I keep thinking about the amount of compute that Tesla has, and I don’t think it’s all advocated to FSD. They are using that compute to make radical changes to efficiency, testing new ideas and processes that will yield better, faster, cheaper vehicles.

How will Tesla produce a $25,000 vehicle? By establishing a Gigafactory in India, Tesla will be able to significantly leverage the advantages of reduced labor costs & locally sourced materials, making the manufacturing of a $25,000 Tesla not just a vision, but an achievable reality. India’s abundant reserves of essential EV materials like lithium, combined with Tesla’s ongoing improvements in battery technology, will be able to yield significant cost reductions. Add to that the benefit of lowered import duties and the elimination of hefty import taxes and shipping costs, thanks to local production. These savings, driven by localizing the entire supply chain and continuously innovating on manufacturing & software, will allow Tesla to substantially lower the final price to the desired $25,000. This will further make electric vehicles widely affordable, revolutionizing their reach not just in India, but globally. IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE!

🇺🇸 TESLA SEMIS GO MAINSTREAM, THE DIESEL ERA IS OVER Tesla Semis are now in real-world fleet service, quietly hauling refrigerated goods with 0 emissions. With sleek design, glowing cab lights, and silent operation, it made diesel drivers look like just a fossil rather than fuel. The Semi’s 1 MW Megachargers can juice it to 70% in 30 minutes for over 400 miles of range, no gas required. For U.S. Foods, America’s second-largest food distributor, the numbers also make sense: 50% lower fuel costs, no oil changes, and brakes that last forever thanks to regenerative tech. With Tesla ramping up production in Nevada, the era of roaring diesel haulers may soon give way to whisper-quiet giants. Source: Nic Cruz Patane, Teslarati, Tesla

NEWS: BMW has unveiled their latest concept EV to preview the upcoming Neue Klasse EVs, one of which will be an all-electric next-generation 3-series sedan. The body design of this car is not too far off from the spy photos of the next-gen BMW 3-series. This interior design language will also be in the next-gen BMW 3 series. "The control unit for the drivetrain, brakes, charging, recuperation, and steering functions processes information ten times faster than previous systems. Working in tandem with the BMW Dynamic Performance Control software, the Heart of Joy computes all the driving dynamics functions with a whole new level of speed and precision. The control unit has been developed entirely in-house using knowledge gained in the field of driving dynamics amassed by BMW engineers over more than a century. The Vision Vehicle develops 13,269 lb-ft of torqure. The reasoning behind this is that if the control system can deal with an explosion of power of this magnitude, it will be able to handle the demands of everyday driving with ease."

Elon Musk: “For robots to be truly useful, they must be intelligent. You should be able to ask them to do things naturally, and they must be affordable to build at massive scale. That combination is rare. Tesla is the only company with all the required ingredients, real-world AI, vision, autonomy, manufacturing, and cost efficiency. That’s what makes Optimus such a big deal. My prediction is that Optimus will be the biggest product of all time, by far. Nothing will even be close. I think it will be 10 times bigger than the next biggest product ever made.”

The number one AI derivative is power and as an investor I'm focusing on is figuring it out. It takes 100x the power required for the old generation of computers. So we need a gigawatt of power and you can't get that anywhere on the US grid anymore. Danielle Smith up in Alberta has all the power in North America. We're gonna have to work out a deal with her. She's got the lowest cost of energy anywhere in the world right now. Watch how popular she's going to be in Washington over the next few months.

