Cybercab Reveal and Global Market Response
On September 3 in Austin, Texas, Tesla officially pulled the cover off the 'Cybercab,' a fully autonomous vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals. This event is seen as a major milestone in Tesla's self-driving tech roadmap, really firing up investor excitement. Right after the event, Tesla stock (TSLA) closed up 4.70% during the trading session showing strong momentum.
Morgan Stanley analysts predict this Cybercab event will be the single biggest factor shaping Tesla stock's future trajectory. On the flip side, Future Fund Managing Partner Gary Black pointed out Tesla's steep valuation, advising that "you might not want to buy it because it's expensive, but that's no reason to short it," showing mixed vibes among investors.
Dominant Presence in the South Korean Auto Market
Aside from the global buzz, Tesla's sales numbers in South Korea just keep climbing. Data dropped on September 3 shows the Tesla Model Y sold 7,490 units in the Korean market during August 2026, grabbing the number one spot across all passenger cars, both domestic and imported. This left heavy hitters like the Kia Sorento (6,397 units) and Hyundai Grandeur (around 5,931 units) trailing far behind.
Tesla Korea officially confirmed on September 3 that the Model Y became the best-selling car in the entire South Korean auto market for August. This win proves Tesla is holding onto its serious brand power and price competitiveness even as Chinese EVs surge. Still, some local customers are complaining about service delays due to a shortage of accident repair parts, leaving Tesla with the homework of expanding its after-sales infrastructure to match its booming sales.
