Tesla’s Profit Got Cut in Half. Musk Is Still Betting on Tomorrow.

The Little Dashboard Light That Can Save You Hundreds. AI-Generated.
If you drive long enough, you will eventually see it: a small yellow symbol that looks like a horseshoe with an exclamation point inside. Many drivers glance at it, promise themselves they will deal with it later, and keep driving. That little light is your tire pressure monitoring system, or TPMS, and it deserves more respect than it usually gets.

What Happens After a Melbourne Car Accident That Wasn't Your Fault. AI-Generated.
The sound comes first. A dull crunch from behind at the lights on Sydney Road, then the jolt, then the strange quiet that follows. For a few seconds nobody moves. Then the hazard lights go on, a door opens, and two strangers are suddenly in a conversation neither of them wanted to have.

Tesla’s Flying Car Got Applause. Its Shareholders Got a $93 Billion Bill.
At the SpaceX test site in Texas, the white Roadster drove up a curved ramp with the body inverted. The tires clung to the wall, the roof pointed toward the ground, and then the car went airborne, rolled, cleared five Teslas parked on the ground, and came back down under thruster control. The applause in the livestream was loud. Musk stood nearby and said something, but the cheering covered it.

Tesla's Roadster Flip Uses Two Separate Tricks
Two clips released the same day show different maneuvers. In the official C-shaped ramp clip, the car runs up a large curved wall, reaches a near-inverted attitude near the top, leaves the surface, rotates roughly half a turn in the air, and lands on four wheels after a burst of white gas from the underbody. In the five-car jump clip posted by Elon Musk, the car launches forward and upward, clears a row of vehicles including a Semi, rolls nearly a full turn sideways, and fires downward jets before touchdown.

Why BYD Wants to Build a Factory in Renault’s Backyard
I At the 2026 Paris Motor Show in October, the BYD booth was surrounded three layers deep. Stella Li stood on stage with the Seal, Dolphin, and Denza D9 lined up behind her. She laid out the plan for the Hungarian plant to begin production in the fourth quarter. Then she paused and added in an even tone: “France entered the shortlist because your energy prices are very competitive.”

Tesla Built a Flying Car. The Road Still Says No.
October 15, 2026, McGregor, Texas. At a SpaceX rocket test site, a silver-gray Roadster shot up a giant curved ramp. Underbody fans pinned it to the vertical steel. The car drove upside down for dozens of meters, left the ramp, completed a barrel roll in midair, and landed on four wheels. From hundreds of meters away, the audience saw a driverless sports car move through fog and red laser light in a way that looked edited.

I Use My Car’s Autohold Button Like a Handbrake. It’s Faster Than the Real One.
Red light. Ninety seconds. Foot off the brake. Green Hold on the dashboard. Shift to N. Phone screen lights up, then goes dark. Horn from behind. Shift to D. Tap the gas. Hold goes off. Car moves.
