Tesla has changed the 0-100 km/h acceleration spec on its new $39,490 CAD Model 3 Premium RWD in Canada for a second in less than three weeks. The car now lists a 6.2-second sprint — two full seconds slower than the 4.2 seconds Tesla advertised at launch on May 1.

For many Americans, the idea of buying an electric bike with healthcare funds probably sounds somewhere between confusing and too good to be true.

Last year, the smart money had the American energy sector investing a cool $100 billion (with a “b”) in battery storage for sustainable energy. Today, those batteries aren’t just supporting wind and solar, they’re propping up AI data centers – and the investments are just getting bigger.
