Tesla investors are ditching Charles Schwab as their brokerage after the firm said earlier this week that it would vote against CEO Elon Musk's new compensation package. Several high-profile Tesla influencers are speaking out against Charles Schwab, saying its decision to vote against the plan that would retain Musk as CEO and give him potentially more voting power if he can achieve the tranches set by the company's Board of Directors.

As noted in a report from Korea JoongAng Daily, the demand for energy storage systems has been growing rapidly in North America, thanks in no small part to the surge in AI investments across numerous companies. With this in mind, Tesla has reportedly approached Samsung SDI about a potential battery supply deal. The deal is reportedly worth over 3 trillion Korean won (approximately $2.11 billion) and will span three years, according to The Korea Global Economic Daily.

That sounds like a lot, but when you crunch the numbers, the cash savings are disappointing. Experts are predicting that electric car sales in the United States will plummet after the $7,500 federal tax credit's demise. As a result, Tesla, the biggest player in the industry, is trying to attract buyers with all sorts of special offers, now that all the cars in its lineup are effectively $7,500 more expensive.

In this role, you will take large-scale manufacturing systems for new battery products and architectures from the early concept development stage through equipment launch, optimization, and handover to local operations teams. Battery development is at the heart of our company, and this is an exciting opportunity to work directly on the central challenges for the all-new Roadster product architecture while still in its early development stages,

Tesla and Waymo are the two true leaders in autonomous ride-hailing to an extent. Tesla has what many believe is a lot of potential due to its prowess with the Supervised Full Self-Driving suite. It is also operating a driverless Robotaxi service in Austin with a "Safety Monitor " that sits in the passenger's seat. Tesla explains why Robotaxis now have safety monitors in the driver's seat

"That is what we demanded two years ago and that is what we are demanding today,"

The US main transportation safety regulator said on Friday it is seeking information from Tesla about a new driver assistance mode dubbed Mad Max that operates at higher speeds than other versions. Some drivers on social media report that Tesla vehicles using the more aggressive version of its full self-driving (FSD) system could operate above posted speed limits. NHTSA is in contact with the manufacturer to gather additional information, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a statement.

Over the past year, on the day after Tesla unveils its latest quarterly report, this writer has calculated a metric I call the " Musk Magic" Premium. Put simply, the figure demonstrates how much of the EV pioneer's valuation is explained by its current performance, and what portion rests on investors' bet that Musk will deliver super-big on sundry promised innovations, from robotaxis to humanoid robots- areas where money-making versions haven't materialized, and keep getting delayed.

Elon Musk's Tesla reported an $80 million gain on its Bitcoin holdings in the third quarter of 2025, benefiting from the crypto market's rebound without making any new trades. According to Tesla's Q3 filing released on Wednesday, the electric vehicle maker continues to hold 11,509 BTC - valued at roughly $1.31 billion as of September 30, up from $1.23 billion in Q2. The increase came entirely from Bitcoin's price appreciation, not from additional purchases or sales.

As could be seen in Tesla's Q3 2025 Update Letter, the company posted GAAP EPS of $0.39 and non-GAAP EPS of $0.50 per share. Tesla also posted total revenues of $28.095 billion. GAAP net income is also listed at $1.37 billion. Tesla's total revenue increased 12% YoY to $28.1 billion, while operating income decreased 40% YoY to $1.6 billion. This means that for Q3 2025, Tesla's had a 5.8% operating margin. Tesla's quarter-end cash, cash equivalents and investments was $41.6 billion.

Harrison Grant Randall, 40, was charged in March with six felony counts of defacing property. He was accused of tagging the Teslas with stickers of Elon Musk, the automaker's billionaire CEO who worked closely with President Donald Trump earlier this year. He was arrested by Brookline police after several Tesla drivers reported acts of vandalism, including one driver who sent in a video of them confronting Randall.

Tesla has been subtly pivoting its strategy for years, but it's now reaching a tipping point. The end of the federal EV tax credit last month and the undeniable rise of Chinese rivals have made selling EVs difficult, to say the least. Sure, Tesla just launched an affordable version of some of its models. But the rollout for those long-awaited cars was somewhat subdued, and reactions were mixed.
