Project Sterling about 20 miles north of Lake Havasu City, Arizona: 509 MW of solar panels paired with 1.4 GWh of batteries across 2,000 acres.

Authorized for up to 5,000 robotaxis in Clark County
Waymo began inviting public riders in Las Vegas on September 14, weeks after Nevada regulators approved paid driverless rides. It's the Alphabet-owned company's 15th market, and Amazon's Zoox is already operating there.

Reported record deliveries, faces margin scrutiny
Tesla and Alphabet reported second-quarter results after U.S. markets closed on July 22. They are the first of the seven mega-cap tech firms Wall Street calls the Magnificent Seven to open the season.

Operating paid driverless service in Texas and Florida; Cybercab production ramping at Giga Texas
In western Miami-Dade County, you can now open an app and ride in a Tesla with nobody in the driver's seat. On July 6, 2026, Tesla began running its Robotaxi service on public Miami streets with no human safety monitor in the car. Tesla shares closed up 6.7% that day — lifted by the Miami launch and a Q2 delivery report that beat analyst estimates by about 18%.

Issuer of the disputed shares; reincorporated in Texas in 2024
In 2018, Tesla's board agreed to pay Musk stock options if he hit a string of growth targets, with a maximum theoretical value of about $56 billion—already the largest CEO pay package ever written. Eight years later, Tesla is actually moving to hand over the shares, now worth more than $100 billion.

Model S/X production ended April 2026; Fremont line converting to Optimus with production start late July–August; Gen3 reveal delayed to mid-year; no 2026 volume target given
Twelve months ago, a humanoid robot finished Beijing's E-Town half-marathon in 2 hours and 40 minutes. It was the only competitor of twenty that didn't overheat, fall over, or need repairs. On April 20, 2026, a different robot completed the same 21.1-kilometer course in 50 minutes and 26 seconds — faster than any human has ever run the distance.
Facing consecutive annual delivery declines and growing inventory
Tesla delivered 358,023 vehicles in the first quarter of 2026 — roughly 8,000 fewer than Wall Street expected — while producing over 50,000 more cars than it sold. That growing gap between production and deliveries signals something automakers dread: cars sitting on lots because buyers aren't showing up. The miss marks at least the fifth quarter in which Tesla has underperformed analyst expectations since early 2024.

Pursuing semiconductor vertical integration
Every company designing custom artificial intelligence chips today (Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft) pays someone else to manufacture them. Tesla just announced it will build and operate its own semiconductor fabrication plant, a $20 billion facility called TeraFab targeting the 2-nanometer process node, the most advanced manufacturing technology in existence. No company without decades of chipmaking experience has ever attempted this.
Operating robotaxis in Austin, Dallas, and Houston; Cybercab in production; facing pre-recall NHTSA probe
By April 2026, Tesla had expanded its unsupervised robotaxi service to Dallas and Houston, bringing the combined Texas fleet to about 573 vehicles. Newly unredacted crash reports tell a messier story: two of the 17 Austin incidents involved remote teleoperators who drove vehicles into a fence and a construction barricade.

Provided telemetry data access to Lemonade, expanding FSD ecosystem
For a century, auto insurers priced risk based on the driver: age, driving record, location. Lemonade's January 2026 partnership with Tesla is the first major attempt to price risk based on which entity—human or software—is actually controlling the vehicle. Tesla owners using Full Self-Driving get a 50% rate reduction on miles driven with the system engaged, a discount five times larger than Tesla's own insurance offers. The product launched in Arizona on January 26, 2026.
