Tesla BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Tesla’s week has been a headlines-and-hype whirlwind, starting with the company's push toward AI chip leadership. Elon Musk declared on X that Tesla is nearing completion of its AI5 chip, targeting volume production in late 2026 with mass deployment slated for 2027, while also beginning work on the next-gen AI6 chip. Musk claims Tesla will eventually produce more AI chips than all competitors combined, and he’s backed this by launching a recruitment drive for top chip engineering talent. The chips are essential for self-driving technology, autonomy features, and Musk’s robotics ambitions, notably as Tesla pivots resources toward inference chips and reconfigures its Dojo AI team. Observers from CryptoRank and similar outlets say this focus consolidates Tesla’s position in custom AI hardware—and investors are watching closely, as delays in chip rollout have already shifted plans for the next wave of vehicles featuring full self-driving capabilities.
The 2025 Annual Shareholder Meeting is already drawing buzz, both from Musk’s social media hype and investor anticipation. Scheduled for November 6 at Giga Texas, registration just opened and Musk is teasing “something special”—likely a live Optimus humanoid robot V3 demo and possible Roadster announcement, judging by the event’s promotional materials and leaks on NotATeslaApp. The agenda is crammed: progress on autonomous vehicles, FSD updates, the Cybercab robotaxi and Robovan, more news on a mass-market next-gen platform, and a show-and-tell of Tesla Energy and Semi 2.0. There’s speculation the meeting will set new compensation goals for Musk, with proposals suggesting eye-popping packages tied directly to vehicle production and autonomy milestones, as covered in Teslarati.
The vehicle front isn’t quiet either: Tesla unveiled new sub-$40,000 models of top-selling EVs in a direct response to lost US incentives, a move highlighted by BloombergNEF analysts and industry insiders. The cars themselves remain cash engines, fueling Tesla’s pivot toward autonomy and robotics. In China, Model Y just got a swanky new 16-inch 2K touchscreen upgrade, delivering sharper visuals and upgraded UI, per GlobalChinaEV.
Social media has been ablaze with talk of Tesla’s latest Full Self-Driving rollout, landing in South Korea and marking the seventh country to host FSD, according to posts tracked by Teslarati. Meanwhile, Tesla quietly expanded its authorized ridesharing service into Arizona, with Planetizen confirming the state’s approval for a Tesla-run Uber-style transport network. This represents a tangible step toward the much-touted robotaxi future.
Offline, Tesla centers across Europe and the US have been running special test drive and immediate purchase events—Oldenburg and Geneva gave away holiday gifts and offered three years of free Supercharging for select Model Y buyers, according to Tesla’s own event pages.
Not all news has been rosy. The grassroots #TeslaTakedown protest campaign swept through dozens of US dealerships on November 22, with activists rallying against Musk and alleged Tesla labor practices. While these remain largely local headlines, the frequency and coordination suggest a growing brand challenge.
If that’s not enough, rumors swirl about Tesla prepping an Unreal Engine-powered animation overhaul, Apple CarPlay integration, and new holiday features like Santa Mode and Banish, teased on NotATeslaApp—though CarPlay remains unconfirmed and may only roll out for Robotaxi streaming.
From sweeping product launches, chip breakthroughs, and global expansion to shareholder drama and viral protests, Tesla’s November blitz has set the stage for a much deeper transformation. Industry insiders say it’s not just about selling cars anymore—it’s about building the future of autonomy and robotics, with Musk determined to keep the world guessing what comes next.
