Tesla Arcade disabled in Hong Kong due to local restrictions
Tesla is currently rolling out software update 2020.28.6 to its fleet, and it includes several optimizations for its vehicles’ features. Interestingly enough, the update also removes Tesla Arcade from Model S and Model X vehicles in Hong Kong due to local regulations.
The update was related by Tesla in 2020.28.6’s Release Notes. “Due to local regulations, the Tesla Arcade has been removed from your car,” the company noted.
This is not the first time that an in-vehicle feature was disabled for Teslas in Hong Kong. Back in 2014, Model S owners in the country reported that their in-car browsers were disabled following a software update. The reasons behind the feature’s removal did not seem to be disclosed then. In the same light, Tesla has not specified which local regulations in Hong Kong incited the recent removal of Tesla Arcade.
When Tesla disabled the in-car browser for Hong Kong-based Model S cars in 2014, speculations were abounding that the feature may have been considered a potential safety hazard. This potential reason may be tough to argue with regards to the removal of Tesla Arcade, however, since the feature is only accessible when vehicles are on Park.
The same has been true since Tesla Arcade’s earlier days, when it was still dubbed as TeslAtari. When the first Atari games were released for Tesla’s vehicles, the electric car maker made it a point to ensure that the titles could only be accessed when a vehicle is on Park. This makes TeslAtari, and in turn, Tesla Arcade, quite safe to use.
Overall, it is quite disappointing to see Tesla Arcade getting disabled in Hong Kong. This is especially notable considering that Teslas in China actually have a pretty substantial list of in-vehicle games. Some of these titles even support online multiplayer, a feature that is yet to be rolled out to vehicles in other countries. Tesla China is also quite open to gaming partnerships, with the company recently collaborating with popular mobile title Game of Peace.
Elon Musk has stated in the past that he wants Tesla’s vehicles to be the most fun things that customers could buy. Part of this involves fostering a vehicle ownership experience that includes gamification and other in-vehicle entertainment. This has led to Tesla expanding its Arcade titles over the years, from initial classic Atari games to more recent titles like Fallout Shelter.

Tesla (TSLA) Q3 2025 earnings: Wall Street’s reactions
Tesla’s third-quarter 2025 results delivered the highest quarterly revenue in company history, and Wall Street analysts are taking notice.

Tesla’s third-quarter 2025 results delivered record quarterly revenues, and Wall Street is taking notice.
The automaker reported $28.1 billion in revenue, topping estimates of $26.4 billion, while non-GAAP EPS landed at $0.50 versus $0.54 expected. Despite the slight earnings miss, Tesla’s free cash flow surged to nearly $4.0 billion and total cash on hand jumped to $41.6 billion, a new high.
The following are some of Wall Street’s reactions to Tesla’s third-quarter results.
Mizuho
Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh maintained an “Outperform” rating on Tesla and raised the firm’s price target to $485 from $460 per share, pointing to Tesla’s next-generation autonomy roadmap. “We see 2026E better with stronger FSD traction and deliveries. TSLA is focusing on AI5/HW5 with ~40x gains gen/gen, while ramping Robotaxis and FSD into 2026E–27E.”
Rakesh also highlighted that Mizuho sees Tesla as “well-positioned” to lead “physical AI with Cybercab/FSD traction, humanoid longer term, offset by near-term demand headwinds.”
Wedbush
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives reiterated his “Outperform” rating and $600 price target on Tesla. As per the analyst, “Tesla reported its FY3Q25 results featuring beats on the top-line while missing bottom-line expectations as the company benefitted from a pull-forward in its delivery segment with greater strength across EMEA and APAC while making gradual progress with its autonomous and energy businesses.”
He also pointed to Musk’s upcoming compensation vote as a key inflection point: “We believe it will be approved by a wide margin despite some opposition,” Ives noted. “That will be incremental to keeping Musk as a war-time CEO as the company enters a critical AI expansion phase.”
Baird
Baird analyst Ben Kallo reiterated his “Outperform” rating and $548 per share price target for Tesla following the company’s Q3 2025 earnings results. He praised Tesla’s energy segment for delivering record results.
“Energy demand is particularly high given grid constraints in several regions and a rapid build-out of infrastructure. We expect this piece of the business to capture more attention in the remainder of 2025 and moving into 2026 with the tipping points for longer-term initiatives (Optimus, robotaxi, etc.) more opaque,” Kallo noted.
Deepwater
Meanwhile, Deepwater’s Gene Munster struck a more measured tone. “The September numbers and earnings call were largely uneventful,” Munster said, adding that Tesla’s decision to move cautiously with robotaxis in Austin is the right one.
“Shares of TSLA traded down following Elon’s comment that he remains paranoid about the safety of Robotaxi given any accidents would represent a significant step back in terms of the public’s confidence in the fleet,” he wrote. Munster, however, emphasized that Tesla’s cash position is a major strength: “They have enough cash to will Elon’s vision into reality. It may take a lot longer than many expect, but they’ve got the cash to get there.”

