The sale concludes a once‑promising venture, though a new owner could yet revive the innovative brand.   Pakistan's fake “graphene” batteries issue   About 90% of Pakistan's e‑bikes reportedly use mislabeled lead‑acid “graphene” batteries, undermining EV subsidy goals. Industry leaders are urging the government to shift incentives toward true lithium‑ion systems for quality and consumer protection.

Apple Vision Pro rumored to leverage cutting-edge 2nm process with new R2 chiphttps://appleinsider.com/articles/25/09/18/apple-vision-pro-rumored-to-leverage-cutting-edge-2nm-process-with-new-r2-chipApple is reportedly preparing a new R2 co-processor for a future Vision Pro model, built on TSMC's 2nm process. This would be a first for Apple's headset line, positioning Vision Pro as a showcase for Apple's most advanced silicon. The R2 chip is expected to deliver significant improvements in latency, thermal efficiency, and overall performance.Why it mattersPerformance leap: The R2's move to 2nm could allow smoother passthrough, faster sensor fusion, and better hand/eye tracking stability.Battery & heat: Improved performance-per-watt means cooler operation and extended battery life—key factors for headset comfort.Ecosystem signal: Apple investing its most advanced chip process in Vision Pro underscores long-term commitment to spatial computing.Key detailsCurrent baseline: Vision Pro pairs an M2 for apps with an R1 for real-time sensor data. The R1 delivers ~12ms photon-to-photon latency.Next-gen rumor: R2 would supersede R1, likely debuting around 2026, with a 2nm fabrication node.What's new for users & developersFor users: Potentially longer wear sessions with less heat and jitter, moving Vision Pro beyond demo use into all-day practicality.For developers: More compute headroom for richer apps, higher fidelity passthrough, and expanded spatial workflows.For the ecosystem: If Vision Pro becomes the platform where Apple debuts its most advanced silicon, refresh cycles may accelerate.Industry contextApple's silicon play: Historically, Apple has reserved new process nodes for iPhone or Mac chips. Shifting that to Vision Pro signals strategic priority.Timeline watch: Analysts expect R2 to arrive in 2026 hardware, though specifics on product naming (Vision Pro 2 vs. refresh) remain unclear.The R2 chip could unlock comfort and practicality for extended wear, making Vision Pro more than a short-session device.ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comThePodTalk.NetYouTube.com/@VisionProFiles

Just when we thought we found all the actors who've played Darth Vader, another emerges. Tom Bewley was the first actor to portray the Dark Lord of the Sith on screen after Return of the Jedi. He appeared in the Frank Oz-directed 1985 film, The Indian in the Cupboard. In his very first podcast interview, Tom opens up with never-before-heard stories from behind the mask. He shares what it was like stepping into Vader's boots for The Indian in the Cupboard, his duel with the Energizer Bunny in a now-legendary commercial, memories from the Star Wars 10th Anniversary convention preshow with George Lucas, and plenty more surprises. TODAY in Star Wars History 9/16/1977 48 years ago... ABC aired The Making of Star Wars as Told by C-3PO and R2-D2, an hour-long special hosted by R2-D2 and Anthony Daniels as C-3PO. Coming in the same month as Donny & Marie, Richard Pryor, and Saturday morning Star Wars previews, the special stood out by placing R2 and 3PO in a futuristic Star Wars setting to share behind-the-scenes stories. It was a clever move—fans didn't have to wait for The Empire Strikes Back to get “new” Star Wars, all thanks to Charlie Lippincott's promotional vision.

