A timber-frame “cathedral” filled with Mopar muscle cars and neon signs sounds like a myth until you hear it from the guy who built it. We sit down with John Hovis, creator of the Hemi Hideout near Brookshire, Texas, to talk about the passion that drove him to collect late-1960s and early-1970s Dodge and Plymouth legends, why an original Superbird still stops people in their tracks, and how the space has grown into a full-on automotive time capsule.We also get into what makes the Hideout more than a private collection: weekday tours, a volunteer crew that loves telling the stories, and a simple model that turns visits into local charity donations. John shares why the building itself matters, how the memorabilia and vintage signs became a second obsession, and what it's like to keep adding pieces when you're “running out of wall.”Then we jump from old-school horsepower to modern electrons with Jeff's Motor Minute nostalgia and Don's review of the 2026 GMC Sierra EV Denali Max Range. We cover claimed range vs real driving, towing and payload, the sheer weight of a big-battery electric pickup, and why missing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a real talking point for buyers.

What does Dolby Atmos actually mean in a car — and why does it matter more in a car than in your living room?In this episode of the evo India Podcast, Karan Grover, Senior Director at Dolby Labs, sits down with executive editor, Aatish Mishra to explain exactly how Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision work in cars, why a car is actually the most perfect listening environment Dolby has ever worked with, and why India is doing things in car audio that have never been done anywhere else in the world.The conversation covers the detail that will stop most people cold: AR Rahman composed 1,100 individual chimes for the Mahindra BE6 and BE9, all mixed in Dolby Atmos — so when a warning sound tells you there is an obstruction on your left, it genuinely comes from your left. That is not a gimmick. That is object-based audio design applied to a car's entire sound ecosystem.Karan explains how Dolby Atmos goes from a recording studio to a streaming platform to your car's speakers, why the car is the only listening environment where every speaker position and every seat position is fixed — which makes it the ideal space for Atmos tuning — and how Mahindra Auto became the first manufacturer in the world to put Dolby Atmos on a 4-channel non-branded speaker setup in the XUV 3XO. Mahindra also pushed Dolby to deliver Atmos on the Thar, previously thought impossible at that speaker configuration. Both were firsts. Both happened in India.The episode also covers the Mercedes-AMG GT63 Electric's synthesized V8 sound and whether it is tuned in Dolby Atmos, how EVs are changing the science of sound design because there is no engine masking the audio environment, why Apple CarPlay supports Atmos playback and what Android's recent update means for wireless Atmos in cars, and where car audio goes from here — including the possibility of film premieres in cars and Dolby Atmos eventually reaching buses, tractors and auto-rickshaws. He also talks about the various cars which have Dolby Atmos like the XUV 7XO, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris, Tata Sierra and more. Dolby currently works with 38 automobile manufacturers and over 150 car nameplates globally.

In Armenien ist Schach weit mehr als nur ein Spiel. Es ist ein Nationalsport und sogar ein obligatorisches Schulfach. Das hängt mit der Schachbegeisterung der Sowjetunion zusammen. Armenien war früher Teil der Sowjetunion, wo Schach als Mittel galt, um die Überlegenheit des eigenen Systems zu demonstrieren. Doch auch nach dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion blieb Schach in Armenien populär. Denn man verspricht sich Grosses davon: Schach soll junge Leute resilienter machen und ihnen zu einer anständigen Karriere verhelfen. Mittlerweile gehört Schach zum nationalen Selbstverständnis in Armenien. Gast: Jana Kehl, Auslandredaktorin Host: Antonia Moser Redaktion: Dominik Schottner In [Janas Reportage aus Armenien](https://www.nzz.ch/international/in-armenien-muessen-alle-kinder-schach-lernen-ld.10003532) kannst du dir die Schach-Szene auch anschauen.

