The US Air Force seeks to purchase two Tesla Cybertrucks for use as targets in precision munitions testing and training. Citing potential use by adversaries, the Air Force aims to prepare for real-world scenarios involving durable vehicles like the Cybertruck. The trucks will be transported to the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, contributing to the Special Operations Command's Stand Off Precision Guided Munitions program.07 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
A jury found Tesla partially liable in a fatal crash involving Autopilot and awarded $243 million in damages. Evidence showed Tesla withheld critical crash data and misled investigators. Despite knowing the system had limitations, Elon Musk claimed Teslas "can drive themselves." TechDirt highlights this as a dangerous disconnect between Tesla's marketing and reality, raising serious concerns about transparency, safety, and accountability in autonomous vehicle development."07 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
China's dominance in cheap EVs is built on a fragile foundation. An unsustainable price war among 100+ brands, fueled by now-expiring government subsidies, has made most automakers unprofitable. Experts predict a market "implosion," leading to mass bankruptcies and consolidation. While consumers currently benefit from low prices, a massive industry shakeout is expected, leaving only a few strong players standing.06 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Honda is set to unveil its first performance-focused electric motorcycle on September 2, 2025, likely based on its EV Fun Concept seen at EICMA. A teaser video shows a masked prototype with refinements like a rectangular TFT display, single-sided swingarm, and sportbike ergonomics. While Honda hasn't confirmed if it's production-ready, the model is expected to launch later in 2025 as a mid‑size electric sportbike.06 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Congress has shortened the federal EV tax credit window: new vehicle buyers can receive up to $7,500 before the program expires on September 30, 2025, with used EVs eligible for up to $4,000. Additional incentives - including California's Driving Clean Assistance program offering up to $12,000 - can often be stacked to lower costs further. Local agencies like the Community Environmental Council provide personalized support to help residents navigate EV purchase programs."

Infinite Machine, a Brooklyn-based EV startup, unveiled its P1 scooter and Olto moped at EICMA 2025, targeting European urban riders. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Nico Rosberg, the company blends design and performance but has yet to confirm production or deliveries. With prototypes and press buzz, it's not vaporware - but remains unproven. European rollout begins in 2026 via select dealers.

China's rare earth export controls are forcing the West to reshore toxic industries once outsourced. Mining and refining rare earths - essential for EVs and defense - carry major environmental risks. Projects in Nebraska and Wyoming face local opposition over health and pollution concerns. The West must now balance its need for green tech materials with the challenge of minimizing environmental and public health impacts at home. Clean energy, it turns out, has a dirty supply chain.

Toyota's Century project marks a bold leap into ultra-luxury EV territory, challenging Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Cadillac with Japanese craftsmanship and electrified ambition. Once a domestic icon, the Century now signals Toyota's intent to globalize prestige mobility - quietly, deliberately, and with high-voltage precision.

A recent nanoscale physics breakthrough reveals heat can transfer across tiny gaps far more efficiently than expected - up to 100 times greater than classical predictions. This could revolutionize cooling and energy systems in electronics, EVs, and smart appliances. While engineering challenges remain, early applications may emerge within 3-5 years, with broader consumer adoption possible in the next decade. The future of heat management may be silent, solid-state, and radically efficient.

America's energy crunch is not about supply - it's about coordination. Virtual power plants and vehicle-to-grid systems offer a scalable, software-driven solution to rising demand from AI, EVs, and climate volatility. By turning homes, vehicles, and businesses into active grid assets, and aligning policy with technology, the U.S. can build a smarter, more resilient energy future without building more power plants. The tools exist - now it's time to connect them.
