MSN - Tesla alleges that Angstrom Automotive has threatened to shut down the plant unless it receives an additional $250,000 per week.

"Angstrom is deliberately exploiting Tesla's attempts to retrieve the Tesla Tooling to exert commercial pressure, effectively holding Tesla's own property for ransom," Tesla said.

The story reads like Tesla fucked up the contract to not assign Tesla ownership of the tooling if the business was sold. Will be interesting to see how it develops.

Cybertruck Called the Biggest Flop in Automotive History, as Tesla Shares Plummet

Link

A Bloomberg report published July 22, 2026 argued the Cybertruck has eclipsed the Ford Edsel as the auto industry's benchmark commercial flop on a target-versus-actual basis.

In its first full year, the truck sold roughly one-sixth of Musk's target. Per Bloomberg's chart, Year 2 sales fell to well under 25,000, a steeper proportional miss than the Edsel's.

Cox Automotive figures show the trajectory. Cybertruck sold 38,965 units in 2024, then 20,237 units in 2025, a 48.1% year-over-year decline. Q4 2025 volume was 4,140 units, down 68.1% from 12,991 a year earlier. Q1 2026 hit a record low of 3,519 deliveries, and only 7,133 Cybertrucks were registered in the U.S. through May 2026, per S&P Global Mobility data cited by Bloomberg.

Tesla's clear language about not litigating other items sure makes it sound like there are other disputes that could be at play there they are trying to jump past. Have to imagine all their truck suppliers are feeling some pain due to low volumes too.

Wish I hadn't seen shirtless Elon so close to bed time.
