“Andrea Lucas has a history of abandoning workers at every turn and leaving them without protection, including women workers, transgender and nonbinary workers, and workers of color."

Elon Musk Is Making Cybertruck Sales Look Better by Selling a Huge Number to Himself Tesla CEO Elon Musk has started selling unsold Cybertruck inventory to his own companies, including SpaceX and xAI.

The numbers paint a damning picture of Tesla’s core business. The company only sold 5,385 Cybertrucks in the third quarter of 2025, down a whopping 63 percent compared to the same period last year, and a mere 16,000 overall so far this year.

U.S. launches probe into nearly 2.9 million Tesla cars over crashes linked to self-driving system Traffic safety regulators cite reports of Tesla vehicles with self-driving tech driving through red traffic signals and making dangerous lane changes.

The car safety agency has 6 reports in which a Tesla vehicle, operating with FSD engaged, "approached an intersection with a red traffic signal, continued to travel into the intersection against the red light and was subsequently involved in a crash with other motor vehicles in the intersection."

On the rare occasions I order an Uber, I always cancel Teslas. I don't trust the cars or the drivers. 🙅‍♀️

20-Year-Old Asphyxiated After Being Unable to Escape Tesla Truck That Crashed into Tree, Lawsuit Claims Another family has sued Tesla after their loved one died when they were allegedly unable to escape a crashed Cybertruck.

“This case arises from catastrophic design defects in the Tesla Cybertruck that turned a survivable crash into a fatal fire.”

Why would anyone feel safe getting into one of these death traps?