Extracting rare earths from air conditioners is far more than an international joke - it exposes the swelling military ambitions of Japan's right-wing leaders and sounds a dangerous alarm for regional peace and the world order. According to a July 4 report by All Nippon News Network (#ANN), as China tightens export controls on rare earths, Japan has for the first time started extracting rare earth elements from discarded household air conditioners. As soon as the news broke, Japanese netizens were the first to lose their composure. Some commented that "Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi claimed there was 'no problem' with rare earths, but in reality, it looks like we're scraping the bottom of the barrel." "We've reached the point where we have to rummage through trash." Some expressed concern that the move could lead to a surge in thefts of outdoor AC units. It does indeed resemble "trash picking," but dismissing it merely as a joke would be to underestimate the deeper signals and strategic warning it conveys. One detail deserves particular attention: this recycling effort from old air conditioners is being led by Mitsubishi Electric. As a vital military-industrial complex in Japan, Mitsubishi Electric is deeply involved in defense electronics, radars, missile systems, and other fields, which is why it has been placed on China's Ministry of Commerce's export control list. This means the rare earths for permanent magnets extracted from civilian air conditioners are highly likely to flow back into Japan's dual-use production chain, even becoming raw materials for its military expansion - fundamentally altering the nature of the entire endeavor. In fact, extracting rare earths from air conditioners is technologically difficult, costly, and faces major challenges in recovery rates and purity. Yet how can anyone view a country that is rummaging through garbage to build missiles as just a laughing matter? This somewhat embarrassing so-called "resource self-rescue" effort reflects, from one angle, the precision, necessity, and timeliness of China's upgraded export controls on rare earths and other dual-use items to Japan. Recently, reports emerged of Japanese nationals in China suspected of smuggling rare earths. Why is Japan in such a panic? Since January this year, exports of dysprosium and terbium from China's controlled rare earth categories to Japan have dropped to zero, while yttrium exports have plummeted by more than 90 percent year-on-year. Faced with such a sharp drop in rare earth supply, what will Japanese right-wing forces use to sustain their ever-expanding military-industrial complex? Japan's attempt to "pry open" this valve by extracting rare earths from old air conditioners precisely exposes the strategic predicament of its "remilitarization." It is trapped in a vicious cycle: remilitarization creates greater demand for rare earths, but the more it pushes remilitarization, the less access it has to those rare earths. What Japan lacks most has never been rare earth resources, but the strategic clarity to face history squarely and uphold peace, as well as the rational understanding to return to people's livelihood and development while living in friendship with neighboring countries. Hard-won East Asian peace must not be wantonly undermined by any single country. #RareEarths #レアアース #DualUse #ExportControls #MitsubishiElectric #AirConditioner #エアコン #資源リサイクル #MilitaryIndustrialComplex #Japan

UP driver Craig Coker hit Laguna Seca in the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance for the first time for testing and baseline lap times as we continue to develop for the platform. We are very pleased with the results. Craig ran a 1:35.07 on DOT street tires in the new car, compared to his best lap on the previous gen Model 3, which was 1:35.7 and that was with a full Ascension-R build and on slicks. More than 1/2 second faster in the new car with no aero mods, less tire, full interior, and using factory Track Mode with no 3rd party boxes. This is a true representation of a modded daily driver with the factory drivetrain/battery warranty intact. Can’t wait to go back and drop that time even further!

Video: World’s first humanoid robot labor that swaps its own batteries to work endlessly | Jijo Malayil, Interesting Engineering Walker S2 uses dual-battery balancing and standardized modules to boost efficiency and ensure uninterrupted, optimized performance. In a leap for robotics, China’s UBTech has unveiled the Walker S2, the world’s first humanoid robot capable of fully autonomous battery swapping. Designed for non-stop industrial operations, the Walker S2 can replace its own power pack in just three minutes—no human intervention required. Equipped with advanced anthropomorphic bipedal locomotion and a hot-swappable battery system, Walker S2 is built to operate 24/7 across dynamic industrial environments. According to UBTech, the next-generation humanoid robot marks a major milestone in automation, bringing continuous, hands-free performance to the factory floor. In May 2025, UBTech Robotics and Huawei Technologies inked a significant partnership to accelerate the adoption of humanoid robots across China’s factories and households. Uninterrupted robot operations A video posted by the robotics firm opens with the sleek UBTech Walker S2 humanoid robot working in an industrial setting. The highlight, however, is its autonomous battery swap. Walker S2 approaches the charging station, carefully detaches its depleted power pack, and seamlessly installs a fresh one—all within about three minutes—without any human assistance, according to CGTN. The camera captures close-ups of the robot’s articulated limbs and the intelligent battery-handling mechanism, conveying precision and reliability. As the swap completes, Walker S2 resumes its duties, reinforcing the promise of uninterrupted, 24/7 operations in dynamic factory environments. UBTech’s Walker S2 humanoid robot is equipped with advanced dual-battery power balancing technology and uses standardized battery modules to optimize performance, reports CNEVPOST. This dual-battery system allows the robot to automatically switch to a backup battery in case of a main battery failure, ensuring that critical tasks are carried out without interruption. In addition to battery swapping, the robot can intelligently choose between charging and swapping based on task urgency, allowing it to manage energy dynamically and adapt to real-time operational demands. UBTech highlights these features as a step forward in deploying humanoid robots for industrial and domestic applications, combining flexibility, reliability, and autonomy in one intelligent platform. Factory intelligence upgrade Earlier in the year, UBTech unveiled a major advancement in humanoid robot collaboration, claiming the world’s first deployment of multiple humanoids working together across varied industrial tasks. Demonstrated at Zeekr’s 5G-enabled smart factory, the breakthrough centers on UBTech’s “BrainNet” framework, which orchestrates cooperative behavior through a cloud-device intelligence system. BrainNet integrates a “super brain” for high-level decision-making with an “intelligent sub-brain” for distributed multi-robot control. The super brain, powered by a proprietary large-scale multimodal reasoning model, handles complex production-line scheduling and decision-making. Meanwhile, the sub-brain coordinates real-time tasks using cross-field perception and Transformer-based control for dynamic adaptability. Together, they enable the Walker S1 humanoid robots to move beyond isolated operations and perform coordinated tasks with high precision and speed. The system is built on DeepSeek-R1 reasoning technology and trained on real-world data from automotive factory settings. Leveraging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), the model adapts to specific job functions and improves scalability across workstations. At Zeekr’s facility, dozens of Walker S1s now collaborate on tasks like assembly, inspection, and part handling. Using semantic VSLAM and shared mapping, they coordinate seamlessly via vision-based navigation and agile manipulation. UBTech says this marks a transition to “Practical Training 2.0,” where humanoid robots operate as a swarm, maximizing efficiency and setting the stage for next-generation intelligent manufacturing.

