The first look of the 2-door Cybercab fully autonomous prototype, which Tesla hopes to start building in 2026, was on the Warner Bros movie set. Also called the Robotaxi, this $30,000 2-seater, electric car will serve as an Uber without drivers. Tesla also revealed its Robovan, which will transport more passengers. In the short term, Tesla will launch a Robotaxi service in CA and TX next year using its Model 3 and Y cars, and is in preliminary talks for a test program in our home town!

Tesla released its Model 3 Performance this week—with 396 mi range, top speed of 165 mph, 510 hp,  and 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds! After factoring in the US Federal EV tax credit, the Model 3 Performance starts as $46,490.

As a part of Neuralink’s clinical study, its first real live human patient got a brain implant this past January, called “Telepathy.” The hope is that through this implant, humans can control keyboards and cursors just by thinking it. Neuralink’s first human patient ever is Noland Arbaugh, who now is able to control a mouse around the screen with his mind! The next product for Neuralink will be “Blindsight” which hopes to restore vision to the blind.

Expected to be a revolutionary innovation in manufacturing technology leading to cost cutting, the production of Tesla’s next generation, smaller car—nicknamed “Redwood”—will begin in 2025 out of the Texas Gigafactory. Will this be the mysterious and much anticipated $25,000 car? We know people refer to the $25k Tesla as the Model 2, but we think it will be called the Model 4. We haven’t seen this prediction anywhere else yet, but it makes sense to us because it would be the missing letter in S3XY C4RS!

The new Model 3 is out in the U.S! It boasts a lower front nose for a profile that makes it more of an aerodynamic and quiet ride. With stronger door structure, new exterior colors, interior LED colored lights, a backseat screen, and improvements in handling and performance, Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen said the new Model 3’s technical and design upgrades felt like a “refined athlete,” taking out the “baby fat.” With these changes, one goal hasn’t changed: safety first!

Since publishing Everything Tesla, Tesla car prices have fluctuated. According to Teslarati and the Kelley Blue Book, Tesla’s average transaction price decreased from $62,350 in 2023 to $49,518 in 2024.

Four years after the car’s unveiling—and since our book went to print—the Cybertruck was released in November 2023! Aside from its world’s-largest windshield wiper and removable side mirrors, other powerhouse features of the Cybertruck include: 0-60mph in 2.6 seconds, 340 miles max range, 2,500 pounds payload, and 11,000 pounds towing capacity. Price (rear-wheel drive) begins at $57,390, which assumes 3 years gas savings. How many have you seen in the wild?