Spanien gilt weltweit als Vorreiter in der Prävention von Femiziden. Ein Grund dafür ist das Warnsystem Viogén. Doch das System hat auch Grenzen: Am 29. Juni 2024 suchen Polizisten in einem kleinen spanischen Dorf nach der 30-Jährigen Amal und ihren zwei Kindern. Als sie gefunden werden, sind alle drei tot. Kurz darauf nimmt die Polizei Amals Ex-Mann fest, den Vater der Kinder. Über Jahre hinweg hatte er seine Frau misshandelt. Amal hatte mehrmals Anzeige gegen ihn erstattet und sich längst von ihm getrennt. Diese Informationen waren bei der Polizei bekannt. Sie werden in ein System namens Viogén eingegeben, das voraussagen soll, wie wahrscheinlich es ist, dass ein Täter erneut gewalttätig wird – und Frauen auf diese Weise besser schützen. NZZ-Auslandredaktorin Julia Monn berichtet von dem Fall und erklärt, wie das Warnsystem Viogén funtioniert.

Nach dem jüngsten Gipfeltreffen mit US-Präsident Donald Trump und Tech-Größen wie Elon Musk oder Jensen Huang zeigt sich auf den Straßen Chinas ein widersprüchliches Bild: Während die einfache Bevölkerung eine große Begeisterung für die westlichen Rockstars der Wirtschaft an den Tag legt, bleibt der erhoffte politische Durchbruch aus. Matthias Kamp berichtet direkt von der Basis über die spürbare Verunsicherung im Land. Die goldenen Zeiten des ständigen Aufstiegs scheinen vorbei zu sein. Junge, gut ausgebildete Chinesinnen und Chinesen finden oft keine passenden Jobs mehr und reagieren mit Resignation oder dem Wunsch nach Auswanderung. Gleichzeitig fließen immense staatliche Gelder in technologische Großprojekte wie autonome Flugtaxis und humanoide Roboter, während die ländliche Bevölkerung im Alter kaum sozial abgesichert ist.

Es ist gerade eine üble Hitze hier in der Chefredaktion von Technikquatsch. Eines Tages wird dieser Text in einem auch im Sommer wohltemperiertem Büro mit guter auf der Nordseite eines gut gedämmten Hauses entstehen. Das ist der Traum. Unsere Gehirne mögen noch so gekocht sein, im Silicon Valley scheint es noch schlimmer zu sein, obwohl dort alles klimatisiert ist. Anders lassen sich die KI-Fantastereien dort nicht mehr erklären. Ok, es gibt andere Erklärungen, die sind aber deutlich weniger schmeichelhaft, aber leider auch wahrscheinlicher. Worauf das abzielt, sind im konkreten Fall die Verschlimmerungen der Google Suche. Microsoft hingegen ist bestrebt, die Integration von KI-Gedöns weniger invasiv zu gestalten. Ob das wirklich bedeutet, dass es weniger davon in Windows geben wird, ist das eine. Offensichtlich soll es nicht mehr direkt in unsere Gesicht gedrückt werden. In Zukunft soll die Copilot-Taste endlich frei belegbar sein. Ein kleiner Gewinn, aber es sind die vielen kleinen Nicklichkeiten, die Windows immer nerviger gemacht haben. Upside-Down-Steve (Hardware Unboxed) hat erneut die AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT gegen die Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti antreten lassen und inzwischen liegen beide Grafikkarten gleich auf. Zu Release war die 9070 XT noch etwa 5-10% hinter der 5070 Ti. Ähnliches ist auch in der aktualisierten Benchmark-Suite von Computerbase zu sehen. Bei einem Preisunterschied von etwa 250 Euro zugunsten der AMD-Karte dürfte die Entscheidung nicht schwer fallen. Viel Spaß mit Folge 308!