RIVIAN BREAKS GROUND ON GEORGIA PLANT Rivian has started building a $5 billion EV plant in Georgia, aiming for 200,000 vehicles yearly by 2028, unaffected by the discontinuation of federal EV tax credits. The facility will support scale and lower costs for new models like the R2, following Tesla's profitability playbook as Rivian moves into higher-volume, lower-priced vehicles. RENAULT 4 EV GETS A CARGO VAN VARIANT Renault's new electric 4 is now offered as a cargo van with a load capacity of 1,045 litres and up to 254 miles of range, priced in France from €29,300 before VAT. The conversion is managed in-house by Renault at its Maubeuge plant, with multiple battery and power options for commercial customers. UK GEELY EX5 CUSTOMERS GET FREE ANDERSEN A3 HOME CHARGER INSTALLED Geely will provide buyers of the all-electric EX5 a free Andersen A3 home charger, featuring unique design and smart charging integration, for orders placed before October 23, 2025. The charger, which includes full installation and a seven-year warranty, is compatible with solar power and smart charging tariffs. GAC AION V APPROVED FOR AUSTRALIA Chinese automaker GAC's Aion V electric SUV has been cleared for sale in Australia, featuring a 75 kWh LFP battery for up to 374 miles of range and fast charging from 30% to 80% in 16 minutes. Pricing will start below $45,000 AUD, with deliveries and detailed specs announced closer to launch. TESLA MELBOURNE FSD TEST WAS NOT APPROVED Victorian authorities confirmed Tesla was not authorized to test "Full Self-Driving" on Melbourne's public roads after a viral video showed a Model Y performing an autonomous hook turn in the city center. Tesla says FSD is driver-supervised and not yet legal for autonomous use in Australia, where regulatory permits are required for such trials. TESLA ADDS 7‑YEAR WARRANTY TO SOME PARTS Tesla's 2026 model year vehicles in the US and Canada now carry a “High-Priced Propulsion-Related Part Warranty,” giving seven years' coverage for key electrical components like the power conversion system and high-voltage parts. This new warranty is separate from existing battery and drive unit terms, aimed at lowering costly repair risk for buyers. NHTSA OPENS PROBE INTO 2021 TESLA MODEL Y DOORS U.S. safety regulators have launched a probe into 174,000 Model Y vehicles from 2021 after reports the electronic door handles could fail, potentially trapping children inside. Preliminary findings suggest the issue is linked to low-voltage battery problems, and several parents broke windows to access their children during incidents. SUZUKI LAUNCHES E VITARA EV IN JAPAN IN JANUARY Suzuki's first battery-electric car, the e Vitara SUV, will go on sale in Japan in January 2026, produced in India for export and offering 267 miles per charge at around $27,000. It represents Suzuki's major push into global EVs with significant investments and ambitions for high-volume exports. ID. TOUAREG COULD BE THE FIRST SSP MODEL Volkswagen may transform its Touareg into the first fully electric SSP platform model, with combustion production ending in 2026 and SSP assembly possibly starting in Bratislava by 2029. The SSP platform promises cost savings and fast charging, with VW's wider rollout across brands and models to follow. VOLKSWAGEN DROPS FLUSH DOOR HANDLES FOR FUNCTION Volkswagen will move away from flush-mounted door handles in favor of traditional grab handles in response to customer frustration, as outlined by the brand's CEO at IAA Mobility. The company's next-gen ID. models will prioritize practicality to appeal to mainstream buyers over early adopters. NISSAN CUTS NEW LEAF OUTPUT OVER BATTERY SHORTAGE Nissan has halved production plans for its new Leaf due to shortfalls in battery supply, with revised output at the Tochigi plant being several thousand lower per month. The cutback delays a key launch for Nissan, which is betting on the new Leaf to reinvigorate its lagging EV business.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Mark Heywood about a health system so deeply riddled with corruption that it has even cost the lives of courageous whistleblowers like Babita Deokaran. From the R2-billion wasted on failed alternative building technology hospitals, to the “fogging” scandals, the R500-million blown on revamping a hospital in Carletonville, and the shocking Covid-19 PPE heists, the Gauteng Department of Social Development stands at the center of public outrage. Heywood unpacks how theft, mismanagement, and impunity continue to undermine healthcare delivery and betray the trust of ordinary South Africans. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Magna Mining's CEO Jason Jessup joins MSD today for his corporate commentary on this morning's drill results out of the Levack Mine. The company drilled into the R2 system, underneath known mineralization encountered earlier this summer. The results returned high-grade base and precious metals which are moving the stock into new all-time high territory.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Nico Muller, CEO of Impala Platinum, about the miner’s half-year results. Despite a 70% plunge in annual profit, driven by weak metal prices and lower production, the company has restored dividend payments. Impala reported headline earnings of R732 million for the year to June 30, compared to R2.4 billion a year earlier.

