Elon Musk has announced that he will be holding company talks for his two biggest businesses, SpaceX and Tesla, next month. The talks will be publicly posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
Musk’s company talks for Tesla and SpaceX were mentioned by the CEO in a post on X. As per Musk, he would be holding SpaceX’s talk next week. Tesla’s session will follow after the electric vehicle maker’s 10-K filing with the US Security and Exchange Commission.
While Musk did not mention a specific date for Tesla’s company talk, a hint may be found in the EV maker’s previous Form 10-K filing for fiscal year 2022, which was filed on January 30, 2023. If Tesla adopts a similar filing schedule this time around, the electric vehicle maker’s company talk may happen around the end of January.
Next week, I will do a company talk for SpaceX, followed later by a company talk for Tesla after the 10K.
I will recap the talented team’s amazing accomplishments of 2023 and describe exciting plans for 2024 and beyond!
These will be posted publicly to @SpaceX and @Tesla.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 29, 2023
Musk provided a general outline of what would be discussed in his talks for SpaceX and Tesla. As per the CEO, he would be recapping the SpaceX and Tesla teams’ accomplishments for 2023, and he would also be describing the companies’ exciting plans for 2024. Other long-term plans will also be discussed.
The company talks for both SpaceX and Tesla will be posted publicly on X. This should allow users of the social media platform to see exactly what the two Musk-led businesses have in store for the near future. Considering SpaceX and Tesla’s lead in their respective segments, their upcoming plans will likely be very compelling.
The SpaceX and Tesla teams definitely deserve a ton of commendation this year, as both companies executed very well despite Elon Musk seemingly allotting a notable portion of his time on X. In social media, at least, it appears that Musk is in no small part focused on stabilizing X and turning it profitable.
Amidst this environment, SpaceX still launched a whopping 96 rockets over the year. It also conducted another test flight of its Starship rocket. Starlink reached 2.3 million customers worldwide as well. Tesla, for its part, rolled out the Model 3 Highland upgrade smoothly in China. The Cybertruck also started its deliveries, and projects like the Optimus Tesla Bot made some serious progress with its Gen 2 iteration.

Tesla Cybercab sightings broaden well outside of Austin with autonomy in focus
Tesla Cybercab sightings are broadening far and wide, well outside of downtown Austin, Texas, with autonomy in focus as the company plans to launch the all-electric, two-seater this evening in the Lone Star State.
Tesla is set to launch Cybercab to a small group of people this evening in a dedicated event in Austin, Texas. Public details on the event are relatively slim.
However, Tesla’s focus on Cybercab falls well outside of the downtown Austin area and is expanding well across the United States as things continue to move quickly with the company’s autonomous efforts in 2026. Today, various images of Cybercab fleets in interesting locations have started to circulate.
The most notable is a fleet of at least 20 Cybercabs at Miami International Airport in Florida. Spotted last night, the fleet is expansive and is indicative of a looming release of Cybercabs once regulatory boxes are checked off.
Tesla has already been operating the Robotaxi platform in Miami for several months, but this Cybercab fleet at the airport could be joining the ride-hailing platform as approvals arrive:

Another fleet of Cybercabs was spotted at the Devon, PA showroom just outside of Philadelphia. We have seen several Cybercab units testing around the Philadelphia Metro Area, which is interesting considering Tesla does not have any active Robotaxi geofence in Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia would be an ideal location to test ride-hailing due to its dense tourist population, large, sprawling city layout, and to compete with other ride-hailing companies that operate in the city.
Expansive fleets of Cybercabs will be popping up in and around major cities throughout the rest of the year, if we were betting on it. Tesla has made it obvious that the Cybercab rollout will be aggressive and fast-paced, but within reason. Tesla is still prioritizing safety, so these testing phases will likely go on for some period of time before more members of the public are able to snag a Cybercab for a personal chariot.

Tesla Model Y L gets suspension complaints in over odd issue China
The Tesla Model Y L is arguably the most hyped trim of the all-electric crossover, other than the Performance configuration that comes with white-knuckle speed and sports car-level handling.
However, it is not all perfect. Tesla owners in China who took delivery of the Model Y L, denoted with an L to highlight its longer wheelbase, are experiencing what they are referring to as “collapsing” of the rear wheels, as suspension issues appear to be an issue with some of the builds.
🚨 Model Y L owners in China report rear suspension sag
• Six-seat long-wheelbase Y. Shanghai. On sale since August 2025
• Owners say the rear tire-to-arch gap shrinks after mileage or a full load. Some cases after about 9,000 km loaded. Others near 30,000 km
• Tesla service… pic.twitter.com/Lr6i5Tbi07— Joe Hansen (@joehansen) September 1, 2026
The gap between the wheel arch and tire has narrowed to the point that “not even a single finger” could fit, according to a report from Car News China. The failures are not tied to a specific mileage, as one owner said that after just 9,000 kilometers (5,600 miles), they noticed the suspension issue when their car was fully loaded.
Another one had the issue at 30,000 kilometers (18,640 miles) and noticed that the wheel gap shrank to two fingers, so not as drastic as the person who reported a similar issue at 9,000 km.
Tesla Model Y L is gaining momentum in China’s premium segment
Along with the visual recognition of the issue, others are saying the sagging is causing abnormal wear on the inside of the tires. Extra weight and instant torque already provide additional stress on the tires in electric vehicles during normal operation, so it is no surprise that this is another complaint.
There has been no recall issued by Tesla, and the company has not yet publicly acknowledged the issue.
Some are suggesting that owners use a “finger test” to self-diagnose whether there is an issue with the suspension. There should be four fingers between the tire and the wheel well; anything less than that starts to get dicey.

Tesla Cybercab event gains steam ahead of massive launch
Tesla is starting to truly tease and hype its groundbreaking Cybercab event, which takes place tomorrow in Austin, Texas. It will be the first time members of the public will be able to ride in a Cybercab, a vehicle without any manual controls, on public roads.
Tesla has been dropping some hype on X over the past several days, but this morning, the excitement has truly started to build up for the event. Although Cybercab has been unveiled before, this is truly Tesla’s announcement that it is ready to start offering autonomous rides for public passengers in its new ride-hailing-geared vehicle for the first time.
The hype has started with a variety of different social media posts that are a true indication that Tesla is preparing for something big. Teasing so much of the potential of Cybercab, including its ability to truly revolutionize how people hail rides for local travel, is what the big idea for the event entails. The time that many Tesla owners, fans, and investors have been waiting for is potentially here:

The event has remained slim on details. Even invitees are still awaiting true details about what the event will entail, where they’ll go, and what is in store for the evening. This is pretty typical for an event run by Tesla; they keep things under wraps for the most part until the very last minute.
However, there is no secret about what the real intention of Tesla is for this event: it is going to be a huge reveal party for a vehicle that has no steering wheel and no pedals. It is a truly massive step for the company moving forward.

— Tesla Robotaxi (@robotaxi) September 2, 2026
Speculation persists as to whether this is going to be an event that simply announces that rides will begin with the Cybercab, or it will be something more substantial. Tesla has said in the past that they plan to sell the Cybercab to the general public in what could become a great way to earn passive income by adding it to a more global fleet of Robotaxi-geared vehicles.
Tomorrow, the show begins in Austin, and the Cybercab goes live at some capacity; we just don’t know exactly how quite yet.