Der wöchentliche Podcast [NZZ Geopolitik](https://www.nzz.ch/podcast/geopolitik) ist diesen Sonntag zu Gast hier bei NZZ Akzent. Wenn dir das Format gefällt: Eine neue Folge von NZZ Geopolitik erscheint immer mittwochs auf deiner Lieblingsplattform. Abonnier uns gerne. Und darum geht es diesmal: Der brüchige Waffenstillstand im Krieg gegen den Iran zwingt die Golfstaaten zu einer radikalen Neuausrichtung ihrer Aussen- und Sicherheitspolitik. Nach den iranischen Angriffen auf den strategisch wichtigen Hafen von Fujairah in den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten wird deutlich, dass die traditionelle Pendelpolitik der Golfmonarchien an ihre Grenzen stösst. Das historische Novum, dass das israelische Iron-Dome-System erstmals in einem arabischen Staat zum Einsatz kommt, signalisiert eine tiefgreifende Veränderung der regionalen Dynamiken. Gleichzeitig wächst am Golf die Frustration über den langjährigen Sicherheitsgaranten USA. Die Herrscherhäuser stehen vor der Herausforderung, ihre ambitionierten wirtschaftlichen Modelle und die gesellschaftliche Resilienz in Zeiten kriegerischer Konflikte aufrechterhalten zu müssen. Welche Rolle die Rivalitäten zwischen Abu Dhabi und Riad spielen und warum der opportunistische Pragmatismus der Region dennoch bestehen bleibt, analysiert diese Episode Heutiger Gast: [Dr. Sebastian Sons ](https://carpo-bonn.org/uber-uns/team/team/dr-sebastian-sons) Host: David Vogel Du hast schon ein NZZ-Abo und willst NZZ Pro zusätzlich bekommen.

Kuba steht vor dem energetischen Kollaps. Nach dem US-Embargo und dem Ausbleiben von Treibstofflieferungen aus Venezuela ist das Land fast vollständig lahmgelegt. Der Energieminister gibt offen zu: Es gibt absolut nichts mehr. Die Folge sind Stromausfälle von bis zu 22 Stunden am Tag, die das öffentliche Leben in Havanna und in den Provinzen massiv beeinträchtigen. Doch die Not macht erfinderisch. Immer mehr Kubaner nehmen die Energiewende selbst in die Hand. Vor allem mithilfe von Solarenergie, und mit Hilfe aus China.

Nach nur zwei Jahren im Amt steckt der britische Premierminister Keir Starmer in einer tiefen Krise. Angetreten mit dem Versprechen, das politische Chaos der konservativen Vorgänger zu beenden, gilt der Labour-Chef heute selbst als Sinnbild der Stagnation. Massive Staatsverschuldung, hohe Lebenshaltungskosten und die ungelöste Migrationsfrage belasten das Land. Starmer selbst wirkt führungsschwach und verstrickt sich in politische Kehrtwenden. Während er versucht, den Druck auszusitzen, bringen sich parteiinterne Rivalen bereits für seine Nachfolge in Stellung. Die tiefe Unzufriedenheit der Bevölkerung mit dem politischen Establishment ebnet jedoch einer ganz anderen Kraft den Weg. Nigel Farage mit seiner rechtspopulistischen Partei Reform UK könnte der lachende Dritte sein.

Seit den heftigen Drohungen von Donald Trump, Grönland zu annektieren oder gar zu kaufen, herrscht auf der arktischen Insel ein spürbares Misstrauen gegenüber dem US-Präsidenten. Doch statt einer offenen Konfrontation setzen die USA nun auf diplomatische Gespräche mit Dänemark und Grönland, um ihre militärische Präsenz im strategisch wichtigen Nordatlantik zu erweitern. Die Skandinavien-Korrespondentin Linda Koponen erklärt, warum Dänemark und Grönland trotz dem Vertrauensbruch kaum Nein sagen können und was die Expansion der USA bedeuten könnte.

Wer schon mal gedatet hat, kennt das Gefühl von Unsicherheit und Anspannung. Manche nutzen darum künstliche Intelligenz als persönlichen Dating-Berater. Sie ordnet ein, erkennt Muster und mögliche Red Flags und hilft beim Kommunizieren mit dem Date. Oder doch nicht? Warum vertrauen Menschen einer Maschine ihre intimsten Chatverläufe und Traumata an? Wir begleiten Jana, die nach einer schmerzhaften Trennung bei ChatGPT nach Antworten sucht. Bastian, der nach elf Jahren Beziehung wieder Single ist, lernt durch die KI, Beziehungsdynamiken aus einer neuen Perspektive zu betrachten. Experten warnen jedoch vor blindem Vertrauen: Eine Studie der Uni Stanford belegt, dass Sprachmodelle dazu neigen, uns zu schmeicheln, statt die Realität objektiv abzubilden.