The 2025 Genesis G90 3.5T E-Supercharged AWD takes center stage in this week's lead road test. As the flagship sedan from Hyundai's luxury division, the G90 proves Genesis is no longer chasing the German elite; it's expecting to compete head-to-head. Powered by a twin-turbo V6 paired with an electric supercharger, the G90 delivers 409 horsepower and refined acceleration with zero turbo lag — because it doesn't have a turbocharger. Instead, its cleverly named mild-hybrid system gives the luxosedan an added boost. Inside, it's a rolling sanctuary, offering ventilated and massaging seats front and rear, dual rear entertainment screens, and a concert-level 23-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system. Wrapped in elegant, understated design, and priced at $101,750, Host Jack Nerad notes it undercuts competitors like the Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7 Series by tens of thousands while approaching them in tech, comfort, and craftsmanship. But is it ready to compete against the elite on an equal basis? Jack and co-host Chris Teague will deliver their opinions Also in the spotlight, Chris Teague tests the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning, which returns with updated software, improved range, and more efficient battery use. As America's best-selling electric pickup, the Lightning now features Ford's latest digital tools, including Google Built-In integration and enhanced towing tech. With multiple range options and fleet-ready solutions, Ford is positioning the Lightning as an evolving platform for work and lifestyle. The ride is smoother than ever, thanks to suspension refinements, and new accessories broaden its use case beyond construction sites. For anyone who's still skeptical of electric trucks, the F-150 Lightning might well chip away at the objections. Our special guest this week is Meghan Giammarusti, Design Director at Ford Motor Company, who joins Jack to talk about the revamped technology package inside the 2025 Ford Expedition. With Google Built-In leading the charge, the Expedition's cabin becomes a more connected, intuitive environment than ever before. Giammarusti explains how Ford's design team worked to integrate high-function tech while preserving a clean, family-friendly interior layout. Her insights reveal the future of infotainment design at Ford, detailing how tech and design must evolve together. Driving News This Week Tesla Expands in China with 6-Seat Model Y L Tesla just debuted the Model Y L, a stretched, six-seat version of its popular SUV designed specifically for the Chinese market. It adds a third row and sports a purported 467 miles of range as Tesla tries to fend off rising competition from local Chinese EV makers like BYD. 2026 Acura Integra Gets a High-Tech Refresh Acura's bestselling compact sedan gets new colors, bigger screens, and more premium features across all trims for the new model year. The A-Spec versions are particularly bold, with blue microsuede inserts, upgraded ambient lighting, and a more aggressive body kit. California Commits $55M to Fast EV Charging
 California is investing $55 million to expand fast-charging infrastructure across the state, making the odd decision to focus on low-income, “underserved” communities. The Fast Charge California Project provides up to $100K per charging port, aiming to accelerate zero-emission adoption before the state's controversial 2035's gas vehicle sales ban. Rivian Reboots $5 Billion Georgia Plant After delays, Rivian is moving forward with its massive EV factory outside Atlanta, backed by a $6.6 billion federal loan. The facility, expected to open in 2028, will build Rivian's upcoming R2 crossover and create 7,500 jobs. Listener Question We wrap the episode with a listener question from Willie in Pacoima, CA: “Gas is really expensive here, and it's killing me. Is there a way I can boost fuel economy without changing how I drive?” Chris and Jack tackle this one head-on, with realistic tips that won't require hypermiling or a ne...

