  • Notable proposal on electric cars in Vietnam

    A draft national technical regulation on safety and environmental protection for cars would require pure battery electric vehicles (BEV or PEV) to be fitted with an AVAS sound alert system for pedestrians and cyclists. AVAS must activate automatically when the vehicle travels below 20 km/h or reverses, is on by default at start-up, and may have a switch that drivers can use to turn it on or off. The sound must be continuous, change with speed, and must not resemble horns, bells, emergency alarms, musical tones, or animal sounds; for M1 cars fitted with AVAS, it may only operate when running fully on electricity. According to the Vietnam Register, pure electric cars can move slowly without the engine noise people nearby expect, so the requirement aims to improve safety for pedestrians, motorcyclists and cyclists.

  • Tesla (TSLA) Faces Texas Democratic Sweep That Threatens AI And Autonomy Plans

    On 3 November 2026, Texas voters gave Democrats full control of state government, including the governorship, for the first time in decades, which affects Tesla (NasdaqGS:TSLA). The incoming administration has signaled stricter oversight of autonomous vehicles, emissions compliance and worker protections at Tesla's Texas facilities. Transition documents from the governor-elect's team mention reviews of large-scale AI data centers and chip-related projects that could affect Tesla's in-state buildout. The article argues that elevated capex and a thin 3.1% net margin leave little room if projects are slowed by regulation rather than technology. Key signals to watch include state-level pauses on new AI or chip facilities, revised permitting timelines for the Austin fab and data centers, or new state investigations into FSD and Cybercab safety during 2027.

  • Tesla Could Be About to Unlock a Brand-New Revenue Stream. Time to Buy the Stock?

    Tesla launched the two-seat Cybercab, an autonomous vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals, in September and plans to sell it to consumers by year-end so they can run their own fleets. Beyond vehicle sales, the company could earn commissions on rides, FSD subscription fees or maintenance, though it has not confirmed these. Under the article's assumptions of 10 rides a day at $15 each over a 10-year life, one Cybercab could generate $547,500 in revenue, far more than a Model Y over its lifetime. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating whether Tesla properly self-certified the Cybercab, which could force exemptions, modifications or a delayed rollout. The author says the market has already priced in the Cybercab's success, and at 159.8x forward earnings, with regulatory and competitive risks, the stock looks too risky.

  • Why Is Tesla (TSLA) Reworking Cybertruck Plans And Battery Rules Now?

    Tesla (NasdaqGS:TSLA) halted Cybertruck reservations and sales plans in Australia and New Zealand and told customers their orders were cancelled. The US CFTC approved key performance indicator swaps tied to company metrics, including Tesla operational benchmarks. Regulators continued advancing battery passport traceability rules, in which Tesla participates through systems tracking EV battery origin and recycling data. Elon Musk's political donations to parties critical of US EV tax credits raised questions about alignment with Tesla's exposure to federal incentives. The article frames these moves as a test of execution discipline, and says investors should watch FSD subscription uptake, robotaxi usage, and how many models and factories comply with European battery passport rules.

  • Rushed to market without full testing, Chinese cars are reined in by regulators

    China's regulator has issued a draft tightening control over innovative vehicle design and test validation, after some automakers rushed out new products with incomplete testing. Hà Chí Kỳ, executive deputy general manager of BYD, said the domestic market received 542 new models in the first five months of 2026, an average of 3.6 per day. The draft requires reliability testing of at least 30,000 km and environmental adaptation cycles of no less than one year covering two winters and a summer, and bans fully hidden door handles, foldable and flexible screens, and seats that convert to beds while the car is moving. Products that are not declared as required or are insufficiently validated will not be approved. Public comments are open until 10 November 2026, with the rules expected to take effect on 1 January 2027 for new products, while existing models in the catalogue must submit supplementary filings before 1 July 2027.

