Tesla News - Steering Probe Closed, Berlin Expansion, Supercharger Evolution, FSD Risks and Rescues

This episode covers multiple major Tesla developments important to investors and enthusiasts. In the United States, regulators have closed a power steering investigation into hundreds of thousands of Model 3 and Model Y vehicles after Tesla addressed the issue with an over‑the‑air recall, easing a key regulatory overhang. In Europe, Tesla is both deepening its infrastructure moat and expanding manufacturing: the company is piloting professional car‑care services and enhanced amenities at a V4 Supercharger hub in Germany, while Gigafactory Berlin‑Brandenburg plans to hire about two thousand additional workers in total and boost Model Y output by around twenty percent, signaling renewed demand and long‑term confidence in the region. At the same time, operational and safety challenges remain in focus. Reports from Germany highlight management urging employees to obey traffic laws after a surge in tickets linked to staff driving company vehicles, a reminder of reputational and compliance

Tesla News - Berlin Ramp, Cybercab Specs, 16 GW Energy Deal

This episode covers Tesla’s strong stock action, a massive new 16‑gigawatt virtual power plant partnership with Sunrun and Renew Home, and a major production and hiring ramp at Gigafactory Berlin‑Brandenburg including new in‑house battery cell capacity. It also dives into the newly revealed Cybercab robotaxi specifications and how US regulatory proposals to relax pedal and steering requirements could unlock purpose‑built driverless fleets. Additional topics include the global rollout of Charge Stats 2 and Tesla’s Free Supercharging Competition, substantial improvements in FSD Supervised v14, and ongoing labor and environmental tensions around the Grünheide expansion.

Tesla News - Giga Berlin Expansion, European Demand Surge, Musk Market Volatility

This episode covers Tesla’s latest stock action and puts the day’s relatively tight trading range into context for investors. The main focus is on the major expansion at Giga Berlin‑Brandenburg, where Tesla is raising weekly vehicle output targets, rehiring toward and beyond previous headcount peaks, and adding thousands of new jobs. We discuss the planned ramp from around six thousand to about seven thousand five hundred vehicles per week, the implications for annual capacity, and what this means relative to the factory’s long‑term design goal of half a million to one million units per year. The episode also dives into Tesla’s battery cell strategy at Grünheide, where the company is investing roughly two hundred twenty million euros and hiring over one thousand five hundred specialists to boost cell production capacity from around eight to eighteen gigawatt‑hours. We explain why this vertical integration matters for cost structure, margins, and supply‑chain resilience in Europe, and

Tesla News - Europe EV Surge, Autopilot Scrutiny, China Competition

This episode covers Tesla’s latest stock action, with shares closing below the prior session and technicals hinting at short‑term selling pressure. We dive into Europe’s historic transition where fully electric vehicles have, for the first time, outsold gasoline cars across the EU, UK and EFTA, highlighting Tesla’s impressive sales growth for Model Y and Model 3 and its strong role in the region’s shift to mainstream EV adoption. The episode also examines the rise of Chinese automakers such as BYD in Europe and the resulting three‑pole competitive landscape between legacy carmakers, Tesla and fast‑growing Chinese brands. On the risk side, we discuss a wrongful‑death lawsuit in Texas involving a Tesla reportedly using Autopilot, along with ongoing NHTSA investigations into Tesla’s driver‑assistance systems and prior large‑scale recalls, underscoring regulatory and legal headwinds. We touch on a cultural trend in China where drivers place plastic celebrity heads in Tesla cockpits as a s

Tesla News - Musk Control, FSD Risks, AI Megapod, SpaceX Links

This episode covers Tesla’s latest stock action and technical picture, emphasizing how the share price continues to discount ambitious growth in AI and robotics. It explains Elon Musk’s early exercise of his massive 2018 stock option award, which raises his Tesla voting power to nearly twenty percent and strengthens speculation about a possible Tesla–SpaceX merger now that SpaceX is publicly traded. The show highlights Jefferies’ new price target and ongoing institutional support from Hyperion Asset Management, which has added SpaceX to its portfolio alongside a large Tesla stake. On the technology and regulatory front, the episode examines Europe’s looming roadblock to Tesla’s Full Self‑Driving rollout, driven by Swedish objections to the Speed Offset feature that lets the system exceed speed limits. It contrasts that with the expansion of FSD Supervised in Australia, where version fourteen point three point three brings reinforcement‑learning improvements, new speed profiles, and mo
