As we head into 2026, electricity grids aren't just under strain; they are facing transformational change because of the shifts in the ways that we work, entertain ourselves, and get around. EVs are one of the fastest-growing new loads on the grid in many parts of the world, but are also one of the least well-understood. They can exhibit flexibility that's mostly going unused today. Millions of EVs are already connected to the grid, and they're being treated as a problem instead of a solution. So how could they be used to ease that strain on electricity grids? What would it look like if we could turn EVs into really useful distributed energy resources (DERs)? Host Ed Crooks welcomes Apoorv Bhargava to the show for the first time. Apoorv is the CEO and co-founder of WeaveGrid, a company aiming to make EVs and other DERs function like dependable infrastructure for distribution grids. It wants provide utilities with trusted, repeatable, edge-level control of assets, rather than occasional, system-level demand response. Apoorv explains how it all works.Apoorv is a former student of regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe, who now teaches at New York University. She joins the show to argue that there is still a great deal of uncertainty around claims of using flexibility to reinforce. It isn't a black-and-white question, she says: flexibility only works when it's engineered, trusted and planned for at the distribution level, not improvised through emergency demand response. Together Ed, Apoorv and Amy debate how EVs and grids might be able to work together in the future, instead of against each other. They discuss consumer behaviour, politics and concerns over rising power bills as factors that will matter just as much as the evolution of the technology. The biggest grid upgrade opportunity may not be new wires, transformers or even power plants: it could be the Tesla, VW or BYD in your driveway.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s now officially 2026, and there are still no arrests in the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, the teenager found dismembered and decomposing in the Tesla owned by singer D4VD back in early August. Despite a few unsubstantiated reports from “police sources” in tabloids, investigators have been radio silent since November when they finally acknowledged the singer was in a romantic relationship with Rivas-Hernandez and is officially a suspect in her death. From the D4vd investigation, to the deaths of Martha Nolan and Anna Kepner, Amy and T.J. will spend this week going over some of the mysterious cases that plagued the headlines in 2025, to see where they are headed in the new year.

The D4VD case just took a massive turn. Sources confirm the grand jury hearing evidence in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez is an indicting grand jury—not merely investigative. Prosecutor Beth Silverman is reportedly seeking murder charges against the 20-year-old singer whose alleged girlfriend's body was found dismembered in his Tesla. Today we cover the latest breaking developments: D4VD's manager Robert Morgenroth testified for days and was overheard saying Silverman was "very pushy" about why he didn't call police. His response? He didn't feel it was his responsibility—his job was to keep the tour going. A female witness failed to appear and now faces arrest via body attachment order. Private investigator Steve Fischer revealed a chainsaw and burn cage incinerator were found inside D4VD's Hollywood rental, both unused—evidence, Fischer says, of a plan that "got upended." We walk through the timeline Fischer has constructed: Celeste was last confirmed alive January 2, 2025. The Tesla was parked in its final spot July 29—the same day D4VD left for tour. The body wasn't discovered until September 8, the day after what would have been Celeste's 15th birthday. D4VD has not been arrested or charged. He remains legally presumed innocent. But with witnesses being compelled to testify, physical evidence mounting, and prosecutors signaling their intent, this case is heading toward a courtroom. We break down what to expect as grand jury proceedings continue into February 2026. #D4VDCase #CelesteRivas #TrueCrimeToday #GrandJuryIndictment #BreakingNews #HollywoodMurder #CelesteRivasUpdate #D4VDNews #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeForCeleste Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ ​Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A grand jury is no longer just gathering evidence—it's preparing to indict. Multiple sources confirm prosecutor Beth Silverman believes D4VD was involved in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose dismembered remains were discovered in the trunk of the singer's Tesla in September 2025. In this episode, we break down the explosive new developments in the D4VD case, including the discovery of an unused chainsaw and a 1,600-degree burn cage incinerator inside the Hollywood Hills home where the artist was living. Private investigator Steve Fischer, hired by the property owner, shares his chilling assessment: "Whatever happened here, this wasn't a finalized plan. She was not meant to be left in that Tesla. The plan got upended." We examine the damning grand jury testimony from D4VD's manager Robert Morgenroth, who reportedly told prosecutors his priority was keeping the tour going—not calling police. We cover the uncooperative female witness facing a body attachment order, the asset transfers D4VD made days after police raided his home, and the timeline Steve Fischer has pieced together showing when Celeste was last seen alive and when the Tesla was parked in its final location. The cause of death remains deferred pending toxicology, but prosecutors aren't waiting. They're building a murder case one witness at a time. D4VD has not been charged and remains presumed innocent, but the direction of this investigation is no longer ambiguous. This is the most comprehensive breakdown of where this case stands as we head into 2026. #D4VD #CelesteRivas #CelesteRivasHernandez #TrueCrime #GrandJury #HollywoodHills #MurderInvestigation #BethSilverman #RobertMorgenroth #HiddenKillers Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ ​Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Elon Musk has stated Tesla's plans to build a chip fab in the US (he's calling it the Tesla Terafab). This has huge implications for the status quo of AI chips, currently dominated by NVIDIA. The whole system of NVIDIA buying chips from TSMC who is buying machines from ASML is very fragile and comes with massive geopolitical risks. Now startups like Substrate and Tesla are challenging this chip paradigm with their own new system. Do you think Tesla and Elon will pull this off to build a chip fab in the US? Then send those chips to Space on a SpaceX rocket? Running xAI models? Will this chalange NVIDIA's dominance?Cyan Bannister post about Substrate and chips: https://www.longjourney.vc/news/cyans...0:00 NVIDIA Is Insanely Profitable3:35 NVIDIA's Suppliers: TSMC & ASML5:45 Cyan Bannister's Blog Post About Chips8:35 Substrate lithography startup9:39 Elon Musk & The Tesla Terafab 13:48 Starcloud, SpaceX IPO & Datacenters in Space19:37 My PredictionsMy X:   / gfilche  HyperChange Patreon :)   / hyperchange   Disclaimer: I'm invested in Tesla & SpaceX and this show is not financial advice.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss the fallout from Waymo's crisis management failure in San Francisco, where a power outage left hundreds of vehicles stranded and blocking intersections throughout the city. Waymo's prolonged silence on the incident and lack of transparency regarding what truly happened could lead to a decline in public trust just as robotaxis begin to scale. Down in Austin, Tesla missed their 2025 driver-out deadline in Austin, prompting Grayson to push his prediction for driver-out/safety attendant out commercial service to late February or early March 2026.Then there is Uber, a company with an ever-changing narrative around autonomy—shifting from demand-generation to hybrid networks, and now claiming mass adoption is still decades away. What will the next narrative be, and will it change once again post-CES?Closing out the show, Grayson and Walt discuss how escalating geopolitical tensions in Venezuela and potential political shifts in the UK could force a hard reset for companies relying on Chinese autonomous technology to scale their robotaxi businesses.Episode Chapters0:00 Lights Out in San Francisco2:44 Why Did Waymo's Freeze When the Power Went Out?8:34 Remote Drivers15:00 Robotaxi in Austin18:33 Scaling Robotaxi 22:48 Autonomous Vehicle Policy24:47 Austin Incident Reports 27:17 Uber's Ever-Changing Narrative 30:31 Miami-Dade Sheriff Deploys Autonomous Patrol Vehicles 32:38 Foreign Autonomy Desk40:26 CESRecorded on Sunday, January 4, 2026 --------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

