TSLA – Elon Musk Says New UI Coming For All Tesla Cars With FSD Computers

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk on Monday said the updated version of the electric vehicle maker’s full self-driving software release will carry a fresh user interface as well.

What Happened: In a tweet response, Musk said all Tesla vehicles with the FSD computer will be equipped with an updated UI or the “mind of car view.” Musk was responding to a query on whether the Model 3 and Model Y would eventually see new UI. The Tesla CEO noted that all Model 3s and Model Ys can be upgraded to have FSD computers.

The Palo Alto, California-based company has rolled its FSD Beta program out to a small set of testers — who have shown the car can make impressive moves, like dodging a deer on dirt roads. The closed beta will expand to a larger group of people.

TSLA – Tesla Accounted For 31% Of All EVs Registered In UK In June

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) topped the electric vehicle registration market share in the United Kingdom in June, as per a report by Electrek.

What Happened: During the month, Tesla grabbed 31% of all EV registration share in the U.K., more than thrice than that of the nearest biggest rival Volkswagen AG (OTC: VWAGY), the report noted — citing registration data. Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) accounted for 1.57% of all EVs registered in the month.

The Elon Musk-led electric vehicle maker registered 4,930 vehicles in June in the country this year, compared with 2,461 vehicles a year ago.

In Q1 2021, Tesla delivered 7,304 electric cars in the U.K. — more than anywhere else in Europe. In Q2, the automaker delivered 7,767 vehicles, a bulk of which were shipped in June, as per the Electrek report.

Why It Matters: The U.K. is turning out to be an important market for Tesla and sales are expected to rise further once the automaker starts making the right-hand-drive Model Y.

The United Kingdom and Germany, which are part of the Group of Seven nations, have committed to banning new gas-powered vehicle sales by 2030.

Canada is the latest country among G7 nations to set tighter deadlines. Japan is currently targeting 2035, while France and the United States plan to ban sales by 2040. Italy is the only member of the G7 that has yet to make a commitment on this front.

Price Action: Tesla shares closed 0.14% higher at $678.90 on Friday.

TSLA – Tesla Tells Norwegian Authorities Will Open Supercharger Network To All Automakers Next Year

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) will begin opening up its Supercharger network to rival electric automakers starting September 2022, as per an Electrek report

What Happened: As per the report, the Elon Musk-led electric vehicle company had recently been in contact with officials in Norway to secure incentives for setting up charging stations. Norway, however, awards incentives only to charging stations that are open to all automakers. 

Tesla has applied for benefits to expand five fast-charging stations, agreed to meet the conditions for open use and for the first time set a timeline as to when it plans to open the network for all, as per Electrek.

The Palo Alto, California-based company’s vast charging network is so far exclusive to Tesla owners. The company has however in the past indicated that it is open to the idea of sharing the Supercharger network with other automakers.

Why It Matters: Tesla has been rapidly scaling up its charging infrastructure amid rising competition from rivals and has quickly deployed more than 25,000 chargers at over 2,700 stations around the world. 

So far, other electric vehicles can turn to third-party networks such as Ionity, Electrify America or ChargePoint Holdings (NYSE: CHPT) to charge their EVs. 

At the same time, rivals such as Nio Inc (NYSE: NIO) and Xpeng Inc (NYSE: XPEV) have developed their own charging networks and have already scaled up presence in China, a key market for Tesla’s growth, even as they eye expansion in Europe and the United States.

Price Action: Tesla shares closed 3.54% higher at $679.82 on Thursday.
