Used Tesla prices are dropping much faster than other used EVs

Since just before the election, used Tesla prices have dropped 3x faster than non-Tesla EVs.

Tesla is becoming increasingly unpopular among Americans, and it’s showing up not only in new but also used car price data.

Since last October, just before the presidential election and when Tesla CEO Elon Musk first took the stage at a Donald Trump rally, the average price of a used Tesla on auto research and shopping site CarGurus has fallen about 7%, or more than triple the decline of non-Tesla used electric vehicles during that same time frame.

Going further back, since Musk began his acquisition of Twitter in the spring of 2022, which roughly coincided with him becoming more vocally right-wing politically, used Tesla prices have fallen about 57%, more than twice that of non-Teslas.

As of mid-March, the average selling price of a used Tesla was about $30,000 — or $10,000 less than other electric vehicles, on average.

The price decline is likely thanks to a confluence of factors:

More people trying to offload their Teslas, potentially adding extra supply to the market.
Muted consumer demand.
Used prices are also somewhat a reflection of new prices, and Tesla has been slashing those in an unsuccessful effort to move more vehicles.

Tim Cook to step down as Apple CEO, John Ternus to replace him

Ternus was considered the front-runner for the job. During Cook’s tenure, he oversaw Apple stock gains of 1,933%, nearly quadrupling the S&P 500.

Report: Google DeepMind builds “strike team” to catch up to Anthropic models

Anthropic’s recent momentum, powered by the success of its popular Claude Code tool, is turning up the heat among its AI competitors — not only for its AI startup peer OpenAI, but also with established Big Tech giants like Google.

The Information reports that within Google DeepMind, a “strike team” has been assembled to make a serious push to improve Gemini’s coding capabilities. According to the report, leaders within Google, including cofounder Sergey Brin, are sounding the alarm after determining that Anthropic’s Claude has superior coding skills. The new team’s goal is to create a AI system that can improve itself.

“To win the final sprint, we must urgently bridge the gap in agentic execution and turn our models into primary developers,” Brin wrote in a recent memo to DeepMind staff.

Tesla’s federal tax bill last year was once again $0, Reuters reports. While past losses and green energy credits helped shrink the bill, Reuters found that Tesla also leaned on a classic corporate maneuver: offshore profit-shifting. By routing intellectual property rights through paper-only subsidiaries in the Netherlands and Singapore, Tesla effectively parked $18 billion in profits overseas between 2023 and early 2025. The entirely legal setup saved Tesla an estimated $400 million in US taxes. Not bad for a company whose CEO is not a fan of “shady” tax loopholes.

Report: NSA is currently using Anthropic’s unreleased Mythos model

According to the Pentagon, Anthropic’s AI tools are a national security supply chain risk, and have been banned for defense applications.

But a new report says the National Security Agency, which operates as a part of the Pentagon, is currently busy using Anthropic’s new, unreleased AI model, Mythos.

Axios reports that Mythos’ reputed advanced offensive cyber capabilities have compelled the NSA to begin using it, despite the public blacklisting from the Pentagon, which Anthropic is suing the US government over.

Anthropic has granted access to a small number of trusted partners to test and prepare for the expected explosion of vulnerabilities to be discovered using the new AI model. UK intelligence agencies have also reportedly gained access to Mythos.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei reportedly visited the White House last week to try and resolve the dispute on allowing wider use of the company’s technology in the federal government.
