Tesla details robotaxi-only Supercharger buildout, barred to public

Tesla has applied for permits to build two robotaxi-only V4 Supercharger sites in Chandler and Mesa, Arizona, a first confirmed plan for charging infrastructure dedicated solely to autonomous vehicle operations. The sites would not be open to the public, unlike Tesla’s roughly 7,000 public Supercharger locations worldwide. The move follows a withdrawn February plan for a San Francisco charging hub and comes as Tesla expands robotaxi service beyond Austin.

One year after DeepSeek, Chinese AI models spread rapidly, overtake U.S. in download share

Chinese AI companies are expanding developer ecosystems with open-source models, while U.S. firms stick to closed, API-based approaches, MIT Technology Review reported. A turning point was DeepSeek’s R1 reasoning model released in January 2025. Researchers said Chinese open-weight models accounted for 17.1 percent of global AI model downloads in the year to August 2025, edging the U.S. share of 15.86 percent. Adoption is rising in the Global South despite constraints such as censorship and disputes over distillation.
