Here are all the results and my thoughts about what turned out to be an enjoyable electric vehicle packed with luxury – but not without limitations.

Musk claims Tesla will ‘make AGI’ after years of wrong AI predictions

3 weeks 4 days ago

Elon Musk declared today that Tesla will be “one of the companies to make AGI” and “probably the first to make it in humanoid/atom-shaping form.” It’s the latest in a long string of grand AI predictions from the Tesla CEO.

The problem is that Musk has been making similar claims about AI breakthroughs for years, and he has been wrong every single time. Now, with Tesla’s sales declining for a second consecutive year and earnings crashing, this looks like yet another attempt to attach Tesla to the AI hype cycle.

3 weeks 5 days ago

Toyota and Stellantis are both withdrawing from Tesla’s European CO2 emissions pool for 2026, according to new EU filings. The two automakers were among the largest paying members of the pool.

The move is the latest blow to Tesla’s regulatory credit revenue, which has already been shrinking globally after the US eliminated its own emission credit market last year.

Elon Musk’s xAI is undoing Tesla’s climate work all in the name of AI slop

3 weeks 5 days ago

Elon Musk’s xAI is now operating 62 unpermitted methane gas turbines across two data centers in Memphis, Tennessee, and Southaven, Mississippi. According to xAI’s own permit application, the facilities could emit more than 6 million tons of greenhouse gases and over 1,300 tons of health-harming air pollutants every year.

Meanwhile, Tesla’s latest impact report brags about avoiding 32 million metric tons of CO2. Musk is single-handedly erasing a significant chunk of his own company’s climate legacy to power a middle-of-the-pack AI model.

3 weeks 5 days ago

If you’ve been watching the light electric two-wheeler space over the last few years, you’ve probably noticed one category growing faster than just about anything else: compact electric “e-motos.”

These trail-optimized machines have carved out a niche somewhere far above off-road electric bicycles yet still below full-size dirt bikes, offering serious performance in a smaller, more approachable package.
