Tesla BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
It has been a whirlwind week for Tesla and CEO Elon Musk, and the headlines have not disappointed. The 2025 Tesla Annual Shareholder Meeting in Austin grabbed global attention, not just for the spectacle but for its sheer scale of ambition and controversy. Top of the news feed: shareholders approved Musk’s historic CEO pay package, now officially the largest in U.S. corporate history. The package could reach a staggering one trillion dollars in Tesla shares if he hits audacious targets, effectively tying his personal fortune to Tesla’s achievement of an 8.5 trillion dollar company valuation. This jaw-dropping vote, as reported by MarketWatch and Teslarati, has drawn as much criticism as celebration. Skeptics point to court challenges and uncertain economics that could still derail Musk’s big payday.
Tesla’s roadmap is focused on what Musk and the Board now call “Sustainable Abundance,” centering on future-defining businesses: electric vehicles, solar, home energy, grid storage, charging, and robotics. The tech world was buzzing this week as Musk touted Tesla’s Full Self-Driving version 14 suite, claiming the next two months could see drivers legally texting behind the wheel as the system approaches full autonomy. The boldest claim: by FSD version 14.3, users will be able to safely fall asleep and wake up at their arrival destination. Analysts and long-time Tesla watchers have greeted these pronouncements with their usual mix of excitement and wariness, given that similar promises have missed deadlines before.
Elsewhere, Tesla’s Robotaxi program is targeting expansions to Las Vegas, Phoenix, Dallas, and Miami. The company doubled down on plans for fully driverless commercial rollout in Austin by year’s end. Meanwhile, Europe is next on the FSD rollout, with system upgrades tuned for stricter safety and road laws, signaling Tesla’s push to win regulatory and public trust overseas.
The Tesla Semi made headlines with a striking redesign to match the Cybertruck and Model Y. Inside the Nevada factory, newly released video on Tesla’s official social channel teased the production line. Musk confirmed the Semi heads to full production next year, with 50,000 units per year the new target. Major freight corporations have already tested the truck, but general market deliveries await 2026.
The Tesla Model Y Performance also stirred Canadian excitement: executive Raj Jegannathan revealed the high-performance crossover hits the Canadian market in Q1 2026, shipped—interestingly—not from Texas but Berlin, to dodge U.S.-Canada tariffs. Tesla continues to refine the Model Y with new styling and handling upgrades, and U.S. deliveries are set for late November.
And then there is the Roadster, the poster child for Tesla’s “epic demo” culture. Musk’s latest move: scheduling the next-gen Roadster unveiling for April 1, 2026, trolling fans and critics alike with an April Fools’ Day date. His interview with Joe Rogan suggested James Bond-style gadgets and “memorable” showmanship, but as many industry insiders point out, even that timeline feels optimistic.
Finally, on the social front, Tesla made an appearance at the Waffle Factory in Switzerland, adding to its global grassroots marketing and community events, though this was more festive than newsworthy.
In summary, while much of the Tesla news cycle buzzes with far-reaching promises and historic corporate moves, the spotlight remains fixed on Elon Musk’s break-the-mold leadership and the world’s most watched bet on the future of mobility and AI.
