LOL... the Toyota Corolla in the background clearly had no issue driving through that water.

I was watching a Cybertruck driver “test the truck’s wade mode,” and was treated to some accidental comedy.

He manages to break a wheel well cover off, fry the electronics for the bed, and flood the frame. Like, enough water in the frame that he can hear it.

In short, definitely ready to be a boat. Propeller accessory when?!

Here’s an interesting wrinkle as Tesla’s sales plummet worldwide, with European market after European market reporting double-digit sales drops, and the all-important Chinese market showing sudden shakiness.

Only 26% of Tesla buyers in the USA are female, according to the latest data, which is way worse than EVs overall, which already skew much more male than car buyers generally.

We run the numbers and take a couple guesses at the cause.

TL;DR: The CyberTruck is 17 times more likely to have a fire fatality than a Ford Pinto.

Ready for unsupervised FSD in 26 days for Austin cybertaxis, DEFINITELY.

In what can only be described as the world's fastest off-road DNF, a Tesla Cybertruck met its untimely end in the parking lot of The King of Hammers… before the race even started.

The kicker? Practically the same exact thing happened last year.

The Polish armed forces are training citizen volunteers how to be armed partisans, firing rifles and donning gas masks.

That's... not great. The program is apparently popular, so they are expanding its capacity so that every adult male receives the training.

That makes 10 arson attacks in just the first half of March. Well, suspected arson/gun attacks.

Wild! I can't think of an automotive brand sparking such vigorous and violent backlash in living memory. The Hummer backlash seems quaint and mild by comparison.

"It does what no other truck can do" is true, if you count bursting into flames at unprecedented rates as a feature.

We’re seeing another sticky situation develop, after Tesla recalled 46,096 Cybertrucks to stop them from falling apart because the stainless steel panels are held on with the wrong glue. This time, it’s the Cybertruck’s off-road light bar that’s flinging itself off at highway speeds. Incredibly, the light bar is also glued in place.

Recall when?

We wondered what Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai meant when he said on their earnings call last Thursday that for Waymos, “there is future optionality for personal ownership.”

Well, we only had to wait a minute to find out. Waymo announced today that they’re developing autonomous technology with a little automotive manufacturer you may have heard of: Toyota.

Tucked into the announcement, Waymo also plans to release a generalizable autonomous driving system for any given vehicle. Read our full analysis!

In a major policy shift, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced that vehicles with 85% or more domestic content will be fully exempt from new tariffs on automobiles. That’s a steep threshold, and as of today, there’s only one automaker that qualifies for the exemption: Tesla.
