37% of new trucks in China now electric. And they're not just the little ones... This is (I think) 49 tons - bigger than allowed in UK and Europe.

This was at one of hundreds of battery swapping stations which give them 550ish kWh in about 5 minutes.

This sort of thing is very bad news for diesel, so of course you'll see a lot of the usual histrionics from oil lobbyists and their acolytes, but it's real, it's cheap, they're powerful and they're probably inevitable.

@kmartyn5 So much for another Tesla killer! Should have never fired Herbert Diess!!!

They are just getting started with what needs to be done. Spinning off the core brand into a separate legal entity, could be preparation to let some non-core brands go bankrupt, or vice versa.

What do you think?

@mattbrode I do as I was training on my bike doing intervals from 530-7PM🤣🤣

If you mash your foot on the accelerator pedal, the car will accelerate, whether you're driving a Tesla or any other car brand. In this case, the driver kept the accelerator pressed even after the crash.

It's very clear that the issue isn't Tesla or FSD - it's human drivers. Humans are not good drivers, but robots are, as evidenced by the safety data from both Tesla and Waymo.

The solution is obvious: If you take away the steering wheel and pedals and let the robots drive, crashes caused by human error - like driving into a house after overriding the system - simply won't happen.

There has never been a documented case of a robotaxi driving itself into a house, ever.

Catching this before it goes loud: SpaceX asked the credit markets for $25 billion. They offered $89 billion. Bond desks don't oversubscribe a rocket company 4x unless they've quietly started pricing it as something it has never called itself. 👀

For the first time, researchers have identified exactly what Roman builders were adding to their concrete to make it last for centuries....

At an unfinished building site in Pompeii, abandoned during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, archaeologists uncovered something rare: Roman concrete materials that were prepared but never mixed. That frozen moment revealed how Roman builders actually made their concrete.

Instead of mixing lime and water the way we do today, they combined quicklime with volcanic ash first, then added water. The reaction produced intense heat and left behind tiny fragments of reactive lime trapped inside the hardened concrete. When cracks later formed and water seeped in, those fragments reacted again and sealed the damage from within.

In other words, some Roman concrete was intentionally engineered to heal its own cracks — and it’s still doing it nearly 2,000 years later.

Let me get this straight,
The guy that drove his car full throttle into a brick house walked away uninjured?

And the government agency in charge of vehicle Safety wants to investigate the car company for not being safe enough?

Hello?
Anyone home?

Used Cybertruck prices continue to be strong.

Shocking.

Just shocking.

Who would have guessed Porsche sucks at software.

Oh wait… a lot of us did and were told to quit being biased.

If you want to cut off SpaceX's government 'handouts', it's pretty simple.

Just start putting stuff into orbit for cheaper than SpaceX does. That's it.

Audrey Crews, the first woman to receive the implant, used only her thoughts to digitally sign her name in cursive and it closely matches the signature she used before paralysis.

For someone who lost physical control after a devastating accident, this is more than a demo. It's a glimpse of a future where brain-computer interfaces may help restore communication, creativity, and independence

Imagine waiting 20 minutes in line at Costco for gas when you can charge at home instead.
