President Donald Trump's escalating tariff war is putting Tesla in serious danger. As Politico reports, the trade war has put Tesla CEO Elon Musk in an extremely awkward position politically. While the president's top henchman's businesses are somewhat insulated thanks to a strong manufacturing presence in the United States, Musk's ambitions to turn Tesla into the "most valuable company in the world" by focusing on autonomous driving and robotics could be thwarted by flatlining international t

According to Business Insider, the EV maker has dropped production targets for several Cybertruck lines over the last few months – and is going as far as to move workers from the line entirely at its manufacturing facility in Texas. "It feels a lot like they're filtering people out," a worker with knowledge of the situation told the publication. "The parking lot keeps getting emptier." It's yet another sign Tesla's h

A hot potato: Tesla is being sued over allegations it alters the odometers of customers' cars. According to the lawsuit, the automaker does this to increase the money it makes on repairs, avoid warranty obligations, and force customers to purchase warranty extensions early. Nyree Hinton brought the suit after he bought a 2020 Tesla Model Y in December 2022 with 36,772 miles on the clock, which meant it was still covered under the 50,000-mile warranty.
