Drive Tesla Download is back. We’re bringing back our weekly top-stories roundup so you can catch up on the biggest Tesla headlines from the past week — without digging through every post.
It was another busy stretch of Tesla news, with major developments ranging from Canada’s first Semi Megacharger project in British Columbia to the return of Roadster reservations, plus new charging tech, Robotaxi updates, regulatory scrutiny, and a few owner and vehicle milestones.
Here are some of the biggest stories from this week.
Tesla’s Megacharger network in Canada took its first step forward as construction plans moved closer to reality. RR Plett Trucking confirmed that work will begin next month on Canada’s first Tesla Semi Megachargers in B.C., marking an important milestone for the expansion of electric freight infrastructure in Canada.
Tesla also reopened Roadster reservations in Canada and the United States, giving reservation holders another opportunity to secure the upcoming electric sports car. Customers are required to complete an initial payment and follow-up wire transfer as part of the reservation process.
Charging remained a major theme throughout the week. Tesla introduced its new Accordion Supercharger design, which uses a pre-assembled approach aimed at reducing installation costs and speeding up deployment. Tesla says the design can lower installation costs by about 20%.
The company also announced plans to expand its public Semi Megacharger network through additional deployments with Forum Mobility in California, building out charging infrastructure designed for commercial electric trucks.
The Robotaxi app finally arrived on Android this week, bringing the experience to more users after previously being limited by platform availability.
Tesla’s software ecosystem also received a security update, with passkey support added through Tesla app version 4.61.0. The feature provides another way for owners to secure their accounts without relying solely on traditional passwords.
On the product side, Tesla increased Wall Connector pricing again in Canada, pushing the Universal Wall Connector closer to the $1,000 mark.
Tesla’s self-driving efforts also remained in the spotlight. NHTSA issued a special order requesting additional information from Tesla regarding Cybercab certification and compliance questions.
Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs lowered its Tesla Q3 delivery estimate to 435,000 vehicles, citing weaker sales expectations in several major markets.
That wraps up this week’s biggest Tesla stories. Stay tuned to Drive Tesla Canada for more updates as Tesla’s charging network, vehicles, and autonomous driving technology continue to evolve.
