Every delivery number, every FSD build, every factory move, every filing. Tesla is the most-covered manufacturer on EVXL — this is the desk that watches them.
Tesla’s latest over-the-air push, software update 2026.2.9, is a substantial release. It includes FSD (Supervised) v14.2.2.5 with functional changes to the neural network vision encoder, new Speed Profiles, and Arrival Options, among other additions.

A door that won’t open in a crash isn’t a design quirk. It’s a death trap. China’s government just codified that reality into law, and the ripple effects will hit EV design studios from Munich to Fremont. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology published rules banning concealed, electrically operated door handles on vehicles sold…
