Recently Elon Musk was asked to step down from the chairman position of Tesla. After this, the board of directors of Tesla chose a new chairman for the electric car company. Taking the position of Elon Musk will be Robyn Denholm who was holding the position of the Chief Financial Officer for the company Telstra. Telstra is a telecommunications company based in Australia.

Tesla has announced a new chair of its board of directors: Robyn Denholm. The move is part of the deal with the Securities and Exchange Commission to settle claims that CEO Elon Musk misled investors. The deal prohibits Musk from serving as chairman of the company for three years. He will remain CEO of Tesla.

Elon Musk is serious about plans for a Tesla pickup truck, and says it's going to look like something out of the sci-fi movie "Blade Runner."

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been promising some major improvements to Tesla Autopilot’s Summon feature in recent weeks.

After a suggestion from a Model 3 owner on Twitter, Tesla CEO Elon Musk agreed that the automaker should release a ‘dog mode’ to keep your puppies safe and cool inside Tesla vehicles. Tesla has already made updates to its software to help with child or pet safety with its Cabin Overheat Protection feature released in 2016.

Tesla already has a feature to prevent its electric car interiors from overheating. Not everyone knows that, though, and that's a problem when people may call the cops or break into your ride to rescue a pet that's actually quite safe. You might not have to post a please-don't-worry sign on your window for much longer, however. Elon Musk has signaled that he'll implement a "dog mode" in future Tesla software that would tell passers-by not to panic. While he only just agreed to the idea (it's likely a long way off), it could include both a message and the current cabin temperature to assuage jittery humans.

Be sure to disable passive entry and enable PIN to drive on your Tesla, or this might happen. A Tesla owner who recorded thieves stealing his Model S by hacking the passive entry system has published the video on YouTube so we can all watch (and learn). It shows the crooks using a tablet to apparently capture the passive signal from his keyfob, then using the data to open the vehicle. Amusingly, the pair didn't drive off as quickly as they could have simply because they couldn't figure out how to detach the charging cable (hint: there's a button).

It’s arguably unfathomable that any human being slapped with a $20 million fine for a bad tweet would ever consider returning to the platform, much less continue to fire off word salad at all hours of the day and night. In the face of any logical explanation, however, one such man seemingly continues to insist that he is not owned.

Tesla will remain a publicly traded company, CEO Elon Musk said late Friday, just weeks after he floated the idea of going private in order to ward off short-sellers and volatility in the company's stock. In early August, Musk touched off a firestorm by saying on Twitter that he was considering taking Tesla private at $420 per share, adding that funding was "secured." In the wake of that announcement, the billionaire and his company have been buffeted by skepticism, in addition to the threat of a regulatory probe.

Authorities say a Tesla operating in auto mode crashed into a San Jose fire truck on Highway 101 early Saturday morning. San Jose Fire Fighters Local 230 wrote on Twitter "For the 2nd time in recent months SJ FF's escaped serious injury as a @teslamotors “Zero Emissions” vehicle slammed into the back of a #SJFD FireEngine." Authorities say the vehicle was traveling at 70 MPH in auto mode, but the auto braking system was not engaged.

Tesla Motors Canada has won its case against the Ontario government over electric vehicle rebates.

Billionaire tech executive Elon Musk has revived his internet tirade against a British cave explorer, weeks after Musk apologized for calling the man a "pedo." Musk, chief executive of automaker Tesla and rocket company SpaceX, said on Twitter on Tuesday that the diver hadn’t sued him over the slur that Musk used in July — and asked whether the absence of a lawsuit wasn't "strange."

Elon Musk was apparently none too happy when British cave diver Vern Unsworth said the submarine Musk built — and shouted about to the world on Twitter and in the New York Times — was a “PR stunt” and that he should stick said sub “where it hurts.” So much so that Musk logged on to Twitter and proclaimed Unsworth a “pedo,” without any evidence to back his claims, to his 22 million followers.

Mercedes-Benz, the world’s largest maker of luxury cars, is rolling out its first in a series of battery-powered models, adding to a growing array of high-end brands targeting Tesla Inc.

The emails say "WTF."

Shares of electric car maker Tesla Inc. fell more than 6 percent early Friday after the CEO appeared to smoke marijuana during an interview and the company's accounting chief left after a month on the job. CEO Elon Musk appeared on "The Joe Rogan Experience" overnight. About two hours into the podcast, which can be seen on YouTube, Musk inhales from what the host says is a combined marijuana-tobacco joint, which Rogan notes is legal. Rogan passes the joint to Musk, who also takes a sip of whiskey.

The stock plunge extends a painful week for the automaker. As of Thursday's close, the stock had already lost 7 percent on the week.   

