McNeill said Tesla was a "learning sponge," McNeill, who was at the EV company between 2015 and 2018, said. During his tenure, Model 3 was in its infamous "production hell," and Tesla had just teased the first image of the Model Y. The former Tesla executive said one lesson learned from Chinese EVs was the reuse of parts - using some of the same guts of one model for another - and that can be seen "across the 3 and the Y."

Design flaws caused a Tesla Model 3 to suddenly accelerate out of control before it crashed into a utility pole and burst into flames, killing a woman and severely injuring her husband, a lawsuit filed in federal court alleges.Another defect with the door handle design thwarted bystanders who were trying to rescue the driver, Jeff Dennis, and his wife, Wendy, from the car, according to the lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington.

IF Metall's latest notice ordered a full work stoppage for all Tesla-related activity at Allround Lack. With the blockade in place, paint jobs on Tesla-owned vehicles, factory-warranty repairs, and transport-damage fixes, will be effectively frozen, as noted in a report from Dagens Arbete. While Allround Lack is a small paint shop, its work with Tesla means that the blockade would add challenges to the company's operations in Sweden, at least to some degree.

Tesla's impressive momentum has been led overwhelmingly by the Model Y, which accounted for 21,517 of Norway's registrations this year, as noted in a CarUp report, citing data from Elbil Statistik.

Tesla has a Cabin Overheat Protection feature that helps keep the temperature regulated if it reaches a certain threshold. Inversely, it can be used in cold weather as well, which will automatically warm the cabin if it sinks to a temperature that is too low for the owner's comfort. This is a great way to keep the cabin either warmed up just enough or cooled down just enough so that it never gets too hot or too cold.

Hidden deep within Tesla's latest vehicle update is a number of geofenced regions in California. No explanation, no patch notesjust a cryptic breadcrumb meant to be hidden from the public (at least for now.) But if you dig a little bit deeper, some hints suggest these areas might be the first places where Tesla's unsupervised Full Self-Driving is available to drivers in the near future.

If you work on Tesla's AI teams, next year will be the "hardest year" of your life. That's according to the company's vice president of AI software, Ashok Elluswamy, who spoke at an all-hands meeting for staff across Tesla's Autopilot and Optimus teams last month.

This is the discussion I used to have with Elon all the time. He'd come in the West Wing. He'd want all these guarantees on the button. I said: Dude, you don't understand. You're asking people that make 42,000 bucks a year to essentially get all these tax breaks.' They're financing what the venture capitalist should finance, so therefore, you're gonna own less of Tesla, right? Their returns are gonna take longer and maybe be lower, so they're gonna want even more.

In his annual shareholder letter-the last one he will pen as CEO before Berkshire vice chair Greg Abel takes over on Jan. 1-Buffett suggested chief executives are driven by greed and selfishness to drive up their own pay after seeing competitors ratchet up their own remunerations. "What often bothers very wealthy CEOs-they are human, after all-is that other CEOs are getting even richer," he said. "Envy and greed walk hand in hand. And what consultant ever recommended a serious cut in CEO compensation or board payments?"
