The upcoming supercharger station, in addition to the new superchargers, also features solar panels and a megapack.

Tesla China has just posted its second-highest monthly delivery number in August, producing and selling 76,965 vehicles. And even more impressively, August's delivery numbers mark the second time Giga Shanghai was able to surpass an annualized production run rate of 900,000 vehicles.

The Tesla Model Y has received a leading score of 98 percent in Euro NCAP's automatic emergency braking test despite the vehicle not being equipped with radar. This is a great testament to Elon Musk's and Tesla's belief that level 5 autonomy can be achieved using only cameras.

California is currently experiencing record heat waves and a record electricity demand with authorities warning residents to prepare for rolling blackout. And in response, Elon Musk says the state needs more solar panels & stationary batteries to deal with the current situation.

Tesla is positioned as the premium vehicle brand that has the most loyalty from its customers worldwide; but what could be the reason for this decline in more classic, legacy car companies? Different studies help analyze the situation.

Tesla is currently in the process of getting ready to launch the Cybertruck. And today, we got a glimpse into that process as a new Cybertruck prototype was spotted which appeared to have been off-road testing. This Cybertruck prototype had a broken windshield, several scratches all over the body, bolted-on Lidar sensors, and a new unconventional wheel design.

Tesla recently released a major autopilot update. The new software called FSD Beta 10.69 incorporates major improvements including solving Chuck Cook style unprotected left turn.

One of Tesla's keys to improving its driving assistance systems - and developing future fully autonomous proposals, FSD - is to have enough computing power to process the huge amount of data that comes from 3 million cars on the streets, as of August 2022. To meet this challenge, Tesla unveiled last year one of the world's most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputers; now, after a GPU upgrade, it's even much more powerful.

Elon Musk had previously confirmed that the Cybertruck will ship with easily removable side-view mirrors.
