Elon Musk says when you consider all new things created by Tesla and are not made by other automakers, Tesla is actually more than a dozen startups in one. Here are all the different startups included in the Tesla umbrella.

Tesla and Volkswagen are ready to continue manufacturing electric cars on their Chinese production lines after the mandatory break due to the latest COVID-19 confinements in Shanghai.

Boulder City, located in Nevada and very close to Las Vegas, has been the place selected by a group of companies for the installation of a huge project that combines photovoltaic solar energy with battery storage; a big project that has become a symbol of change for the city, capable of feeding energy from the sun to a city of 60,000 inhabitants.

In a heartfelt TED Talk, 2022 interview, Elon Musk opens up about how he loses sleep over Tesla and how he works to the edge of insanity, fueled by the realization that every quality minute of thinking about the EV maker translates to a million dollars.

In an update to the company's online configurator, today, Tesla announced it will no longer be bundling the Tesla mobile connector as standard equipment that comes with the vehicle. This caused an outcry even amongst Tesla's ardant fans. However, Elon Musk listened to the concerns and has promptly responded with a remedy.

One distinguishing feature of the Tesla Model 3 & Y is that the vehicles only come with a single screen for the entire vehicle. However, this might be about to change after a teardown of the vehicles' MCU revealed a currently not in use connector dubbed "2nd display".

ARK Invest has released a new Tesla research. In this new model, ARK says Tesla can reach $4,600 per share by 2026. However, this is ARK's base case scenario, in the firm's bull case, ARK says Tesla can reach more than $5,800 per share or a $6.7 trillion market cap.

Tesla has finally given an explanation on why the refreshed Model Y only has a 279-mile range despite sporting the revolutionary 4680 cells and a structural battery pack.

Tesla is beginning production of a standard range Model Y from Giga Texas. This vehicle is eventually going to have huge margins - as high as 35% or more, once Tesla reaches volume production.

In an update to the company's online configurator, Tesla has removed all pricing information for the Roadster. This hints at an upcoming price increase. The EV maker has also sold out of the Founders Series Roadster after making $250 million from reservations.

Tesla China has just posted its second-highest monthly delivery number in March producing and selling 65,814 vehicles. This number is even more impressive when we take into account Shanghai, the location for Tesla's only China factory has been experiencing lockdowns due to a surge in COVID-19 cases.

In the past 2 years, prices of lithium have gone up 11 folds. Following this, Tesla CEO Elon Musk now is saying the EV maker is considering entering the lithium mining and extraction business at scale. Musk also added Tesla has pioneered a sustainable process of lithium mining.

The idea is based on the use of a liquid that is basically pumped through the interior of the entire seat, and a series of three layers that allow the flow to permeate through them.

Tesla is set to have its biggest celebration yet, Cyber Rodeo, tomorrow. There's a number of covered cars that I am hoping will be unveiled and talked about.

At a recent flyover of Tesla's Texas Gigafactory, we spot two different-sized Cybertruck prototypes parked next to each other. The 2 prototypes were under a car cover still, the difference is easily noticeable.

Tesla is dominating growth in Germany and the U.K., being one of the only few companies to have a positive growth in market share. Let's look at the details of this.

Tesla is currently conducting a pilot program to open up the supercharger network to none-Tesla vehicles. And this has raised the question, how much profit can the EV maker make from this move. Today, Elon Musk revealed the surprisingly small profit Tesla plans to make.

Tesla's sales data for the first quarter 2022 will be known in a few days: a period in which countless difficulties with the supply chain were in turn aggravated by the war in Ukraine.

Elon Musk has given us a detailed explanation of why Tesla Model S Plaid motors can't be used to power, his other venture, SpaceX's Starship rocket.

Today, Tesla announced yet another record delivery number for Q1 2022. Still, despite Tesla's incredible performance, CEO Elon Musk says China's zero COVID policy and supply chain disruptions have made the quarter exceptionally challenging.

Volkswagen is basically threatened by Tesla's presence in its own territory; the Trinity Project aims to match Tesla's capabilities in terms of production efficiency, for which they will also start using a Gigapress system.

Elon Musk for years has been promising level 5 autonomy is just around the corner to no avail. However, with the release of FSD Beta 10.11.1 to LVCC Loop Teslas, the EV maker has taken the first bold step in the company's Robotaxi future.
