When it comes to Tesla, most media outlets report on sales declines, Elon Musk's politics, and upcoming robotaxis. But there's a lot going on beneath the surface. We've rounded up ten lesser-known stories that have made their mark on the Tesla world in recent weeks, but have been overshadowed by political and financial drama. These are Tesla News 8/2025
Elon Musk
In a world where TikTok reigns as the mad king of entertainment, Elon Musk could revive Vine – the network with the AI product Grok Imagine, which invented hot water a decade ago, then drowned in it.
From robo-taxis to humanoid robots: how Elon Musk will shift Tesla from the automotive industry to the world of artificial intelligence. So - Tesla will no longer make classic passenger cars in 2030?!
When Elon Musk casually says “it’s just a Tesla Model Y Lite,” it’s like Clarkson saying the Nürburgring is “a nice park to walk the dog in.” But it’s this unpretentious statement that opens the door to the most anticipated Tesla since the Cybertruck – the cheaper Tesla Model Y Lite.
Tesla caused a tectonic shift when it entered the automotive industry. The e-mobility paradigm it launched was not just a fad, but the beginning of a new chapter in the industrial revolution. First, Tesla shook up traditional manufacturers with electric vehicles with breathtaking acceleration and a high-tech experience, and now they are shaking up the industry with something completely different. While automotive journalists dutifully count horsepower, discuss headlight shapes and wait for the next Tesla model, Elon Musk is hatching a plan that will soon make steel horses seem as obsolete as steam locomotives.
Despite the ever-expanding range of electric cars, Tesla remains the gold standard. With record-breaking range, leading autonomous driving technology, the largest fast-charging network, and constant updates, it continues to improve its models. Here are seven key reasons why Tesla's models (Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck, plus the upcoming Cybercab) still reign supreme in the EV market. Why is Tesla still the best buy in 2025?!
Apple and SpaceX have quietly struck a deal that will allow iPhone users to send messages even where there is no cell signal. With iOS 18.3 comes support for Starlink – and with it a whole new era of mobile communication without the need for classic cell towers. A new era of telephony and data transmission begins - Apple + Starlink
Elon Musk is preparing the biggest user experience update in Tesla history. Tesla Grock, a smart assistant with personality and humor, is coming to your Tesla, ready to give you the orders. And, believe me, he will be much nicer than your constantly smart-ass passenger! We will finally get a talking car with character.
For years, we’ve been hearing about the arrival of an electric people’s car that would finally shatter the myth that EVs are only for digital nomads and crypto-portfolio enthusiasts. Tesla is at the center of the action here – and now it seems to be coming up with its most ambitious promise yet: the Model Q, named as if it were invented by a Bond inventor or a parody of itself. On June 12, 2025, Elon Musk will take the stage in Austin and – we hope – unveil his new visionary trick. This time, it’s not just another car, but potentially the biggest breakthrough in electric mobility for the masses.
Tesla has announced the kind of event that sends X.com into a frenzy, investor circles shaking hands, and tech enthusiasts collectively counting down the seconds for June 12, 2025. It's the highly anticipated launch of a robotaxi service in Austin, which is supposed to symbolically, but also very practically, mark the beginning of a new era: welcome to a world where a driverless car takes you to dinner (and without the need to tip it). What's behind Tesla's event in Austin on June 12?
The first autonomous taxi test will begin in Austin, Texas, at the end of June 2025, with about ten vehicles and a dedicated mobile app, the RoboTaxi app. Tesla is said to have already completed internal testing of the RoboTaxi app, and in the meantime, there is information circulating that the company is accumulating its own fleet of used Tesla Model Y vehicles for this service, which are said to be the first autonomous taxis. Elon Musk's ambitious plans suggest that Tesla could compete with or even replace providers such as Uber in the future.
If Apple has its iPhone SE, then Tesla must have its "Model for the People." The car you won't buy because you have too much money, but because it's finally the logical choice. In an electric world where vehicle prices often resemble the high inflation of the mid-1990s, there have long been rumors of something that would cost under $25,000 and carry the Tesla badge. Welcome to the world of rumors, renders, and Musk tweets: this is the story of the 2025 Tesla Model Q—a car that is simultaneously real, unreal, and incredibly important.
