Tesla has expanded its Powershare Home Backup feature, previously exclusive to the Cybertruck, to Premium and Performance Model 3 and Model Y vehicles paired with a Powerwall 3. Tesla says these EVs can power a home for over two days during an outage, less than the three-plus days claimed for the Cybertruck. Support for Powerwall 2 and Powerwall Plus is said to be coming soon, and the feature currently applies only to vehicles ordered from October 1st onward in the US and Puerto Rico.

A Tesla Model 3 ran a stop sign in Buena Vista Township, New Jersey on July 6, 2025, striking a Honda Civic and killing its 82-year-old driver, Stephen Field.

Slate Auto has introduced a compact two-door electric truck that strips away typical modern features, offering manual crank windows as standard and a small 65-kWh battery yielding roughly 205 miles of range. The base model costs under $25,000, far less than the average $50,000 new vehicle price in the US, though buyers can pay extra for upgrades like power windows, vinyl wraps, and a Bluetooth stereo.
