Tesla Cybercab: mass-producing a car it can’t sell or drive itself

Tesla is ramping up production of the Cybercab at Giga Texas, with more than 100 of the steering-wheel-less two-seaters already spotted in the factory’s outbound lots.

The problem is that Tesla can’t sell it to you, and it can’t yet drive itself without a human watching — which raises the obvious question of why Tesla is building the car at all right now.

Jasion Hunter Pro review: A folding fat tire full-suspension e-bike for cheap

For some companies, the budget e-bike market has become a race to cram as many headline-worthy specs as possible into a bike without crossing the psychologically important $1,000 mark. Bigger motors, bigger batteries, higher speeds, full suspension – they’re all showing up on bikes that would have sounded impossible at this price just a few years ago.

The new Jasion Hunter Pro is the latest entrant into that category, promising an 1,800W peak motor, a 720 Wh battery, hydraulic brakes, full suspension, folding frame, and Class 3 speeds, all for just $999.
