Tesla Semi spotted in Supercharger between mysterious Lathrop facility and Fremont factory
Tesla’s eye-catching red Semi prototype was recently sighted paying a visit to a Supercharger located between the company’s mysterious Lathrop facility and its main factory in Fremont, CA. Similar to other sightings of the vehicle, the all-electric truck seemed to have attracted attention from Tesla enthusiasts in the area.
Tesla enthusiast John Grinley was staying at a hotel in Dublin, CA this past Saturday when he decided to stop by a nearby Tesla store so he could test drive a Model 3. While spending some time at the location, the aspiring Model 3 owner was asked by the staff if he would like to stay a little longer to see the Tesla Semi in person. Not wanting to miss the opportunity, Grinley opted to wait.
Just as hinted at by the store’s staff, the Tesla Semi did arrive at the Dublin Store, parking itself at a Supercharger. Grinley, together with around 10-15 people who were at the store for test drives, were treated to a rare, up-close look at the all-electric long hauler. The enthusiast was able to capture a couple of photos, as well as a video of the vehicle parking at a charging spot.
Tesla has stated it would be using the Semi for its own operations, and if sightings of the vehicle are any indication, this does appear to be the case. This is one of the reasons why several Semi sightings have been in areas that are close to or en route to a key Tesla location. Dublin, for example, lies between Tesla’s Fremont, CA factory and the electric car maker’s massive, mysterious Lathrop facility, which is currently under construction.
Tesla has been incredibly secretive about the nature of the Lathrop site, though speculations have suggested that the location could be utilized either as a parts distribution center, or even a site for the production of the Semi. Recent photos taken inside the massive facility, for one, show some remarkable similarities with the interior of Gigafactory 3 in China, which, of course, is intended for electric vehicle production.
Tesla has been road-testing the Semi since it was unveiled almost two years ago. Since then, both Semi prototypes have been sighted in multiple parts of the country. At times, the vehicles were spotted bobtailing (traveling without a trailer attached), while at other times, the all-electric trucks were seen pulling a trailer. More recently, the red-wrapped Semi prototype has been seen pulling a trailer filled with concrete weights, as could be seen in the recent sighting above.
Just like Tesla’s existing lineup of vehicles, the Semi is expected to have the potential to disrupt the highly-lucrative trucking market. Thanks to its four Model 3-derived electric motors, the Tesla Semi boasts a lot of power and torque, allowing the vehicle to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5 seconds flat without a trailer. With a full load, the Semi is still capable of reaching highway speeds in around 20 seconds. This acceleration could be seen in several sightings involving the vehicle, proving that when it starts getting released, the Semi would likely outrun its fossil fuel counterparts on a regular basis.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang regrets not investing more in Elon Musk’s xAI
The CEO stated that Nvidia is already an investor in xAI, but he wished he had given the artificial intelligence startup more money.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revealed that one of his investment regrets is not putting more money into Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, xAI.
Speaking in a CNBC interview, Huang said Nvidia is already an investor in xAI but wished he had given the artificial intelligence startup more money. This was due to Musk’s record of building transformative companies such as Tesla and SpaceX.
A new wave of transformative AI firms
Huang said he’s very excited about xAI’s latest financing round. He described Musk’s company as part of a powerful new generation of AI developers, alongside OpenAI and Anthropic. that are reshaping the computing landscape.
“I’m super excited about the financing opportunity they’re doing. The only regret I have about xAI, we’re an investor already, is that I didn’t give him more money. You know almost everything that Elon’s pat of, you really want to be part of as well,” the Nvidia CEO stated.
The CEO also clarified Nvidia’s investment in xAI, revealing that Elon Musk had offered the investment opportunity to the chipmaker. “He (Musk) gave us the opportunity to invest in xAI. I’m just delighted by that,” Huang stated.
AI investment boom
Huang contrasted today’s AI-driven economy with the early days of the internet. “Back then, all the internet companies combined were maybe $30 or $40 billion in size,” he said. “If you look at the hyperscalers now, that’s about $2.5 trillion of business already operating today.”
He also stated that the ongoing shift from CPU-based computing to GPU-powered generative AI represents a “multi-trillion-dollar buildout” that Nvidia is looking to support. Huang added that every Nvidia engineer now works with AI coding assistants such as Cursor, which he called his “favorite enterprise AI service,” and it has led to a major productivity boost across the company.

