The final 2025 scorecard is brutal for Tesla. BYD sold 2.26 million battery-electric vehicles last year. Tesla delivered 1.64 million. That’s a 620,000-unit gap that grew every quarter, and it happened while BYD was locked out of the world’s second-largest auto market entirely. The damage extends far beyond the headline numbers. In the countries where…
The Tesla app’s “Share Destination” feature was never designed for medical emergencies. But on November 15, 2025, at 3:50 AM on a dark stretch of I-20 in Georgia, that’s exactly how Jack Brandt’s family used it. His father was behind the wheel of a 2026 Model Y Launch Edition running FSD v14.1.3 when a massive…
The same week Tesla posted its second consecutive year of declining vehicle deliveries, the company started hiring engineers to build something it has never successfully built at scale: solar cells. A job posting on Tesla’s website for a solar manufacturing development engineer states the company’s goal is to “deploy 100GW of solar manufacturing from raw…
The camouflaged sedan sitting on BMW’s Munich assembly line today looks like any other pre-production test mule.

Every Tesla on the road today has two batteries. The big one moves the car. The small one opens the doors. When that small battery dies in a crash, you’re locked inside. Samuel Tremblett found that out at 1:04 a.m. on October 29, on a dark stretch of Route 138 in Easton, Massachusetts. The 20-year-old’s…
The 5% purchase tax that was supposed to hurt all EV makers equally in China? It hit BYD like a freight train and barely grazed Tesla. That asymmetry tells you everything about what’s really happening in the world’s largest EV market right now. Tesla shipped 69,129 vehicles from its Shanghai factory in January, a 9.3%…
Tesla beat Wall Street expectations on earnings and margins in Q4 2025, even as net income dropped 61% and annual profit fell to less than a third of its 2022 peak. Investors shrugged off the decline and pushed shares higher after hours, betting on CEO Elon Musk’s promises of robotaxis, humanoid robots, and a $20…
The numbers finally flipped. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) outsold petrol cars in the European Union for the first time ever in December 2025, according to fresh data from ACEA released today. But before you call it a tipping point, look closer at the breakdown. The milestone: BEVs captured 22.6% of EU registrations in December, narrowly…
