Tesla Making Yet Another Desperate Move in Europe

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-11-13 03:00:52

Tesla has been struggling in Europe, where its sales are down across the continent. In the United Kingdom, the company’s sales reportedly dropped 60 percent last month. With those cratering numbers, the EV firm appears to have made another, shall we say, incredibly generous offer to locals, as the company continues to combat lagging sales. British newspaper The Times reports that Tesla has nearly halved the monthly cost of leasing one of its cars in the U.K. Elon Musk’s company has been “forced

Tesla offers a $350 retrofit turn signal stalk after removing it from the Model 3

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-13 08:30:34

Leave it to Tesla to charge its customers for a feature it purposely left out. The company is now selling an almost $350 retrofit turn signal stalk for its Model 3 cars after removing from the initial model. Instead, it used buttons to activate the turn signal. As of now, the add-on is only available in the Chinese market. But, Model 3 drivers will need to shell out another 2,499 yuan ($348) to get a normal part of almost every car. However, there's a slight catch: The turn signal stalk is only

Tesla Is Making a Move in New York City That Regulators Absolutely Hate

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-11-22 21:00:47

Tesla is coming in hot in New York City and regulators, legislators and consumers are already pushing back. The electric car company’s latest foray into regulator wrestling comes via a hiring push for autopilot drivers in NYC, despite holding no permits for that service in the city. Given that Tesla has already spent years fighting federal probes, civil and criminal lawsuits and a host of scrutiny from everyone from the SEC to local politicians, its new push appears to be a further continuation

A Viral Cybertruck Hoax Got So Big, Tesla Had to Break Its Silence

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-11-25 16:05:32

Elon Musk has always wanted the Cybertruck to be the vehicle everyone talks about. After a bizarre video went viral over the weekend, he got his wish, just not in the way he intended. The rumor grew so outlandish and spread so far that Tesla, a company that famously doesn’t have a public relations department, was forced to do something it rarely does: publicly deny it. The incident highlights the Cybertruck’s strange and precarious position. It’s a vehicle so polarizing and so relentlessly hype
