Update: 11:21 a.m. E.T. 10/7: Tesla has removed all “Coming Soon” locations on its website. The leak has been neutralized.
Update: 11:54 a.m. E.T.: Updated hL and added detail to paragraph 4. Locations were leaked globally and not just in the U.S. and Canada.
Tesla has apparently leaked the locations of planned Supercharger projects across the world, as the company’s “Find Us” page on its website has been swarmed with locations that are “Coming Soon.”
Initially found by @MarcoRPTesla, who is widely considered one of the most reliable Supercharger project locators on Twitter, and @cyrus_ott, the United States Supercharger page, in fact, does have 347 locations that are listed as “Coming Soon.”
Additionally, Tesla’s Supercharger locator for Canada also has 59 locations that are listed as “Coming Soon.”
If anyone’s wondering what’s going on right now and why I’m so excited, it seems that Tesla has accidentally leaked addresses for virtually ALL future Superchargers in their Find Us lists (confirmed in the US and Canada). @SawyerMerritt @Tesla @elonmuskhttps://t.co/Q1swxs2RLG

Additionally, it appears the locations are also available in Australia and Europe.

Apparently the future addresses have been released for the US & Canada too. @MarcoRPTesla is tweeting about it and thinks the release may be a mistake. I’m sure he will get to the bottom of this. Follow him for supercharger news. ?????????? https://t.co/fVQLTGr0BE

It is unclear if Tesla meant to do this or if this was an accidental leak. Nevertheless, be sure to check out some of the new locations that may be coming to your area. It appears my state of Pennsylvania will be receiving three new Supercharger projects, that is, if this lists all of the planned construction sites.
Tesla has been expanding its Supercharger infrastructure since ramping up production of its electric vehicles following the release of the Model S in 2012. While Tesla operates the majority of its 35,000+ Supercharger piles in the United States, the automaker has worked to make its infrastructure more available as it has more vehicles on the road.
Recently, Tesla celebrated opening its 10,000th Supercharger in the European market.
It would make sense for Tesla to reveal the locations of Supercharger projects that have been proposed and approved by local governments. It could help Tesla increase sales, especially if residents in an area do not have Supercharger within a reasonable distance. If Tesla reveals some of the locations to potential consumers, it may help drive consumers to purchase a Tesla over other electric vehicles.
Additionally, Tesla could launch a non-Tesla Supercharging pilot program in the United States this year, which could be another reason for the leak of all planned locations. Tesla’s company mission has always been to “Accelerate the Transition to Sustainable Energy.” Perhaps the skeptics of the EV transition, who are not convinced it is viable due to a lack of EV chargers in their area, could have their minds changed by the influx of Supercharger locations that Tesla is planning to build.
Of course, Tesla is not the only company building EV chargers. Third-party companies like Electrify America have partnerships with other brands and have been crucial in expanding the total market share of EVs in the United States, Canada, and other regions.
Tesla is also planning to let owners choose new Supercharger locations via a polling system, so revealing where the automaker already has plans to build chargers could expedite the voting process.

Tesla analyst Gary Black of The Future Fund claims that the company is making a big mistake getting rid of the Model S and Model X. Instead, he believes another vehicle within the company’s lineup should be discontinued: the Cybertruck.
Black divested The Future Fund from all Tesla holdings last year, but he still covers the stock as an analyst as it falls in the technology and autonomy sectors, which he covers.
In a new comment on Thursday, Black said the Cybertruck should be the vehicle Tesla gets rid of due to the negatives it has drawn to the company.
The Cybertruck is also selling in an underwhelming fashion considering the production capacity Tesla has set aside for it. It’s worth noting it is still the best-selling electric pickup on the market, and it has outlasted other EV truck projects as other manufacturers are receding their efforts.
Black said:
“IMHO it’s a mistake to keep Tesla Cybertruck which has negative brand equity and sold 10,000 units last year, and discontinue S/X which have strong repeat brand loyalty and together sold 30K units and are highly profitable. Why not discontinue CT and covert S/X to be fully autonomous?”

