While Tesla is still at 2C Model Y charging speeds, Chinese automakers now enjoy 4C charging that only takes 15 minutes. The world's biggest battery maker has now unveiled a 5C battery that can last the lifetime of the electric vehicle.
SpaceX will try to solve orbital data center challenges like latency, maintenance, or traffic with a new satellite constellation. It has filed for permission to launch up to a million of those.
The first Chinese vehicle to hit the Gran Turismo franchise has found its rightful place in the racing game's garage with an output of more than 1,500 horsepower. The supercar also offers a breakneck acceleration.
The new Tesla solar panel modules use their frames as rails to attach to the respective mounts, speeding up installation by a third. Tesla also tripled the effective power zones compared to conventional solar panels.
Elon Musk's car company sales may be flagging, but the rest of his businesses are expanding, so he is considering a SpaceX tie-up with Tesla instead of an IPO. Such a merger would more than offset any future Tesla revenue or stock price challenges.
Tesla has finally mastered the touted dry electrode production method for its 4680 batteries, helping lower their costs. The dry 4680 battery production lines are now working to equip some Tesla Model Y versions instead of the Cybertruck.
Elon Musk went on record saying that Optimus is the best humanoid robot outside of China and then some. The American Figure.AI, however, just detailed its new Helix 02 humanoid robot platform with enviable full-body autonomy and finger dexterity.
Tesla will only sell cheaper electric vehicles like the Model Y or Model 3 going forward. It is discarding the premium Model S and Model X while mulling the Cybertruck's fate, too.
Driverless Waymo rides have been falling in price drastically, narrowing the gap with Uber and Lyft significantly. A new entrant, however, offers rides that are twice cheaper than Uber.
