📝 Today’s Tesla News Summary
1. China Sales Crisis Deepens
Tesla’s Q1 2026 retail sales in China crashed 16% YoY to 112,798 vehicles, with March alone down 24%. Wholesale numbers looked stronger due to a 164% surge in exports, masking the domestic demand collapse. Competitors like BYD continue to gain ground.
2. FSD v15 Promise — Same Story, New Version
Elon Musk claims FSD v15 will “far exceed” human safety. He made identical claims about v12 (2023) and v14 (2025). Tesla has never published peer-reviewed safety data. Three concurrent NHTSA investigations into FSD remain active.
3. Musk’s 10X Safety Claim Debunked
Musk claimed FSD could save 900,000 lives annually — a 10X safety improvement. Independent researchers say Tesla’s data comparisons are fundamentally flawed due to road-type mismatch, vehicle-age mismatch, and different crash definitions than NHTSA uses.