On Wednesday, CEO Elon Musk confirmed that Tesla planned to transition Model S and Model X production lines at the Fremont Factory to handle manufacturing efforts of the Optimus Gen 3 robot.
Musk said that it was time to wind down the S and X programs “with an honorable discharge,” also noting that the two cars are not major contributors to Tesla’s mission any longer, as its automotive division is more focused on autonomy, which will be handled by Model 3, Model Y, and Cybercab.
Tesla begins Cybertruck deliveries in a new region for the first time
The news has drawn conflicting perspectives, with many Tesla fans upset about the decision, especially as it ends the production of the largest car in the company’s lineup. Tesla’s focus is on smaller ride-sharing vehicles, especially as the vast majority of rides consist of two or fewer passengers.
The S and X do not fit in these plans.
Nevertheless, the Cybertruck fits in Tesla’s future plans. Musk said the pickup will be needed for the transportation of local goods. Musk also said Cybertruck would be transitioned to an autonomous line.
In a groundbreaking new report from Reuters, SpaceX is reportedly discussing merger possibilities with xAI ahead of the space exploration company’s plans to IPO later this year, in what would be a blockbuster move.
The outlet said it would combine rockets and Starlink satellites, as well as the X social media platform and AI project Grok under one roof. The report cites “a person briefed on the matter and two recent company filings seen by Reuters.”
Musk, nor SpaceX or xAI, have commented on the report, so, as of now, it is unconfirmed.
With that being said, the proposed merger would bring shares of xAI in exchange for shares of SpaceX. Both companies were registered in Nevada to expedite the transaction, according to the report.
On January 21, both entities were registered in Nevada. The report continues:
“One of them, a limited liability company, lists SpaceX and Bret Johnsen, the company’s chief financial officer, as managing members, while the other lists Johnsen as the company’s only officer, the filings show.”
The source also stated that some xAI executives could be given the option to receive cash in lieu of SpaceX stock. No agreement has been reached, nothing has been signed, and the timing and structure, as well as other important details, have not been finalized.
SpaceX is valued at $800 billion and is the most valuable privately held company, while xAI is valued at $230 billion as of November. SpaceX could be going public later this year, as Musk has said as recently as December that the company would offer its stock publicly.
The plans could help move along plans for large-scale data centers in space, something Musk has discussed on several occasions over the past few months.
At the World Economic Forum last week, Musk said:
“It’s a no-brainer for building solar-powered AI data centers in space, because as I mentioned, it’s also very cold in space. The net effect is that the lowest cost place to put AI will be space and that will be true within two to three years, three at the latest.”
He also said on X that “the most important thing in the next 3-4 years is data centers in space.”
If the report is true and the two companies end up coming together, it would not be the first time Musk’s companies have ended up coming together. He used Tesla stock to purchase SolarCity back in 2016. Last year, X became part of xAI in a share swap.
Tesla has announced it has hit a major milestone with Full Self-Driving subscriptions, shortly after it said it would exclusively offer the suite without the option to purchase it outright.
Tesla announced on Wednesday during its Q4 Earnings Call for 2025 that it had officially eclipsed the one million subscription mark for its Full Self-Driving suite. This represented a 38 percent increase year-over-year.
This is up from the roughly 800,000 active subscriptions it reported last year. The company has seen significant increases in FSD adoption over the past few years, as in 2021, it reported just 400,000. In 2022, it was up to 500,000 and, one year later, it had eclipsed 600,000.
NEWS: For the first time, Tesla has revealed how many people are subscribed or have purchased FSD (Supervised).
Active FSD Subscriptions:
• 2025: 1.1 million
• 2024: 800K
• 2023: 600K
• 2022: 500K
• 2021: 400K pic.twitter.com/KVtnyANWcs— Sawyer Merritt (@SawyerMerritt) January 28, 2026
In mid-January, CEO Elon Musk announced that the company would transition away from giving the option to purchase the Full Self-Driving suite outright, opting for the subscription program exclusively.
Musk said on X:
“Tesla will stop selling FSD after Feb 14. FSD will only be available as a monthly subscription thereafter.”
The move intends to streamline the Full Self-Driving purchase option, and gives Tesla more control over its revenue, and closes off the ability to buy it outright for a bargain when Musk has said its value could be close to $100,000 when it reaches full autonomy.
It also caters to Musk’s newest compensation package. One tranche requires Tesla to achieve 10 million active FSD subscriptions, and now that it has reached one million, it is already seeing some growth.
The strategy that Tesla will use to achieve this lofty goal is still under wraps. The most ideal solution would be to offer a less expensive version of the suite, which is not likely considering the company is increasing its capabilities, and it is becoming more robust.
Tesla is shifting FSD to a subscription-only model, confirms Elon Musk
Currently, Tesla’s FSD subscription price is $99 per month, but Musk said this price will increase, which seems counterintuitive to its goal of increasing the take rate. With that being said, it will be interesting to see what Tesla does to navigate growth while offering a robust FSD suite.
