A Tesla Cybertruck owner named Nicholas Brownell described a frightening experience with the vehicle's Full Self-Driving system during a whiteout blizzard. The system struggled with snow-covered cameras and chose unplowed back roads over cleared main routes, forcing multiple manual interventions. This incident highlights limitations of Tesla's vision-only autonomous technology in severe weather.
Elon Musk announced that Tesla's next-generation AI5 chip is almost complete, with early work already underway on AI6 and plans for a nine-month development cycle for future iterations. The chips are expected to become the highest-volume AI processors globally, powering vehicles, robots, and more. This update highlights Tesla's aggressive push in AI hardware for autonomy and beyond.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on January 14, 2026, via X that the company will end one-time purchases of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software after February 14, 2026, moving exclusively to subscriptions amid a California court ruling deeming FSD marketing misleading, ongoing NHTSA investigations, declining sales (1.64 million vehicles in 2025, down 9%), low adoption (12-15%), BYD overtaking as top EV maker, and rising competition from Nvidia, Rivian, and Waymo. The shift may aid Musk's trillion-dollar compensation goals requiring 10 million active FSD subscriptions.
