📝 Full Transcript

Good morning, this is your Tesla Daily Update for Tuesday, August eleventh, twenty twenty-six.

Tesla shares ended Monday’s session essentially flat at three hundred thirty dollars and eighty-eight cents, holding steady against a prior close of three hundred thirty dollars and eighty-eight cents. Trading volume was light, and the stock remains well below its fifty-two-week high of four hundred ninety-eight dollars and eighty-three cents, but well above its fifty-two-week low of two hundred ninety-seven dollars and thirty-eight cents. Because United States markets have not yet opened for Tuesday’s session at the time of recording, today’s market discussion reflects the most recent verified close from Monday.

In product news, Tesla’s chief designer Franz von Holzhausen said a new Roadster is coming very soon. The statement came on the latest episode of a popular car podcast, and it marks another in a long series of teaser comments since Tesla first unveiled the second-generation Roadster in twenty seventeen. The Roadster was originally promised for twenty twenty, but production timing has slipped multiple times as Tesla focused on Model Y, Cybertruck, and the upcoming Cybercab.

Speaking of Cybercab, Tesla posted photos today of what it is calling the first Cybercab with a Starlink antenna built into the vehicle. The pictures show a gold Cybercab parked at Gigafactory Texas, with the satellite internet antenna integrated cleanly into the bodywork. The integration suggests Tesla is positioning the robotaxi for always-connected operation, which would be critical for autonomous dispatch and remote fleet management.

In regulatory news, Tesla has acknowledged a power conversion system defect in pre-twenty-twenty-six Cybertrucks and is extending the warranty on those vehicles to eight years or one hundred fifty thousand miles. The reversal follows months of owner complaints about high-voltage warnings and drivetrain shutdowns. Tesla confirmed the change in an internal service bulletin distributed to technicians this week.

In California incentive news, Tesla exhausted its entire share of the state’s new MyFirstEV rebate program in just five days. The rebate only went live for Tesla buyers on August third, and buyers claimed roughly half of Tesla’s allocation within hours before the program was fully tapped. The rapid uptake highlights both strong demand and how quickly incentive budgets can disappear once a major automaker joins.

Finally, in energy storage news, a five hundred megawatt-hour Tesla Megapack battery has just gone live in Texas. The Megapacks are now helping support the Texas grid at Orsted’s new two hundred fifty megawatt Old 300 battery storage project. It is one of the largest single-site storage deployments tied to Tesla hardware so far this year.

That’s all for today’s Tesla update. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s news.
