Elon goes to war, Model Y refresh, EV deals, and electric NASCAR

On at present’s episode of Fast Cost, we ask: What does struggle appear like to somebody who “narrowly avoided” army conscription in South Africa? Apparently it includes heaps and plenty of robots, and a cameo look from Bill Gates!

Elon took to X to say he was able to wage struggle on TSLA shorts – and, as soon as he has self-driving vehicles and the Optimus robotic discovered, his inventory good points will “obliterate” Invoice Gates … all of which appears very sane and regular. In different information, there’s a Mannequin Y refresh, Mannequin S/X gross sales are tanking, Lucid gross sales are up, killer EV lease offers about, you may get a Nissan LEAF for $19 in Colorado, and NASCAR goes electrical!
