Tesla gave the Model Y Long Wheelbase a family brief and then clearly got carried away. 6 seats. 325 miles of range. 0–60 in 4.4 seconds. Every seat heated and ventilated. Huge trunk. Grok. FSD. This is the kind of family car that makes “practical” sound suspiciously fun. Tesla / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné

Woah... the Tesla Semi is no joke. The Tesla team really made it the best semi truck in the world. Just check out the main stats shared from Jay Leno's video. • It goes 500-miles for the long-range model, tested fully loaded and also has a a 325-mile standard-range option available - they both handle max payload • It does 1.2 MW charging, which recovers ~60% of the battery (~300 miles of range) in just 30 minutes during mandatory driver breaks • Has a drag coefficient of ~0.4, which is lower than a Bugatti Veyron bc of the bullet-shaped cab and radical center-driver seating (fyi this is a ~7% improvement over previous design) • The battery is engineered to last 1 million miles, has the same cells as the Cybertruck • It's 50% cheaper to operate in California and nearly 20% cheaper per mile nationwide, this includes everything like energy, maintenance, no oil changes • While Jay Leno was hauling 60-70,000 lbs GVW, he said “I don’t even feel like I’m pulling anything…” • The Tesla Semi fleet already logged >13.5 million miles total, with one truck approaching 440,000 miles with 95% uptime • It's ~1,000 lbs lighter overall + 2,000 lb EV weight exemption keeps it at full payload parity with diesel trucks • Regen braking is so strong it descends steep grades at highway speed with almost zero use of service brakes • The truck is proven in Alaska winters with heat pump and minimal range loss • It has a turning radius like a Model 3/Y despite being a full-size Class 8 truck • Tesla has a new dedicated factory near Giga Reno ramping high-volume production this year (tens of thousands annually) with strong customer demand already locked in If I were a business, the Tesla Semi is a no-brainer!

A tribute to Tesla's Model S and Model X. For over a decade, these two cars kept doing the same thing: making tomorrow arrive a little earlier. These cars introduced many things that people now barely think about. Massive touchscreens. Software updates. Insane acceleration. Long-range EVs. Real-world AI. Today, it feels normal. Back then, it felt like the future. That's a legacy worth celebrating. Tesla

TESLA SEMI: THE FUTURE OF TRUCKING IS ELECTRIC, EFFICIENT & AUTONOMOUS The Tesla Semi isn’t just another truck—it’s a complete redefinition of long-haul trucking. With production ramping up and deliveries accelerating, it’s already proving why electric Class 8 semis will dominate the industry. Why the Tesla Semi is critically important: •Unmatched efficiency & cost savings ~1.7 kWh/mile energy consumption (real-world data from PepsiCo & early fleets) — far lower than diesel equivalents. Operating costs drop dramatically with electricity vs. diesel, plus massive reductions in maintenance (no oil changes, fewer brake replacements thanks to regenerative braking). •Insane performance 0–60 mph in ~20 seconds fully loaded (500-mile range version), 0–60 in under 10 seconds in lighter configs. Instant torque makes hills and merging effortless—safer and faster than diesel trucks. •500+ mile range on a single charge Real-world highway range exceeds 500 miles even with heavy loads, eliminating most range anxiety for long-haul routes. Megachargers add hundreds of miles in ~30 minutes. •Autonomy-ready platform Built on Tesla’s Full Self-Driving hardware and software stack. Future unsupervised FSD will eliminate driver fatigue, reduce accidents (94% of which involve human error), and enable 24/7 operation—transforming driver economics and safety. •Environmental & regulatory edge Zero tailpipe emissions, helping fleets meet tightening emissions standards (California, EU, etc.). Lower noise pollution for urban deliveries and night operations. •Fleet economics revolution Lower TCO (total cost of ownership) than diesel trucks over the vehicle life. When combined with solar + Megapack charging depots, operating costs approach near-zero marginal energy cost. The Tesla Semi isn’t competing in trucking—it’s redefining the entire category. From PepsiCo’s early fleet to upcoming high-volume production, it’s the truck that makes electric long-haul not just possible, but inevitable 🚛⚡

