Cybercab Production: The Cybercab is ramping up production, and fleets have been spotted in Los Angeles and Dallas. Tesla has also applied for permits in Nevada to operate up to 5,000 robotaxis (11:37 - 13:08).
Tesla Semi-Truck:

Every Indian here in Frisco has one.
There is a Tesla factory in Germany. But, ours was built in the gigafactory outside of Austin, TX.
Lots of Tesla superchargers and other EV chargers in the DFW area. Some big dealerships, too.
LOL!
What happened to the daily 2 minutes of democrat Elon-hate?
The reason Tesla doesn’t advertise its cars is that once people see that a Tesla isn’t a car but a Personal Transportation System (PTS), and that every other car in the world is obsolete, demand will exceed production capacity, and prices will skyrocket.
I’ve had my Model Y for 6 months, traveled about 3500 miles, and have not hand-driven it more than a mile or two, mostly just to park where I preferred. I charge it on solar from my Tesla Powerwall and drive on sunshine in a state where the average price of gas is almost $6.00/gal.
Talk about a no-brainer.
In places where Insane Governments Order citizens to buy EVs ? LOL
I have both a 2026 Model Y and a Cybertruck. I agree with you. All other vehicles are obsolete. I pay .065/kwh for electricity. If I was to charge from 0-100% it would only cost me $8. That would get me 330-405 miles depending on season and speed. This is the first vehicle I have had that exceeds EPA range. Full self driving is amazing. No one else has it.
What is the Frisco Costco like? Already here in NY I have seen Indians hogging the sample tables and bumping into everyone.
What is the Frisco Costco like?
Mumbai.
Tesla is still running the scam in other countries as US sales have declined as Ford and GM have lost 10’s of billions. If it was not for the carbon credit scheme where Tesla sells fake carbon credits to other car companies, Tesla would lose billions.
Search results: Tesla sold approximately 589,160 vehicles in the United States in 2025, representing a 7% to 10% decrease from the 633,762 vehicles sold in 2024. The drop marked a second consecutive year of slowing domestic deliveries, largely pressured by rising competition and the expiration of federal tax incentives
2025: ~589,000 units
2024: ~634,000 units
2023: ~670,000 units
