SpaceX is been working on various prototypes of its Starship spacecraft, and some have ended in spectacular failure. However, SpaceX has worked most of the bugs out of Starship and has announced that its first orbital test flight could happen in November. Word of the potential orbital test flight came from CEO Elon Musk. Musk tweeted on October 22 if … Continue reading
Bad news for anyone who’s been saving up to buy themselves a brand-new Tesla electric vehicle has surfaced. Tesla’s website was updated late Friday night to reflect significant price increases for multiple vehicles. The price increases range from an additional $2000 on the MSRP for the Model Y Long Range and the Model 3 Standard Range+ to $5000 on higher-end … Continue reading
British grocery shoppers have had more than a few headaches this weekend. According to The Guardian, the grocery chain Tesco has grappled with a roughly two-day outage (as of this writing) preventing customers from placing or modifying orders through either the company’s website or its mobile app. The company pinned the incident on hacks affecting searches, although it didn’t say much beyond noting the intruders tried to “interfere with our systems.”
The company didn’t have an estimated time frame for a fix, and didn’t identify the potential culprits. However, it said there was “no reason to believe” the cyberattack affected customer data.
This isn’t the first time Tesco has suffered hacks. A 2014 breach led it to disable accounts after intruders shared more than 2,000 users’ login details. In 2016, an attack on Tesco’s banking lost about £2.5 million (worth $3.4 million today).
Whoever was responsible, the incident further highlights the vulnerability of food supply chains to cyberattacks. Meat supplier JBS was one of the most prominent victims after it fell prey to ransomware, but grocery stores themselves are also at risk of disruptions that could limit deliveries and otherwise stop meals from reaching your table.
When Marvel’s Hawkeye releases in exactly one month, Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton’s going to be having a lot of problems. Trying to go back to his family after he went on that murder spree in Avengers: Endgame, things take a turn for the even worse when Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop shows up with some pretty good…
“He did not maintain a safe working environment,” said a prop maker who worked with Dave Halls in 2019.
Anyone who has ever leased a vehicle knows that often lease payments are significantly lower than payments when you purchase a vehicle outright. However, a lot goes into figuring how much a lease will cost per month, and one of the key metrics is something called the residual. Residual has to do with how much value is left in the … Continue reading
Tesla is no stranger to raising prices for its EVs, but its latest round has been more aggressive than most. Electreknotes Tesla has hiked prices for all four of its in-production vehicles in the past two days. The base Model 3 and Model Y variants now cost $2,000 more, and respectively start at $43,990 and $56,990. Spring for the Model S and Model X, meanwhile, and you’ll pay $5,000 more at respective prices of $94,990 and $104,990.
You’ll have to wait a long time for your order, too. The entry Model 3 arrives in June 2022 with larger wheels, and September in a regular configuration. The Model Y arrives one month earlier in both cases. You’ll have to wait until June for a Model S, and the Model X doesn’t appear until September.
As is often the case, Tesla hasn’t explained the price increases. Production woes might play a significant role, mind you. Tesla idled Model S production for the first half of 2021, and the automaker is grappling with supply shortages that aren’t helped by increasing demand. The higher prices could offset the impact of shortages on Tesla’s bottom line, amd help Tesla catch up by cooling demand.
Though Denis Villeneuve’s Dune is about Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides’ gradual rise to prominence in the galaxy, none of it would be possible without his mother, Lady Jessica. Played by Rebecca Ferguson, Jessica is the lover of Duke Leto (Oscar Isaac) and more importantly, the member of an order of witches known…
The idea of an autonomous taxi is something many automakers and autonomous technology researchers are working towards. In many large urban areas, a primary mode of transportation for citizens are taxis and public transport. The huge number of taxis in some areas creates significant amounts of traffic and accidents as humans aren’t as focused and don’t pay attention as well … Continue reading
I could spend twelve paragraphs talking about BMW’s grille-of-the-moment, but it all really boils down to whether or not you like the 2021 M440i Convertible’s outsized snout and – should you not – if the fact you don’t see it while you’re driving is sufficient aesthetic distance. Time has blunted some of the shock & awe of the 4-Series’ fascia, … Continue reading
