Big changes to announce. I’ve ended my tenure at Teslarati and will be instead joining Jaan (@theevuniverse) at EVwire! 8.3 years. 7,940+ articles, or about 31%, of Teslarati’s entire 25,000-ish archive. Trained several writers, including Joey, who is now Senior Reporter. That’s not bad for my time with the company, I guess. But now, I’m excited to help scale EVwire. I’ve never been in this position before, but I’m absolutely pumped AF. Super grateful for Jaan for believing in my ideas for Tesla news (thanks for the brainstorming sessions!). Can’t wait to see how far we can take EVwire in the years to come! ⚡️👊⚡️

Tesla's full unredacted reports for each of the Robotaxi's crashes in Austin from July 2025 to March 2026: As covered in our EVwire report: evwire.com/p/full-tesla-r…

When reports of Tesla's 17 Robotaxi crashes emerged, a lot of the coverage was very dramatic. "Scandal," "Hidden crashes," and other sinister-sounding, pearl-clutching headlines. But as always, the full data shows the real picture. The Robotaxi network is in its early stages. The incidents are minor. A lot were caused by human drivers. There are no dramatics here. Just a Robotaxi network that's progressing forward. We covered this story in EVwire: evwire.com/p/full-tesla-r…

@TeslaBoomerPapa Thanks for sharing our story, TBP! ♥️

FSD coming to Belgium, the second European country going for it! Source: EVwire share.google/K2q8iExdeVgken…

@TeslaBoomerMama So predictable, honestly.

Reuters at it again When FUD increases, distinguish signal from noise

@28delayslater Please tell me you don’t try the @jeremyjudkins_ test in your X’s doors, Earl Have mercy on the guy who will buy your X second hand 🤣

As a model X owner I can say Tesla is not very good at this skill.

@ReutersBiz I love your framing: Long wait times and limited availability = “significant operational problems” Almost sounds like there’s a narrative to keep amirite

Tesla's robotaxi service is experiencing significant operational problems in Texas cities where it recently expanded, with Reuters tests finding long wait times, limited vehicle availability and navigation issues. More here: reut.rs/4dtHriA

@TheEVuniverse My favorite part of the article btw. Makes sense too! If I was a senior, I’d prob appreciate the quiet and smooth ride of FSD lol

Thanks for posting our EVwire article, Sawyer! 🫡⚡️ Loved this: local officials braced for skepticism... and got the opposite

Aptera says it has assembled its first validation vehicles on a new California production line The ultra-efficient three-wheeled solar EV startup claims its launch edition could deliver 400 miles of range from a 44 kWh battery pack while adding up to 40 miles of solar charging per day. "Every vehicle we run through this line teaches us something. With five vehicles now off the line, we have a growing foundation of data." --Aptera co-CEO Chris Anthony Full article on EVwire: evwire.com/p/aptera-assem…

@JCChristopher Well done! 😄

Honestly, I just don’t give a fuck. He came to the wrong Tesla channel. But make sure you like and subscribe! I do care about that!

@KRoelandschap 🤣

@ResidentSponge They can record your every step and can even turn of your car if they feel like it. Now tell me that’s not fascist?!

Normally, I keep quiet, but sometimes, dumb takes deserve a reply. 🤷‍♂️ Of all things to put a tin foil hat on, you'd go for Tesla and FSD's safety? Really? 🤦‍♂️

Follow @TheEVuniverse and their publication evwire.com for great EV News!

@ScottTArcher @TheEVuniverse Your support means a ton, Scott! Much love 🙇‍♂️

Weeeelllll, I guess @Starlink Mobile is doing something right! It’s David and Goliath (X3) all over again — I’m bettin’ on David :)

@28delayslater Best wishes for a quick recovery!

Charlie has returned home. Doing well and recovering. 🧠❤️‍🩹🏥

Which brings me to the question: If you had to choose an EV up to $115k from these three, which would you pick? A Rivian, a Lucid, or a Porsche?

Tesla vehicles are increasingly helping Swedish police solve crimes Authorities say footage captured by Tesla camera systems has been used to reconstruct incidents, identify suspects, and document criminal activity when vehicles happen to be nearby. Philip Granfeldt of the Swedish Police Authority described how the footage from Teslas is typically used: "We often cut the film together to demonstrate a sequence of events or similar, if such a vehicle has happened to be in the right place," he said.
