Is Tesla screwed?
Elon Musk's anger over the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was evident this week as the world's richest man took to X, the social media platform he owns, to lambast President Donald Trump's signature legislation. But there's plenty of anger from investors at the performance of his own electric vehicle company, Tesla, which again posted weak delivery results for its electric vehicles. Psychologists now know exactly what makes someone cool. Turns out, the definitions are universal 'Alligator Alcatraz' merch appears on Amazon and Florida GOP website, making light of controversial facility Companies need leaders. Here's how to stand out The company delivered just over 384,000 vehicles in the second quarter, only marginally better than the previous three months, which were the company's worst in more than two years. Overall, the number of cars Tesla delivered in April, May, and June this year was down 13% from the year before. It caps a difficult time for Musk, whose personal and business brands have taken a tumble. The proportion of people who dislike the EV company has more than doubled in the last two years, according to data from YouGov, which tracks public sentiment about the firm. In all, 35.2% of Americans have a negative view of Tesla, up from just 16.5% two years earlier, and nearly as many as those who now hold a positive view of the company. That correlates with Musk's personal popularity in the same YouGov surveys, with people moving from being on the fence about him to reporting actively disliking him. And his continued engagement in U.S. politics is only turning people against him more, analysts believe. 'Elon Musk's frustration boiled over with the latest Senate budget deficit, reneging on his promise to focus more on his businesses,' write Jed Dorsheimer and Mark Shooter, analysts at William Blair. 'We only see downside from these actions, and would prefer effort to be channeled towards the robotaxi rollout at this critical juncture.' (Tesla did not immediately respond to Fast Company's request for comment.) That said, there are green shoots ahead. The number of deliveries this last quarter wasn't quite as bad as William Blair analysts feared. In fact, it beat their estimate by 8%. 'We expect the stock to react positively as investors feared worse,' Dorsheimer and Shooter said. The issue Tesla faces isn't with brand perception among its own customers, but with trying to attract new ones, suggest analysts at Forrester. 'Tesla is a compelling case study in the divergence between customer experience and brand perception,' explains Keith Johnston, group research director at Forrester. 'While Tesla remains top-of-mind for many noncustomers, boasting above-average salience, they are less likely to perceive it as trustworthy, and even less inclined to buy it.' It's a major issue, agrees Jay Nagley, a consultant at Redspy Automotive Consultancy. 'You can still disapprove of a company and buy its products, because nobody else knows you're doing it,' he says. 'You might publicly disapprove of McDonald's and go and have a crafty burger from time to time, but you can't do that with Tesla. It's sitting in your driveway. You get out of it. Your friends see you in it all the time. So it's a constant source of potential awkwardness and embarrassment.' This comes on top of Tesla facing significant challenges in China, which has traditionally been one of its biggest markets. In the first half of 2025, China accounted for nearly half of Tesla's global deliveries, with Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory alone producing almost 50% of all Tesla vehicles delivered worldwide. The problem is Tesla faces growing competition from Chinese automakers like BYD, which reported one million EV sales in the first half of 2025 compared to Tesla's 721,000. BYD's vehicles, often cheaper and equipped with advanced features like a five-minute charging system, are eroding Tesla's market share, particularly in China. 'While the company has seen significant weakness in China in previous quarters given the rising competitive landscape across EVs, Tesla saw a rebound in June with sales increasing for the first time in eight months reflecting higher demand for its updated Model Y as deliveries in the region are starting to slowly turn a corner,' says Dan Ives, managing director and senior equity research analyst at Wedbush Securities. Ives remains bullish on Tesla and Musk's ability to turn the ship around. 'If Musk continues to lead and remain in the driver's seat, we believe Tesla is on a path to an accelerated growth path over the coming years with deliveries expected to ramp in the back-half of 2025 following the Model Y refresh cycle,' he says. The company plans to release a lower-cost Model Y in the second half of the year. That would be important because Tesla has traditionally been slow at updating its models, something Nagley attributes to Musk's naiveté about how the auto industry operates. But even if the Model Y succeeds, there's a Trump-shaped obstacle in the way to Tesla's success going forward. The U.S. president is eliminating the EV tax credit that helped bolster Tesla's sales, which tilts the scales back in favor of gas-powered cars, which are cheaper than electric alternatives. And tariffs from China on battery materials will push Tesla costs up further. 'While Musk's departure from DOGE brought back Tesla's most important asset,' Ives says, 'the feud between Musk and Trump brings further frustration to investors with more fear around the Trump administration becoming more hawkish around government-related spending tied to Tesla, especially the autonomous future with AV regulations key for Robotaxis and Cybercabs.'

