The article says China's push into cheap electric vehicles is pressuring U.S. and European automakers, and that Tesla's new Roadster shows technology matters little if it cannot be built at a workable cost. Drawing on a Simply Wall St screen of U.S. advanced manufacturing and EV supply chain companies, it profiles three firms. SOLV Energy designs and builds utility-scale solar and battery storage projects, with about US$3.17 billion of Heavy Construction revenue in the U.S. and a market cap of about US$4.36 billion. Dana makes axles, driveshafts, electric drivetrains and cooling systems, with about US$5.43 billion of Light Vehicle and US$2.42 billion of Commercial Vehicle sales, a market cap of about US$3.04 billion, a three-year net new sales backlog of about US$950 million, and a RAM Dakota axle program worth US$250 million in annual sales. Power Integrations' high-voltage GaN technology extends from 750–1,700 V up to 2,200 V and could lift average selling prices and gross margins. The screen surfaced 112 more companies not covered in the article.

- Why are Chinese electric cars spreading across Europe?
Chinese electric cars such as Chery's Jaecoo 7, which looks similar to the Range Rover but costs about half as much, are selling well across Europe, especially in the UK, where it was the best-selling model in September. According to Rhodium Group, Chinese car sales in Europe reached 66,000 units in 2021 and have kept rising; in the first 8 months of this year, Chinese brands held over 28% of the UK's electric and hybrid market and 21.7% of battery-electric sales in the EU, while sales of five Chinese carmakers in the EU rose 71%. Price and technology are key factors, as BYD models typically cost 30,000-45,000 euros, below the 50,000-euro average for European EVs. While the EU drafts a law requiring “made in Europe” content to exclude Chinese vehicles from financial support, Geely has agreed to buy a 34% stake from Ford in Spain, and Changan says it could produce “made in Europe” vehicles from next year. However, experts warn the proposal could hurt European companies that depend on Chinese batteries, after Sweden's Northvolt filed for bankruptcy last year.
- Exclusive: ‘I’ve seen this movie before’: A Michigan-raised ex-Tesla exec raises $45 million to break China’s grip on batteries
Holyvolt, a Stockholm-based battery-materials startup, has raised $45 million in all-equity funding from Fifth Wall, Zone II, CC.VC and several angel investors, valuing the company at $245 million according to a person familiar with the deal. COO Steven Prast, a former Tesla manufacturing leader, argues that China makes about 85% of the world's cathode active material and about 80% of battery cells, so the West cannot win by competing on the chemistries China already dominates. Holyvolt merged with San Diego's Wildcat Discovery Technologies, whose high-throughput platform has run more than 225 projects for more than 85 customers and tested over 500,000 cells in 18 years. Based on a customer case study, the company says its lab, paired with AI models trained on that data, works about 10 times faster than conventional R&D. Its first output is DRX (disordered rocksalt), a cathode family with neither nickel nor cobalt that Prast says delivers NMC-like performance.
- China praises Indonesia after $10.2 billion deal: President Prabowo calls foreign partners 'brothers'
On October 8, President Prabowo launched 11 downstream industrial projects backed by China, estimated at $10.2 billion, at the Weda Bay Industrial Park (IWIP) in Central Halmahera, North Maluku. He witnessed the first export shipment of electric vehicle batteries produced by Chinese firms at the park and described foreign partners as 'brothers' of the Indonesian people. On October 13, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ninh said that 'the success of Chinese companies in Indonesia is also Indonesia's success' and expressed confidence that Indonesia would keep protecting the legitimate rights of Chinese firms. Total investment in IWIP has exceeded $20 billion, with another $7 billion planned for expansion, and the zone has created more than 100,000 jobs.
- Tesla Asian supplier shares fall after mixed Q3 earnings, cautious outlook
Tesla's Asian suppliers fell Thursday after the EV maker posted mixed third-quarter results and a cautious outlook on robotics and chipmaking. Battery, electronics and auto parts suppliers were hit hardest, including LG Energy Solution (down 3%), Samsung SDI (down 4.5%), Samsung Electronics (down 3.3%) and CATL (down 5.5% in Hong Kong). Tesla beat on quarterly profit and revenue, but net income fell sharply year on year, and full-year capex guidance was cut to $20 billion from $25 billion. Musk said Optimus is not yet truly useful for open-ended tasks, robotaxi and cybercab revenue will only arrive by mid-to-late 2027, and the Terafab chip venture with SpaceX carries steep costs. Tesla shares fell 3% after hours, after initially rising 1%.
- Don't Overlook Tesla (TSLA) International Revenue Trends While Assessing the Stock
Tesla reported total revenue of $28.05 billion for the quarter ending September 2026, down 0.2% year over year. China contributed $5.21 billion (18.6% of revenue), below the consensus estimate of $5.68 billion (a surprise of -8.25%), but up from $4.68 billion (16.6%) in the previous quarter and down from $5.65 billion (20.1%) a year earlier. Other International generated $10.34 billion (36.9%), beating the $9.17 billion analysts had projected by +12.82%. For the current quarter, Wall Street analysts expect revenue of $28.64 billion, up 15% year over year, with China at 19.8% ($5.67 billion) and Other International at 32.4% ($9.27 billion). The article notes that overseas operations can cushion local downturns but also bring currency, geopolitical and market-behavior risks.
- Elon Musk Met Xi Jinping and Took Tesla FSD to China — Now His CFO Says Getting the Green Light for Unsupervised Driving Is ‘Hard’
Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja said on the third-quarter 2026 earnings call that the company is working to secure broader Full Self-Driving (FSD) approval in China, adding that approval is “hard” to obtain, while Elon Musk said Tesla is pushing hard for approval in more markets. Taneja said Tesla no longer holds the earlier technology lead over Chinese automakers, but argued that some Chinese CEOs who tried FSD in the U.S. were impressed and that Tesla’s safety data could help persuade regulators. Tesla launched FSD Supervised in China in May, priced at RMB 64,000 (about $9,500) as “Tesla Assisted Driving,” and denied reports it was pulling back after shutting a Shanghai data center. Reports cited new Chinese rules taking effect July 1 next year that would hold automakers liable for accidents in autonomous mode and require a 10-second window for drivers to take over, while the data export ban remains a key hurdle.

