Tesla Edges Rivian in Night Drive Self-Driving Test

Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) outperformed Rivian’s Autonomy+ in CNBC’s head‑to‑head test, especially on unmarked roads and in darkness; Rivian’s system, which requires painted lines and costs about $50/month (or $2,500 to own), lags Tesla on non‑highway and point‑to‑point driving. Neither system is fully autonomous or approved for hands‑free driving, and regulatory approval is still years away, with Chinese autonomous vehicles currently blocked from the US by tariffs.

Tesla Deploys Major North American Navigation Map Update

Tesla Deploys Major North American Navigation Map Update

Tesla is rolling out a sizable navigation data update across North America, upgrading from NA-2025.44 to NA-2026.26. The update improves street layouts, speed limits, and points of interest, and downloads in the background over Wi‑Fi with no in‑car notification, with rollout happening gradually. Map data (not visual tiles) underpins routing and driver-assist features; Tesla uses Google Maps data globally and Baidu data in China, supplemented by its own data. Updates typically arrive about twice a year, so ensure your car is connected to Wi‑Fi to receive NA-2026.26 when available.

Tesla slides after Q2 profit miss as AI and Robotaxi bets loom

Tesla slides after Q2 profit miss as AI and Robotaxi bets loom

Tesla reported Q2 revenue of $28.24B that beat estimates but posted a profit miss, with adjusted EPS around $0.33 vs $0.50 expected and margins at 16.8% as capex rose to about $5.8B, sending the stock lower after hours. Management signaled a continued heavy AI-focused investment cycle—Robotaxi, Optimus, Megapack—while FSD subscriptions climbed about 56% YoY to roughly 1.4M and robotaxi deployments expanded to seven markets; energy storage deployments rose 13% YoY. Musk also teased near-term AI data-center ideas and a Terafab reveal amid questions about SpaceX-Tesla synergy.

NTSB Confirms Driver Overrode Tesla FSD, Floorboarded Accelerator in Fatal Texas Crash

NTSB Confirms Driver Overrode Tesla FSD, Floorboarded Accelerator in Fatal Texas Crash

Preliminary NTSB findings confirm the Tesla involved in a fatal Texas crash had Full Self-Driving engaged and that the driver manually overridden it by flooring the accelerator to 100%, steering away from the autopilot route and into a home. The car allegedly reached high speeds in a residential area, the driver has been charged with manslaughter, and investigations by the NTSB and NHTSA continue.

NTSB Confirms 100% Accelerator Input in Texas Tesla Crash While FSD Was Active

NTSB Confirms 100% Accelerator Input in Texas Tesla Crash While FSD Was Active

The NTSB confirmed that in a fatal Katy, Texas crash, the Tesla’s accelerator was pressed to 100% while Full Self-Driving mode was active, with speeds over 70 mph at impact. Teslas’ data showed the driver manually overridden FSD by flooring the pedal in a residential area. The incident has been tied to a lawsuit naming Tesla and the driver, and while Elon Musk defended that FSD isn’t “homicidal,” the case raises questions about how FSD operates when the accelerator is pressed in neighborhoods. Investigations will continue as more details emerge.

Katy Tesla Crash: Manslaughter Charge Linked to FSD Override in Residential Run

Katy Tesla Crash: Manslaughter Charge Linked to FSD Override in Residential Run

Prosecutors charged 44-year-old Michael Butler with manslaughter after his Tesla Model 3, operating under Full Self-Driving, sped through a Katy, Texas neighborhood at about 73 mph and crashed into a home, killing a 76-year-old woman. The charging document alleges Butler overrode FSD to floor the accelerator; investigators also found Google searches suggesting he believed FSD was not aggressive enough. The case, built from vehicle telemetry, dashcam, and phone records, highlights the ongoing tension between driver control and autonomous features, with potential civil liability for Tesla alongside the criminal charge.

Tesla Rally Heats Up Ahead of Key Q2 Delivery Report

Tesla stock jumped about 8% in Monday trading—the strongest one-day gain in over a year—as investors bet the company could beat Q2 delivery estimates on stronger demand in Europe and China; Goldman Sachs lifted its forecast to 420,000 vehicles, with Barclays and Morgan Stanley also revising higher ahead of the July 2 delivery report. A Version 14 Lite Full Self-Driving update for older Hardware 3 cars and a broader tech rally provided support, while investors watch margins and progress on robotaxi/Optimus plans.

Tesla FSD v14 Lite Brings Advanced Autonomy to HW3 Cars

Tesla FSD v14 Lite Brings Advanced Autonomy to HW3 Cars

Tesla is releasing FSD v14 Lite to HW3/AI3 cars, a compact version of the newer HW4-based v14 that distills input from AI4 into HW3. It adds features like starting FSD from Park, automatic Reverse/Drive transitions, Arrival Options, and always-on Speed Profiles, plus improved responsiveness, lane-centering, and smoother behavior—though some v14 features (Smart Summon upgrades, the standalone Self-Driving app, and dynamic parking-pin adjustments) are omitted due to hardware limits. The rollout began with early-access testers on software 2026.20.5.1, with broader rollout after validation. Tesla notes HW3 cannot reach unsupervised autonomy and a hardware upgrade path to HW4+/AI5 is planned later; v15 Lite is unlikely. International rollout will follow validation, potentially in EU, Australia, NZ, and Korea in coming weeks.

Family sues Tesla over suspected autopilot defect after fatal Texas crash

Family sues Tesla over suspected autopilot defect after fatal Texas crash

A Texas grandmother died after a Tesla Model 3 crashed into a home. Her family filed a Harris County lawsuit seeking more than $1 million, arguing a SUA defect and that Tesla removed critical obstacle-detection hardware during a global chip shortage. Tesla and its executives dispute that Autopilot or Full Self-Driving caused the crash, citing that the driver pressed the accelerator; authorities are investigating, and police have found no mechanical malfunction so far. The suit requests preservation of all vehicle data and parts as evidence in the case, underscoring ongoing debates about Autopilot safety and data transparency.

Tesla disputes self-driving role in fatal Texas crash, cites driver override

Tesla pushes back on claims its Full Self-Driving system caused a fatal Katy, Texas crash, saying the driver manually overrode the automation by flooring the accelerator to 100% and reaching about 73 mph before the Model 3 crashed into a home, killing a 76-year-old woman. The driver, Michael Butler, has been identified; the NHTSA is investigating the crash and FSD as Tesla continues to pivot from Autopilot to a subscription-based FSD.

Tesla says FSD was active in fatal Texas crash, blaming driver for pedal override

Tesla confirms Full Self-Driving was engaged when a Model 3 crashed into a Katy, Texas home and says the driver pressed the accelerator to override the system; experts warn that pedal misapplication does not absolve the technology and highlight complacency risks with Level 2 systems, as federal investigators review logs and past cases show shared Tesla liability.

Tesla Deploys FSD V14 to Australia and New Zealand, with Regional Feature Gaps

Tesla has begun rolling out Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised version 14 (build 14.3.3) to HW4 vehicles in Australia and New Zealand, as part of a global effort to update the fleet. However, the Oceania release omits some North American features—such as the 8 mph max for Actually Smart Summon and the unification of ASS, FSD, and Robotaxi—and lacks newer map options. Hardware 3 owners will get FSD v14 Lite later to match the main update while Tesla scales the stack to older cars.
