Tesla has officially cancelled the Cybertruck for Australia and New Zealand. Reservation holders are getting emails today telling them their orders are void and their deposits will be refunded. Australians started putting down A$150 to reserve the electric pickup in November 2019. That’s almost seven years of waiting for a truck Tesla now says it won’t build for them. more…

…including 4.5kW motor, bigger 1.4kWh battery and 45mph top speed Yozma may not have invented the mini moto space, but they certainly helped mainstream it. Together with Tuttios and Sur Rons, Yozma’s IN10 was one of the most popular mini motos out there, and if you surveyed the average group of 14-15-year-olds in a suburban rideout, you’d be hard-pressed not to find at least a few Yozma IN10s among them… Today Yozma is shipping the IN 11 ($100 off with code 9TO5TOYS100), which attempts to bridge the gap between entry-level mini-bikes and high-end off-roaders, but at what cost? more…

Tesla skipped one of its top shareholder questions on its Q3 2026 earnings call: when Hardware 3 owners will find out if they get a free computer upgrade for the unsupervised “Full Self-Driving” they paid for.

Tesla says it’s building its own maps to fix some of the most common problems with its “Full Self-Driving” system, including reading speed limits, parking, and choosing routes. The company’s head of AI described the effort on Tesla’s Q3 2026 earnings call. It’s a notable shift for a company whose CEO spent years arguing that self-driving systems relying on maps are brittle. And it shows Tesla’s fleet is now doing the same job Waymo’s cars do: mapping the roads so the self-driving system knows what it can’t reliably figure out on its own. Tesla fans argue that Waymo’s approach differs because…

Elon Musk now says Tesla will start delivering Optimus humanoid robots to outside customers around the end of 2027. On Tesla’s Q3 2026 earnings call, he said the hands, the robot’s durability and its AI all still need work before then. Those are the same three problems every humanoid robot company is fighting. And despite Musk’s claim that nobody is close to Tesla, XPeng and Hyundai’s Boston Dynamics look at least as far along. more…

Tesla has lowered its 2026 capital spending forecast. In its Q3 10-Q, the company now says it expects capital expenditures “to be in excess of $20 billion in 2026,” down from the “more than $25 billion” it had guided since April. The change was in the 10-Q Tesla filed Wednesday, not in the shareholder letter it released the same day. And it lands in a quarter where Tesla reported $1.53 billion of positive free cash flow, a number that depends a lot on timing. more…