Breaking news 🗞️ 🚨 Tesla just quietly solved a problem in Australia. The Model X is gone from our market. But the new Model Y L Premium AWD might actually be the closest thing we have to a replacement. And honestly… it makes a lot of sense. ⚡ Tesla Model Y L – Key Specs • 0–100 km/h: ~5.0 sec • Range: ~681 km WLTP • Top speed: 201 km/h • Seating: 6 adults • Supercharging: 250 kW • ~288 km added in 15 min 💰 Australian pricing (before on-road costs) Model Y Long Range AWD → $68,900 Model Y L Premium AWD → ~$74,900 So for roughly $6k more, you get: ✔ 3 rows ✔ 6 seats ✔ Much larger cabin ✔ ~400L extra cargo capacity ✔ Longer wheelbase ✔ Even more range 📊 Quick comparison Model Y Long Range AWD • 5 seats • ~600 km range • 0–100 km/h: 4.8 sec • $68,900 Model Y L Premium AWD • 6 seats • ~681 km range • 0–100 km/h: 5.0 sec • ~$74,900 So performance drops slightly, but practicality goes way up. 🇦🇺 Why this matters in Australia Since Tesla stopped selling the Model X locally, there has been a real gap in the lineup for larger families. The Model Y L doesn’t completely replace the X. You lose things like: ❌ Adaptive air suspension ❌ Driver instrument cluster ❌ Falcon Wing doors ❌ Some luxury interior touches But you still get: ✔ Tesla software ecosystem ✔ Supercharger network ✔ Massive range ✔ Practical 3-row seating And at a much lower price than a Model X ever was. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Who this is perfect for • Growing families • Current Model Y owners needing more space • Former Model X buyers • Anyone considering EV9 / EX90 but wanting Tesla’s ecosystem Personally, as a Model X owner, this is the first Tesla sold in Australia that actually feels like a realistic successor. I’m seriously considering replacing my Model X with the Model Y L, possibly around the end of Q2 or mid-Q3 this year. Not a perfect Model X replacement. But for Australia right now?

THE TESLA MODEL S: THE CAR THAT MADE ELECTRIC VEHICLES SERIOUS When the Model S launched in 2012, the entire world still saw EVs as slow, boring, short-range toys for tree-huggers. The Model S changed that narrative overnight. It wasn’t just an electric car — it was a statement. Here’s why the Model S was so important for EV adoption: • It proved EVs could be faster and better than gas cars 0–60 mph in under 4 seconds (later Plaid versions under 2 seconds) while being completely silent and smooth. It beat most supercars off the line and made “electric” synonymous with performance. • It delivered real long-range capability Over 300 miles of range when most EVs at the time struggled to reach 100 miles. Suddenly, road trips became possible and “range anxiety” started to feel outdated. • It introduced over-the-air updates The first production car that could get major performance upgrades, new features, and safety improvements wirelessly — like a smartphone on wheels. This changed how people think about car ownership forever. • It forced the entire auto industry to respond Legacy manufacturers who had been dragging their feet on EVs suddenly rushed to catch up. The Model S basically lit the fuse for the modern EV revolution. • It made luxury electric desirable Premium interior, massive touchscreen, ridiculous acceleration, and futuristic design turned EVs from “compromise” into “aspiration.” Without the Model S proving that electric cars could outperform and out-luxury gasoline vehicles, we wouldn’t have the Model 3/Y explosion, the Cybertruck, or the flood of competitors now racing to go electric. The Model S didn’t just sell cars. It changed the future of transportation. It took EVs from niche to mainstream and showed the world what was possible.

🇺🇸 This is the Tesla Model Y in full self-driving mode on the roads of Austin. But the interesting part isn't the car; it's what FSD could eventually do to our concept of distance. Imagine living 200 miles from your office and barely caring about the commute because the car handles most of the driving. Imagine being able to cross states overnight while you relax, work, or eventually sleep, turning journeys that once required flights, hotels, and careful planning into something approaching a very long elevator ride. For more than a century, cars gave us freedom of movement. Autonomy could give us freedom from the driving itself. Writers: Mhedi, Ian

NEWS: Edmunds has rated the new Tesla Model Y the best car they've driven in 2025 after testing more than 200 vehicles. "The ride quality is perhaps the best among its competitors. And those interior build-quality issues? They're entirely gone. The cabin took a much-needed leap forward in both fit and finish and materials alike. Its other positives still remain. There's an incredible amount of cargo room between the large trunk and frunk, acceleration is plenty quick enough for the everyday haul, and you'll net well over 300 miles of range (as long as you don't drive like an absolute loon all of the time). We get that its minimalistic interior won't be for everyone, but hey, at least you get a turn signal stalk."