Die Schweiz ist als Reiseziel beliebter denn je, doch der Erfolg hat seine Schattenseiten. In dieser Episode beleuchten wir das wachsende Phänomen des Overtourism und warum in idyllischen Orten wie Grindelwald oder Luzern die Stimmung allmählich kritischer wird. Wenn das Verhältnis zwischen Einwohnern und Übernachtungsgästen extrem auseinanderklafft, entstehen Konflikte, die weit über kleine Ärgernisse hinausgehen. Wir diskutieren über «Benimm-Videos» von Schweiz Tourismus, die Besuchern sanft die hiesigen Gepflogenheiten beibringen sollen, und schauen uns an, warum asiatische Fans einer Netflix-Serie plötzlich ein kleines Dorf am Brienzersee stürmen. Es geht um Drohnenverbote, den Stopp von Hotelbauten und die Frage, ob eine Gebühr von fünf Franken für ein Selfie auf einem Schiffssteg die Lösung für die Zukunft sein kann. Erfahre, wie Gemeinden versuchen, mit Lenkungsmassnahmen die Balance zwischen wirtschaftlicher Wertschöpfung und Lebensqualität zu halten.

Ohrwürmer der Beach Boys gepaart mit Tarnkappenbombern: Im Konflikt zwischen den USA und dem Iran hat sich ein neues, bizarres Schlachtfeld auf den sozialen Medien etabliert. Mit KI-generierten Videos und popkulturellen Referenzen buhlen beide Seiten um die Aufmerksamkeit eines Millionenpublikums. Während das Weisse Haus auf heroische Hollywood-Ästhetik setzt, kontert der Iran mit satirischen Lego-Animationen und eingängigen Rap-Songs, die gezielt westliche Kritik an Donald Trump aufgreifen. Hinter der bunten Fassade steckt eine kalkulierte Strategie zur Beeinflussung der öffentlichen Meinung. Junge Social-Media-Teams nutzen den Algorithmus von TikTok, X und Instagram, um Reichweiten zu generieren, die herkömmliche Nachrichtenformate bei weitem übertreffen. Auch wenn diese digitale Propaganda den physischen Krieg nicht entscheidet, führt der ständige Konsum zu einer gefährlichen Abstumpfung gegenüber kriegerischer Rhetorik und Desinformation.

Die Hochschule wurde 2021 von einflussreichen Konservativen gegründet, zu den wichtigsten Geldgebern gehört der Tech-Milliardär Peter Thiel. Doch der Anspruch der ideologiefreien Bildung gerät zunehmend unter Druck. Kritiker und ehemalige Weggefährten warnen bereits vor einem massiven Rechtsruck innerhalb der Institution. Anstatt den offenen Diskurs zu fördern, scheint die Universität zu einem konservativen Spiegelbild jener Einseitigkeit zu werden, die sie eigentlich bekämpfen wollte.

We walk through the standout properties tied to names fans know, from Kevin Harvick's fortress-like estate to Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Key West pirate paradise, plus the trophy-ready design choices that make a driver's house feel like a personal museum.Then we flip the focus from celebrity real estate to a hands-on electric SUV review with the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV, including the SS trim. We talk design details you'll notice instantly, what options feel overpriced, and the cabin tech that changes the day-to-day experience. One of the biggest conversation starters: the Blazer EV setup with no start button and no stop button, along with GM's move away from Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in favor of an in-house system tied to OnStar.We also get into the EV numbers shoppers care about: a 102 kWh battery, dual motors with all-wheel drive, big horsepower, claimed range, and how real-world efficiency can feel different when you're actually plugging in at home or at work.

Ob skurrile Spermien-Rennen oder virale TikTok-Trends: Die Angst um die männliche Fruchtbarkeit ist in der Mitte der Gesellschaft angekommen. Während Studien vor einem drastischen Rückgang der Spermienqualität durch Umweltgifte und Mikroplastik warnen, mahnen Mediziner zur Differenzierung. Sie sehen die Ursachen oft eher in einem ungesunden Lebensstil, etwa durch Übergewicht, Stress und Rauchen, als in einer unausweichlichen biologischen Apokalypse. Gleichzeitig ist das Thema ein lukrativer Markt für fragwürdige Testosteron-Therapien geworden, die das Problem oft eher verschlimmern als lösen. Hinter dem Hype steckt dabei mehr als nur Medizin: In einer Zeit schwindender traditioneller Rollenbilder suchen viele Männer in ihren Hormonwerten nach Sicherheit und einer Bestätigung ihrer Männlichkeit.

