Tesla’s 4680 battery supply chain collapses as partner writes down deal by 99%
A major link in Tesla’s 4680 battery supply chain has just snapped. South Korean battery material supplier L&F Co. announced today that the value of its massive supply deal with Tesla has been slashed by over 99%, signaling a catastrophic drop in demand for the automaker’s in-house battery cells.
This is arguably the strongest evidence yet that Tesla’s 4680 program, and the vehicle that relies on it, the Cybertruck, is in serious trouble.

Former House speaker on ABC News also said congressional Republicans have ceded almost all their power to Trump
Democrats will retake the US House’s majority in the 2026 midterm elections, the chamber’s former speaker Nancy Pelosi has confidently predicted – and she hopes her party colleagues then seize back the congressional power that Republicans have all but ceded to Donald Trump.
Asked Sunday on ABC News’s This Week if she had any doubts over whether Democratic New York congressman Hakeem Jeffries would hold the speaker’s gavel after the elections midway through Trump’s second presidency, Pelosi said: “None.” Continue reading...

Most AI-related jobs I see on LinkedIn are for jobs looking to make AI a thing.
That is, there doesn’t exist a specific reason for AI, eg help us with self driving training.
Rather, it’s more like: “help us adopt and apply AI for something” without knowing how or for what.
It feels like AI fomo.