🚨 BMW HAS SOLVED ONE OF HYDROGEN’S BIGGEST PACKAGING PROBLEMS. The company has developed a new “Hydrogen Flat Storage” system for the iX5 that uses seven slim hydrogen tanks instead of two large ones. This flat design fits into the same space as the high-voltage battery pack used in the electric iX5. This is significant because it allows BMW to build the hydrogen-powered iX5 on the same production line as petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric versions without major changes to the factory or vehicle architecture. The system stores 7kg of hydrogen at 700 bar and gives the iX5 an estimated range of 385 miles. BMW plans to start series production of the iX5 Hydrogen in 2028, using a fuel cell developed in partnership with Toyota. Why this matters: • One of the biggest barriers to hydrogen vehicles has been packaging the tanks without sacrificing interior space or requiring completely separate production lines • This modular “flat storage” approach makes hydrogen powertrains much more practical to manufacture at scale • It gives BMW flexibility to produce multiple powertrains on one platform depending on demand and regional infrastructure The deeper implication: While battery electric vehicles currently dominate, BMW is continuing to develop hydrogen as a parallel technology, particularly for larger vehicles and longer-range applications. Being able to build both BEVs and FCEVs on the same line is a pragmatic engineering step that could make hydrogen vehicles more commercially viable in the future if the refuelling infrastructure catches up.

🚨🇨🇳U.S. IN PANIC: China's J-35 Stealth Fighter Now in 'Beast Mode' With Increased Firepower China's J-35 fifth-generation stealth fighter has been seen in a new configuration carrying four PL-15 long-range air-to-air missiles on external pylons under its wings. Combined with the six missiles it carries inside its internal weapons bays, the aircraft can now go into combat with up to ten air-to-air missiles in total. 🔸This setup is informally called "beast mode" — a term borrowed from the U.S. military's similar configuration for the F-35. The idea is straightforward: the aircraft trades some of its stealth capability for significantly more firepower. When weapons are carried externally, they increase the aircraft's radar signature, making it more visible to enemy systems. However, the PL-15 missile's long range means the J-35 can potentially engage enemy aircraft from a safe distance before that visibility becomes a serious problem. 🔸The J-35 entered service in 2025 in both Air Force and Navy variants. The naval version is designed to operate from Chinese supercarriers such as the Fujian. Both versions are considered among the most advanced fifth-generation fighters in the world today, alongside the J-20 and the American F-35 — all three of which are regarded as more sophisticated than the older F-22 or Russia's Su-57. 🔸Within China's own air fleet, the J-35 is expected to serve as a lighter and more affordable complement to the larger and more powerful J-20, which carries a bigger radar, heavier weapons load, and longer range. The J-20 is expected to remain the priority for large-scale procurement, while the J-35 fills a broader operational role at lower cost. Do you think the U.S. can really counter it?

$Ferrari’s $640k Luce EV is straight-up embarrassing, looks like a fancy Prius that costs as much as a small fleet of actual rockets. That video hits hard: top panel, this red Ferrari “Luce” they’re hyping at $640,000 with 2.5s 0-100 and 530km range. Bottom: some Chinese MGIM (or whatever IM Motors variant) for $43k that does 2.74s and 655km. One Ferrari buys you 15 of the Chinese ones that beat it on paper. Brutal. Ferrari completely botched this. They took their first proper EV, stripped out all the V12 screaming soul that actually justifies the stupid prices, and built a heavy four-door liftback with safe, Jony Ive-ish styling that could pass for a loaded Chinese exec sedan from half a block away. No drama, no aggression, just “most comfortable Ferrari ever” marketing fluff. Who the hell pays supercar money for that?

