Elon Musk’s ‘5x Value’ Self-Driving Math Has a Fatal Economic Flaw

I keep seeing Elon Musk’s 2022 Baron Conference clip resurface on X, where he explains why Tesla is a better investment than Mercedes-Benz using “net present value of future cash flows.” The same argument he made at the March 2025 All-Hands meeting when Tesla stock was down 40%: “It’s very difficult for people in the…

Tesla Sales Slide Signals Buyers Are No Longer the Priority

I’ve spent a year documenting Tesla’s sales collapse across every major market, and this week’s numbers crystallize something prospective buyers need to understand: Tesla has told Wall Street it doesn’t need to sell more cars. For anyone shopping for an EV in 2026, that’s the most important signal in this entire earnings preview. Tesla is…

DJI Spinoff ZYT Takes on Autonomous Trucking with Drone-Derived Tech

ZYT is betting that the same computer vision approach that made DJI drones dominant can now disrupt the autonomous trucking race – and they’re targeting the same H1 2026 mass production timeline as Pony.ai, but with a fraction of the computing power. The Shenzhen-based company, formerly DJI’s autonomous driving division, announced Tuesday that it will…

Tesla Diner Hits 80,000 Burgers, Proving Supercharger-As-Destination Actually Works

Tesla just validated its most unusual bet: turning Supercharger stops into lifestyle destinations. The company’s Hollywood Diner has now sold over 80,000 burgers since opening in July 2025, generating $1.08 million in revenue according to Tesla’s 2025 year-end recap shared by Sawyer Merritt. Here’s why this matters more than the headline suggests: Elon Musk promised…

Tesla Hits 9 Million Vehicles as Shanghai Builds Faster Than the World Wants to Buy

Tesla’s 9 millionth vehicle—a white Model Y—rolled off the line at Giga Shanghai today, and the timing says everything about where this company stands heading into 2026. The milestone took just 207 days to reach from the 8 millionth car, which was an Ultra Red Model Y produced at Giga Berlin on June 6, 2025.…

Tesla’s $2.9 Billion Battery Deal Collapses to $7,386, Confirming 4680 Program Failure

We’ve been tracking Tesla’s 4680 battery saga since Elon Musk unveiled it at Battery Day in 2020, promising it would enable a $25,000 EV within three years. Five years later, we have the clearest evidence yet that those promises have collapsed: a $2.9 billion supply deal reduced to $7,386. That’s not a typo. That’s a…

Tesla Publishes Pessimistic Q4 Delivery Forecast, Confirming Tax Credit Hangover

I’ve been warning about this moment since September. Tesla just made it official: the tax credit pull-forward we documented is now showing up in the company’s own numbers, and even Tesla’s unprecedented promotional blitz couldn’t fill the demand vacuum. In a first-of-its-kind move, Tesla publicly posted a consensus of 20 analyst delivery estimates directly on…

China's BYD has overtaken Tesla as the world's best-selling maker of electric cars. In the final quarter of last year, BYD, backed by Warren Buffett, sold 526,409 fully electric vehicles, outpacing Tesla's 484,507.

China’s EV Exports Surge 87% Globally, But the Real Story Is the 2,367% Explosion to Mexico

I’ve been tracking the “Chinese EV Invasion” narrative for years now, and this new data from China Customs finally reveals exactly how it’s playing out: not through US ports, but through America’s southern border. While mainstream coverage focuses on the headline 87% year-over-year surge to 199,836 EVs exported globally in November, the number that matters…
