Elon Musk officially announced today the formation of X.AI, an artificial intelligence company that will attempt to understand the true nature of the universe and reality. This company, separate from Twitter, Tesla and SpaceX, aims to make use of innovative techniques as well as analyses including Transformer-XL, Autoformalization, the Memorizing Transformer, Batch Size Scaling, and μTransfer.
It’s only a matter of time until we see more electric police vehicles like the Tesla Model PD, which is based on the Model Y platform. Each one comes equipped with customizable integrated emergency LED lighting. This also means that you won’t find a glass roof, but rather a carbon fiber version designed to withstand pursuits as well as accidents.
Matt Mika of Warped Perception has built the world’s first and only turbo diesel Tesla Model S hybrid that gets over 1,000-miles of range on a single charge. How did this idea come about? Mikka wanted a Tesla that did not have to stop and rely on charging stations when traveling long distances.

With production set to begin on the Tesla Cybertruck later this year at Giga Texas, it’s no surprise to see at least a few pre-production units on the road. However, spotting one driving around in a full camouflage wrap is a different story, and at an In-N-Out Burger drive through nonetheless.
The Tesla Model S Plaid is fast, but can it take on a Ferrari SF90 and Porsche 911 Turbo S in a drag racing shodown? CarWow wanted to find out and pit all three against each other at an airfield. Most know that the Tesla Model S Plaid has a tri-motor setup generating 1,020 hp and 1,047 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to hit 60 mph in 1.99 seconds.

During Investor Day 2023, a pre-production beta was on display for attendees to observe and at least one person captured photos of the Tesla Cybertruck interior. Some of the new features that stand out include a new steering wheel that is neither yoke or round, a larger center console, and a clear look at the infotainment screen.
Tesla Bot, also known as Optimus, can now do much more than just walk untethered, as the latest prototypes show it picking up objects and and not smashing an egg. Built-in cameras and sensors enable Tesla Bot to explore as well as memorize environments, while manipulating random objects will still require a bit more training.
Many who own a Tesla Model S Plaid or have driven one probably know that the EV was electronically limited to a 160mph top speed, but now with the $20,000 Track Package, it can now hit 200mph. Fortunately, you also get aluminum forged wheels wrapped in track-ready tires, new brake fluid, carbon-silicon carbide rotors, and one-piece forged calipers with high-performance pads.
Can a Tesla Model S Plaid take on a 1,400hp twin-turbocharged Audi R8 in a drag racing showdown? The former does have a tri-motor (one front + two rear) setup making 1,020 hp and 1,050 lb-ft of torque, so it’s definitely no slouch, even though the Audi R8 V10 does cost around $40,000 USD more from the factory.