“Standards are a way to separate out those who say they do the right things from those who actually do them,” says Jeff Seibert, Chief Provocateur at SERI. In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Publisher Doug Green interviews Seibert about SERI's mission, the role of the R2 standard in responsible electronics reuse and recycling, and the upcoming eSummit 2025, taking place September 8–11 in Minneapolis. Seibert explains that SERI, a global nonprofit, is focused on driving sustainable electronics practices through initiatives like R2, the Electronics Impact (EI) standard, and convening industry stakeholders at eSummit. Unlike most conferences that focus narrowly on one part of the value chain, eSummit 2025 aims to bring together the entire electronics ecosystem—from designers to ITADs to recyclers—sparking unique, cross-disciplinary conversations. The event features four days of packed programming: facility tours (including an ASCDI member tour), an expo hall with solution providers, industry awards, interactive workshops, and thought leadership sessions addressing both immediate operational challenges and long-term strategic goals. Pre-conference pricing and ASCDI member discounts are available through August 27. For more information, visit SERI's website or explore details about ASCDI's member tour at eSummit 2025.

Bongani speaks to Adri Williams, Co-Founder and Partner at Khayelitsha Cookies, about her bold decision to buy a failing township bakery for just R1 — along with its R2.5 million debt. What followed was a remarkable turnaround: the business now produces tens of thousands of cookies daily, employs dozens of women, and has become a model for social entrepreneurship. Williams explains how they empower non-literate women with baking and management skills, offer equity through a worker trust, and maintain a human touch in a competitive cookie industry. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1092: We unpack how Rivian views legacy OEMs as “adversaries”, Elon's plan to put Grok in your Tesla, and why your next Starbucks smiley face might be powered by pressure, not personality.Show Notes with links:​​Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe came out swinging against recent federal policy changes that gut EV incentives. But while the industry might stall, Rivian could gain room to thrive as legacy players backpedal.Scaringe called the rollback of EV tax credits and subsidies “bad for the world, bad for the U.S.,” and a blow to U.S. tech leadership.Ironically, fewer incentives could benefit Rivian, opening space for it's R2 and R3 rollouts.Scaringe didn't blame Congress alone—he sees legacy automakers like GM and Toyota, and their lobbyists, as Rivian's “biggest adversaries” on everything from EV registration fees to direct sales bans.He accused them of resisting change to protect outdated business models: “It's reflective of their desire that this whole EV thing would just go away. [They can suddenly say], “fine, I just won't sell those EVs.”“The folks we spend the most energy fighting against in D.C. are actual car companies,” Scaringe said. “It's very telling.”Elon Musk has confirmed that Tesla vehicles will get a native dose of his irreverent AI chatbot, Grok, starting next week “at the latest,” merging Tesla's in-car computing power with conversational AI.Grok 4, the latest model from Musk's AI startup xAI, was just released.Tesla vehicles will run a smaller version of Grok locally using their onboard computers.Musk previously teased Grok integration but had not set a firm timeline—until now.This comes amid backlash after Grok shared posts on X containing antisemitic content.“Tesla will probably have the most amount of true usable inference compute on Earth,” Musk posted on X.Those cheerful messages on your Starbucks cup might not be as heartfelt as they seem. A push for personalized notes is raising questions about authenticity and pressure on baristas.New CEO Brian Niccol wants to bring back cozy, in-store vibes by reversing mobile-heavy trends.Cup messages are now a “standard” meant to create human connection—but not all employees are thrilled.Baristas say it slows them down, especially during rush hours, and some report pressure from managers to comply.A few enjoy the creativity, but many feel it's another task disguised as joy.One Redditor shared, “I was told I'd get a final warning if I didn't write on cups.” Starbucks disputes this claim.