After several weeks of work back at SpaceX’s Starbase rocket factory, the company has transported a new and improved Starship prototype to nearby test and launch facilities, where it joined a similarly upgraded Super Heavy booster.

Tesla China’s Supercharger stations are in some of the most exciting places.…
Range extenders are nothing new, though they typically involve the use of a small internal combustion engine that can help an all-electric vehicle travel farther. Tesla appears to have scoffed at the idea, as the team featured a solar-powered range extender trailer as part of its exhibit at the 2022 IdeenExpo in Hanover, Germany. Held…
While the idea of Tesla entering the mining business is quite exciting, the company would actually prefer it if it did not have to enter the industry.
