This video (Episode 330 of Best in Tesla News) covers significant growth and developments for Tesla and SpaceX as of June 2026.

Tesla Global Sales and Market Performance:

Strong Global Growth: Tesla is seeing record-breaking sales in 2026. Specifically, in Germany, sales were up 322% in May, putting the company on track for a potential record year (1:24 - 3:12). Similar positive trends were reported in New Zealand, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Japan (3:12 - 5:47).

Ford's Struggles: In contrast to Tesla, Ford is experiencing sales declines in the U.S. and has liquidated a major joint venture in China due to significant financial losses (5:56 - 8:47).

Robotaxi and FSD Developments:

Unsupervised Expansion: Tesla is expanding its unsupervised robotaxi fleet in the Austin metro area and has added more units to its registry (10:36 - 11:34). 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:

Positive feedback continues to pour in from freight companies testing the Tesla Semi, with Covenant Logistics noting exceptional performance during rigorous real-world tests, such as navigating the Grapevine on the I-5 (14:36 - 16:24).

SpaceX Highlights:

IPO and Growth: Elon Musk confirmed that SpaceX is entering a massive new growth phase, necessitating an IPO to raise capital (17:24 - 17:55, 20:20 - 21:09). Tech Innovation: The company received FAA approval to test its new Starfall capsules, designed for routine in-space manufacturing and logistics (21:10 - 22:36). Google Deal: SpaceX entered a major agreement with Google to provide compute capacity, potentially worth over $33 billion (22:38 - 24:04).

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Most surprising to me was the big Tesla sales increases in Korea and Germany which have great car companies and don't usually buy American cars.

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.

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people see that a Tesla isn’t a car but a Personal Transportation System (PTS), and that every other car in the world is obsolete, demand will exceed production capacity, and prices will skyrocket.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.

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.

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
2022: ~536,000 units
2021: ~302,000 units
