Tesla launched the Cybercab, a two-seat autonomous vehicle with no steering wheel, accelerator, or brake pedal, for commercial service in Austin on September 4. As of October 10, Tesla had 739 autonomous vehicles registered in Texas, including 420 Model Y and 319 Cybercabs, up sharply from 420 vehicles (45 Cybercabs) on September 4. According to RobotaxiTracker, 277 vehicles are actually in service in Austin, including 107 Cybercabs, a fleet in the same range as Waymo's more than 300 vehicles. Cybercabs make up 39% of the registered fleet but only about 11% of the 531 reported rides. Tesla's service runs from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., while Waymo operates 24/7 through the Uber app, and the article says the key metrics to watch are in-service vehicles and actual rides.

- Why a Tesla–SpaceX merger might actually not be 'so easy'
According to Tom Narayan, lead equity analyst for global autos at RBC Capital Markets, a SpaceX acquisition of Tesla would be complicated and most likely an all-stock deal. Elon Musk controls 85% of the voting power at SpaceX but only about 20% at Tesla, so the deal would need a substantial premium. RBC's price target of $480 per Tesla share reflects Tesla's intrinsic value plus a premium, which at SpaceX's current share price would imply a 50/50 split of the combined company. Narayan said some SpaceX holders may not like this, since market caps suggest 60–70% of the combined value could come from SpaceX, though both shareholder bases want the deal at the right price.
- Meta and Musk earnings and September pending home sales: What to Watch
This week brings Q3 earnings from Netflix (NFLX), SpaceX (SPCX), Meta (META) and Tesla (TSLA), along with September pending home sales data. Netflix and SpaceX report on Tuesday, with analysts forecasting Netflix third-quarter revenue of $12.9 billion and watching subscriber growth, while SpaceX investors will track launch cadence and Starlink subscriber count. Meta and Tesla report on Wednesday: Meta is expected to show higher revenue amid its AI investments, while Tesla is expected to post year-over-year earnings declines, with attention on the new Roadster. Economists expect September pending home sales to be flat month over month.
- Buy, Hold or Sell TSLA Stock? Key Tips Ahead of Q3 Earnings
Tesla (TSLA) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results after the close on Wednesday. The Zacks consensus expects earnings of 44 cents per share, down 12% year over year, and revenue of $27.8 billion, down 1.1%. Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles in the quarter, up 1.3% sequentially but down 2.1% year over year and below the model estimate of 494,446 units. Zacks' Earnings ESP of -10.98% and Rank #4 (Sell) mean its model does not predict an earnings beat. The article notes that 2026 capex is expected to exceed $25 billion and shares are down 21% year to date, and it argues investors are better off staying away from the stock now.
- Treasuries Rallied as Tech Slid , and the Crowded Bet Against Bonds Felt It
Last week, the US 10-year Treasury yield fell about 17 basis points while the Nasdaq 100 dropped 5.5%, the largest same-week declines in both since the April 2025 tariff turmoil, according to Bloomberg. The move caught investors who had heavily bet on a deeper bond slump after 10-year yields climbed for seven months to their highest levels in more than two decades. A sell-off in AI-linked tech stocks triggered the rally, and trend-following commodity trading advisers exited their bearish Treasury futures positions. Traders had at one point priced about a 50% chance of a Fed rate hike in October and still expect one increase by year-end and another in 2027. Meanwhile, investment-grade companies, led by megacap technology, have sold about $1.7 trillion of bonds this year, up 29% from a year earlier.

- Netflix stock is down roughly 25% in 2026 as Q3 earnings loom
Netflix (NFLX) reports third-quarter results after the bell on Tuesday, with the stock down more than 25% this year and closing Friday near $70, versus $93.76 at the end of 2025. Investors are worried about slowing viewership, competition from YouTube, and live sports moving to Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max. Last week Netflix cut about 6% of its workforce (roughly 1,000 employees) and named Peter Rice its new chief content officer, and five firms lowered price targets in October. Analysts expect EPS of $0.82 on revenue of $12.88 billion, up about 12% from a year earlier, in line with Netflix's own forecast. KeyBanc's Justin Patterson wants more content investment, product changes, expense cuts and a possible first-ever dividend.
- Cleveland-Cliffs Jumps 10% on Strongest Quarter in Three Years; Nucor and Steel Dynamics Edge Higher
Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) rose 10% to $13.29 after reporting third-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $612 million, beating its $575 million guidance and up sharply from $143 million a year earlier. Revenue of $5.61 billion missed the $5.72 billion expected, though sales rose 18.6% year over year on a higher average net selling price of $1,177 per ton and larger shipments. Management said imports remain well below historical levels, but it indefinitely idled the galvanizing lines at its Canadian unit Stelco due to oversupply. The company guided to about $715 million of adjusted EBITDA in Q4 and said 2027 adjusted EBITDA should exceed $4 billion based on current index price forecasts. Its target is to bring net debt to EBITDA below 2.5x by mid-2027.
- Tech rebounds as semiconductor stocks jump: AlphaCheck
Stocks were mostly higher on Monday as investors turned their focus to earnings season, with semiconductor stocks rebounding after last week's sharp sell-off.

- AI capex may be Meta's biggest earnings test
Meta Platforms (META) reports third-quarter earnings after the close on Wednesday, alongside a wave of Big Tech peers. The GAAP EPS estimate is $3.54, though that figure may be messy because a legal settlement will be included and analysts differ on how it will be accounted for. Options imply a 3.2% move in either direction, the smallest since the fourth-quarter report before last. Estimates for next year's capex vary widely: Wedbush near $250 billion, Evercore ISI $210 billion, Bank of America $205 billion and Dan Ives around $194 billion. Most analysts say that spending is acceptable if Meta provides a Muse roadmap and confidence it can monetize it, and the stock is up about seven and a half percent year to date.
