"Just wanted to say thank you to everyone supporting Tesla in the face of relentless attacks..." - Elon Musk (@elonmusk)

■ TESLA $TSLA ($278.39, +11.93%):

- New videos of the Tesla Diner have been posted by AL Set (@AlSet51241438). The Superchargers and solar Cyber-canopies in the adjacent lot are nearing completion.

- According to an American University’s Kogod School of Business review, Tesla makes the most Ameircan-Made cars:

  • Model 3 Performance at 87.5%.

  • Model Y Long Range at 85%.

  • Cybertruck at 82.5%.

  • Model S, Model X, and Ford Mustang GT at 80%

  • Honda Passport at 76.5%

- Andre Thierig, Plant Manager of Giga Berlin, has stated 92% of components for the Model Y now come from somewhere in Europe.

- Equis Australia has reached financial close and begun construction on the 138 Megapack 250 MW/500 MWh Calala Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) near Tamworth, New South Wales. They secured $260 million in non-recourse senior debt financing from Westpac, Societe Generale, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. It will be split into two independent systems (100 MW/200 MWh and 150 MW/300 MWh), with the smaller portion backed by a long-term offtake agreement with Smartest Energy. It is expected to be fully operational by 2027.

- FBI Director Kash Patel (@FBIDirectorKash) posted that the FBI is investigating the increase in violent activity toward Tesla, and over the last few days. "We have taken additional steps to crack down and coordinate our response. This is domestic terrorism. Those responsible will be pursued, caught, and brought to justice."

- FSD is starting to appear in new existing inventory in many countries across Europe. Some have a "Discover the Packs" section with videos of FSD supervised. Looks like Tesla is preparing for a release soon.

- Tesla is upgrading Sentry Mode to trigger the alarm and play music at max volume if a threat is detected. Currently, only the alarm can play music at max volume when triggered.

- Maye Musk (@mayemusk), looking as elegant as ever, visited with Tesla China VP Grace Tao Lin this weekend in China. Per Grace, "Last weekend, under the bright spring sunshine in Wuxi, Ms. Maye took time to experience the new Model Y and praised it highly. The unique glacier blue of Giga Shanghai is matched with the cherry blossoms pink. It is as elegant and noble as Maye's temperament. I sincerely hope that every woman can be like her, with dreams in their hearts and light in their eyes."

- Tesla halted its free FSD trial in China due to new regulations from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology requiring pre-approval for over-the-air software updates. Per Grace Tao Lin, "In line with the latest "Notice of Enhanced Intelligent Connected Car Product Access, Recall, and Software Online Upgrade Management" requirements, the team is completing approval for the intelligent secondary driving software corresponding to 3.0 and 4.0 hardware, respectively. All parties are actively pursuing the relevant process and will be open to everyone as soon as possible when the process is ready."

- Last week in China, the Model Y sold 9,451 units. Topping the list of SUV's sold. Second was the Polar Extreme Krypton 7X at only 1,390.

- Joe with Tesla Owners Club San Joaquin Valley (@SjvTesla) visited the Tesla Stockton Service Center, where he toured the facility and engaged with the team ensuring they knew that the community has their backs and support. Great work, Joe!

- X Global Governmental Affairs posted they are objecting to the Turkish Information and Communication Technologies Authority's court orders to block over 700 accounts of news organizations, journalists, political figures, and students in Türkiye. Much of this is due to protests following the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu on corruption charges that caused demonstrations by over 1 million people against President Erdogan's government, with 1,133 detentions and 123 police injuries.

- Last Friday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) announced that the state returned $878,112,000 in federal funds to the U.S. Treasury, following a meeting with Elon and the DOGE team. The funds were returned due to ideological strings attached by the Biden Administration, which had previously hindered Florida's attempts to return the money. DeSantis highlighted that the process, which had been stalled for years, was completed in a single day with DOGE's assistance, and he urged other states to support DOGE's efforts in identifying and returning unused or surplus federal funding.
