Mitsubishi’s $71,200 Brown Pickup Projects A Horse Onto The Pavement
Mitsubishi's Brazil-only Triton special edition, the BF///MS, is a rugged off-road truck that's part of a partnership with a local lifestyle brand. It's designed for the off-road crowd and features a unique bi-tone brown paint job with Onyx Pearl Black on the lower bodywork. The 20-inch wheels have a dark diamond-cut finish and sit on grippy Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires. The interior is just as impressive, with brown and black leather upholstery and orange stitching. The BF///MS logo is emblazoned on the dashboard, and a horse emblem is embroidered into the seats and projected by the puddle lights. The special edition is based on the flagship Triton Katana trim and comes with a generous standard kit, including a 9-inch infotainment system, navigation, a 360-degree camera, and a premium JBL sound system. Under the skin, the BF///MS is powered by a twin-turbo 2.4-liter diesel engine producing 202 hp and 470 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and Mitsubishi's Super Select II 4WD system, which features a locking rear differential and seven terrain-specific drive modes. The BF///MS is offered on a built-to-order basis in Brazil without a fixed production cap, and it's currently priced at R$ 339,990 ($67,200) as part of a promotion. This makes it less expensive than the limited-production Triton Terra, which was priced at R$ 364,990 ($71,200).

Canada Hires 48 Scholars Away From Top US Universities
Hey! So, you know how sometimes things just… shift? Like, you're used to one way of doing things, and then suddenly, the ground moves a little under your feet? Well, something like that is happening with top researchers. Canada's been quietly bringing in a bunch of really smart people, like 64 in total, and a big chunk of them, 48, are coming from places like Harvard and MIT. It’s not just a few random hires, either. There’s over $364 million behind this, specifically targeting fields like AI, climate science, and medicine. What’s really interesting, and honestly a bit surprising, is *why* some of these folks are leaving the US. A few are pretty openly saying that the current administration's approach to science, funding, and even academic freedom has made them feel like the US isn't the place it used to be for scientific exploration. One professor, who’s moving to McGill, even said he used to think the US was the most science-enthusiastic country, but that’s just not true anymore for him. Another scientist left a US federal agency because he felt his research was being censored. It sounds like Canada is really leaning into supporting research, especially in areas that matter to society, and making it a priority. It's a pretty clear signal that when some countries are pulling back, others are stepping up.

Labour's backing of AI datacentres is a threat to UK wildlife
Labour’s new “AI Growth Zones” are fast‑tracking dozens of data‑centre projects across the UK, treating them as Critical National Infrastructure so they skip many of the usual planning checks. The evidence behind the wildlife worries comes from a mix of observational studies, expert reviews and local ecological surveys that link large‑scale data‑centre footprints to habitat loss, noise, light and electromagnetic disturbances. Those studies show that the humming, vibration and bright lights from data‑centres can alter hormone levels and breeding cycles in bats, owls and other nocturnal animals, while the constant hum can disorient migratory birds. Electromagnetic fields from high‑power transmission lines have been linked to reduced foraging success in honeybees, and the massive water draw—about 6.6 million litres a day now, projected to rise to nearly 20 million litres by 2030—can lower river flows that many fish and amphibians depend on. Because the sites often sit on or near protected habitats—like the SSSI near Elsham or the nature‑rich woods in Bromley—developers are allowed to pay a levy into a Nature Restoration Fund instead of preserving the original land. Conservationists argue that planting trees elsewhere can’t replace the complex, site‑specific ecosystems that get destroyed. Local groups and wildlife charities are already filing objections, and some ministers have overridden council decisions to push projects ahead. The net effect, according to the gathered evidence, is a rapid fragmentation of habitats that could push already vulnerable species closer to decline.
China’s EV Market Is Booming. There’s Just One Problem
China's electric vehicle market has grown exponentially, with annual sales surging from 1 million in 2018 to over 16 million in 2025. However, this rapid growth has led to a wave of batteries nearing the end of their service life, posing a significant waste-management and recycling challenge for the country. China reported 400,000 metric tons of EV battery waste last year, with projections indicating that this figure could grow to 1.69 million metric tons in 2030 and 22.39 million metric tons by 2040. A joint study by researchers in China and the US found that much of the country's used-battery supply continues to flow through uncertified recyclers, which poses serious environmental and safety risks. China has created a formal EV battery recycling system, with over 150 companies certified to process retired vehicle batteries, but they handled only about 25 percent of those batteries in 2023. An investigation revealed that more than 100 certified companies were no longer operating or could not be reached. The study estimated that uncertified recyclers handled nearly 270,000 metric tons of retired batteries in 2023, and without decisive intervention, the volume flowing through informal channels could reach 1.26 million tons in 2030 and 16.79 million tons by 2040. China is adopting a new national regulation governing EV battery recycling, requiring automakers to bear greater responsibility for collecting and recycling used batteries. However, experts say that more needs to be done, including requiring automakers to take greater responsibility for battery recycling, imposing stricter controls on informal recyclers, and offering incentives to consumers and certified recyclers. The challenge is not unique to China, as battery recycling has proven difficult to make profitable worldwide.

Tesla Delivered More Cars Than Any Q2 Ever And Its Stock Had The Worst Day Ever
Tesla just shipped a record‑breaking 480,126 cars in the second quarter, up about a quarter from a year ago. Almost every one of those deliveries was a Model 3 or Model Y, with the rest split among the older S and X, the Cybertruck and the Semi. The surge came from stronger demand in Europe—places like Portugal, Slovenia and Lithuania—and a solid push in Asia‑Pacific markets such as Australia, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Thailand. The new three‑row Model Y L helped, and higher gas prices in the U.S. have nudged more European buyers toward electric vehicles. Revenue grew 26 percent to $28.24 billion, beating forecasts. The automotive side contributed $20.52 billion, while the energy division rose 13 percent to $3.14 billion and services plus other revenue jumped 50 percent to $4.58 billion. Despite the top‑line gains, gross margin slipped a bit, and GAAP net income fell 5 percent to $1.11 billion. Analysts had expected a higher margin, so the numbers felt a little underwhelming. The profit dip mainly reflects Tesla’s heavy spending on artificial‑intelligence projects and other R&D, which pushed operating costs up faster than revenue. On top of that, the company earned less from regulatory credits and saw average vehicle prices dip, further squeezing earnings. All that optimism about deliveries was wiped out when the stock tumbled 14.5 percent in a single day, erasing over $214 billion in market value. It’s the steepest drop in Tesla’s history and more than the entire market cap of every other automaker combined.

SpaceX and Amazon are tech dopplegangers worth $4.5 trillion—and they’re headed for a collision
$4.6 trillion—that’s the combined market cap of Amazon and SpaceX, with Amazon at roughly $2.6 trillion and SpaceX hovering near $2 trillion. The gap shows up in price multiples: Amazon trades around 3.6 times last‑year sales, while SpaceX sits near 97 times, a spread that many see as a hefty “Musk premium.” Starlink is the only profit driver for SpaceX, pulling $11.4 billion in revenue last year, growing 50 % YoY, and a recent sum‑of‑the‑parts analysis pegged it at about $1.25 trillion of the firm’s valuation. Meanwhile, AWS still dominates the cloud arena, delivering $128.7 billion in revenue for 2025 and a $15 billion AI run‑rate in Q1 2026, keeping Amazon’s cash flow and margins well ahead of its space‑focused rival.
