OPTIMUS GEN 2 - On December 12th, Tesla’s Optimus account on X.com dropped a holiday surprise on us in the form of a video showcasing the abilities of the next generation of the company’s bipedal robot. The video shows a brief progression of the Tesla Bot from it’s debut with Bumblebee back in 2020, to the current version - which boasts a 30% walking speed boost over the Gen 1 version from March of this year, as well as a 10 kilogram weight reduction, and some impressive new updates to the neck, hands, and the now-human-shaped feet.

3D PARKING ASSIST GOES LIVE - On December 15th, Tesla Full Self Driving Beta Testers took to social media with the release notes for the company’s holiday update to their vehicle software. Among a bunch of precision fixes and latency reductions to the local network was a feature that Tesla drivers have been eagerly waiting for: 3D Parking Visualization.

CYBERTRUCK PARTS COSTS REVEALED - Tesla released their US Parts Catalogue for the new Cybertruck recently, and by December 13th, a copy of several pages that include the normally hidden parts prices showed up on the Cybertruck Owners Club forums.
