New US Tariffs Could Push EV Prices Even Higher
On Tuesday, the US Commerce Department said it would hike steel and aluminum tariffs on more than 400 items, including motorcycles, wind turbines, appliances, and more. The steel tariffs will also affect EV motors. Other affected products include marine engines, furniture, and more. The Commerce Department said that 407 product categories will be added to the list of "derivative" steel and aluminum products covered by tariffs, per Reuters. There will be a 50% tariff on the steel and aluminum content of any of these products. These will be levied in addition to any existing country rate on the rest of the product; that is, anything not steel and aluminum inside an electric motor, for example. Consumers will face higher costs as a result of the new tariffs, even if it does take a while for buyers to feel their impact. Price increases may not take effect for some time as various manufacturers of goods work through existing supply before obtaining newly tariffed items like the electric motors subject to the new 50% tariff. Prices have already risen as a result of tariffs, too. Canada saw the Hyundai Santa Cruz blocked amid a trade dispute, and Ford recently announced it incurred $800 million in tariff-related expenses last quarter alone.

These include components for buses, as well as air conditioners. Automakers, predictably, urged the US to forgo further automotive tariffs. Tesla asked the Commerce Dept. to remove steel products used in EV motors (and wind turbines) from the list. Foreign automakers also asked the Commerce Dept. to forgo new tariffs. "Today's action expands the reach of the steel and aluminum tariffs and shuts down avenues for circumvention – supporting the continued revitalization of the American steel and aluminum industries," said Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security Jeffrey Kessler. Tesla says that there is no available US-based alternative to the steel it uses for its motors. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Tesla Probed by US Agency Over Reporting Crashes Months Late
US auto safety regulators are looking into delays by Tesla Inc. in reporting details of crashes involving driver-assistance technology. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has identified multiple incident reports from the automaker that were submitted 'several months or more' after the accidents took place, according to a filing posted to the agency's website. Under an agency order, companies were generally required to file such reports within one or five days of receiving notice of a crash, NHTSA said.

Two Months Into Tesla's Robotaxi Launch: Where Does It Stand Now?
Two months after Tesla TSLA rolled out its first commercial robotaxi service in Austin, the big question is—how's it really going? Tesla CEO Elon Musk bets the company's future on autonomous vehicles, pitching robotaxis as the next growth engine. The launch in Austin on June 22 marked a milestone, with paying customers riding in Model Y vehicles monitored by safety drivers and remote operators. In the initial days of the rollout, videos quickly surfaced showing Tesla vehicles braking abruptly, creeping into intersections, or violating traffic rules. Passengers described some rides as confusing. Having said that, management reassured on the second-quarter earnings call that robotaxis in Austin logged over 7,000 miles without major safety incidents. Tesla has also begun testing in the San Francisco Bay Area—though regulators there prevent it from using the 'robotaxi' name. Notably, in Austin, the safety monitor sits in the passenger seat but in the Bay Area, regulations still require one in the driver's seat. Critics, including former Waymo CEO John Krafcik, argue that as long as Tesla vehicles rely on in-car safety monitors, they're not truly robotaxis at all. Tesla, however, points to data suggesting that its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system is statistically safer—10 times so, according to management—than human drivers. The shift to the FSD Version 12 has already boosted subscription adoption by 45%. Musk is promising even more with Version 14, which he teased yesterday. New vehicles can now drive themselves off the assembly line, with direct-to-customer autonomous deliveries planned by year-end in select regions. Also, Tesla aims to extend the robotaxi service to reach half of the U.S. population by the end of 2025, pending regulatory approvals. It plans to expand to other U.S. cities like Nevada, Arizona and Florida after obtaining necessary permits and approvals. Meanwhile, service coverage in Austin is set to grow more than tenfold. Still, the road ahead isn't without hazards. Lawsuits accusing Tesla of overstating FSD's safety, regulatory hurdles in key markets, and technical hiccups highlight the long journey before Musk's bold vision of a nationwide robotaxi fleet becomes a reality. Plus, Tesla is lagging behind early movers in the robotaxi space like Alphabet's GOOGL Waymo and Baidu BIDU. TSLA's Competitors in the Robotaxi Space Alphabet's Waymo is Tesla's toughest rival in the robotaxi race. Waymo already runs fully driverless Level 4 services in Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin and Atlanta, delivering around 250,000 paid rides every week. Backed by Alphabet's $5 billion multi-year investment and partnerships with Hyundai, Uber and Zeekr, Waymo has both scale and strategic muscle. With expansion underway to cities such as Miami and Washington D.C, Waymo is setting the standard that Tesla must catch up to. Baidu is a major force in the robotaxi industry, though its efforts are concentrated mainly in China. Its autonomous driving program, Apollo Go, is already running fully driverless robotaxi services across 16 cities globally and has completed more than 14 million rides as of August 2025. Baidu is also fast-tracking Apollo Go's global expansion through high-profile partnerships with Uber and Lyft. Investor Takeaway After two months, Tesla's robotaxi push is still in the early innings. The company shows tangible progress and expansion potential but remains behind leaders like Waymo and Baidu. With regulatory battles and skepticism ahead, investing in this vision is less about today's revenues and more about Tesla's ability to eventually deliver on Musk's bold promise.
