The year 2025 is only half over. But for some of global automakers’ most ambitious electric vehicle projects, the In Memoriam segment is already shaping up to be a sad one. Major manufacturers including Honda, Stellantis, and Nissan publicly backed off plans to build and sell battery-electric vehicles, joining others who have made similar admissions in the past two years. Vehicle program cancellations aren’t the sign of a thriving industry. Traditional automakers work on five- to seven-year pro

Tesla’s Cybertruck Is a Bust

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-07-26 14:07:11

The hype is dead. The Tesla Cybertruck, once billed as the future of electric vehicles, is now looking like a commercial bust. In the second quarter of 2025, Tesla sold just 4,306 Cybertrucks, down a staggering 50.8% from the 8,755 units it delivered during the same period last year, according to new data from Kelley Blue Book. This plunge is a signal that America’s most hyped truck may already be out of gas. When the Cybertruck was first revealed in November 2019, Elon Musk called it a “bette

When understood and used properly, the constraint W = tanh(Ŵ) ⊙ σ(M̂) (introduced in NALU by Trask et al. 2018 ) creates a unique parameter topology where optimal weights for discrete operations can be calculated rather than learned .

They approximate, they fail on extrapolation, and they're inconsistent. But what if there was a way to m
