Tesla recalls almost all Cybertrucks due to issue with glue: Where to service in Oklahoma
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's recall warns users of 46,096 vehicles that the exterior panel that runs alongside the left and right side of the windshield could detach from the vehicle during operation. This marks the eighth recall on Cybertrucks in the last 15 months.
This stainless-steel panel, or the cant rail assembly, is attached to the vehicle with fasteners. On affected vehicles, the cant rail may 'delaminate at the adhesive joint,' which could cause the panel to separate from the car.
If the cant rail separates from the vehicle while driving, it could 'create a road hazard for following motorists and increase their risk of injury or a collision.'
You can tell the rail has separated if you hear a noise inside the cabin, as it may create some sound when coming loose.
Tesla will replace the panel free of charge to users, according to Tesla. You can check if your vehicle is recalled on the Tesla website by using your VIN.
If you need your Tesla vehicle serviced during a recall, you are asked to take it to local Tesla Service Centers rather than a mechanic. You should also be notified through the Tesla app if your vehicle needs servicing.
Oklahoma has two service centers, one in Oklahoma City and one in Tulsa.
Tesla Service Oklahoma City is located at 1125 N Broadway Ave. and can contact them at (405) 803-6557.
Tesla Service Tulsa is located at 6010 S 129 E Ave. and can be contacted at (918) 505-6015.

Ford Missing from 2024 American-Made Vehicles Top 20 Ranking
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious Ford fails to place in 2024 American-Made Index, highlighting shifting supply chains and Tesla's dominance in U.S. manufacturing rankings. Ford Motor Co. failed to place a single model in the top 20 of the 2024 American-Made Index, a ranking compiled annually by to highlight vehicles with the highest domestic manufacturing content. The list, marking its 20th anniversary this year, arrives at a time when U.S. manufacturing and supply chains are under heightened scrutiny. uses a five-factor methodology that considers final assembly location, origin of the engine and transmission, percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts, and the direct American workforce involved in production. Tesla dominated the upper tier, with all four of its current models — the Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X — claiming the top four spots. Stellantis placed two vehicles in the ranking: the Jeep Gladiator at No. 5 and the Jeep Wrangler at No. 13, both built in Toledo, Ohio. General Motors had just one entry, the Chevrolet Colorado pickup, assembled in Wentzville, Missouri, at No. 19. Ford's absence is notable given its position as one of the 'Big Three' U.S. automakers alongside GM and Stellantis. While the company builds several vehicles domestically, none met the index's criteria strongly enough to make the cut this year. analysts say the results underscore the complexity of modern automotive manufacturing, where even brands with deep U.S. roots rely heavily on global supply chains. Vehicles assembled domestically may still fall short on domestic-parts content or engine and transmission sourcing, which weigh heavily in the rankings. The report also serves as a reminder that a vehicle's badge is not always the best indicator of its economic footprint. As automakers navigate shifting supply lines, consumer interest in buying 'American-made' continues to be balanced by the realities of global production. Sign in to access your portfolio

Veteran analyst says Tesla Stock's breakout rides on one key level
Veteran analyst says Tesla Stock's breakout rides on one key level originally appeared on TheStreet. Popular Fundstrat technical strategist Mark Newton feels Tesla's next big move hinges on a single chart line. According to him, Tesla () stock's chart is flashing a make-or-break signal, a level that's likely to determine where it ends up, at least in the near term. It's all about whether the bulls keep control or cede the upper hand to the bears, who've been the louder of the two this year. Momentum has been improving of late, but Newton's read is mostly straightforward. 💵💰💰💵 He feels that if investors respect this threshold, it opens the door for substantial upside potential, but if they fail, the trend risks rolling over. No matter which side you're on, that key level is worth watching closely this week. Falling deliveries and margin squeeze define Tesla's 2025 so far The first half of 2025 for Tesla has been mostly about dropping delivery numbers and dwindling profitability, pressuring its core automotive business. In Q1, deliveries dropped roughly 13% year over year, the steepest fall in roughly three years. A big part of that is Tesla navigating an aging car lineup, the Model Y plant overhaul, and a consumer backlash tied to Elon Musk's political decline got even worse in Q2, with global deliveries tanking 13.5% year over year, missing Street forecasts by a wide margin. Weakness in Europe and growing competition in China were major drags. Margins took a hit as well. Operating income plummeted a massive 42% from a year earlier, on the back of price cuts and incentives squeezing its bottom line compared with prior periods. On top of that, July registrations across major European markets were mostly soft, linked to ongoing regulatory hiccups and rival model launches, making things even more complicated. The net effect is that Tesla's near-term growth story has moved away from volume gains and is more about its potential long-term breakthroughs in autonomy and ride-hailing. Fundstrat's Newton: Tesla breakout hinges on $338 level Tesla shares are at