3 breakdowns in 2 weeks for Winnipeg's lone line-painting machine
Winnipeg's lone street-line painting machine broke down three times within the last two weeks. Drivers may have noticed faded or missing lines on many Winnipeg streets. But despite the breakdowns, the city says its crew is on track to give all streets a coat of paint this year. At a meeting of city council's public works committee on Thursday, public works director Jim Berezowsky said the machine is 19 years old and nearing the end of its life. "Fortunately enough, the breakdowns were quick and efficient to get up and running," he said. The City of Winnipeg approved funding in last year's budget to purchase a new line-painting machine, but public works committee chair Coun. Janice Lukes said it could be a long time before it arrives. "Paint is not the answer for everything safety-related, but it is one of the tools in the toolkit to ensure safety at intersections on high-speed, major corridors around schools, pedestrian crosswalks and the like," Lukes said in an interview Friday. The city typically paints lines on roads once per year and applies a second coat to about a quarter of them, depending on weather and road conditions, according to a report presented to the committee on Thursday. Crews have completed approximately 25 per cent of line painting and about 30 per cent of intersection painting so far this year, city spokesperson Julie Dooley wrote in an email statement. "This is on-par with where we'd want to be at this point of the season," she wrote. A new machine could cost as much as $1 million, and is expected to arrive in 2026. The city is also considering whether to buy the same type of machine, which only uses paint, or one that can use a longer-lasting epoxy-based lane marking material. The city issued a request for tender for a contractor to help apply a second coat of paint on all streets — at a cost of up to between $1.4 million and $1.9 million. Dil Subedi, owner of Windsor DC Driving School, says the current state of the city's streets makes it difficult to teach student drivers. "It's very stressful," Subedi said. "They cannot just keep the car in the lane if the lines are not clear. So they keep drifting over … it's very challenging for both of them, both the learner and the instructors." Painting street lines typically costs between $800 and $1,100 per kilometre, according to the report. That is higher than rural highway painting, due to urban issues such as traffic volume and signal delays. Dooley says the crew is working on a compressed schedule to maximize the time spent painting. "Depending on weather conditions, covering more than 25 per cent of streets with more than one application of paint may be possible," Dooley wrote. In 2021, the city was able to complete a second application of paint to lane markings across the entire city.

