Australia's 7 best-selling EVs are now all Chinese – even Tesla's
Australia just posted its biggest month ever for electric car sales, and for the first time seven different EVs each cleared 1,000 units in a single month. Every one of them is either Chinese-owned or Chinese-built – and that includes the Tesla Model Y that topped the chart, which rolls off the line in Shanghai.
New bill would ban Tesla's camera-only Robotaxi, not Waymo
New Jersey lawmakers are advancing a bill that would require driverless commercial vehicles to carry cameras plus two additional sensor types – a mandate Tesla's camera-only Robotaxi can't meet. The proposed law, S1677, would effectively lock Tesla out of the most densely populated US state unless it adds the radar and lidar hardware that Elon Musk has spent years insisting his cars don't need.
China is bringing buttons back to cars, ending trend led by Tesla
China will require automakers to include physical buttons for safety-related functions, pushing back on the proliferation of using screens for everything in modern cars.
Tesla leases 683,000 sq ft Austin building in Musk's Texas sweep
Tesla has leased a 682,000-square-foot speculative industrial building in the Austin Hills Commerce Center, expanding Elon Musk's already sprawling Central Texas real estate footprint. The company is set to occupy the second phase of the development at 11801 Decker Lake Road, which is scheduled for completion in January 2027. What Tesla plans to do with the space is still unknown.
