- 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.
- Tesla (TSLA) Gets A Lift From China’s $37 Billion Subsidies And EV Tipping Point
Tesla is among the beneficiaries of China's new ¥270b (about US$37b) subsidy program for smart and green technology, which covers devices such as smartphones, laptops and electric vehicles. Elon Musk pointed to a global tipping point, with gasoline-only vehicles now below 50% of new car sales worldwide. The article says the subsidies support Tesla's EV demand, but heavy capital spending and thinner automotive margins remain concerns. The key test will be Tesla's reported deliveries and FSD subscription counts in China over the next few quarters.
- Elon Musk Sees ‘Almost All Cars’ Going Electric as Gasoline-Only Vehicles Fall Below Half of Global Sales
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Wednesday that he is optimistic almost all future cars will be electric, after gasoline-only vehicles fell below 50% of global new vehicle sales for the first time. Mobility Global data, reported by Nikkei, show the gas-engine share dropped 3 percentage points to 49% for January through June, while EVs accounted for 17% of new-vehicle sales. Pure gasoline cars declined from 73% of the market in 2021 to 49% in the first half of 2026, and Mobility Global forecasts EVs will make up more than 30% of total vehicle production by 2030. Meanwhile, BYD surpassed Tesla as the world’s largest EV maker for the full year 2025. Tesla shares fell 3.35% in after-hours trading, after closing 2.15% lower at $367.16 in the regular session.
- Tesla's China Problem Gets Harder to Ignore
BYD sold 490,168 new energy vehicles in October, up 11% year on year, and its overseas sales jumped 102.8% to 170,194 vehicles. Xiaomi delivered more than 50,000 vehicles and XPeng delivered 50,237, up 19.6% year on year, with both posting record or near-record results. Tesla's retail sales in China fell 11.9% in the first nine months of 2026 to 381,088 vehicles, and its global third-quarter deliveries dropped 2% to 486,532. Tesla has relied more on exports from its Shanghai factory, which rose 115% from January through August and made up about 51% of its China wholesale sales. BYD overtook Tesla as the world's largest EV seller in 2025, with 2.26 million vehicles against Tesla's 1.64 million.

- Tesla-SpaceX Merger Could Face The Biggest Regulatory Risk In China, BofA Warns
Bank of America said a potential Tesla–SpaceX merger could face its biggest regulatory challenge in China, given Tesla's reliance on its Shanghai plant and SpaceX's ties to the US defense industry. Under the all-stock deal BofA described, the Shanghai factory, which makes roughly half of Tesla's global output, would come under a major US defense contractor, raising possible national security concerns. Tesla says the plant has an installed annual capacity above 950,000 vehicles. BofA said it believes Tesla's special committee can likely negotiate a premium, and it kept its 'Buy' rating and $460 price target on Tesla. At the time of writing SPCX was down more than 5% and TSLA 1.8%, with TSLA down 9% in 2026 and SPCX near its $135 IPO price after a sharp sell-off this month.

- AppLovin Is the Worst-Performing Stock in the S&P 500 This Year. Has the Market Overreacted?
AppLovin (APP) shares are down 65% so far in 2026, the worst performance in the S&P 500 as of end-October, as fears that AI could disrupt its adtech business have weighed on the stock. Its fundamentals remain strong: first-half revenue rose 56% year over year to $3.8 billion with a 66% profit margin, and the company forecasts about $2.1 billion in revenue for the current quarter at an 83% adjusted margin. The author argues that the stock's high valuation earlier in the year may have been a major factor behind the decline. At 18 times trailing earnings versus about 24 for the average S&P 500 stock, the author believes the market may have overreacted and that the shares could be worth considering for investors comfortable with risk and volatility.

AWS revenue jumped more than 39% to $46 billion, its fastest growth in nearly five years, while its operating income rose 56% to $17.8 billion. Advertising revenue growth slowed to 12% from 26% in the prior quarter.

- Microsoft Copilot AI Predicts a Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) Explosion
The article presents a Microsoft Copilot AI forecast for Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) under an extreme and unlikely scenario in which the project signs a multi-year partnership with a major global entertainment and consumer brand, turning the PENGU token into a mainstream consumer brand. Technically, the token has been consolidating in the $0.0069–$0.0072 range, with resistance at $0.008–$0.009 and support at $0.0070–$0.0072 and $0.0060–$0.0065. In a speculative case assuming a full crypto bull market returns, PENGU could reach $0.45–$0.85, with a stretch target above $1.50 by January 1, 2027. The article stresses that this is pure speculation rather than a realistic base case.

- Attorney Mark Lanier Calls for Social Media Companies to Make Meaningful Changes in Wake of Meta, Snap Settlements
Attorney Mark Lanier of The Lanier Law Firm is urging social media companies to make lasting changes after Meta and Snap reached settlements ahead of the second bellwether trial over alleged addictive design and mental health harm to young users. He argues that a permanent fix with real design changes is needed to protect children, and that trials will continue until then. The settlement terms were not disclosed, and the companies still face more than 1,600 claims from families and school districts. The next bellwether trials are set for March 2027 before Judge Carolyn B. Kuhl in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The first trial ended in March with a $6 million verdict against Meta and Google's YouTube, with plaintiffs framing platform design features, not user content, as defective products.