Tesla’s massive Q3 update reaffirms it’s not just a car company anymore
From record global deliveries to new AI breakthroughs, Megablock energy tech & next-gen Superchargers, Tesla showed why it’s still miles ahead.

Tesla’s third-quarter update showcased a flurry of milestones across its vehicles, AI, and energy divisions. The company achieved record deliveries and energy storage deployments while launching new products in North America, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific.
Tesla also emphasized its focus on scaling AI-powered autonomy and virtual power plant technology as part of its push towards Master Plan Part IV.
Global product rollouts and record regional performance
Tesla’s Q3 highlights revealed strong traction across multiple continents. In North America, the automaker launched the new Model 3 and Model Y Standard variants, each offering over 300 miles of range and starting below $40,000. The Model Y Performance also debuted, highlighting Tesla’s focus on sheer performance and driving dynamics.
In Europe and the Middle East, Model Y topped sales charts in Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, and Finland while reaching number one in the Netherlands and Denmark in September. Giga Berlin celebrated production of its 100,000th refreshed Model Y, including the first European-built Performance units. Tesla confirmed it’s working toward regulatory approval for its FSD Supervised software in Europe.
Across Asia-Pacific, Tesla introduced the Model YL in China, an extended wheelbase, six-seat version of its best-selling crossover SUV, and achieved record deliveries in South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and Singapore. The company also began Model Y deliveries in India, launched FSD Supervised in Australia and New Zealand, and confirmed South Korea is now its third-largest global market.
AI, charging, and energy divisions
Tesla’s AI division rolled out version 14 of FSD Supervised, integrating key elements of its Robotaxi model and improving responses to complex driving scenarios. The company expanded its Austin Robotaxi fleet and launched a Bay Area ride-hailing pilot while announcing a U.S. semiconductor manufacturing deal with Samsung to boost AI compute capacity.
Tesla also introduced Grok, an AI vehicle companion, alongside new vehicle software like Low Power Mode and Light Sync. The company also introduced minor but notable convenience improvements, such as the ability to order food directly from the vehicle at the Tesla Diner in LA.
Meanwhile, Tesla’s energy business achieved record storage deployments and revealed “Megablock,” a next-generation industrial product built around Megapack 3s, slated for production in Houston by 2026. The Superharger Network grew 18% year-over-year as well, adding over 3,500 Supercharger stalls and debuting V4 cabinets capable of 500 kW passenger charging and up to 1,200 kW for Tesla Semi trucks.

Tesla reveals its plans for Hardware 3 owners who are eager for updates
“We have not completely given up on HW3. These customers are very important. They are early adopters. We will definitely take care of you guys.”

Tesla has finally revealed its plans for Hardware 3 owners who are eager to have access to the latest versions of the company’s Full Self-Driving suite.
Tesla’s Hardware 3 vehicles feature an older chip that does not immediately give access to new versions of the FSD suite. Cars like the new Model Y have Hardware 4, often referred to as AI4, while Tesla is already working to develop AI5 chips with suppliers TSMC and Samsung.
However, during the Q3 Earnings Call on Wednesday, Tesla finally gave some information to those Hardware 3 owners who have been anxiously waiting for updates, and hopefully, this will give them some peace of mind.
The comments came from Chief Financial Officer Vaibhav Taneja, who said that he is also impacted by the HW3 delays because his daily commuter is a HW3 vehicle.
He said:
“We have not completely given up on HW3. These customers are very important. They are early adopters. We will definitely take care of you guys.”
Additionally, Tesla’s Head of AI and Autopilot, Ashok Elluswamy, added that the company plans to offer a v14 Lite version of the Full Self-Driving (Supervised) suite in Q2 of next year.
The company has tried to give HW3 owners more opportunities to trade in their cars for new vehicles, giving them the opportunity to have access to the latest FSD software versions, which are prioritized for HW4 vehicles.
However, it is easier said than done to simply trade in your car and commit to a long-term financial commitment. For this reason, many HW3 owners have grown incredibly frustrated with how Tesla has handled the situation, especially considering they have been told they would be taken care of for several quarters now.
It appears that these owners will be waiting a tad longer for any sort of true progress, unless they have an interest in using the FSD transfer to get a new vehicle without paying for the suite once again.
