Tesla is now officially selling used Cybertrucks directly from its inventory. Tesla will transport one to any Tesla delivery location of your choice in the continental US for up to $2,500. Prices currently start at $66,200 for a used Foundation Series with 2,566 miles, and peak at $94,800 for a used Cyberbeast (non-foundation series) with 5,256 miles. There are various Foundation and non-Foundation Series trucks available, including 2024 and 2025 model year trucks. (The $2,500 delivery transportation fee is an estimate and will be confirmed once an order is placed)

NASA has just launched a new website for its Moon Base missions, which aims to build a permanent $20 billion U.S. base on the Moon. SpaceX's Starship rocket will play a big role in these missions. "The Moon Base is a home away from Earth for Artemis astronauts who will live and work at humanity’s first lunar outpost. NASA is leading global teams of innovators across international space agencies, industry, and academia to build the Moon Base and establish an enduring human presence near the lunar South Pole for the benefit of all. Phase One (Now–2029): Experiment and Learn NASA will begin with a rapid series of robotic missions to scout the lunar South Pole region, test technologies, and prepare for surface operations ahead of future astronaut missions.: • A major increase in lunar activity, with up to 25 missions, including 21 landings. • Crewed and autonomous rovers for mobility demonstrations and surface preparation, along with four drones known as MoonFall and communications relay and observation satellites. • Early demonstrations of power, navigation, communications, and nuclear radioisotope heater unit technologies designed to endure the long lunar night. • Scientific payload opportunities integrated across landers and rovers. • The first tangible footprint of Moon Base effort, with four tons of payload delivered to test what works on the lunar surface. Phase Two (2029–2032): Early Habitation By 2029, NASA will transition to assembling semi-permanent infrastructure and initiating early habitation and logistics operations: • Deployment of expanded solar power systems and initial nuclear surface power capabilities, potentially including fission reactors and radioisotope power systems. • Upgraded rovers, potential advanced MoonFall drones, and early habitation elements. • Enhanced surface-to-orbit communications networks to provide reliable connectivity across the lunar South Pole region. • Delivery of up to 60 tons of cargo through as many as 24 landings using low-, medium-, and heavy-class cargo landers. Phase Three (2032 and Beyond): Sustained Human Presence This phase will scale operations to achieve a true enduring presence, with routine crew rotations and continuous surface activity. This is when living and working on the Moon becomes a reality: • Semi-permanent habitation modules with spacious interior for crew living and operations. • Operational fission surface power systems capable of delivering steady, reliable energy through the long lunar nights, leveraging in situ resource manufacturing. • Advanced logistics networks supported by crewed and autonomous rovers to keep the base supplied and functioning year-round. • Delivery of up to 38 tons of cargo annually to sustain habitats, power systems, logistics operations, and major science outposts, enabled by low-cost reusable heavy-lift capabilities."

Here's what the fake V8 engine/revving noises sound like in the new all-electric Mercedes AMG GT 4-Door Coupe. Mercedes says the car makes “exhaust burbles and pops" like a gas car.

It’s 2026 and there are legacy automakers that are still shipping crap infotainment systems like it’s 2010. It takes 15 seconds for this Subaru Forester Hybrid to boot up. It takes 4 seconds for the car to even recognize that you tapped “I agree” lol. Horrendous lag.

Tesla has reportedly submitted plans for a carwash dedicated for Robotaxis in Las Vegas. The permit, filed with Clark County on May 12th, describes "Tesla Center Cybercab Phase 2 Car Wash." According to the project description, the work involves interior and exterior improvements to an existing facility, including the construction of a car wash enclosure, relocation of tire service equipment, and the installation of power raceways. This seems to suggest that Tesla is building a full-service maintenance hub specifically designed to handle the unique needs of an autonomous fleet. via Not a Tesla App/MarcoRP:

Today I finally experienced FSD V14 backing up and reacting to a car in real time like this. The car in front of me stopped too far past the white line in the intersection and started reversing. My Model Y recognized the reverse lights and made some room for it. Sentience! My car would have kept going and made even more room, but the car behind me wasn't moving.

First look at Tesla's new Marine Blue exterior color on the Model 3 Premium, which launched last week in the U.S. It’s darker than Tesla’s other blues (Glacier Blue & Frost Blue). Deep Blue Metallic was just discontinued in the U.S. after being in Tesla's lineup for 10 years.

NASA’s Artemis II livestream really makes you appreciate SpaceX’s launch broadcasts. Bad camera tracking, no onboard cameras, countdown timer disappeared, NASA even showed people in the crowd instead of stage separation lol. The screen also blacked out twice during the first 10 seconds of the launch.
