A British hybrid off-road vehicle landed its first export orders, with prototypes now being tested in Canada and the Middle East. The company also unveiled a bigger, 6-wheeled version that carries an extra tonne of cargo.

Meta just launched Muse.
And they’re calling it “the world’s first personal AI agent built for everyone.”
An AI that actually does things…
It gets its own secure computer, opens a browser, books things, sends emails, and keeps working even after you close the app.
But doesn’t this sound familiar?!
Bc I’ve basically been living this way with Grok Bot… I also give it work, it uses a real computer, it handles the browser, it connects to my tools, and it gets things done.
Then Meta shows up with Muse and suddenly it’s being presented like they discovered the personal AI agent.
This is Mark Zuckerberg’s greatest talent.
He does NOT invent new categories.
He’s the king at copying them, scaling them, and putting them in front of billions of people.
Just to name some examples…
Snapchat proved Stories, then Meta copied Stories.
TikTok proved short-form vertical video, then Meta built Reels.
𝕏 proved the public text feed, then Meta launched Threads.
Now AI agents are becoming the next huge computing platform… and here comes Muse.
It’s the same playbook.
1/ Let someone else prove the idea.
2/ Build Meta’s version.
3/ Plug it into a massive distribution network.
4/ Market it like something completely new.
Don’t get it twisted, Muse is a copy of Grok Bot… you almost have to respect how consistent Zuckerberg is at copying.
The next-gen Tesla Roadster unveil on October 1 is a moment years in the making.
This event is really for the people who put their $ money down on the Roadster a long time ago.
They believed in the car, waited through the delays, and watched the years pass, while believing that one day it would finally become real.
And now, after all that waiting, they’re about to see the car they’ve been dreaming about finally come to life.
That’s what makes this unveil different...
It’s a moment for the loyal customers who believed early, stayed patient, and waited years for this.
On November 16, 2017, Tesla was in Hawthorne for the Semi event. Everybody thought the night was about the truck. Then the trailer opened and a red Roadster drove out. Orders opened that night and Elon said the car would be in production in 2020.
There were two ways in.
1/ The base car was $200,000. To hold your spot you put down $50,000. $5,000 on a card, then $45,000 wired within 10 days.
2/ Founders Series was the first 1,000 cars. That one was $250,000, and it was the whole car, paid up front. $5,000 on a card, then $245,000 wired within 10 days. It was the full price, for a car that was supposed to show up 3 years later.
3/ Tesla's own reservation agreement said they would not hold your money in escrow and they would not pay you interest. It was essentially an interest-free loan and if all 1,000 Founders spots filled, that was $250 million Tesla could use while it was still in Model 3 production hell. Tesla eventually took the Founders Series off the site in late 2021.
And if you want to see the opportunity cost of putting down $250,000 at that time, this is another way to see it...
That night $TSLA closed at ~$312.50.
$250,000 bought 800 shares.
Then the 5-for-1 split in August 2020.
Then the 3-for-1 in August 2022.
Those 800 shares became 12,000 shares.
Friday, September 18, 2026 Tesla stock closed at $364.27.
12,000 shares is $4.37 million.
About 17.5 times their money, before taxes, if they bought at the close and never sold. The $250,000 they sent Tesla would have bought that same Founders Roadster about 17 times!
All of them were allowed to cancel.
The agreement said that before you sign the purchase agreement, you can cancel and get the $ money back.
Some people did... they got tired of waiting.
2020 turned into 2021.
2021 turned into 2022.
Then another year. Then another.
8 years and 10 months later, zero interest... and the car is still not in the driveway.
The ones who stuck with it, really didn't have to. A lot of them owned the stock too. They sent the car $ money anyway, and they left it there.
To be honest, that's a different kind of loyalty... I respect the heck out of every single one of them. The people who wired $250,000 in 2017 are just in a different league.
So this is what October 1 really means...
Congratulations to every reservation holder still on the list.
You sent Tesla the $ money in the hardest years, and you left it there with no interest, no car, year after year, and could have cancelled. And you didn't.
I really hope Waco feels like the thank you it should be, bc you earned a night like this.
A Tesla event is usually for everybody watching, but this one is for the reservation holders. You get to be in the room, 8 years and 10 months after the night you said yes. It's for you guys.
Enjoy it. You waited long enough.
Elon may not always be on time, but he ALWAYS delivers.
I have a feeling the next-gen Tesla Roadster is going to be well worth the wait.
