Tesla rolled out a fleet of driverless Cybercabs in Austin, prompting NHTSA to open a formal audit questioning the vehicles' lack of manual controls.

Tesla achieved record deliveries of 480,126 vehicles in the second quarter, though analysts anticipate a $3.3 billion negative free cash flow. This shift comes as the company increases its 2026 capital budget to over $25 billion, primarily targeting AI, robotics, and the Cybercab.
