EV Daily | Tesla Unveils Oasis Supercharger Amid Model Y Sales Dip; Xpeng G7 Challenges Model Y in China

【Tesla】

Tesla unveiled the Oasis Supercharger station in Lost Hills, California, powered by 11 MW of solar panels and 10 Tesla Megapacks, enabling off-grid operations. The station includes 84 stalls operational by July and more to open later. However, future developments face legislative challenges due to new laws removing incentives for solar and energy storage.

Tesla's Model Y lost its title as the world's best-selling car to Toyota RAV4. The Model Y faced declining sales partly due to political controversies surrounding Elon Musk. Despite strong sales initially, it saw consecutive down quarters. The Model Y remains a top-seller among EVs, joined by Model 3, which holds a 9th place in global sales. Tesla also reported poor Q2 sales numbers down from the previous year.

Tesla's Cybertruck sales plummeted to around 5,000 units in Q4 2025, while production issues and delays continue. The humanoid robot program, Optimus, is in disarray following a senior vice president’s departure, causing production delays and a two-month halt on orders. Design adjustments are underway to address hardware and software challenges. Tesla aims to unveil the new generation of Optimus robots at its shareholders meeting.
