Tesla will likely roll out a monthly subscription plan for customers who aren't yet ready to drop $7,000 upfront for its self-driving technology (TSLA)

Image
Tesla plans to offer its self-driving technology as a subscription service "probably towards the end of this year," CEO Elon Musk told investors during the company's quarterly earnings call on Wednesday. Tesla's "Full Self-Driving" feature, which helps the vehicle navigate highways and park on its own, is available for $7,000 for customers who purchase it upfront. CFO Zach Kirkhorn said buying the feature upfront will still be "the least expensive plan," but a subscription option would let customers take advantage later or spread the costs over time. Tesla's announcement comes as Apple just announced a 16% year-over-year jump in its services revenue and subscription businesses are taking off across various industries.

Tesla is planning to let customers take advantage of its self-driving technology through a subscription plan, CEO Elon Musk announced during the company's qu

Tesla’s next big vehicle release has been delayed again

Image
The Tesla Semi won't enter mass production until 2021. Initially unveiled in late 2017, Tesla's semi-truck was supposed to enter production in 2019. The Tesla Semi delay aside, Tesla this week posted a surprisingly strong earnings report. Visit BGR's homepage for more stories . Tesla's earnings report yesterday was mostly good news. Defying expectations yet again, the electric automaker posted better than anticipated sales and managed to eke out a $16 million quarterly profit in the process. And while that figure isn't exactly earth-shattering, it's certainly encouraging given Tesla's long history of losing money quarter after quarter. All told, Tesla during the March quarter saw revenue hit $5.9 billion as the company delivered 88,400 vehicles. Breaking things down even further, the Model 3 and Model Y accounted for 76,200 of those deliveries while cumulative deliveries for the Model S and X checked in at 12,200 units. Continue reading...

Amazon's CFO gave a 5-minute earnings call intro on a 'gut-wrenching' 2 months scrambling to address demand spikes and worker safety (AMZN)

Image
Amazon CFO Brian Olsavsky spent the first 5 minutes of Thursday's earnings call addressing COVID-19, an unusual way to start the call for the company. He explained the challenges Amazon is facing due to COVID-19, and thanked the warehouse and delivery workers, as well as third-party sellers on its marketplace. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos also gave an unusually long statement in the company's earnings release, saying, "These aren't normal circumstances." Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories . Amazon's earnings call on Thursday started off in an unusual way, reflecting the gravity of changes it's facing amid COVID-19. Amazon CFO Brian Olsavsky — who typically jumps right into the Q&A session — took the first 5 minutes of his call with analysts to explain the severe challenges Amazon is experiencing during the pandemic. He also thanked the warehouse and delivery workers for their work, while acknowledging the work put in by the third-p

The best Amazon Kindle cases

Image
Amazon Kindles are lightweight and portable e-readers designed to go anywhere you go, but they are also fragile and prone to damage.   A good case can protect your Amazon Kindle, and they don't have to break the bank.  Because Kindles come in different shapes and sizes, make sure you choose the right case for the Kindle you own. Amazon's popular Kindle e-readers are lightweight and easy to carry around, but they are also prone to damage if you're not careful. Whether you're reading a best-selling novel by the pool or you tend to throw your tech around, putting a Kindle into a protective case is the obvious solution. But, the number of cases available, in a variety of styles and price points, can feel seemingly endless. After researching all the popular cases for Kindles — from both Amazon and third-party makers — we narrowed down our recommendations to three great options. All cases are folio-style in that they have a hard-shell backing, with the front opening lik

Amazon says it's spending $4 billion or more this quarter on COVID-19 including worker protections like testing, right before workers plan to strike (AMZN)

Image
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos told investors to 'take a seat' as he told them that he's dedicating the entire current quarter's $4 billion profit and then some to COVID-19 related expenses. He said that much of those expenses relate to how the company has been protecting warehouse workers. COVID-19-related worker protection expenses include the creation of its own COVID-19 test, which Amazon's CFO says will cost $1 billion this year. It's worth pointing out that the $4 billion in expenses isn't solely dedicated to worker safety. It includes lots of other items such as hiring 175,000 new warehouse workers and some charitable donations to the community. Meanwhile, some unhappy front line workers across Amazon, Whole Foods as well as Walmart, FedEx, Target and Instacart, are planning to strike on Friday over working conditions.