the cusp of a critical chart point, according to Fundstrat technical strategist Mark Newton. His setup is simple. A daily close above the $338 mark will potentially open the door toward $368, while $300 remains a critical medium-term support level. At this point, Tesla stock is now trading near the $339 mark, which is just above Newton's breakout trigger. The question remains of whether it can hold that gain into the close and turn $338 from resistance into to Newton, if buyers effectively defend the level, the path to $368 is technically clear. Momentum levels have improved, and clean breakouts typically garner trend-following traders and short-covering from those bearish on the stock's moves. Typically, the first move following a key breakout is a retest of the pivot. That's basically a snapback toward $338, which effectively stabilizes and is constructive. For risk management, Newton feels that $300 is the 'line in the sand' for bulls. A decisive drop below that level may indicate that the rally is mostly just corrective rather than the start of a move higher. The bottom line is that a close above $338 keeps $368 in play. A snapback would argue for greater patience, with brighter buying spots closer to $338 on a successful retest or down near $300 if we see stronger momentum. Tesla's Texas Robotaxi license fuels stock pop Tesla stock is up almost 10% this week, and that rally has everything to do with Tesla's tangible steps in advancing its Robotaxi ambitions, along with encouraging demand signals. The headline move is Texas officially listing Tesla Robotaxi LLC as a Transportation Network Company (TNC). To put it simply, Tesla now has the legal right to operate a ride-hailing service statewide, just like Uber or Lyft. At the same time, it's working towards getting separate approvals for a fully driverless service. More News: Tesla just got its biggest break yet in the robotaxi wars with a key permit Bank of America drops shocking price target on hot weight-loss stock post-earnings JPMorgan drops 3-word verdict on Amazon stock post-earnings Under Texas's new SB 2807 framework, effective Sept. 1, fully autonomous operations need an additional DMV sign-off beyond the TNC license. In short, Tesla has the go-ahead for a driver-based rideshare network at this point, but also has a clear regulatory lane to scale automation later. On top of that, there's a small bump in demand for optics. Reports suggest that Model Y wait times have stretched to four to six weeks, a stark reversal from earlier in the summer. Though that metric isn't exactly gospel, longer waits initiate at tightening near-term deliveries. Taken together, the narrative for Tesla seems a lot cleaner. Tesla could potentially monetize ride-hailing sooner while working toward full autonomy, delivering the Robotaxi service as advertised over the past several analyst says Tesla Stock's breakout rides on one key level first appeared on TheStreet on Aug 12, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Aug 12, 2025, where it first appeared.

Driverless cars hit a regulator gap
For Silicon Valley, the promise of the second Trump administration is that it would cull all those pesky bureaucrats impeding innovation. But sometimes, a new industry needs bureaucrats to cut red tape. The autonomous vehicle industry could soon face this catch-22. As driverless cars continue to roll out in American cities, AV companies need the help of federal regulators to deal with the landscape of safety rules. Yet my colleague Pavan Acharya reported last week that the Transportation Department's Office of Automation Safety, which helps regulate AVs, is on the verge of becoming a ghost town. The Republican-led Senate Appropriations Committee noted in a report that the office had 'lost almost all of its staff,' and encouraged the department to prioritize hiring. Silicon Valley has generally pooh-poohed regulators as getting in the way of both moving fast and breaking things. However, it's regulators who are trying to work around policies designed for analog cars, so that AVs can start operating legally within the federal highway rulebook. '[The Transportation Department] is taking away existing regulations that would stand in the way of autonomous vehicles,' said Ryan Calo, a University of Washington law professor who specializes in tech policy. 'They're trying to figure out how to revise their own code so that this is possible. Reducing personnel is just stupid.' The Trump administration has been going all out on kneecapping the bureaucratic state, cutting tens of thousands of people from the federal workforce. Tesla CEO Elon Musk's DOGE is central to these efforts, and the tech industry has cheered it on. In fact, Musk is apparently responsible for the exodus of AV regulators. The Financial Times reported in April that DOGE had dismissed about 30 people from DOT's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, many of whom were employed at its Office of Automation Safety. NHTSA has been a cloud over Musk's dream of deploying fully self-driving Teslas, recalling 2 million of its vehicles in 2023 for issues with its autopilot feature. The FT reports that Musk felt regulators were being unfair, though there were also concerns within Tesla that gutting the automation safety office could backfire. (Tesla did not respond to DFD's inquiry.) Those concerns may be merited. The Biden administration launched the safety office in 2023 specifically to help the AV industry overcome regulatory hurdles. It fields petitions from manufacturers for exemptions to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, which sets performance and design requirements for cars operating in the U.S. The industry has long complained that the Transportation Department has been slow to process the petitions. 