- In February 2026, Tesla cut the price of its cheapest Cybertruck model to $59,990, but this did not improve sales.
- The two-seat, Starlink-connected driverless Cybercab began taking passengers in Austin in September 2026, joining Tesla’s small robotaxi fleet of Model Y and Model 3 vehicles configured for robotaxis.
- That same week, the NHTSA opened an investigation into whether Tesla had illegally circumvented federal safety certification requirements.
- Tesla’s Q3 figures, published on October 22, listed 8,295 deliveries of “other models,” effectively the Cybertruck, compared with 478,237 Model 3 and Model Y deliveries combined.

- Ford developed the Fathom through a Skunkworks program launched in 2022 to pursue simpler electric cars after the company lost billions on its first EV generation.
- For its next EV generation, Ford plans an assembly-tree system in which the front, rear, and structural battery-and-interior sections are built on three separate lines before being joined.
- Ford says the Fathom accelerates as quickly as a Mustang EcoBoost, has the interior cargo capacity of a Toyota RAV4, and will be its first vehicle with Apple software integration.
- The full design, trim details, and range estimates remain unknown because Ford has so far shown only camouflage-wrapped vehicles.
