Tesla told a Quebec court that car fires are “generally” caused by misuse or vandalism. The judge didn’t buy it, and Tesla Canada now has to cover the C$161,700 an insurer paid out for a Model X that burned in Montreal. An expert report traced the fire to an electrical failure in the dashboard of the 2020 Model X, which was still under Tesla’s warranty. Tesla offered no data to support its theory, and the court called it out for that. more…

President Lee Jae Myung ordered the authorities Monday to respond sternly to allegations that a car battery manufacturer duped its workers into getting shots to discharge heavy metals from their bodies in order to cover up dangerous levels of lead in its production line, his spokesperson said. According to a news report, DN Automotive, a major local car battery manufacturer, tricked workers at its plant in the southeastern city of Ulsan into getting the shots multiple times by disguising them as "vitamin injections" ahead of their medical exams. Lee was briefed on the labor ministry's recent decision to refer the company to the police for investigation, and strongly rebuked the government over the fact that the company had passed a work environment assessment even after five times the allowed level of lead was found in its production process, according to his spokesperson Kang Yu-jung. "President Lee said it was an unacceptable and grave human rights violation that a company, which

arXiv:2610.06881v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, a comparative review of different hybrid models for short-term forecasting of building thermal demand is carried out. Particularly, the assessment tackles the comparison of data-driven models enhanced with other state-of-the-art techniques. At the first step, the existing techniques reported in the literature are analysed. It is concluded that Metaheuristics or a data-driven model are used to identify the parameters of the basic model. The qualitative evaluation includes for each method the input and output features, main advantages and drawbacks. At the second step, an existing dataset of historical thermal demand from Scottish households, as well as historical weather forecasts are utilized to assess additionally the performance of existing hybrid methods. From the assessment of 13 hybrid methods, the Empirical Modal Decomposition - long short-term memory - Markov (EMD-LSTM-Markov) model can predict with the highest