'It takes a lot of people to work through [exemption petitions] point-by-point,' said Philip Koopman, a Carnegie Mellon professor who has been the architect of industry safety standards for AVs. 'It's just labor intensive.' He cautioned, however, that the department could simply relax the exemption standards to the extent that you'd need just enough staff to press a rubber stamp. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has already broadened exemptions to cover a wider range of AVs. The department just issued its first exemption under the expanded standards last week for Zoox, Amazon's robotaxi subsidiary – but the company is only allowed to test the vehicles. Getting an exemption to sell AVs or charge consumers for their services is a more rigorous process, though Duffy is working to streamline that too. When DFD asked about the Senate appropriations report, NHTSA said in a statement that it has 'aligned resources accordingly, including staff, to add engineers to the Office of Automation Safety.' Another reason why the industry might want the automation safety office to be staffed is that it could help clarify rules around AVs. With the advent self-driving cars, companies face a conundrum when it comes to state versus federal laws. The current paradigm generally has the federal government setting nationwide standards for vehicles themselves. States then determine whether someone is qualified to operate those vehicles by issuing driver's licenses and operating permits. (My colleague Christine Mui recently reported on Tesla's troubles with California permitting.) That regulatory divide gets fuzzier with AVs, especially for interstate travel, since the vehicle's AI becomes the driver. 'The design and construction of an autonomous vehicle, and driver competency is intertwined,' said Michael Brooks, executive director at the Center for Auto Safety. 'You can't really separate it into the traditional areas.' So when companies deploy a federally approved AV for a cross-country road trip, they don't necessarily know whether they're violating a patchwork of state laws. Congress could resolve the ambiguity by passing legislation that empowers the Transportation Department to override state laws, according to Brooks, but there doesn't seem to be much progress on that front. In the meantime, having more federal automation safety staff could help the department proliferate nationwide regulations in a bid to assert its authority over the states. That would give AV companies a bit more legal certainty. To be sure, staffing up the automation safety office wouldn't necessarily be a clear-cut benefit for the self-driving car industry. More regulators in general could mean more requests for data that companies would consider to be trade secrets, and more meticulous investigations of product defects. But looking past the immediate policy barriers, having enough regulators to make sure that AVs are actually safe benefits all parties involved. 'If a driverless car is involved in an accident, people are going to get nervous about them,' said Calo. 'They need a trusted expert body that's impartial, like the Department of Transportation, to be able to look at those situations in a sober ride way and determine [...] what to do about it.' STATE DEPARTMENT GETS INTO THE ONLINE SPEECH ARGUMENT The GOP campaign against social-media moderation has trickled into formal American diplomacy: The Trump administration is now saying human rights in the United Kingdom 'worsened' in 2024 due to speech restrictions, particularly those online, POLITICO's Mizy Clifton reports. The State Department on Wednesday released its annual assessment of countries' human rights practices in which it criticized the U.K. for chilling speech on social media surrounding incidents like the 2024 stabbing of three children in Southport last year. The report also targeted the country's Online Safety Act that rolled out last month, which requires platforms to verify users' ages in an attempt to prevent children from seeing violent or sexual content. The department suggested that the act could lead to 'government regulation to reduce or eliminate effective encryption (and therefore user privacy) on platforms.' The safety act has already drawn criticism for age-gating certain content, such as posts on X about violence in Gaza or Reddit content on cigars. (Wikipedia also lost a case on Monday challenging the act's identity verification rules.) A congressional free speech delegation traveled to meet with U.K. officials about the act late last month. Sen. Ted Cruz pushes for AI sandboxes Senate Commerce Chair Ted Cruz wants to spur the development of artificial intelligence by exempting the tech from existing regulations, according to details of a draft bill shared with POLITICO's Benjamin Guggenheim and Anthony Adragna. The bill would allow federal agencies to grant temporary waivers on their rules for companies to pilot AI systems. States have previously granted such exemptions for therapy chatbots and diagnostic tools that use the technology — an idea that tech companies love, but which critics say has some real flaws in practice. Cruz prefers a light-touch approach to AI regulation. He was one of the main advocates for including a 10-year state AI law moratorium in the Big Beautiful Bill this summer, though the provision was dropped amid Republican infighting. Cruz's new legislation dovetails with President Donald Trump's call for regulatory sandboxes in his AI Action Plan to 'rapidly deploy and test AI tools.' post of the day THE FUTURE IN 5 LINKS Stay in touch with the whole team: Aaron Mak (amak@ Mohar Chatterjee (mchatterjee@ Steve Heuser (sheuser@ Nate Robson (nrobson@ and Daniella Cheslow (dcheslow@