- This Rock-Solid Dividend ETF Could Be a Better Option Than Tracking the S&P 500
The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) focuses on quality dividend stocks with sustainable payouts and strong fundamentals relative to peers. The fund holds just 12% in technology, while consumer staples, healthcare and energy make up 55% of its portfolio, giving it diversification and fairly low volatility. It offers a yield of 3.2%, well above the S&P 500 average of approximately 1.1%, and charges an expense ratio of just 0.06%. The fund has also returned around 30% this year, outperforming the market, before factoring in its dividend.
- Elon Musk Reveals the Real Reason He Hasn't Confirmed a SpaceX-Tesla Merger Will Happen
Speculation about a possible SpaceX-Tesla merger keeps growing, and for many investors it is a question of when, not if. Musk has not confirmed the deal because of regulatory risk, describing the topic as “tap dancing through a minefield” while saying there is “a lot of merit” in combining the companies. He says special committees have been formed to consider a merger, but he cannot take part as a “conflicted party,” and shareholders would need to approve any deal. The article suggests an announcement could come soon, but regulatory review would likely take much longer, and since both stocks are already highly valued, an announcement may not push either share price much higher in the short term.
- Amazon Is Underperforming the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100. Could Oct. 29 Mark a Turning Point?
Amazon shares have risen roughly 7% in 2026, lagging the S&P 500's 11% and the Nasdaq-100's 16%, and over the past five years the stock has gained about 49% versus an 80% total return for the S&P 500. The company remains a leader in e-commerce and cloud infrastructure through AWS, and its digital advertising business is growing strongly, but its margins trail other big tech firms because most revenue comes from low-margin retail. Heavy capital expenditure, raised from roughly 200 billion USD to roughly 220 billion USD for the year, has also weighed on valuation. The author argues the Oct. 29 Q3 report does not need to be a turning point, since current investments could reaccelerate AWS revenue growth and lead to free cash flow over the next two to five years, and sees Amazon as having strong long-term potential.
- Golden Key Helping Vietnam Become a New Asian Tiger Like South Korea and Singapore, With Average Income Exceeding 14,300 USD

- Tesla And 2 Other Top Founder Led Stocks
Simply Wall St highlights Tesla, Sprinklr and Spotify Technology as founder-led stocks from its screen. Tesla generates US$91.3 billion in revenue, mainly from automotive, plus US$12.3 billion from energy generation and storage, with a market value of about US$1.47 trillion. Elon Musk still directs bets on products, factories, AI and autonomy, but how these ambitions feed into margins and cash generation remains an open question. Sprinklr, led by Ragy Thomas, reports about US$872.9 million in software and programming revenue and a market value near US$1.6 billion, while integrating AI deeply into its products. Spotify reports €18.8 billion in revenue, most of it from Premium at about €16.9 billion, and a market value near $120.1 billion; Daniel Ek is pushing to improve economics through engagement, and how value is split among labels, creators and the platform is a key test.