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:01 What a sarcastic car might sound like1:55 Announcements2:20 Rivian CEO Goes After Legacy Automakers and US Tax Policies6:35 Tesla To Get Grok AI Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Forensic consultant Paul Sippil explains little-known costs for business owners and plan participants and what you can do about them. When it comes to retirement planning, one of the most overlooked areas is the cost hiding within your 401(k) plan. I sat down with Paul Sippil, a forensic 401(k) consultant, in this week's episode of the Retirement Revealed podcast. For the last 20 years, Paul has been helping employers and plan participants understand the full picture of what a 401(k) really costs–and most importantly, what you can do about it. What we revealed may surprise you: many of the fees you could be paying are seemingly invisible, unspoken, and quietly leaving your retirement savings. Your 401(k) Isn't "Free" One of the most common phrases Paul hears when talking with business owners and plan participants is: “I'm not paying anything.” And technically, they're not—at least not directly. That's because 401(k) fees often don't show up on an invoice. Instead, they're extracted from participant accounts through asset-based fees, commissions, and revenue sharing agreements that most people never even notice. Here's the reality: if you're in a 401(k), especially with a small to mid-sized employer, you could be overpaying. And no one may be telling you. The Bigger the Balance, the Bigger the Fee Many 401(k) service providers charge asset-based fees, meaning the more money you have in the plan, the more you pay—even if the services don't change. That fee structure hits high-balance employees (often business owners or long-time participants) the hardest. For example, if your plan has $3 million in assets and your advisor is receiving 0.75% annually, that's $22,500 per year in compensation—whether or not they're actively helping you. Would you pay that if you received an invoice in the mail? However, when the fee is simply deducted from your account through share class expense ratios or revenue sharing, many people never realize it. Small Plans, Big Problems If you work at or own a small business with under 100 employees, your per-participant fees are likely much higher than those in larger plans. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, large plans (those with over $100 million) can be up to 50% cheaper in relative costs. Smaller plans are often stuck with higher costs and less transparency. How to Spot the Hidden Fees Finding these costs isn't easy, but there are tools: Form 5500: This publicly available tax form (found at www.efast.dol.gov) details plan costs and fund options for plans with over 100 participants. Review Share Classes: Funds come in multiple share classes. Some, like “R2,” may carry hefty embedded commissions. Ask your provider if lower-cost versions like “R6” are available. Watch for “Revenue Sharing”: This outdated and opaque compensation method allows brokers and recordkeepers to collect fees without ever issuing a bill. Why Transparency Matters Paul made an interesting point: if employers were required to write a check for 401(k) services as opposed to having the fees quietly and automatically withdrawn, he believes the plan-holders and business owners would actually negotiate those fees, thus resulting in lowered costs. But the industry thrives on invisibility—making it hard for both employers and employees to question or benchmark what they're paying. That's why we suggest a simple test: If your financial advisor can't clearly explain what they're being paid and what you're getting in return, it's time to ask better questions and evaluate your options. Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts (SDBA) If your current 401(k) doesn't offer the investment options you want, ask your employer about adding a Self-Directed Brokerage Account. This feature allows you to invest in a wider range of funds—including ETFs and commodities—that may not be available in your default menu. Not every provider offers this, but it's worth requesting.

Join AEA founder John Kempf for Field Talks, a series of in-the-field conversations. This episode features Cole Neese, a corn and soybean grower in Indiana. Together, they explore real-time agronomic insights, crop progress, challenges, and success stories from the growing season. In this episode, John and Cole Neese, a farmer from West Central Indiana, discuss: Excessive Rainfall Challenges: Cole faced persistent wet conditions, saturating soils and delaying corn and soybean emergence. Success with Accelerate on Soybeans: Applying Accelerate at R2 increased soybean pod counts by 50-80%, though drought later limited yields. BioCoat Gold in Stressed Conditions: BioCoat Gold significantly improved corn performance in a late-planted, highly stressed field with low yields, likely due to enhanced mycorrhizae activity. Improved Soybean Pod Integrity: Regenerative soybeans showed stronger pods, resisting shattering during harvest, likely due to enhanced cobalt and copper levels.  About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

Here's what got us asking “what's the plan, Alderaan”. Maybe you've heard it before : “I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.” Okay but what was the plan here? And then what was the original plan before that plan?
