EVs chew through tires faster than gas cars — heavy batteries and instant torque put extra stress on every acceleration. A former Michelin executive put a number on it:

“EVs tend to wear out their tires up to 20% faster than standard gas vehicles.”

Many EV tires are designed for low rolling resistance — harder tread compounds, shallower depth. Less tread from the start equals a shorter lifespan.

I passed my permit test, and I’ve been going back and forth between an EV, a hybrid, or a gas car for my first car. Good to know what I’d actually be signing up for.

“A.I. should never provide the final answer. Kids can use it to brainstorm or explore, but they must produce their own first draft or solution.” —Vivienne Ming, a neuroscientist and A.I. researcher

While Ming views AI as a tool for cognitive scaffolding, the sheer speed of its integration into our schools feels less like a choice and more like an inevitability.

The global humanoid race is heating up as Europe enters the ring! 🇪🇺 🤖

BMW is now testing Hexagon AB’s AEON robot at its Leipzig plant, marking its first humanoid pilot in Europe. From battery assembly to precision scanning, the AI revolution is going physical.

The era of “someday” is over. With Agibot racing to match Tesla’s Optimus output, humanoid robots are moving from labs to our streets. Seeing this mass production scale up so fast is a wild reality check. Science fiction is officially becoming our daily commute. They’re here among us. 🤖🦾