Granted my undergraduate degree is in psychology... this makes no sense to me: What puzzles me about Elon Musk is his plan to mine / colonize the solar system in respect to rockets. Given electro-magnetic - gravitic tech has existed since T Townsend Brown and Searle since the 1920''s, one would think that if anyone would be developing, using Tesla tech it would be Elon Musk - yes (?) https://abcn.ws/2NZ5kl1 

For two years Dezzimond Vaughn was a well-regarded worker at the Tesla factory in Lathrop, California. Then he became involved in trying to organize a union and suddenly his job was on the line. “They started changing rules without any remorse,” Vaughn, a 31-year-old former Tesla computer-numeric-controlled (CNC) heavy machinery operator, told the Guardian. He cited a strict attendance policy Tesla implemented and backdated that deducted points from employees every time they clocked in late or were absent.

Tesla’s energy division has deployed a new Powerpack project in Florida, apparently the first of its size in the state, to protect the University of South Florida against blackouts. Catherine Stempien, head of Duke Energy in Florida, said that they installed a 100 kW solar array and a “350 kW Tesla Powerpack and inverter system” – pictured above – at a parking garage on the University of South Florida campus.

Tesla shares sank by as much as 7.1 percent Tuesday after Bloomberg News said the company is facing a criminal probe over CEO Elon Musk's tweets about taking the company private. Bloomberg said the Justice Department is running the criminal investigation in tandem with a civil securities fraud probe of Musk's comments. It cited two people familiar with the matter. Tesla acknowledged the agency asked for documents from the company after Musk's now infamous tweet in a statement released Tuesday:

Musk tweet signals he has no intention of behaving himself in the future.

A federal judge in San Jose rules Tesla must face charges over its treatment of foreign workers at its Fremont plant.

There's still a long way to go. Tesla may have just hit a symbolic milestone in its quest to speed up Model 3 production: according to an Electrek source, the company has produced its 100,000th Model 3. It technically reached the mark earlier in the week if you count engineering and release candidate cars, according to the tipster, but regular manufacturing also reached the figure on October 13th. Tesla declined to comment, although it typically only provides production numbers after every quarter (like it did on October 2nd).

Tesla Motors has filed a patent for an innovative new type of hybrid car battery that can travel long distances without massively raising the cost.

Shares of Wall Street darling Tesla Motors fell 6% Wednesday after the high-flying stock was downgraded by an investment house and pictures and video of a mysterious Tesla Model S fire circulated on the Internet.

The Tesla Model S fire that we asked everyone not to get all worked up about because it's just like any other car fire is still not a big deal (in fact, it may be less of a deal than an ordinary car fire)--but it's interesting to see that the owner of the car that burned understands that, too...

The first Tesla Model S to be delivered in Norway rolled onto its streets on August 7. By the end of September, it had become the best-selling car in the country—not just among electric vehicles but conventional ones too.

When the car-turned-submarine from the 007 classic "The Spy Who Loved Me" was sold at auction in September for nearly a million dollars, the identity of the buyer was kept secret, as it usually is in collector car auctions. Thursday night, a Tesla Motors spokeswoman confirmed that the submarine, modeled after a Lotus sports car, had been bought by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Tesla Motors picked AT&T as its in-car Internet service provider, the Washington Post reports. The deal puts AT&T in charge of the many functions on the Model S electric car that are already controlled via wireless network. It was formally announced at an event in San Francisco yesterday.

The company is often seen as the Apple of car makers so Elon Musk's decision to update the current flagship Model S with a Google Chrome web browser and Android emulating operating system (OS) could surprise some.

Tesla Motors Inc., the top seller of premium all-electric autos, slid 12 percent after reporting quarterly vehicle sales that missed some estimates and lower revenue from regulatory credits while projecting little changed fourth-quarter results.

We had a great time driving our 415 hp Tesla Motors Model S P85+ around for three days, but one thing we didn't get a chance to do was push the car to its top speed. Fortunately, Martin Messer Thompsen of EV Network.dk was able to do just that on the Autobahn on an unrestricted stretch outside of Berlin. Thompsen's video captures the instrument cluster of his P85+ Model S as he zips from 106 kph (about 65 mph) up to 212 kph (about 131 mph)

Tesla's Model S, which the company's Web site touts as "the safest car in America," has sustained its third fire in six weeks. Pictures of the smoking electric vehicle appeared on the Tesla Motors Club Web site. The accident took place in Smyrna, Tenn. The fire resulted from an accident when the car hit what was believed to be a trailer hitch, according to company spokesman Patrick Jones.

There is a town in California so wealthy that even the cops are getting Teslas. The town of Atherton is the bedroom community for Silicon Valley. The average home price is $6.7 million and 15 percent of drivers have a Tesla Model S. But that’s not enough for this high-tech Pleasantville. City Manager George Rodericks told the San Jose Mercury News that he would like to see Atherton cops in Teslas, too.
