Tesla's Optimus factory nears completion at Giga Texas amid Terafab dispute and Cybercab probe

Tesla is pushing the Optimus factory at Giga Texas toward a 2027 high‑volume production start as its steel frame nears completion and concrete work advances. Concurrently, Tesla and SpaceX are in a trademark dispute with TERA-print over the planned Terafab chip‑factory, with filings seeking declaratory judgment on non‑infringement.

Tesla Model Y L NA: bigger cabin, Texas tweaks, and wireless-power shift

Tesla’s North American Model Y L keeps a three-row, six-seat layout but is longer (7 inches overall, 6-inch wheelbase) with a body-integrated rear spoiler that adds about 15 miles of range and increases third-row headroom. North American builds ride on 20-inch Uberhelix wheels (EPA range 320 miles with these wheels vs 325 miles with 19-inch), and use a standard 15W non-cooled wireless charger (China’s version is 50W with active cooling; a higher-wattage NA pad is planned for future rollout). Inside, the Y L adds a 19-speaker audio system and improved second/third-row comfort. Tesla says the Launch Series is nearly sold out and deliveries begin in September, with upgrades across the lineup coming in step with higher-wattage charging adoption.

Tesla Cybertruck Dominates Crash Safety Test Against ICE Pickup Trucks

A video of the Tesla Cybertruck's crash safety test has surfaced on Twitter, showing the vehicle's performance in full frontal, side impact, and rollover tests conducted at the Giga Texas Tesla Crash Lab. While the cabin of the Cybertruck sustained minimal damage in the frontal crash test, it received criticism for occupant safety. However, the truck performed well in the side impact and rollover tests due to its stainless steel body and low center of gravity.
