- Elon Musk Says Tesla Cars' Value Lies in FSD Service: 'People Are Buying FSD With a Car Attached, Not the Other Way Around'
Elon Musk, on X, backed the view that customers are buying Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, with the car being the add-on rather than the reverse. He was quoting a post by investor Sawyer Merritt, which showed Tesla's FSD subscriptions up 67% year-over-year to 1.74 million as of the third quarter. On the Q3 earnings call, CFO Vaibhav Taneja said showroom customers were asking for an FSD drive rather than specific models, but cautioned that approval for Unsupervised FSD in China was 'hard' to secure. Tesla has offered Supervised FSD in China since May under the name 'Tesla Assisted Driving,' charging RMB 64,000, or around $9,500. Investor Gene Munster said FSD had reached an 'inflection point,' while Dan Ives praised Tesla's FSD attach rates and its Optimus robots and reiterated talk of a possible Tesla–SpaceX merger.

- Full self-driving is a 'differentiator' for Tesla amid declining sales
One speaker said they were not surprised by lower revenue, pointing instead to greater adoption of Full Self-Driving (FSD), which added over 250,000 new subscriptions in the quarter. Another speaker noted FSD now accounts for over 75% of new vehicle deliveries in North America. The first speaker said Tesla's sales in North America and the US were down less than 10% year-over-year, while nearly every other EV maker saw declines of 20 to 30% or more, which they attributed to FSD as a differentiator. Demand is also rising in Europe as more countries approve FSD, with over 100,000 subscriptions there. The speakers expect FSD to be a key driver of delivery volumes in these two markets.
- US Appeals Court Overturns Class Action Lawsuit Over Tesla Self-Driving Claims
The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower-court order that allowed California Tesla customers to sue as a group over claims they were misled about full self-driving (FSD). The three-judge panel found too many individual questions, including what each buyer saw before purchase and whether all class members saw the website claim that vehicles sold from October 2016 onward had the hardware needed for FSD. The ruling is not on the merits and the false advertising case remains pending; plaintiffs allege customers paid extra for software that does not work, which Tesla denies. The article notes FSD matters to Tesla's business: about 55% of North American deliveries had an FSD subscription enabled at delivery and nearly 1.5 million customers pay for FSD worldwide. Meanwhile, free cash flow was negative last quarter as capital spending more than doubled, and automotive margins excluding credits fell from 19.2% to 16.3%.
- Should You Buy, Hold or Sell TSLA Stock After Its Cybercab Fleet Jump?
Tesla's Cybercab, a two-seat vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals, has grown past 300 vehicles in a month, but it still trails Alphabet's Waymo in driverless experience: Tesla's robotaxi hubs have logged about 380,000 driverless miles, while Waymo has over 220 million rider-only miles. NHTSA is auditing whether Cybercab meets U.S. safety standards, with Tesla given until Oct. 30 to answer 21 requests. Core business is under pressure: Q3 deliveries of 486,532 units fell 2.1% year over year, automotive gross margin excluding regulatory credits slipped to 16.3% in Q2, energy storage margin dropped to 20.4% from 39.5%, and 2026 capex is expected to top $25 billion. Shares are down 12% over the past year and trade at a 13.08 forward price-to-sales ratio, EPS estimates have been cut, and the article assigns TSLA a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

- Apple Says It Will Keep Paying More for Memory Chips After December. That's Good News for Micron Stock.
Micron shares fell about 6% on the same day Kioxia sank about 16% in Tokyo, after Kioxia guided for only about 1% sequential revenue growth in the December quarter. After its earnings call, Apple said it expects memory prices to keep rising beyond the December quarter, calling current pricing "unprecedented." Most of Micron's sales are DRAM, which hit a record $39.8 billion in its fiscal fourth quarter, up 343% year over year, though its price increases are slowing. The stock trades near $860, over 30% below its 52-week high of $1,255, and the author argues Apple's warning is good news for Micron, whose valuation may already assume memory profits fall sharply.
- [UPDATE] CNN projects Democrats will take the House from Republicans, President Trump denies responsibility
Democrat Chris Pappas won the New Hampshire Senate seat, defeating Republican John Sununu. AP projects Democrat Mark Warner will win re-election in Virginia over Bert Mizusawa, while Debbie Wasserman Schultz won the Florida 20th district House seat. CNN and AP project Jon Ossoff will be re-elected in Georgia over Mike Collins, but a runoff on December 1 would follow if no candidate wins a majority. Democrats also won Senate races in New Jersey, Illinois, Delaware, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Early projections are not final results, and some close races may take hours or even days to decide.
- Democrats claim control of the US Senate
According to the AP, Democrats have won control of the Senate after Josh Turek won the Iowa race, bringing their total, including independents who caucus with them, to 51 seats. The shift could change the path of the stalled CLARITY Act, reshape committee leadership and bring closer scrutiny of Trump-linked crypto businesses and regulators' decisions. The CLARITY Act failed a Senate procedural vote 49 to 50 in September, and if it is not passed by January, the next Congress starts from scratch. Jerome de Tychey, president of Ethereum France, said nothing will pass without cross-partisan support and warned that the biggest risk for US crypto is becoming a partisan issue.
- Why Shake Shack Stock Jumped 20% in October
Shake Shack shares rose 20% in October according to S&P Global Market Intelligence, amid a broader rotation into restaurant stocks as investors sold AI stocks. The gain was supported by plans to enter Brazil through a licensing partnership, several positive analyst notes, including Morgan Stanley raising its price target from $74 to $79 and UBS lifting its target from $68 to $73, and a late-month jump tied to Nelson Peltz's buyout proposal for Wendy's. Shake Shack will report third-quarter earnings on Thursday, with analysts expecting revenue to grow 16% to $426.3 million and adjusted EPS to fall from $0.36 to $0.34. Investors will watch same-store sales growth and margins, as the company has struggled to turn revenue growth into profit growth.
- Financial markets turbulent, safe-haven assets gain favor, except gold
Volatility from the AI rally has pushed investors toward US Treasuries, the dollar, the Swiss franc and the yen, but gold has not attracted inflows. Gold fell below 4,000 USD/ounce, its lowest level in a year, while central bank gold purchases rose 42% in the third quarter to 321 tonnes. Since the US and Israel first attacked Iran, gold has lost about a quarter of its value and is down 9% year to date in USD terms, the weakest of 14 major asset classes in Bank of America's ranking. Standard Chartered finds the correlation between gold and the S&P 500 has risen to 0.48 on a three-month rolling basis and 0.69 over one month. The bank's analysts say that in the short term, the need to raise cash could lead investors to sell gold rather than buy more.
- Over 2.5 million tax codes stuck: Debt write-off is not enough, a streamlined dissolution path is needed
The Ministry of Finance says that as of 23 October 2026, over 2.5 million taxpayers had ceased operating without completing procedures to close their tax codes or no longer operated at their registered address, including about 643,000 in status 03 and nearly 1.88 million in status 06. The ministry proposes waiving business licence fees and late-payment interest and reducing penalties for late tax filings, but lawyer Nguyen Van Duoc argues the bigger bottleneck is reconstructing years of accounting records, which is nearly infeasible for firms dormant for 10-20 years. He proposes allowing retroactive dissolution dates tied to when the tax authority determines a firm is no longer operating, alongside a streamlined dissolution process. As an example, a firm inactive since 2007 faced more than VND 78.2 million in charges that could fall to VND 6.9 million under the draft. VTCA proposes classifying files and handling cases based on data.
