Tesla Recalls About 3 Million China Cars for Door-Handle Fixes with OTA Update and Stickers

Tesla is recalling about 2.98 million vehicles in China over door-handle safety concerns that could hinder egress in a crash. The fix combines an over-the-air software patch that automatically lowers all passenger windows after a crash with high-visibility warning stickers showing the location of the mechanical emergency release. The recall covers domestically produced Model 3 and Model Y (2019–2026) and imported Model 3, Model X, and Model S across various production dates. A separate recall affects over 2.74 million domestically produced Model 3/Model Y vehicles (2019–2025) to enable cabin-camera tracking with Autosteer. Regulators are tightening door-safety standards worldwide, and Tesla is pursuing long-term door-handle redesigns for future models.

Tesla quietly pushes firmware refresh to Gen 2 Mobile Connectors

Tesla is quietly rolling out a firmware update for Gen 2 Mobile Connectors, delivered over the car’s internet connection when plugged in with no reboot or manual install prompts; release notes aren’t public and it’s unclear whether Gen 3 with PowerShare will get the update. The Mobile Connector is a portable trickle charger, drawing 12A on 120V or up to 32A on 240V, while Wall Connectors offer faster home charging. Updates for the Mobile Connector are rare but have previously addressed thermal management, protocol changes, or charging interruptions.

Penix Nears Full Return as Falcons OTAs Enter Minicamp

The Falcons wrap up OTAs with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. inching toward 11-on-11 work and a potential full-team return ahead of mandatory minicamp; cornerback Billy Bowman Jr. remains out with an Achilles injury, Kendal Daniels is rehabbing and could be back soon, and the coaching staff emphasizes there will be no QB competition until Penix can be evaluated. Da’Shawn Hand has stood out on the defensive line, and Drake London signed a four-year, $141 million extension as the team heads toward minicamp on June 16-18.

Cowboys OTAs spot key depth battles across defense and backfield

At Cowboys OTAs in Frisco, depth is the story: with DaRon Bland out, corners Cobie Durant, Shavon Revel Jr., Caelen Carson and others rotate for starts; Caleb Downs works in the slot. In the backfield, Phil Mafah and Jaydon Blue flash as contenders for the No. 2 RB behind Pollard, with undrafted Dominic Richardson in the mix. DeMarvion Overshown’s absence opens snaps for Dee Winters and Shemar James with the first team, while Curtis Robinson and Justin Barron rotate on the second team. Marquez Valdes-Scantling sees heavy first‑team work with George Pickens away, and Ryan Flournoy works in the slot. The backup quarterback competition remains unsettled, with Joe Milton III getting more second‑team reps than Sam Howell, and safeties Locke and Malik Hooker anchoring the first-team defense as others rotate in.

Broncos OTA Sparks: Nix Trending Toward Mini-Camp Return, Waddle Shines

During the Broncos' OTA with media, Bo Nix did not practice but is trending toward minicamp participation; Jonah Elliss remains at edge rusher after a potential position move, while Jaylen Waddle looked fast and aligned with Payton’s vision. Rookies and depth players (Turner, Reid, Bailey, among others) will vie for spots, and a backup QB battle appeared plausible as Sam Ehlinger reportedly looked better than Jarrett Stidham. Payton also confirmed there will be no joint practices at training camp.

Giants OTA Focuses on Injury Prevention and Player Reps

Giants' OTA highlighted Odell Beckham Jr. as the marquee attraction while the team emphasized injury prevention, deploying new testing and equipment to tailor training. Left tackle Andrew Thomas practiced at left tackle for the first time this spring as he handles foot and shoulder issues. Kayvon Thibodeaux saw first-team reps, and the starting WR trio was Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin, and Malachi Fields with Greg Newsome and Deonte Banks splitting first-team CB duties. Kicking was inconsistent for Ben Sauls (4 of 10 FG attempts before two late makes). Gunner Olszewski attended on a four-wheeled scooter after his Achilles injury. The Giants also signed three WRs earlier in the week to bolster depth.

Herbert Embraces McDaniel's Quick-Release Plan, Aims for a Breakout 2026

Justin Herbert says his early meetings with new Chargers OC Mike McDaniel have been exciting, with a clear plan to speed up the offense and get the ball out in about 2.4 seconds. He emphasizes improved footwork and timing to support McDaniel’s quick-throw system, notes the potential of speedy targets like Quentin Johnston, and praises new center Tyler Biadasz for stabilizing the line. Herbert is healthy after a tough 2025, and OTAs (plus a Europe trip) show the Bolts building toward what could be a big 2026 season.

Giant OTA Midpoint: Mauigoa and Reese Top the Watchlist

OTAs reach the midway point as Francis Mauigoa and Arvell Reese emerge as the players to watch with pads coming on; Mauigoa is expected to showcase his run-blocking and pass protection, while Reese has flashed elite movement and coverage ability. Bernard-Converse’s spectacular one-handed interception stands out on defense, but observers split on whether the secondary or the linebackers will define the defense this spring, with the secondary generally viewed as impressive so far.
