During multiple historic fuel crises and a climate crisis that left tens of thousands dead across Europe this summer, the bloc is reportedly close to striking a deal to allow its automakers to produce more of the vehicles that directly caused each of those problems. In doing so, it would only ensure that its automakers are unprepared to compete against the country that actually is providing solutions to those problems: China. Back in 2021, Europe announced a target to phase out new gas car sales by 2035, in order to meet an overall goal of 55% emissions reductions by 2030 and full…
Elon Musk has drawn a firm line around who will be in charge of Terafab, the giant chip factory Tesla and SpaceX are planning in Texas. Musk replied to a post on X arguing that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) would most likely end up owning and operating the plant. “No, we will build and run the fab. Let there be ZERO doubt about that,” Musk wrote. “Maybe TSMC subleases part of the Terafab if they want, but nothing more than that.” In plain terms, a sublease means TSMC could rent a section of the complex to make chips, similar…

Mansory revealed a new one-off Bugatti Chiron Vivere at Pebble Beach in August. Turns out, it was commissioned by famous Mexican supercar collector @don_huayra. We can say this with certainty, as the car has the characteristic white sticker on the windscreen. The Mansory Bugatti Chiron Vivere is believed to be based on the same Chiron that was wrapped in the pink and white CDMX taxi livery. The recent modifications have transformed it into a much more aggressive-looking machine. The Chiron Vivere comes with a body kit, featuring a sharper front bumper with DRLs and canards, side skirts with extra ducts…

Although the root cause is still unknown,…
SpaceX has agreed to buy a nationwide block of low band wireless spectrum, a deal the company says will let Starlink Mobile operate as a full US carrier rather than a satellite add-on for someone else’s network. The company announced the agreement on X on Thursday afternoon, saying it will “pave the way for @Starlink to become a major mobile carrier in the US.” The seller is Grain Management, a private investment firm that confirmed in a statement that SpaceX will acquire 100% of its nationwide 800 MHz portfolio. That covers up to 14 MHz of paired spectrum in the…
