Samsung SDI said Monday that it has been seeking collaboration with multiple robotics companies looking to use its all-solid-state batteries, which are under development and set for mass production starting next year. The statement fueled speculation that Samsung SDI’s all-solid-state batteries could be used to power Hyundai Motor’s Atlas humanoid robot, given the partnership between the battery manufacturer and the carmaker. “Thanks to the application of physical artificial intelligence technology, the robotics market has grown rapidly and demand for all-solid-state batteries is increasing, considering the limited space for batteries in such devices and the need for high safety and power,” Park Jong-sun, head of Samsung SDI’s battery strategic marketing office, said at a conference call on the company’s earnings during the fourth quarter of last year.

SEJONG —Online shopping sales in Korea rose 6.2 percent from a year earlier to a new monthly high in December, driven by strong sales of Tesla vehicles and rising demand for food services, government data showed Monday. The value of online shopping transactions stood at 24.29 trillion won ($16.68 billion) in December, up 1.42 trillion won from a year earlier, according to the data from the Ministry of Data and Statistics. The figure marked the highest level since 2017, when the ministry began compiling the data. Spending on automobiles and auto accessories surged 66.4 percent from a year earlier, supported by strong sales of Tesla models sold through online ordering systems. Sales of food services climbed 9.1 percent from a year earlier, largely due to promotional campaigns by food delivery platforms. Sales of food and beverages jumped 10.2 percent on-year, the data showed. Purchases made through smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices rose 6.2 percent from a year earlier to 18.8

Is Tesla still a car company? It's a question we've been asking ourselves more frequently over the past year, especially as the company's car business shrinks and Elon Musk continues to push the message that Tesla should be seen more as an AI and robotics leader and less so as a mere seller of four-wheeled conveyance. Last night during Telsa's quarterly earnings call, the question of whether Tesla still wants to sell cars was seemingly answered by Musk and his lieutenants. In one fell swoop, the company killed off its original flagship EVs, the Model S and Model X, to make room for the mass production of a humanoid robot that, as we've seen … Read the full story at The Verge.

Tesla Korea’s aggressive pricing strategy makes its models stand out, with few electric vehicle (EV) rivals matching the U.S. brand’s strong commercial value, according to market watchers. The iconic EV brand demonstrated its market strength in Korea last year. According to data from market tracker CarIsYou, Tesla Korea sold 59,949 EVs in 2025, up 101.5 percent from the previous year, driven by the strong popularity of its price-competitive Model Y SUV. The vehicle was Korea’s top-selling imported model last year, with sales of 50,405 units, up 169.3 percent from a year earlier. Its exceptional growth surprised the market, surpassing sales of Mercedes-Benz Korea’s flagship E-Class sedan, long the country’s best-selling imported car. Tesla is looking to solidify its position in Korea by rolling out a series of aggressive discount campaigns for its most price-competitive models, the Model Y and Model 3.