Was wie ein Provisorium klingt, ist die Realität für viele der rund 70.000 Hindus in der Schweiz. Nach einem Brand in ihrem alten Tempel findet die tamilische Gemeinschaft keine neuen Räumlichkeiten mehr. Die Mieten sind zu hoch, die Anforderungen an grosse Feste spezifisch und die Vorurteile bei Vermietern oft gross.

Zwischen Gebet und Geopolitik: Papst Leo XIV. vs. Donald Trump

Rund 10 Tage lang ist Papst Leo XIV. derzeit in Afrika unterwegs, zum ersten Mal in seinem Pontifikat. Doch obwohl der Kontinent mittlerweile mehr Katholiken zählen soll als Europa, so schafft er es bei dieser Reise doch nicht wirklich in den Mittelpunkt. Stattdessen löst der Papst bei einer Predigt in Kamerun einen Zwist mit dem US-Präsidenten Donald Trump aus. Er positioniert sich darin deutlich gegen den Iran-Krieg, warnt vor Tyrannen und verurteilt jene, die Religion als Vorwand für Kriege nutzen. Trump, der vom Papst nicht explizit genannt wird, fühlt sich sogleich angegriffen; er und seine Regierung beschweren sich und schimpfen über die Worte des Papstes. Die Situation eskaliert. In dieser Folge NZZ Akzent analysiert Italien-Korrespondent Luzi Bernet, wie der US-amerikanische Papst die Dynamik zwischen dem Vatikan und Washington grundlegend verändert hat. Und er erklärt, warum auch die italienische Ministerpräsidentin Giorgia Meloni, eigentlich als Trump-Flüsterin bekannt, sich in den Streit einmischen musste - und nun ebenfalls nicht mehr auf Trumps guter Seite zu stehen scheint.

Clay Edwards kicks off the show with a question that instantly hits a nerve with every driver: What's the single most annoying feature on today's vehicles — the default setting you didn't ask for, or that overpriced bells-and-whistles upgrade you never use?   He leads the charge with his #1 hatred: the auto start-stop system that kills the engine at every red light and stop sign. Then the phones light up and the texts flood in as listeners unload. Apple CarPlay hijacking phone calls and blasting them through the speakers at full volume. Radar cruise control that nervously speeds up and slows down in traffic. Lane-keeping alerts and vibrating seats. Blinding headlights that swivel with the steering wheel and light up oncoming drivers like a police spotlight. Auto high beams that flicker like a strobe light. Automatic volume adjustment, displacement-on-demand engines that murder Chevy camshafts, windshield washer fluid that sprays through the wipers instead of on the glass, and a dozen more. Clay weaves in hilarious stories from his years in the car business, generational rants about what “fully loaded” used to mean back in the '80s and '90s (power windows, CD player, and leather — that was it), and plenty of nostalgic memories about learning to drive a stick shift in old trucks with bench seats. Raw, relatable, and laugh-out-loud funny — this is the ultimate group therapy session for anyone who's ever wanted to rip the wiring out of a brand-new vehicle. If you drive anything made in the last ten years, you're gonna be yelling “YES!” at your speakers the whole time.