Battery X Metals Reports Estimated Driving Range Increase of 255 Kilometers Following Successful Rebalancing of Light-Duty Electric Vehicle Model with Severe Cell Imbalance, Restoring Post-Rebalance Range to 295 Kilometers in Preliminary Trial
News Release Highlights: Battery X Rebalancing Technologies has restored a severely degraded Class 3 electric truck from a reported ~40-kilometer range to an estimated 295 kilometers range per charge under no-load conditions (a 255-kilometer increase; 637.5% improvement) based on results from controlled real-world performance trials. Prototype 2.0, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies' patent-pending battery rebalancing platform, demonstrated breakthrough results in the field by fully restoring lost capacity in a 144-cell NMC battery pack exhibiting severe natural cell imbalance-achieving 100% recovery of imbalance-related losses and delivering a 37.7% increase in Rated Capacity. Battery X Rebalancing Technologies has been informed of a broader commercial opportunity following reports of widespread battery degradation across similar electric trucks in active service-underscoring growing demand for a scalable, cost-effective rebalancing solution to extend battery life and reduce operating costs for commercial EV stakeholders. VANCOUVER, BC / / July 4, 2025 / Battery X Metals Inc. (CSE:BATX)(OTCQB:BATXF)(FSE:5YW, WKN:A40X9W)("Battery X Metals" or the "Company") an energy transition resource exploration and technology company, announces that further to its news release dated June 6, 2025, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies Inc. ("Battery X Rebalancing Technologies"), has successfully completed a real-world driving trial demonstrating a significant increase in estimated driving range for a fully electric, Class 3 commercial electric vehicle, or light-duty electric vehicle (the "Electric Truck"), following a full battery rebalancing process using the Company's patent-pending second-generation lithium-ion battery rebalancing hardware and software platform ("Prototype 2.0"). As part of its ongoing performance validation program for Prototype 2.0, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies recently conducted a series of real-world road tests on a rebalanced Electric Truck to evaluate post-rebalancing driving range and battery efficiency. The Electric Truck was supplied by an authorized Canadian distributor of the Electric Truck (the "Electric Truck Authorized Distributor") and, as represented by the Electric Truck Authorized Distributor, had previously demonstrated a significantly degraded driving range of approximately 40 kilometers per full charge caused by significant natural cell imbalance caused by real-world conditions. In response to this battery capacity performance deficiency, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies performed a battery rebalancing procedure on the Electric Truck utilizing Prototype 2.0, as initially disclosed in the Company's news release dated June 6, 2025. During the associated rebalancing trial (the "Rebalancing Trial"), Battery X Rebalancing Technologies successfully completed a full rebalancing process on a 144-cell lithium-ion battery pack composed of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) chemistry, which had exhibited substantial imbalance attributable to real-world operating conditions. The Rebalancing Trial demonstrated complete (100%) recovery of imbalance-related capacity loss and yielded a 37.7% increase in the Rated Capacity (as defined in the June 6, 2025 news release) of the Electric Truck's battery pack. The ResultsFollowing completion of the rebalancing procedure, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies conducted a series of controlled real-world performance evaluations (each, a "Trial" and collectively, the "Battery Range Performance Trials") on the Electric Truck for the purpose of assessing post-rebalancing improvements in battery range and overall energy efficiency under actual operating conditions. In the first Trial, the Electric Truck traveled a total distance of 41 kilometers, utilizing approximately 14% of its available battery capacity, while operating across a combination of highway and city driving environments. In the second Trial, the vehicle completed a distance of 107.3 kilometers while consuming approximately 35% of its battery capacity, under similarly mixed driving conditions. The third Trial, conducted exclusively under city driving conditions, demonstrated that the vehicle traveled 58.2 kilometers while utilizing approximately 21% of its available battery charge (collectively, the "Results"). The Results demonstrate a material improvement in the estimated driving range and effective battery capacity of the Electric Truck. Specifically, post-rebalancing performance testing indicates an estimated driving range of approximately 295 kilometers per full charge under no-load conditions. These figures represent an increase of up to 255 kilometers in driving range under no-load conditions, corresponding to an approximately 637.5% improvement of battery driving range, as compared to the pre-rebalancing range of approximately 40 kilometers. The