Ferrari’s $640k Luce EV is straight-up embarrassing, looks like a fancy Prius that costs as much as a small fleet of actual rockets. That video hits hard: top panel, this red Ferrari “Luce” they’re hyping at $640,000 with 2.5s 0-100 and 530km range. Bottom: some Chinese MGIM (or whatever IM Motors variant) for $43k that does 2.74s and 655km. One Ferrari buys you 15 of the Chinese ones that beat it on paper. Brutal. Ferrari completely botched this. They took their first proper EV, stripped out all the V12 screaming soul that actually justifies the stupid prices, and built a heavy four-door liftback with safe, Jony Ive-ish styling that could pass for a loaded Chinese exec sedan from half a block away. No drama, no aggression, just “most comfortable Ferrari ever” marketing fluff. Who the hell pays supercar money for that? It’s like they forgot what made them special and chased generic luxury EV vibes instead. This is exactly why Ferrari’s losing the plot in the electric world.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 TOMAHAWKS OVER IRAN: WHY AMERICA PULLS THE TRIGGER AND ISRAEL DOESN’T When the U.S wants to hit something far away without asking a pilot to risk becoming tomorrow’s hostage video, it reaches for the Tomahawk. A Tomahawk cruise missile launches from a submarine or warship, drops down to skim the earth, navigating mountains, rivers, and cities until it arrives at the exact building someone in Washington decided shouldn’t exist anymore. Then it erases it. No pilot. No warning. Just a very expensive message. That’s why the U.S loves them when dealing with places like Iran. Iran’s nuclear facilities, missile sites, and command bunkers are buried deep inside a country that has spent decades preparing for air attacks. A warship sitting hundreds of miles away in the Persian Gulf or Arabian Sea can launch dozens of them. The missiles slip under radar, snake through terrain, and hit multiple targets almost simultaneously. It’s warfare designed for the age of GPS and satellites: long distance, precise, and politically convenient, because when a pilot gets shot down, you have a crisis. When a missile does the job, you have a press briefing. So if Tomahawks are so useful, why doesn’t Israel have them? Part of the answer is simple: the U.S is extremely picky about who gets its most advanced long-range strike toys. Tomahawks aren’t just weapons, they’re strategic leverage. Handing them out too widely means giving allies the ability to launch deep-strike attacks thousands of miles away without American involvement. Washington prefers to keep that particular button under its own finger, but Israel isn’t exactly defenseless without them. Instead of buying Tomahawks, Israel spent decades building its own strike arsenal. Long-range aircraft, stealth capabilities, submarine-launched cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles that can reach well beyond the Middle East. The difference is that Israeli weapons tend to be designed around regional wars, not global power projection. America fights with a planetary toolbox. Israel fights with a regional one. And when the target sits deep inside Iran, hardened, defended, and politically explosive, the U.S. Navy’s cruise missiles become the cleanest way to start the fight. Which is why when the opening act of a conflict begins with sudden explosions hundreds of miles inland, there’s a good chance the culprit isn’t a jet.

Big win for open-source LLMs! DeepSeek V4 Pro holds the top open-weights score on SWE-bench Verified, in the GPT-5.5 range. GLM 5.2 leads the open-weight intelligence index and sits near the closed frontier on long-horizon coding. But this leaderboard number is a weak proxy for real performance. It comes from one task set, run through one harness, served at one precision. The same weights can even score differently across providers, since many hosts quantize activations to fp8 and drift the model off its reference weights. Real performance is determined based on whether a model can read a repo, make coordinated edits across files, run the tests, and recover when one breaks. By that measure, the top open models hold up, but only inside the right harness. The teams that actually put DeepSeek V4 into production pipelines as a frontier substitute got there through the harness they built around the model, not by picking a stronger model. If you want to see this in practice, Cline (64k+ stars) has actually built that harness around open models, tuned so they run at production quality. And it's tuned so that these LLMs can run at production quality, with plan and act modes, checkpoints, and terminal feedback. ClinePass is the new access layer on top of it. It runs a curated set of those models inside Cline, narrowed to the ones tested for coding-agent use, with 2 to 5x the standard rate limits and no separate provider accounts, keys, or billing to track. The video below shows the setup, and I worked with the team to put this together. It runs alongside custom keys and local models as well, not in place of them.

A gym asked to repost their workout video. Eight months later, that same gym pays them $10,400 a month. Two friends run one Instagram account together, split down the middle. It started as a joke — a place to dump their workout clips so they'd stop flooding their personal pages. Then the gym they train at reposted one video. Then asked for more. Then offered to pay. That was the whole beginning. One local gym, a small monthly fee to keep their feed looking alive. Here's what they figured out fast: gyms are desperate for content and terrible at making it. Beautiful equipment, dead Instagram. The two of them already film every session anyway — so they started pointing the camera at what the gym needed and handing it over as a finished feed. Now they run it like a tiny agency. Three gyms and two activewear brands pay them to produce a month of content each — reels, captions, the posting calendar, the whole thing. The part that makes it possible with two people and full-time jobs: AI does the 90% that used to need a team. They film. Claude does the rest — cuts one session into 20 clips, writes captions in each client's voice, builds the 30-day calendar, drafts the monthly report that keeps every contract renewed. What used to take an editor, a copywriter, and an SMM manager now runs while they're getting coffee after the workout. 5 clients. Around $2,000 each. $10,400 a month. Their cost to run all of it: under $60. That number doesn't move whether they have 5 clients or 15 — that's the entire model. The wild part is how ordinary they are. No huge following. No personal brand. Two normal girls who train together and realized the footage they were already making was worth money to someone else. Every friend group at every gym is filming the same content for fun and letting it die in their camera roll. These two just asked one gym if it wanted to buy it. The full breakdown — how two people turn shared workouts into a real content business — is in the thread above. Read it before another duo in your city signs those gyms first.

