No incidents or injuries were reported with the two instances the agency is aware of, but it’s looking at the possibility that there may be a wider group of potentially affected vehicles.

After the price cut, high-performance Tesla Model S and Model X Plaid models cost the same amount.

Daily home charging could be a lot simpler with inductive wireless charging, and it could help owners take advantage of bidirectional charging tech also on the way.

In the U.S. this is an essential step toward Tesla opening up "a portion" of its network toward models using CCS—and thus claiming federal funds.

With revamped power electronics coming to all Tesla models, bidirectional charging capability may allow owners to use their vehicles as mobile backup-power banks.

The Model 3 was the top-selling passenger car, while the Model Y was the top-selling light truck in California, far ahead of Toyota RAV4 sales including hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions.

Ford, General Motors, and Volkswagen already have car factories in Mexico that supply the U.S., while Mexican raw materials sourcing is also expected to satisfy EV tax credit requirements.

Tesla is claiming to apply some of its manufacturing know-how back to battery cells, in a facility that vastly cuts the investment and space needed for a specific output.

All Tesla models now have heat pumps—a complete turnaround versus a few years ago when it considered the tech unnecessary.

After years of price increases, Tesla is cutting prices by up to 20%.

Tesla vehicles are also sitting on the used-car lot far longer than models from other vehicle brands—an indication that prices may drop more.

Through the end of December, Tesla is offering a $7,500 discount on Model Y and Model 3—although they don't entirely reverse the steep price hikes of the past year.

EVs still "lag many conventional cars" in reliability, notes the esteemed group that tallies owner reliability data.

Tesla also confirmed more about the propulsion tech in the Semi, although details about the battery pack, pricing, and production remain sparse.

Tesla prices have already been hiked several times through 2021 and into 2022, so the discount cuts only some of the premiums on these sought-after EVs.

GM recently boasted its dealerships have provided "11,180 repairs on Teslas" without further elaboration on which brands are involved or whether they're trained to do so.

Through a CCS1 adapter, Tesla owners can enjoy the equivalent of Plug and Charge convenience without additional app handshakes each time.

In opening up its charging connector, renaming it NACS, and shedding the proprietary "Tesla connector" name, Tesla is also positioning for public charger investment.

Recent changes to the "calibration values" for the vehicles' electric power steering could lead to a sudden loss of steering assist. Tesla has already deployed an over-the-air fix.

Unconfirmed reports from Reuters and the Wall Street Journal this week claim that Tesla faces a criminal probe and a civil investigation from the two respective arms of federal government.