  • Tesla says it will start selling Cybercabs by end of year

    Tesla said it will start selling Cybercabs to customers by year-end, even as federal regulators investigate whether the vehicle meets safety standards. The gold-hued, autonomous two-seater has no steering wheel. On the third-quarter earnings call, Tesla VP of engineering Lars Moravy said all Cybercabs produced now are for Tesla's own robotaxi fleet, and customer sales will start small and expand as the company learns about delivery, ownership and fleet management. Musk said Cybercab will mainly be a Tesla-owned transport service, and that an unsupervised version of FSD is expected for customers in the second quarter of next year, another delay for owners who bought the software years ago.

  • Fewer Families Own Stocks Directly, 19.0% in 2025, but Their Typical Holding Jumped 83% to $30,000

    The Federal Reserve's newest Survey of Consumer Finances shows the share of families directly holding individual stocks fell from 21.0% in 2022 to 19.0% in 2025. Among families that still held shares, the median holding rose 83%, from $16,400 to $30,000 in 2025 dollars, while the mean was $524,300 because a few large portfolios pull it up. The article cites rising stock prices and a possible factor that families leaving the market tended to have smaller accounts, alongside heavy concentration: the top 1% by wealth held 50.9% of household corporate equities and mutual funds in Q2 2026, versus 0.6% for the bottom 50%. For retirees holding individual stocks, the article flags concentrated positions, underestimated overall stock exposure, and capital gains taxes that can keep concentrated holdings in place longer than planned.

  • Sandisk Sinks 14%, Micron Down 10% as a Top Phone Chipmaker Blames Weak Sales on “Industry-Wide Memory Dynamics”

    Sandisk (SNDK) fell 14%, Micron (MU) 10% and Seagate (STX) 12% after Qualcomm (QCOM), a top phone chipmaker, reported handset chip revenue down 26% to $5.14 billion in the quarter to Sept. 27, citing industry-wide memory dynamics. Sandisk's own Edge revenue, from phones, PCs and cars, rose 320% year over year despite 20% fewer exabytes shipped, as price drove results. Analysts still expect Sandisk's normalized EPS to more than triple to $227.80 in fiscal 2027, with multiyear contracts supporting a gross margin of about 80%. The shares trade at 4.4x forward earnings, the lowest in a year and below the 10.8x average, and the author says the selloff has run ahead of the damage.

  • SK hynix Sinks 9% as Qualcomm’s 26% Handset Plunge Deepens Memory Chip Rout

    SK hynix (SKHY) fell 9% after Qualcomm (QCOM) reported handset chip sales down 26% to $5.14 billion in the quarter ended Sept. 27. Qualcomm said chip costs, memory included, are rising and it is raising its own prices to match, and it expects a flat handset market in 2027. Higher memory prices lifted SK hynix's gross margin from 57.4% in the quarter to September 2025 to 85.7% a year later, mainly on conventional DRAM used in phones and PCs. Apple reported a record September-quarter iPhone result, but its inventories more than doubled to $14.5 billion, which the author reads as stocking up before memory prices rose further. SK hynix trades at 2.9x forward earnings, and contracts with 14 customers cover over half of its planned 2027-2028 capacity, though most prices are still set monthly or quarterly.

  • Elon Musk faces a new $28.5 trillion problem after Texas upset

    Shares of Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX) fell 5.5% and Tesla dropped 5.1% after Democrats won the U.S. midterm elections, raising concerns about regulatory scrutiny and possible delays to expansion of AI infrastructure. In Texas, where Musk has major operations, Gina Hinojosa defeated Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and has proposed suspending new data-center projects until stronger protections on electricity costs, water use and community concerns are in place, a move particularly relevant to SpaceX's plan to raise AI computing capacity from 1.7 gigawatts at the end of September to as much as 3 gigawatts by year-end and 13 gigawatts in 2027. Musk spent nearly $500 million supporting Republican candidates and political groups, and Democratic lawmakers may examine his government contracts and his earlier role in the Department of Government Efficiency. No statewide data-center moratorium has been enacted yet, and the financial impact remains uncertain.
