NeuroHUD puts Tesla navigation and alerts where drivers can see them
Tesla owners have been debating the missing instrument cluster for years. Some drivers love the minimalist center screen setup, while others still want critical driving information directly in their line of sight.
Now, a startup called NeuroHUD says it has the answer. Its slogan? “The heads-up display Tesla forgot.” NeuroHUD says it’s the world’s first true heads-up display (HUD) built specifically for Tesla vehicles. Instead of glancing at the center screen, drivers can see important information projected directly ahead, keeping their eyes on the road.
And they’ve clearly got Tesla owners’ attention: NeuroHUD’s Kickstarter campaign has launched, and it has already raised more than $400,000 in its first 72 hours.

Semi-solid state batteries are coming to the e-bike industry – and for real this time
For years, “next-gen battery tech” in the e-bike world (and the EV world in general) has mostly been a promise. Solid-state batteries were always just around the corner, hyped in EV headlines but nowhere to be found on actual bikes you could buy.
That may finally be changing.

How US automakers lobbied themselves into a $70B loss – and let China win
Perhaps you’ve heard the news – automakers across the industry are canceling EV investments, taking tens of billions in losses in response to a claimed lack in customer demand for EVs (even as EV sales in fact continue to rise globally and gas car sales have peaked).
A new analysis by InfluenceMap shows how automakers actually made their own bed, by flip-flopping on their own lobbying efforts and contributing to the regulatory instability that currently plagues an industry with long planning timelines and global competitors that have not hamstrung themselves with such uncertainty.

NHTSA announced today that the 2026 Tesla Model Y is the first vehicle to pass its new advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) benchmark tests under the updated New Car Assessment Program. The agency framed it as a milestone for vehicle safety.
The announcement is real progress, and credit where credit is due — Tesla passed all eight ADAS evaluations. But the context around this news is important, and it paints a more nuanced picture than the press release suggests.
