Following a long delay, CarPlay Ultra launched a couple of months ago, delivering the much-anticipated tighter integration between the iPhone and car systems promised during WWDC 2022. And while Apple had originally lined up several automakers to support the new experience, some have since backed away. Now, one holdout is doubling down on its decision to pass on the feature.

Tesla reports sales miss as auto revenue drops for second straight quarter

cnbc.com Lora Kolodny 2026-01-06 02:50:59

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, attends the Viva Technology conference at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center in Paris on June 16, 2023. Tesla's slump this year is partly due to a backlash against the company in the U.S. and Europe, after CEO Elon Musk spent heavily to help reelect President Donald Trump , endorsed Germany's extreme anti-immigrant AfD party, and then led the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency. At DOGE, Musk helped to slash the federal workforce

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice—the decades-awaited sequel to Tim Burton’s spooky-season classic—was a box-office hit, meaning that even if it didn’t make quite the same cultural impact as its inspiration, talk of a threequel is already in the air. But even if Hollywood has its hopes up, Burton and star Jenna Ortega aren’t making any promises.

Tesla profits pulled down by falling EV sales and regulatory credits

techcrunch.com Kirsten Korosec 2026-01-06 02:48:04

Falling EV sales combined with a lower average selling price, less revenue from regulatory credits, and a decline in solar and energy storage revenue took a toll on Tesla’s bottom line during the second quarter of 2025. And a 17% growth in revenue in its services business, which includes cash generated from its Supercharging network, wasn’t enough to close the gap. The company reported Wednesday revenue of $22.5 billion, a 12% decline from the same period last year. The company’s second quarter

Trump’s AI Action Plan aims to block chip exports to China but lacks key details

The Trump administration wants its AI technology to be considered an industry leader both on home soil and abroad. But it also doesn’t want the U.S.’s AI prowess to empower or embolden a foreign adversary. That’s quite the balance to strike.
