In the 1840s, tuberculosis patients spent months deep inside Mammoth Cave, hoping the cool air would cure them. The experiment failed. The damp, poorly ventilated cave couldn't cure a bacterial disease. Today, two original stone huts remain as eerie reminders of this failed experiment.

Tesla has introduced a new Tesla Semi website, with additional info, photos and videos. "Inside, the cabin has enough headroom for you to stand, a place to hang up your coat and a heated or ventilated seat for maximum comfort. Acoustic glass and sound damping materials insulate your cabin, keeping road noise out and long drives quiet."

Top Gear just got an inside look at the production Tesla Semi.....and there are a LOT of new details Tesla has refined almost every part of the truck for efficiency, durability and mass production: • Semi is powder-coated instead of painted.....there is no traditional paint shop • Production version is about 3% more efficient than the prototype • More aerodynamic than a Bugatti Chiron without a trailer • Standard Range uses a 548 kWh battery • Despite its enormous size, Semi uses only ~7× the energy of a Model Y • New front-bumper vent improves airflow around the wheels • Three-piece front bumper makes repairs easier and cheaper • Squarer battery-pack design helps retain heat better in cold weather • Cloth seat is both heated AND ventilated • A 6'6" person can stand completely upright inside the cab • And yes.....the sun visor is absolutely gigantic The factory itself is another story 1.7 MILLION sq. ft. Designed for ~1,000 Semis per week Up to ~50,000 trucks per year at full production Tesla redesigned the truck and the factory together to make electric heavy-duty trucking work at massive scale

🚀 Tesla just dropped the Model Y Long Wheelbase (Model Y L) — now available to order in the US & Puerto Rico! This is the 3-row, 6-seat version we’ve been waiting for. It stretches things out for serious interior space without losing that quick Tesla feel: 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and 325 miles of range. What stands out: • Seating comfort — Front seats with heated/ventilated cushions and powered thigh support. Second-row captain’s chairs that heat, ventilate, have powered armrests, and fold with one touch. Third row is heated, power-reclines, folds flat, and has child-seat anchors. • Real family practicality — 89 cu ft of total cargo space. Even with all six seats occupied, the trunk swallows a 28” + 20” suitcase combo, the frunk takes another 20”, and there’s still room for snowboards, bikes, or whatever else you throw at it. • Ride & quiet — Upgraded acoustic glass, adaptive damping, staggered tires, and a second-gen suspension for a smoother, more planted feel. Bigger tailgate and windows mean everyone gets a good view. • Tech inside — 16” front touchscreen + 8” rear screen, immersive audio, upgraded 50W wireless chargers with active cooling, and ports for every row. Full FSD Supervised + Grok AI built in. It’s launching as a Limited Edition “Launch Series” at $61,990. That price includes a full year of FSD (Supervised), Supercharging, and Premium Connectivity — plus free choice of any paint, interior, and wheels. You also get exclusive badging, floor mats, puddle lights, suede dash inserts, and sill plates. Other nice touches: V2L capability (with adapter), all-black headliner, RGB ambient lighting, silver-coated glass roof, HEPA filtration, and seats that fold completely flat in the back two rows. Deliveries start in October. This feels like the first real 3-row Tesla that could actually work for bigger families who still want performance and efficiency.

American nurse who worked during Covid 19 realizes everything they were told to do in the hospital was about profit, not patient care “I'm sick to my stomach after watching the Senate hearing on the COVID hospital protocols, and it wasn't because of the virus. It's because I finally clearly see what was going on during that time. It was handed to us from the top down. Every hospital got the same treatment guidelines, guidelines that said in writing, not a mandate, but every hospital followed this like it was the law. And that's because every hospital got the same payment rules. Extra money for the approved drug, extra money for COVID admission, nothing extra for the alternative choices that people wanted to try. Every hospital got the same green light to lock families out. Every hospital got the same mandate for its staff, and every hospital got the same legal shield effective until 2029. This was the playbook, and if you didn't follow it, you were out” “Here's what makes me sick. This mandate didn't just push out workers, It pushed out people who ask questions, the ones who will put the patients before the institutions. That's not a healthcare system, that's a machine who completely removed its own consciousness. Never again” It’s all about profit and all the “conspiracy theorists” were screaming this from every rooftop for anyone who would listen and nobody would listen… now it’s all being proven true For this that don’t know, there is a very clear example of how hospitals were robbing taxpayer blind There was a 20% Medicare add-on for an inpatient COVID diagnosis. There have been so many nurses have come forward and said they were told to just classify everyone with Covid so the hospitals and clinics got the extra money They made even more if a patient went on a ventilator CMS estimates put an average Medicare COVID hospitalization around $24,000, with ventilated cases nearer $40,000, and those figures already include the 20% bump They also got more money for using the “approved drugs” It was all about the money