My wifey found him!!!!!! 2 miles into the Forrest! We ran into some campers that saw him and split up into two directions. Wifey actually climbed up to the top of the mountain and found him hiding from wolves and coyotes and bears in like a rock cave. She took a video and saw his eyes glowing and he was keeping quiet which was smart cause of predators I had just buried my little dog after 20 years together and Bruno is only 4 so I feared the worst and wifey kept saying she’ll find him and she did in pitch black dark with just a flashlight after almost 5hrs Sorry for the drama but I had a presentation planned and my 11yr old daughter ran up and told me that one of the smaller kids opened one of the sliding doors and he went exploring but we have some construction going on so he couldn’t get to the park that we normally go to next to my house and he crossed a dark semi busy highway which was a first and ended up 2 miles into a pitch black Forrest How she found him I still don’t know. I had grabbed my tent ready to sleep the night deep in the woods too. But I got lucky, he’s the sweetest animal and my best friend we do everything together everyday and he sleeps in my bed with me every night so I was heart broken until my wife faced time’d me and said look who I found and I bust into tears of joy not gonna lie and said how the F did you find him, and she said his magical glowing eyes and for the first time I laughed and could feel my heart fill with joy Sorry for the long story.

🇨🇳 CHINA RELEASES VIDEO OF HYPERSONIC SHIP-KILLER LAUNCHING FROM DESTROYER - U.S. CARRIERS JUST GOT A TARGETING PROBLEM THEY CAN'T SOLVE China's navy just published footage of a Type 055 destroyer launching a YJ-20 hypersonic anti-ship missile. Mach 6+ speeds. 1,000+ km range. Designed specifically to kill aircraft carriers. The footage itself is the weapon. China's not showing this for domestic propaganda. They're telling the U.S. Navy: "Your carriers can't operate in the Pacific anymore without accepting catastrophic risk." Here's the math that just changed: U.S. carrier strike group costs: ~$50 billion (carrier + escorts + aircraft) YJ-20 missile cost: ~$10 million Number of missiles needed to mission-kill a carrier: Unknown, but probably less than 20 The economics are brutal. China can build 5,000 hypersonic missiles for the price of one U.S. carrier. Even with 90% interception rates (currently impossible), they just need to saturate defenses. Hypersonic missiles at Mach 6 travel 2 km per second. The 1,000 km range means 8 minutes flight time from launch to impact. Current U.S. ship defense systems are built for subsonic and supersonic threats. Hypersonics compress decision time to seconds. The destroyer platform is what makes this devastating. China's building Type 055s in volume - eight operational, more under construction. Each can carry multiple YJ-20s. That's mobile hypersonic capability deployed across the entire Pacific. U.S. carriers project power by getting close enough to launch aircraft. But if carriers can't survive within 1,000 km of Chinese coast, they can't project power into Taiwan Strait, South China Sea, or anywhere China's destroyer fleet can reach. Pentagon's been warning about this for years. Now China's demonstrating it works and they're mass-producing the platforms. The carrier era might be ending the same way battleships ended - too expensive, too vulnerable, replaced by cheaper weapons that can kill them from beyond their effective range. China's releasing this footage right as tensions over Taiwan escalate. The message: come within range, find out what happens. Source: Open Source Intel

$🚨🇺🇸 U.S. IN PANIC: Iran’s Shaheds are already breaking defenses — but China’s drones will be a nightmare Drones are getting cheaper, smarter, and harder to stop. Recent clashes in the Middle East showed how even relatively simple Iranian systems can slip through and damage high-value targets, exposing gaps in US/Israel air defense networks. That battlefield reality is now forcing a harder question, what happens when a more advanced industrial power applies the same logic at scale? China’s ASN-301 represents a different class of threat. Unlike Iran’s Shahed-136, which operates largely as a pre-programmed strike tool, the Chinese system is built to hunt air defenses. It can loiter for hours, detect radar emissions, switch to electro-optical tracking if signals disappear, and receive mid-flight updates via datalink. In effect, it turns the battlefield into a persistent seek-and-destroy environment for radars, the backbone of any modern defense system. Iran relies on volume: cheap, long-range drones launched in waves to exhaust interceptors. China combines that model with precision. Variants like the Feilong-300D push costs even lower while retaining flexibility in payload and targeting, making mass deployment economically viable on an entirely different scale. And this is where the real pressure point emerges. If US systems are already struggling to consistently intercept Iranian drones, the implications are stark. A conflict in the Western Pacific would hinge on production capacity. China’s ability to flood the battlespace with smarter, adaptable drones could force the US and its allies into a costly cycle: burning million-dollar interceptors to stop systems that cost a fraction to produce. The US is facing major difficulties in stopping Iranian drones—do they stand a chance against Chinese drones? NewRulesGeopolitics$
