Rivian doesn't have a single dealership, which raises an obvious question for anyone shopping around: how do you take one for a spin? Here's your answer.

Tesla plans to wind down Cybertruck production in Texas around mid-2027. One owner who picked up his truck in February 2024 says it has 60,000 miles and is staying. Tesla promises parts and service. Warranty mileage is a separate question.

Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas gigafactory around mid-2027, CEO Elon Musk said on Friday, after years of persistently weak sales for a futuristic model once touted as a rival to legacy pickup trucks. The move is a major retreat from what has been one of Musk's pet projects. In an X post, Musk said the wind-down would let Tesla make more of the Cybercab, a robotaxi he has made central to the automaker's autonomous-vehicle ambitions, but one that has yet to prove itself commercially. The announcement comes at the end of a bruising week for Musk, as his record political spending of nearly half a billion dollars yielded little in Tuesday's U.S. midterm elections, with the vast majority of the Republican candidates he backed losing their races. Combined, his companies were on track to lose more than $180 billion in market capitalization for the week. While it was not immediately clear whether Cybertruck production would be moved to another facility or phased out

Tesla would wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas gigafactory around mid-2027, CEO Elon Musk said on Friday, after years of persistently weak sales for a futuristic model once touted as a rival to legacy pickup trucks that ultimately only sold in just a handful of markets because of its heavy, angular design. Musk said in an X post the production wind-down would enable the carmaker to accommodate increased output of its newly launched Cybercab model, which the billionaire has made central...

Tesla is ending Cybertruck production. CEO Elon Musk announced early Friday that the automaker will “wind down” the electric pickup at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of 2027, about three and a half years after the first deliveries. Musk says it’s to make room for more Cybercab production. But Giga Texas isn’t short on space. The Cybertruck is short on buyers, and it sells at roughly a tenth of the 250,000 units a year Tesla built its line for. more…

arXiv:2610.35658v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Aviation authorities hold decades of accident reports whose narratives record how investigators reconstructed each accident. Computational work on these archives has mostly sorted reports into fixed taxonomies. In this work, we propose a hybrid framework in which a text-based corpus identifies the leading factors of a failure mode. Physics-based models then quantify how likely that failure is at a stated operating point. Ordered causal chains extracted from 56{,}202 American accident reports with a local large language model aggregate into a causation knowledge graph. On an evaluation sample of 2{,}000 reports, the chains recover 90.8\% of investigator-flagged causes. Each physical factor whose drivers the record carries receives an occurrence model calibrated to the accident population. A leaky noisy-OR fitted to the corpus combines the factors into a failure mode probability that supports intervention. For engine power loss, the

arXiv:2611.06143v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Segment Anything Model 3 (SAM 3) can segment objects from text prompts and track them across video, but its memory and computation costs make deployment difficult. Post-training quantization (PTQ) reduces these costs by using fewer bits. However, a quantized model can select the wrong object or lose track of its target across frames. We call this prompt-alignment drift. Controlled tests show that perturbing low-variance feature directions strongly affects target selection. We propose Semantics-Preserving Quantization (SPQ), which gives more calibration weight to concept-sensitive parameters, preserves residual features, and corrects the mean error in video memory. Fixed text concepts guide calibration without task annotations. All three components operate offline and add no inference operators. With a W4A8 image encoder, SPQ improves RefCOCO Pr@0.5 from 42.1 to 72.5 over PTQ4SAM while retaining 54.8 COCO mask AP. Experiments on LVIS,

Sales of imported vehicles in Korea rose a sharp 29.3 percent in October from a year earlier, driven by robust demand for electric vehicles (EVs), industry data showed Wednesday. New registrations increased to 31,117 units last month from 24,064 a year earlier, according to the Korea Automobile Importers & Distributors Association (KAIDA). The three top-selling imported cars were the Tesla Model Y Premium, Mercedes-Benz E200 and Tesla Model 3. The two Tesla models are manufactured in China for the Korean market, allowing the company to offer them at competitive prices. Tesla's sales more than doubled to 9,165 units last month from 4,350 a year earlier. However, its sales fell 25.9 percent from the previous month due to supply shortages, KAIDA said. The U.S. EV maker remained the best-selling imported passenger car brand in Korea for the ninth consecutive month, extending its run since February. Sales by BYD Korea, the local unit of China's BYD, surged 93.4 percent to 1,594 units from