Stifel raises Tesla price target by 9.8% over FSD, Robotaxi advancements
Stifel also maintained a “Buy” rating for the electric vehicle maker.

Investment firm Stifel has raised its price target for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares to $483 from $440 over increased confidence in the company’s self-driving and Robotaxi programs. The new price target suggests an 11.5% upside from Tesla’s closing price on Tuesday.
Stifel also maintained a “Buy” rating despite acknowledging that Tesla’s timeline for fully unsupervised driving may be ambitious.
Building confidence
In a note to clients, Stifel stated that it believes “Tesla is making progress with modest advancements in its Robotaxi network and FSD,” as noted in a report from Investing.com. The firm expects unsupervised FSD to become available for personal use in the U.S. by the end of 2025, with a wider ride-hailing rollout potentially covering half of the U.S. population by year-end.
Stifel also noted that Tesla’s Robotaxi fleet could expand from “tiny to gigantic” within a short time frame, possibly making a material financial impact to the company by late 2026. The firm views Tesla’s vision-based approach to autonomy as central to this long-term growth, suggesting that continued advancements could unlock new revenue streams across both consumer and mobility sectors.
Tesla’s FSD goals still ambitious
While Stifel’s tone remains optimistic, the firm’s analysts acknowledged that Tesla’s aggressive autonomy timeline may face execution challenges. The note described the 2025 unsupervised FSD target as “a stretch,” though still achievable in the medium term.
“We believe Tesla is making progress with modest advancements in its Robotaxi network and FSD. The company has high expectations for its camera-based approach including; 1) Unsupervised FSD to be available for personal use in the United States by year-end 2025, which appears to be a stretch but seems more likely in the medium term; 2) that it will ‘probably have ride hailing in probably half of the populations of the U.S. by the end of the year’,” the firm noted.

Tesla Cybertruck gets Full Self-Driving v14 release date, sort of

Tesla Cybertruck owners are wondering when they will get access to the company’s Full Self-Driving version 14.1 that rolled out to other owners today for the first time.
Cybertruck owners typically receive Full Self-Driving updates slightly later than other drivers, as the process for the all-electric pickup is different. It is a larger vehicle that requires some additional attention from Tesla before FSD versions are rolled out, so they will be slightly delayed. CEO Elon Musk said the all-wheel steering technically requires a bit more attention before rollout as well.

After some owners got access to the v14.1 Full Self-Driving suite this morning, Cybertruck owners sought out a potential timeframe for when they would be able to experience things for themselves.
Tesla owners show off improvements with new Full Self-Driving v14 rollout
They were able to get an answer from Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla’s Head of AI, who said:
“We got you. Coming soon.”
We got you. Coming soon.
— Ashok Elluswamy (@aelluswamy) October 7, 2025
The release of FSD v14.1 for Cybertruck will not be tempered, either. Elluswamy then confirmed that Tesla would be rolling out the full-featured FSD v14 for the pickup, meaning it would be able to reverse and park itself, among other features.
Elluswamy said it would be capable of these features, which were void in other FSD releases for Cybertruck in the past.
Tesla’s rollout of FSD v14.1 brings several extremely notable changes and improvements to the suite, including more refined operation in parking garages, a new ability to choose parking preferences upon arriving at your destination, a new driving mode called “Sloth,” which is even more reserved than “Chill,” and general operational improvements.
Those who were lucky enough to receive the suite have already started showing off the improvements, and they definitely seem to be a step up from what v13’s more recent versions were capable of.
CEO Elon Musk called v14 “sentient” a few weeks back, and it seems that it is moving toward that. However, he did state that additional releases with more capabilities would be available in the coming weeks, but many owners are still waiting for this first version.
