Tesla's Boombox Megaphone functionality allows drivers to project their voices from their vehicle's speaker system. There's already been a slew of folks who've demonstrated the feature in action, which is available to cars manufactured from 2019 on. But a Tesla driver recently used the feature to mess with employees at a Chick-fil-A drive-through and troll another customer in the process.

Tesla has quietly changed how it defines "Full Self-Driving," , in a way that awfully sounds like it's giving up on CEO Elon Musk's perennially pushed-back promise that its cars will actually drive themselves without human help. The change comes in a document outlining a potential and absolutely ludicrous $1 trillion compensation package for Musk that the Tesla board recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Tesla currently lacks the proper permits to run a true ride-hail service, let alone a robotaxi network, in California. Instead, it's operating a more-limited charter service. Those are not supposed to involve any autonomous vehicle operations, though videos of the rides have shown that the company's drivers are using its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software on the rides being offered. Tesla's FSD (Supervised) is an advanced driver assistance system with some automated driving features that requires the driver to pay attention.

Human remains were found in the trunk of a Tesla at a Hollywood tow yard Monday afternoon, according to authorities. ABC7 reported that the vehicle was registered to David Anthony Burke, a musician whose stage name is D4vd. The singer is expected to perform in Minneapolis Tuesday for his world tour. About 12:20 p.m. Monday, the Los Angeles Police Department responded to Hollywood Tow on Mansfield Avenue, according to Officer Charles Miller.

Tesla posted 14,300 insurance registrations in China during the week of September 1-7, a 14.4% increase from the previous week's 12,500 units. The figure marks Tesla's highest weekly performance so far this quarter so far, despite the company's year-over-year figures still being below 2024's numbers. The week's registrations broke down to 5,000 Model 3s and 8,400 Model Ys, including the first 900 units of the newly launched Model Y L variant, as per estimates from industry watchers.

Tesla's Supercharger Network is the world's most expansive electric vehicle charging network, with over 70,000 locations worldwide. EV owners can also access other networks, making the charging experience well-rounded and available at nearly every location imaginable. The company is now taking things a step further by launching "Supercharger for Business," a new way to enable fast-charging for Teslas and other EVs through stalls that are owned by you but managed by the company.

To nab the jaw-dropping pay package that could make Elon Musk the first trillionaire, the Tesla CEO first has to find his successor - eventually, anyway. Succession planning is rarely easy and often gets harder when it involves replacing a high-profile exec. Whoever eventually steps in to replace Musk will have a big job to do, leadership experts told Business Insider.

"Just in case no one told you," a text overlay in the video reads. Wehrly then records himself pressing his finger on the climate control toggle located on the bottom-left corner of the Tesla's infotainment display. Upon doing so, an animation of the vehicle's cabin air conditioning options populates the screen. Next, Zane then brings his finger toward a graphic of the vent blowing air into the front passenger's seat.

"If lidars/radars disagree with cameras," Musk asked on Twitter, "which one wins?"

I am, to date, only a successful multi-thousandaire. I am not the world's richest man, and my employer, the Motorsport Network, did not offer me a $1 trillion pay package this morning. But I know a thing or two about cars, and the fact that Tesla's latest "Master Plan" doesn't include much about them at all-except in the autonomous sense-strikes me as odd.

As per a video from the Tesla AI team, Model Y units that are produced at Giga Berlin now autonomously transport themselves from the end of the production line to their designated holding areas. The video demonstration, which was posted on X, followed a Model Y unit that parked itself autonomously at a charging station, and another that headed straight to Giga Berlin's outbound area.