Results affirm the technical efficacy and commercial relevance of Battery X Rebalancing Technologies' proprietary rebalancing process and support its broader applicability within light-duty electric vehicle fleets and other commercial electric transportation use cases. The Electric Truck parent company has represented that the Electric Truck's expected driving range under maximum payload conditions is approximately 290 kilometers. Battery X Rebalancing Technologies' Battery Range Performance Trials yielded an estimated range of approximately 295 kilometers under no-load conditions following rebalancing. Although these figures were obtained under different load scenarios, the close alignment between the Electric Truck Authorized Distributor's reported range and the post-rebalancing estimate supports the reliability of Battery X Rebalancing Technologies' testing methodology. Furthermore, the Results underscore the potential of Battery X Rebalancing Technologies' rebalancing process to restore battery performance to levels consistent with the high end of manufacturer-reported specifications. The Battery Range Performance Trials were performed under no-load conditions; it is relevant to note that payload can have an effect on energy consumption and overall driving range. This consideration is consistent with widely recognized industry dynamics and is disclosed to provide a complete and transparent understanding of factors that may influence real-world vehicle performance. Range may vary based on payload, terrain, driving behavior, and other operational conditions. These performance outcomes further validate the effectiveness and market relevance of Battery X Rebalancing Technologies' proprietary rebalancing solution in restoring degraded battery capacity and materially extending the remaining useful life of commercial electric vehicle batteries. The Company believes these results provide compelling technical validation in support of Prototype 2.0's broader commercial deployment, particularly in fleet environments where range reliability, battery lifespan longevity, and total cost of ownership are mission-critical considerations. Significance of Results & Market Opportunity for the Electric TruckThe Results of the Rebalancing Trial and the Battery Range Performance Trials collectively demonstrate that Prototype 2.0 is capable of effectively rebalancing lithium-ion battery packs exhibiting significant, naturally occurring cell imbalance. This successful outcome builds upon previously disclosed validation milestones achieved by Battery X Rebalancing Technologies, including third-party technical validation conducted by the National Research Council of Canada (as referenced below), as well as the Company's news release dated May 30, 2025, announcing the successful rebalancing of a naturally imbalanced Nissan Leaf battery pack-the second most common out-of-warranty electric vehicle platform in the United States. Importantly, the Results not only validate the technical efficacy of Prototype 2.0 in an Electric Truck application, but also demonstrate its potential to recover substantial lost battery capacity resulting from cell imbalance. This performance reinforces the relevance of the Company's patent-pending technology in practical, real-world scenarios and highlights the broader need for scalable, cost-effective battery recovery solutions. The Battery Range Performance Trials further substantiates the commercial viability of Prototype 2.0 as a solution to extend the remaining useful life of aging battery packs in commercial electric vehicle fleets. The Electric Truck and associated Electric Truck battery pack were supplied to Battery X Rebalancing Technologies at no cost for testing and evaluation by the Electric Truck Authorized Distributor, who advised that it owns and operates a fleet of approximately 20 Electric Trucks (the "Electric Truck Fleet"). According to the Electric Truck Authorized Distributor, multiple vehicles within the Electric Truck Fleet have exhibited material battery degradation and capacity loss attributable to cell imbalance. The Rebalancing Trial and the Battery Range Performance Trials were undertaken in response to the Electric Truck Authorized Distributor's request for a viable alternative to full battery replacement, which it advised may be financially prohibitive on a fleet-wide basis. The objective of the Rebalancing Trial and the Battery Range Performance Trials was to determine whether Prototype 2.0 could effectively restore functional battery performance in a degraded battery unit sourced from the Electric Truck Fleet. Upon successful rebalancing, the Battery Range Performance Trials further aimed to quantify the extent of recovered battery capacity in terms of estimated driving range. The positive Results are expected to inform and support ongoing discussions with the Electric Truck Authorized Distributor regarding the potential deployment of the rebalancing solution across its broader fleet, with the goal of extending battery life and mitigating the operational and financial impact of premature battery replacements. Battery X Rebalancing Technologies has been informed by the Electric Truck Authorized