BYD sold 2.26 million electric vehicles in 2025. Tesla delivered 1.64 million. For the first time on a calendar-year basis, Tesla is no longer the world's largest EV maker. The company Elon Musk dismissed in a 2011 interview now leads the global market by more than 600,000 vehicles. Tesla posted its second consecutive year of declining deliveries amid an aging lineup, political backlash against Musk, and the end of the federal EV tax credit.

Welcome to the first Hot Options Report of 2026! Mark Longo kicks off the new trading year by breaking down a high-volume session where "opening paper" dominated the tape. Despite a respectable 678,000 contracts needed to break the Top 10, the action was concentrated in zero-day expirations (0DTE) and a major shakeup in the EV sector. Market Highlights & The Top 10 Countdown The year started with a bang for semiconductors like Intel and Micron, while Tesla faced a rocky road following disappointing Q4 delivery numbers. We dive deep into the most active options contracts for the following movers: Tesla (TSLA): The undisputed #1. Following soft Q4 delivery data, the stock slipped 2.6%. The tape was lit up by 179,000 of the $440 Puts expiring today. Nvidia (NVDA): Claiming the #2 spot with 2.85M contracts. Investors focused heavily on the $190 Calls, with 347,000 contracts trading as the stock gained 1.25%. Palantir (PLTR): A rough start for PLTR, dropping 5.5%. Unlike the rest of the 0DTE crowd, the hot action here was in the $180 Calls expiring next week. The Semi Surge (INTC, MU, AMD): Intel rallied 6.75%, Micron gained a massive 10.5%, and AMD climbed 4.3%. We break down the heavy call activity in all three. Big Tech (AAPL, AMZN, NFLX): A mixed bag for the giants. Netflix saw a 3% sell-off, while Amazon and Apple both struggled to stay green. Data: TheHotOptionsReport.com Twitter/X: @Options

South Korean supplier L&F announced that its $2.9 billion contract to supply battery materials to Tesla has been written down to just $7,386, a reduction of more than 99 percent. The materials were intended for Tesla's 4680 battery cells, which power the Cybertruck. With the Cybertruck selling at a fraction of its production capacity and the $25,000 Tesla cancelled, the 4680 program that Musk promised would halve battery costs has collapsed.

