Tesla wins appeals court case against the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Commission, allowing its direct sales model in the state after alleging bias. Despite the dissenting judge's opinion, the victory exposes collusion to keep direct sales out.
Tesla's self-driving system is still not operational in The Boring Company's tunnels under Las Vegas, raising doubts about the tech's viability even in controlled environments. However, Tesla aims to make self-driving systems work on public roads without relying on geo-fencing.
Tesla is now capable of producing 700,000 Powerwalls annually, a significant increase from its previous production rate, showcasing its third iteration of the residential energy storage system.
【BYD】
BYD will integrate Huawei's Qiankun ADS 3.0 in its new Fang Cheng Bao brand of off-road EVs, starting with the Fang Cheng Bao 8 hybrid SUV. The partnership aims to enhance smart driving tech and close the gap with Tesla.

NIO's new mass-market brand, Onvo, launches its first model, the Onvo L60, to compete with Tesla Model Y. The Onvo L60, starting at around $30,000 in China, offers a competitive edge with better energy consumption and range.
The Onvo L60 has begun rolling out from NIO's F2 plant, with over 100 stores set to open soon. It boasts the world's lowest wind resistance for an SUV and features a minimalist, AI-powered interior.
【Xpeng】
Xpeng Motors' newly launched MONA M03, aimed at competing with Tesla Model 3, has received massive orders in China, starting at $16,815. The car features three trims with various ranges and smart driving capabilities.
