How Rivians became the ‘it’ car in the Hamptons: ‘Everyone is dumping their Cybertruck’
How Rivians became the ‘it’ car in the Hamptons: ‘Everyone is dumping their Cybertruck’

June 13, 2025 • By Lydia Moynihan

A shift has occurred in high-end areas like the Hamptons and Palo Alto, where Teslas are no longer favored due to their association with Elon Musk. Instead, wealthy buyers are opting for Rivians and Lucids, which are seen as more environmentally conscious and have no connection to Musk. Despite their high prices, Rivian's electric trucks are gaining popularity, with over 100,000 people on the waitlist for their new R2 model. However, these cars are prone to breaking down frequently, making them a luxury only a handful of wealthy buyers can afford. Analysts suggest that Elon Musk is not concerned about losing high-end buyers, as Tesla is now focused on more affordable price points and autonomous cars.

While Tesla Talks, Waymo Drives
While Tesla Talks, Waymo Drives

June 13, 2025 • By Trefis Team, Contributor, Trefis Team, Contributor https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/people/trefis/

The article discusses the current state of autonomous driving technology, particularly focusing on Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software and its competitor, Alphabet's Waymo. Despite Tesla's established presence in the field, its FSD software has not significantly contributed to the company's revenue. The software is offered as a one-time purchase of $8,000 or a subscription priced at $99 per month, with estimates suggesting that around 5% of customers chose the subscription option by early 2024. In contrast, Waymo has been making significant strides in the real world, conducting over 250,000 fully autonomous, paid rides each week across several cities. Waymo's vehicles operate without human oversight, and riders seem to prefer them over other ride-hailing services. The company's safety report also indicated a 78% reduction in injury-causing crashes compared to human drivers. While Tesla's FSD software has the potential to be simpler and cheaper to scale, relying on a camera-only system powered by neural networks, Waymo's comprehensive hardware stack and custom sensors provide a more robust solution. However, Tesla's large existing user base, with over 5 million vehicles on the road, could potentially be activated to run FSD software, altering the economics of the business. The article concludes that while Tesla has been talking about its autonomous driving capabilities, Waymo has been quietly making progress and delivering tangible results. The competition between the two companies will be interesting to watch, with Tesla's software-centric approach pitted against Waymo's more comprehensive hardware and software solution.

Infinite Machine has unveiled the Olto, a bike lane-ready moped designed for US cities. The Olto combines sleek design with high-tech features, including a 48V 25Ah battery pack, functional pedals, and a top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h) in compliance with Class 2 e-bike regulations. It also features advanced anti-theft measures, such as GPS and LTE tracking, and a dedicated AirTag slot. The Olto has a range of 40 miles (64 km) and can be charged to 50% in one hour or fully charged in three hours. The vehicle is designed to be easy to use and maintain, with a removable battery and a magnetic leveling feature for the pedals. It also includes a secure compartment for charging phones and a high-visibility LED lighting system. The Olto is priced at $3,495 and is available for pre-order with a $100 reservation. While the Olto is designed to comply with e-bike regulations, it can be unlocked to reach a top speed of 33 mph (53 km/h) in "off-road mode." This has raised concerns about the vehicle's potential impact on bike lane safety. However, the company emphasizes that the Olto is designed to be a mobility tool that gets people out of cars and onto more efficient, city-friendly vehicles. Overall, the Olto is a unique and innovative vehicle that combines the best features of e-bikes and mopeds. Its advanced technology and design make it an attractive option for urban commuters, but its potential impact on bike lane safety will need to be carefully considered.
