Here is your first full walkaround of the two European Tesla Semis in Hannover, Germany.
Also had a quick chat with @danWpriestley and the team.

1. Voice activity detection
To remove the need for pressing a button to start and stop recording of speech intention, we created a system for automatically detecting when a user is and isn’t trying to speak.
This is a big step towards making communication for those with speech impairment completely hands-free.

Potential HUGE catalyst for EVs in US: a new House bill would bring back the federal EV tax credit at double the size: up to $15,000 for new EVs and up to $8,000 for used ones, made permanent.
It still needs to pass both chambers and be signed into law.

A BYD Megawatt Flash Charger in China was found with its two charging handles chained together.

Every fourth car sold so far this year in Europe has been fully electric.
More BEVs are sold than petrol cars, and September even hit 30.5%, up 59.9% year over year.

Did you know China is currently building 95% of the world's electric trucks?
Tesla Semi is basically the only one to change this noticeably.
I just sent you my second eTruckwire newsletter, filled with news from the electric trucking world: evwire.com/p/electric-truck-…
Tesla FSD Supervised / TAD incoming for Italy 👀
Very positive and constructive conversation with @elonmusk today.
Italy is looking with great interest at the opportunities offered by assisted driving technologies, with a focus on innovation and road safety, and supports a swift EU approval of Tesla Assisted Driving.
Thanks for the exchange, Elon!
In fact, the September EV sales data from ACEA puts Europe only 35 377 EVs short of the 2 585 187 sold in the whole of 2025, so we passed last year in on October 1st.