One corner of the market potentially running out steam: the metals race between silver and gold. Kevin also discusses breaking news in Tesla's (TSLA) deliveries, which fell year-over-year. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

While Andy Swan with LikeFolio notes asymmetrical risk in Tesla (TSLA) due to uncertainty in autonomous driving's future and CEO Elon Musk, he considers the company's outlook excellent. He compares the company's autonomous driving milage outpacing Alphabet's (GOOGL) Waymo as a bullish signal to Tesla's future narrative. Andy explains why the company's outlook is so critical, especially as fourth quarter deliveries underwhelm Wall Street. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Fourth quarter deliveries for Tesla (TSLA) fell under Wall Street's estimates, yet Wall Street doesn't seem to care. Diane King Hall goes over the numbers and explains why investors have their eyes on Tesla's autonomous driving and robotics aspirations instead. On other Mag 7 movers, she turns to Raymond James resuming coverage on Apple (AAPL) with a market perform rating. Diane eyes international movers in ASML Holding (ASML) hitting a 52-week high thanks to Aletheia's double upgrade. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports sales at Tesla fell for a second year in a row.

Health care insurance rates just went up for millions of Americans and you might be surprised at who benefited from the subsidies. This is the Business News Headlines for Friday the 2nd day of January, thanks for listening. In other news, Tesla sales falter for the second year in a row and that pushed the manufacturer out of first place in the EV market. California has a new way to keep batteries out of the landfill. The top executive at Saks is out and why. Another tariff delay and we'll share what happened. Speaking of tariffs a senior Trump Administration just confessed they are a bad idea. We'll check the numbers in The Wall Street Report and the story of a “class divide” when it comes to the airlines.  Let's go. Thanks for listening!

Cybercab's are being spotted all over Austin, Texas and Elon Musk has confirmed that production is starting in April, just 3 months away. Pre-production models are being seen at an increasing rate as Tesla gets ready to launch its newest vehicle. Purpose built for self-driving, the Cybercab will have no wheels and operate on Tesla's Robotaxi network. All Tesla investors are watching the growth of Robotaxi. Some think there will be tens of thousands of vehicles in the fleet by Q4 2026, others (like myself) think the rollout will be slower and more methodical.Comment your predictions on Tesla's Robotaxi/Cybercab rollout for 2026!!My X:   / gfilche  HyperChange Patreon :)   / hyperchange   Disclaimer: I'm long Tesla stock, this show is not financial advice.

On today's episode, we discuss a year‑in‑review of 2025's biggest tech and security stories, starting with the deadly New Orleans vehicle attack that exposed how a flawed “smart” bollard design and lost emergency planning turned Mardi Gras beads into a fatal infrastructure failure. From there, the crew revisits suspected CIA involvement in the Baltimore ship‑strike incident, the growing use of autonomous weapons and drone warfare, and whether a hyper‑militarized approach to every crisis is erasing the old line between war and peace under President Trump. They also dig into Elon Musk's expanding tech empire—Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, Optimus robots, and now custom AI chips to challenge NVIDIA—arguing that control of compute, satellites, and data pipelines may matter more than any single gadget. Finally, they look ahead to 2026, warning that AI‑driven surveillance, cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, and increasingly centralized platforms will keep raising the stakes for ordinary users who just want reliable cars, secure networks, and tools they can actually trust. Don't miss it!

More fun stats - A peer?reviewed 2025 study estimates AI data centers (including indirect usage from electricity generation) consumed 312–765 billion liters of water annually. That's more than all bottled water consumed worldwide each year - Direct (on-site) water is used for cooling servers via systems like cooling towers or liquid loops. Indirect (off-site) water stems from electricity generation—particularly from thermal and nuclear plants, which require significant cooling resources - ??? Estimates suggest a single standard AI prompt (about 100 words) is linked to around 1.5 liters of water—accounting for the entire chain of consumption. (This is total usage from cooling powr consumption, electricity generation) - Global AI workloads consumed 50–60 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2025—roughly the annual electricity use of a medium-sized country like Switzerland. - By 2030, AI-related electricity demand could reach 300–500 TWh annually, according to energy analysts—comparable to the entire electricity consumption of countries like France.

End of Year Stat - The U.S. national debt is climbing at a rapid pace and has shown no signs of slowing down despite the growing criticism of massive levels of government spending. - The national debt, which measures what the U.S. owes its creditors, rose to $38,386,384,190,622.68 as of Dec. 30, according to the latest numbers published by the Treasury Department. - That is an increase of about $5.8 billion daily - ~$18 per person in the US per day increase ($7,300) - or about the monthly price of leasing a small Mercedes - Each person in US owes approx $128,000 Love the Show?