Tomorrow, I will lay out a detailed plan for shutting down *five* major federal agencies using executive authority under *existing* statutes. We will reduce federal employees by 75%, shut down redundant agencies, & rescind >50% of federal regulations which fail to meet the West Virginia v. EPA standard. This is the single most powerful lever to unleash the U.S. economy. All that’s required is a U.S. President with sufficient spine & knowledge to act. 11 AM EST at the America First Policy Institute Headquarters in Washington D.C.. We’re taking this movement to the next level.

NEWS: Ford has officially unveiled its new electric vehicle platform and its next-generation vehicle production system. Ford Universal EV Platform Details: • Reduces parts by 20% versus a typical vehicle, with 25% fewer fasteners, 40% fewer workstations dock-to-dock in the plant and 15% faster assembly time. • Ford says "Lower cost of ownership over five years than a three-year-old used Tesla Model Y." • Wiring harness in the new midsize truck; more than 4,000 feet (1.3 kilometers) shorter and 10 kilograms lighter than the one used in our first-gen electric SUV • Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) prismatic batteries enable space and weight and cost savings. It's a structural sub-assembly that also serves as the vehicle’s floor • The new midsize truck is forecasted to have more passenger room than the latest Toyota RAV4, even before you include the frunk and the truck bed. You can lock your surfboards or other gear in that bed – no roof rack or trailer hitch racks required • The new midsize truck will have a targeted 0-60 time as fast as a Mustang EcoBoost, with more downforce. Ford Universal EV Production System Details: • Transforming the traditional assembly line into an “assembly tree”. Instead of one long conveyor, three sub-assemblies run down their own lines simultaneously and then join together • Large single-piece aluminum unicastings replace dozens of smaller parts, enabling the front and rear of the vehicle to be assembled separately. • The front and rear are then combined with the third sub-assembly, the structural battery, which is independently assembled with seats, consoles and carpeting, to form the vehicle. • Parts travel down the assembly tree to operators in a kit. Within that kit, all fasteners, scanners and power tools required for the job are included. • Assembly of the new midsize electric truck could be up to 40% faster than Louisville Assembly Plant’s current vehicles. Some of that time will be reinvested into insourcing and automation to improve quality and cost, ultimately netting a 15% speed improvement. Ford: "A simple, efficient, flexible ecosystem to deliver a family of affordable, electric, software-defined vehicles – the first of which is a midsize, four-door electric pickup that will be assembled at Ford’s Louisville Assembly Plant for U.S. and export markets. Its launch is scheduled for 2027. It will have a target starting MSRP at about $30,000 USD." Ford says it is going to deliver a family of affordable, adaptable electric vehicles that offer multiple body styles for work and play — including for export — and whose LFP batteries will be assembled in America, not imported from China. Additional specifications for the midsize electric truck – including reveal date, starting price, EPA-estimated battery range, battery sizes and charge times – will be communicated later. Ford’s $2B investment in their Louisville Assembly Plant is in addition to its previously announced $3 billion investment in BlueOval Battery Park Michigan, which will build the prismatic LFP batteries for the midsize electric truck starting next year. Together, the investments total approximately $5 billion, and between the two plants, Ford expects to create or secure nearly 4,000 direct jobs.