C'est une nouveauté discrète, mais révélatrice de l'évolution des assistants numériques. Quelques jours après la sortie d'iOS 26.4, OpenAI a déployé une version de ChatGPT compatible avec CarPlay, le système d'Apple qui permet d'afficher certaines applications sur l'écran de la voiture. Concrètement, une nouvelle icône apparaît sur l'interface CarPlay, à condition d'avoir un iPhone à jour et l'application installée. Un simple appui permet de lancer une conversation… mais uniquement à la voix. Aucun clavier, aucun texte affiché : ici, tout passe par l'audio.Ce choix n'est pas anodin. Apple impose des règles strictes pour les applications de cette catégorie. L'interface est standardisée : un indicateur d'écoute, un bouton pour couper le micro, un autre pour mettre fin à la session. Et surtout, aucune réponse écrite ne peut apparaître à l'écran. L'objectif est clair : limiter les distractions au volant. Pour être intégrée à CarPlay, une application doit obtenir une autorisation spécifique, ce qu'on appelle un « entitlement », délivrée par Apple. Elle doit ensuite respecter un cadre très précis. Par exemple, impossible pour ChatGPT de contrôler le véhicule ou même certaines fonctions de l'iPhone. Contrairement à Siri ou aux assistants intégrés par les constructeurs, comme « Hey Mercedes » ou les systèmes embarqués de Renault, ChatGPT reste cantonné à un rôle de réponse vocale.Autre limitation : pas de mot-clé d'activation. Contrairement à « Dis Siri », l'utilisateur doit ouvrir manuellement l'application pour commencer à parler. Apple ne permet pas aux assistants tiers d'écouter en permanence ou de remplacer son propre assistant vocal. OpenAI précise que cet usage est pensé pour des tâches simples et ponctuelles, plutôt que pour des conversations longues ou complexes. Une approche qui rejoint la prudence d'Apple. Dans sa documentation, la marque évoque l'« imprévisibilité » des chatbots, jugée peu compatible avec la conduite. D'autres acteurs, comme Google avec Gemini ou Anthropic avec Claude, pourraient suivre, mais aucune intégration n'a encore été annoncée. Hébergé par Acast.

The cab-forward SUV rides on an 800V architecture with Atlas drive unit motors, a J3400 charging port, and a new centralised electrical architecture designed to cut wiring costs and lower insurance expenses.LUCID SHOWS LUNAR ROBOTAXI CONCEPTLucid unveiled the Lunar, a two-seat robotaxi concept with steer-by-wire, no steering wheel or pedals, and a large central display, built on the same 800V midsize platform as the Cosmos. It targets an impressive 5.5–6 miles per kWh efficiency and DC fast-charging performance of 200+ miles of range in 15 minutes, achieved through aggressive aerodynamic tuning that allows a smaller battery pack.UBER NEARS SECOND LUCID ROBOTAXI DEALUber is finalising a deal with Lucid to deploy its midsize platform as a robotaxi at volumes comparable to the existing 20,000-unit Gravity SUV contract. If confirmed at similar scale, the combined Lucid-Uber robotaxi programme would total roughly 40,000 vehicles across two platforms.RIVIAN R2 TIMELINE TIGHTENSRivian has unveiled the R2 Performance starting at $57,990, but buyers cannot yet configure the car online and reservation holders won't learn their estimated order time until June. This puts Rivian's previously stated Spring delivery window in serious doubt, as orders won't enter production until June at the earliest.POLESTAR 3 ADDS 800V TECH FOR AUSTRALIAPolestar has updated the Polestar 3 with 800V architecture enabling up to 350kW DC fast charging and a 10–80% charge time of just 22 minutes, alongside a new NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin processor replacing the older Xavier chip. The range now spans three trims with battery packs of 92kWh or 106kWh, and existing owners will receive a complimentary hardware retrofit for the upgraded computing platform.STELLANTIS HOLDS TALKS WITH XIAOMI AND XPENGStellantis is in talks with Xiaomi and Xpeng about deals that could include Chinese carmakers taking stakes in Stellantis brands like Maserati and accessing European manufacturing facilities. In return, Stellantis hopes to gain EV and software technology it has struggled to develop competitively, and is also exploring a deeper tie-up with Leapmotor for affordable EVs in Europe.VOLKSWAGEN MISSES EU CO2 TARGET, AVOIDS FINESVolkswagen missed its 2025 EU fleet CO2 target, finishing at 100g/km against its 95g/km limit, despite BEV deliveries rising 32% to nearly 1 million units. The EU's three-year compliance mechanism means no immediate fines, but the group must now meet fleet limits in 2026 and 2027, primarily through an accelerated BEV push built around its Electric Urban Car Family rollout.LEAPMOTOR B10 OTA ADDS ONE-PEDAL DRIVINGLeapmotor pushed a major OTA update to the B10 six months after launch, adding one-pedal driving, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, split-screen navigation, and a Quick Start mode — all without requiring a dealer visit. The update also brings customisable steering wheel shortcut buttons and more natural adaptive cruise control behaviour in bends, with the B10 priced from €33,300.GM BACKS RARE EV1 RESTORATIONGM is actively supporting the restoration of V212, one of the few surviving EV1s, after the car sold at auction for over $100,000 following its discovery in a Georgia impound lot. GM President Mark Reuss invited the restoration team to GM's Global Technical Center, supplying parts and technical documentation, with the goal of completing the project before the EV1's 30th anniversary in November 2026.

