At Tesla's Cyber Rodeo event in Austin, Texas, the Cybertruck took center stage with updated features showcased such as handle-less doors, retractable rear glass, side view cameras, and a fender charging port. The truck's interior was previewed, but lacked final production specifications, including a non-airbag equipped yoke.

Tesla's electric vehicle charging technology, known as the North American Charging Standard (NACS), is being fast-tracked to become a North American standard, with automakers Volvo, General Motors, Ford, and Rivian embracing it over the Combined Charging System (CCS) proposed by the Biden administration. Standards organization SAE International intends to establish an industry-standard configuration of Tesla's charging connector within six months, following discussions with Tesla, other automakers, and the US federal government. The US is expected to have 1.2 million public EV chargers, including 1 million Level 2 chargers, by 2030, which exceeds the Biden administration's target of 500,000 public chargers. The development of this charging network could cost between $33 billion and $55 billion. Tesla-standard plug charging stations may qualify for federal subsidies if they include the CCS. Texas and Washington states intend to mandate the use of NACS and CCS as part of the federal program.

Tesla has ramped up drone restrictions at its Giga Shanghai plant, possibly to protect details about its Project Highland Model 3 refresh. The new measures coincide with the start of Model 3 refresh production earlier in June, during Elon Musk's first visit to China in three years. Drone pilot Wu Wa reports the expansion of the control area around the factory and a flight height limit of 30 meters, making the factory virtually unapproachable. He suggests these measures exceed typical drone control measures in China and were approved by local government. Tesla has been quiet about the Model 3 refresh, which is not merely aesthetic but a complete overhaul. It is expected to be released in late summer or early fall.

SAE International plans to standardize the Tesla-developed North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector for electric vehicles (EVs). This follows various companies, including Ford, General Motors, Rivian, and Volvo, announcing their switch from the SAE J1772 Combined Charging System (CCS) to the NACS. The decision means that the NACS, initially not a consensus-based standard, could become the standard through widespread adoption. The standardization process, which aims to make the NACS universally accessible for use, manufacturing, or deployment, is slated to be completed expediently. It will ensure that all light-duty vehicles in North America use a single charging plug, promoting compatibility across different EVs and charging stations.
