Tesla makes Signature Edition buyers sign no-resale agreement with $50,000 penalty
Tesla is requiring buyers of its limited Signature Edition Model S and Model X to sign a “No Resale Agreement” that threatens $50,000 in liquidated damages, or the full resale value, whichever is greater, if they flip the vehicle within the first year.
An invited buyer shared the agreement with Electrek, revealing that Tesla is reviving the same anti-flipping strategy it tried and ultimately abandoned with the Cybertruck back in 2023-2024.
Tesla Cybertruck sales inflated: SpaceX bought 1,279 units
New registration data confirms what Electrek has been reporting for six months: Tesla’s Cybertruck sales are being propped up by Elon Musk’s other companies. SpaceX alone bought 1,279 Cybertrucks in Q4 2025 — 18% of every Cybertruck registered in the US that quarter.
Without those inter-company purchases, Cybertruck registrations would have fallen 51% year-over-year instead of the numbers Tesla reported.
This may be the most affordable new electric cargo bike yet
Cargo e-bikes have quickly become one of the most practical segments of the electric bicycle world, offering car-replacing utility at a fraction of the cost of owning and operating a vehicle. But while they’re cheaper than cars, they’re still not exactly cheap.
Most decent cargo e-bikes tend to start around $1,500 and can easily climb past $4,000 or more, especially when including higher end components, larger batteries, and from brand names known for longer-lasting bikes. So with cargo e-bikes nearly always costing well into the four digits, an unassuming entrant from Buzz Bikes now seems particularly eye-catching, with the company touting its affordable Beekeeper cargo e-bike at a shockingly low price of just US $799.
Ford dissolves EV unit, Doug Field out as Farley chases 8% margin
Ford is dissolving its standalone electric vehicle division — and losing the executive who built it. The automaker said today that Doug Field, its chief EV, digital, and design officer, will leave the company next month after nearly five years leading Ford’s push into software-defined EVs.
In his place, Ford isn’t bringing in another Silicon Valley hire. It’s folding the EV, digital, and design group into its global manufacturing operations under COO Kumar Galhotra, in a new unit called Product Creation and Industrialization.

Tesla ‘Full Self-Driving’ crashed through railroad gate seconds before train
A Texas Tesla owner says he punched the accelerator to outrun an oncoming train after his car on “Full Self-Driving” drove itself through a lowered railroad crossing arm as the train closed in on the tracks.
Joshua Brown, who says he has logged more than 40,000 miles using Tesla’s driver assist, described the incident as the first time FSD has ever “let me down.”
