Tesla sold more cars than ever last quarter and still burned through 1.1 billion dollars in cash, its first cash-burning quarter since early 2024. Revenue hit a record while operating profit fell 57 percent. The gap is a 5.8 billion dollar capital-spending spree on robotaxis, AI, and Optimus that has turned the world's most profitable EV maker into something that spends like a hyperscaler.
No. The $7,500 new and $4,000 used federal EV credits died for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, and the home-charger credit followed on June 30, 2026. What's left: a loan-interest deduction worth a few hundred dollars a year, and a shrinking map of state programs.
The $7,500 EV tax credit is gone, but interest on a new car loan is now deductible, up to $10,000 a year, if the vehicle was assembled in the US. Here is the model-by-model eligibility list, the real dollar math, and the income limits.
Tesla just posted its best second quarter in company history and the stock had its worst day in a year. The two-year math, the US sales decline, and the Model Y L launch all tell the same story: the recovery is real, but it is not happening at home.

Tesla confirmed on its Q1 2026 earnings call that Hardware 3 cannot achieve unsupervised Full Self-Driving. Roughly 4 million cars are affected. The fix requires replacing the computer and cameras, and Tesla plans to build micro-factories to handle the volume. Meanwhile, HW4 Plus was announced in the same call, starting the same hardware obsolescence cycle over again.
The Iran war oil shock did what EV advocates always predicted: it made the world go electric. Europe's used EV enquiries jumped 28%. China's NEV share is headed to 58%. But US new EV sales fell 28% and BEV share dropped to 5.2%. America welded its own escape hatch shut.
An in-depth analysis of how the $115 Brent Crude oil shock and looming recession won't save gas cars, but will instead trigger the extinction of legacy Western automakers who refused to vertically integrate.
Tesla killed the Model S and Model X. Used prices immediately climbed 10%. Meanwhile, 329,000 lease returns are about to flood the lot with Model 3s and Model Ys. Same brand, opposite price trajectories, same quarter. The used Tesla market is splitting in two.
The 2026 JD Power EV Satisfaction Study crowned Tesla the king of owner happiness. But the real story is darker and more interesting: buyers are choosing a car with rattling door panels over legacy sedans whose infotainment systems crash at 70 mph.

Canada's new EV rebate rules exclude the most efficient electric cars to subsidize union-made hybrids. It's not climate policy; it's protectionism.