Distributor that a substantial number of similar electric trucks are currently in operation across various markets, including those held by the Electric Truck's parent company, authorized distributors, commercial fleet operators, and private owners. Many of these vehicles are reportedly experiencing battery degradation symptoms consistent with cell imbalance. This feedback underscores a broader market opportunity for Battery X Rebalancing Technologies to provide a scalable, cost-effective rebalancing solution aimed at extending battery life and reducing total cost of ownership for commercial EV stakeholders. In conjunction with the Rebalancing Trial and the Battery Range Performance Trials, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies is currently advancing the development of standardized operating procedures ("SOPs") tailored to the Electric Truck Battery Pack, in addition to refining user interface and workflow enhancements within Prototype 2.0. The Company is also actively pursuing a commercial manufacturing agreement to support scalable production and deployment of its rebalancing platform. These activities are intended to further the Company's broader commercialization strategy, which is not limited to any single third-party opportunity. The Electric Truck-specific SOPs, however, are being developed in direct response to the successful Battery Range Performance Trials and the interest expressed by the Electric Truck Authorized Distributor. There can be no assurance that Battery X Rebalancing Technologies will enter into any definitive commercial arrangement with the Electric Truck Authorized Distributor or any other third party at this time. While the Company remains encouraged by the Rebalancing Trial and the Battery Range Performance Trials, which demonstrate an apparent need in the marketplace, any future commercial arrangement will be subject to further technical validation, negotiation of mutually acceptable terms, and completion of all necessary operational readiness milestones. The Problem: Rising EV Adoption Presents New Battery Lifecycle ChallengesIn 2024, global EV sales reached approximately 17.1 million units, representing a 25% increase from 20231. With cumulative global EV sales from 2015 to 2023 totaling an estimated over 40 million units2, a significant share of the global EV fleet is expected to exit warranty coverage over the coming years. By 2031, nearly 40 million electric, plug-in hybrid, and hybrid vehicles worldwide are anticipated to fall outside of their original warranty coverage3,4. This projection is based on current EV adoption figures and standard industry warranty terms, and underscores a growing risk for EV owners facing battery degradation, reduced capacity, and costly replacement requirements5. As the global EV fleet continues to expand, the demand for technologies that extend battery life, reduce long-term ownership costs, and support a sustainable transition to electric mobility is increasing. The Solution: Pioneering Next-Generation Technologies to Support Lithium-Ion Battery LongevityBattery X Rebalancing Technologies' proprietary software and hardware technology aims to address this challenge by extending the lifespan of EV batteries. This innovation is being developed with the aim to enhance the sustainability of electric transportation and the goal to provide EV owners with a more cost-effective, environmentally friendly ownership experience by reducing the need for costly battery replacements. Battery X Rebalancing Technologies' rebalancing technology, validated by the National Research Council of Canada ("NRC"), focuses on battery cell rebalancing. The NRC validation demonstrated the technology's ability to effectively correct cell imbalances in lithium-ion battery packs, recovering nearly all lost capacity due to cell imbalance. The validation was conducted on battery modules composed of fifteen 72Ah LiFePO₄ cells connected in series. The cells were initially balanced to a uniform state of charge (SOC), with a measured discharge capacity of 71.10Ah. In the validation test, three of the fifteen cells were then artificially imbalanced-one cell was charged to a 20% higher SOC, and two cells were discharged to a 20% lower SOC-resulting in a reduced discharge capacity of 46.24Ah, following rebalancing using Battery X Rebalancing Technologies' rebalancing technology. These advancements establish Battery X Rebalancing Technologies as a participant in lithium-ion and EV battery solutions, aiming to tackle the critical challenges of capacity degradation of battery packs and expensive replacements. By extending the lifecycle of battery materials within the supply chain, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies aims to support the energy transition and promote a more sustainable future. 1 Rho Motion - Global EV Sales 2024, 2 IEA Global EV Outlook 2024, 3 IEA, 4 U.S. News, 5 Recurrent Auto About Battery X Metals X Metals (CSE:BATX)(OTCQB:BATXF)(FSE:5YW, WKN:A40X9W) is an energy transition resource exploration and technology company committed to advancing domestic and critical battery metal resource exploration and developing next-generation proprietary technologies.