The updated model starts at €39,990 in Germany and adds vehicle-to-load charging, refreshed infotainment, expanded driver assistance features, and standard one-pedal driving, though peak DC charging drops from 145 kW to 110 kW.LUCID NAMES MIDSIZE SUVS COSMOS AND EARTHLucid revealed at Investor Day 2026 that its two upcoming midsize electric SUVs will be called Cosmos and Earth, targeting a ~$50,000 starting price and production before end of 2026. Both will use 800V architecture, bidirectional charging, the new in-house Atlas drive unit (23% lighter, 30% fewer parts), and Lucid claims just 69 kWh would be sufficient for 300 miles of range thanks to a 0.22 drag coefficient.LUCID GRAVITY ADDS CARPLAY AND ANDROID AUTOLucid has rolled out an OTA update (UX 3.5) bringing wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the Gravity SUV for North American owners now, with Europe and the Middle East to follow in late March.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1291: An activist investor pushes CarMax to overhaul its digital game, Carvana accelerates same-day delivery into Los Angeles, and Lucid rolls out CarPlay and Android Auto updates while resetting its software strategy. Activist investor Starboard Value is turning up the heat on CarMax's incoming CEO, arguing the used-car giant has plenty of untapped potential, and they've got a $350 million stake to back up that opinion.Starboard sent a letter to CEO-elect Keith Barr calling out CarMax for falling short, and pushing for a streamlined online trade-in process and better digital conversion rates.The firm wants SG&A expenses capped at 70–75% of gross profit, and believes modest price cuts of $100–$300 per vehicle could restore competitiveness.Starboard is also nominating two board members, including its own CEO Jeffrey Smith, signaling this is more than a suggestion.Analysts at Truist agree there's room to improve, but warn that gaining ground on Carvana while cutting costs at the same time won't be easy."If CarMax can get its flywheel moving again as Starboard talked about, then I think the stock would be drastically higher than it is today," said Morningstar analyst David Whiston.Carvana is taking its same-day delivery service to the City of Angels, and if you thought they were already moving fast, Los Angeles is about to find out what that really means.Carvana has rolled out same-day vehicle delivery to the Los Angeles metro area, letting eligible customers go from online checkout to driveway delivery in a matter of hours.Customers looking to sell can also get same-day pickup or drop-off after completing an online appraisal — making the whole transaction, buy or sell, a same-day affair.LA joins Sacramento and San Diego, making California one of the more saturated same-day markets, with Carvana now operating the service across 20 states nationwide.Lucid Motors is delivering some good news to Gravity SUV owners just in time for its investor day.

Send a textTim Seward built a 65 MPH electric moped in his garage to one-up his buddies. People wouldn't stop asking where to buy it. So he started Onyx Motors, raised almost a million bucks on Indiegogo in 3 hours… then sold the company for $1. When his successor died unexpectedly, Tim came back to rebuild from scratch. This is that story.The RCR 80V is a 91-volt electric motorbike that hits 65–75 MPH, goes 130 miles on a charge, runs Apple CarPlay, and costs about 75 cents to charge at home. It's built on a metal tube frame with swappable aluminum panels — designed from day one to be customized, modded, and made your own. Think less iPhone, more Lego kit.Tim breaks down the moped gang culture that started it all, why Americans are 20 years behind the rest of the world on two-wheeled transport, what he learned designing scooters at Bird, and why Gen Z might never buy a car.CHAPTERS0:00 – Cold Open0:00 – Intro: Who is Tim Seward?0:01 – Why Build Something That Lasts?0:03 – Moped Army & Moped Mondays0:05 – Moped Culture: US vs. the World0:07 – The Scooter Armageddon (Bird & South by Southwest)0:09 – Working at Bird & the Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicle0:11 – Red Lights & "It's Not For Sale"0:13 – The Indiegogo Campaign ($920K in Hours)0:15 – Selling Onyx for $10:18 – Losing James & Resurrecting the Brand0:21 – Starting a Company Twice0:22 – The RCR 80V: Size, Speed & Power0:25 – Regulations & Licensing0:26 – Metal vs. Plastic: Design Philosophy0:28 – Built to Customize (Not Lock Down)0:31 – CarPlay, Navigation & Built-In Tech0:33 – Mounting Points, Mods & Steady Garage0:36 – Swappable Panels & Custom Builds0:40 – Favorite Mods: Back to the Future Build0:43 – The $245B Electric Vehicle Market0:46 – Gen Z Doesn't Want Cars0:49 – Park It on the Sidewalk (or Your Desk)0:52 – Speed Modes & Motorcycle Registration0:54 – What's Next for Onyx Motors0:56 – Where to Buy + OutroLINKSOnyx Motors → https://onyxmotors.comOnyx on Instagram → https://instagram.com/onyxmotorsSteady Garage (aftermarket accessories) → https://steadygarage.comOnyx Garage (custom builds gallery) → https://onyxmotors.com/pages/garageClick Here to Subscribe: FUTR.tv focuses on startups, innovation, culture and the business of emerging tech with weekly podcasts talking with Industry leaders and deep thinkers.Occasionally we share links to products we use.

This episode proves that nothing gold can stay, especially your 401k, as we kick things off with the revelation that October saw the worst tech layoffs since 2003, all while "Big Short" genius Michael Burry decided to bet a billion dollars on the inevitable AI bubble bursting. The villains of the week are legion: the FCC is officially making it easier for internet companies to charge us even more hidden fees; Elon Musk not only got his $1 trillion pay package approved—despite Tesla sales collapsing nearly 90% in some countries—but he also teased a flying car, clearly living in his own "Golden Dome" fantasy, which the Pentagon is happily subsidizing; and in a stunning display of entitlement, Mark Zuckerberg opened an illegal school, which is somehow less shocking than Meta's claim that their massive porn stash was purely for "personal use," not AI training. The bad news doesn't stop there, with Texas suing Roblox over 'pixel pedophiles,' though at least a rural Michigan healthcare system is doing some good by using drones to improve care.Jumping over to Media Candy, since we're all emotionally scarred by the sheer awful-ness of The Witcher S4—a season so bad it "broke" The Critical Drinker—we need some comfort viewing. We're deep-diving into the political chess of The Diplomat and escaping into the sheer volume of competitive cooking shows, including the standard Halloween and Holiday Baking Championships, plus the delightfully ridiculous Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking S2; we also took a look at Pluribus, Knife Edge, Black Rabbit, and the trailer for Tron: Ares, while cheering the fact that Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are set to revive The Mummy franchise for a fourth film. In Apps & Doodads, we're all mourning the eventual death of simple, good tech as we're warned to enjoy Apple CarPlay while we still can, but at least the Lego ‘Star Trek' Set is finally here for our inner child; the real question, though, is why Automattic Inc. thinks they can claim ownership of the actual word 'Automatic.'Finally, The Dark Side with Dave Bittner reminds us that everything old is new again and ripe for monetization, whether it's Miss Piggy potentially bringing back The Muppets to the movies or the sleek, blacked-out remake of the Commodore 64, not to mention that cool Tron Arcade Cabinet Miniature Model. However, the present is still a complete dumpster fire: a Google AI model allegedly accused a senator of sexual assault, and internal documents show that Meta is earning a fortune on a massive deluge of fraudulent ads, proving that the only thing getting healthier is our paranoia, though Dave did throw in a curveball with some special jar lids and seeds for growing organic sprouts. We finish, as always, with the obligatory Closing Shout-Outs because even cynical geeks need validation.Sponsors:MasterClass - Get an additional 15% off any annual membership at MASTERCLASS.com/GRUMPYOLDGEEKSGusto - Try Gusto today at gusto.com/grumpy, and get three months free when you run your first payroll.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
