LAMBORGHINI LANZADOR: THE NEW EV SUPERCAR 📈
Alright, kiddos, remember those sneaky Lanzador pics that "accidentally" leaked ahead on Thursday? Lamborghini’s now made it official, and guess what? It’s got the juice. And we aren't talking orange.
So what is it? An SUV? A supercar that got too comfy during lockdown? Wrong on both counts! The Lanzador is a fancy 'Ultra-GT'. Imagine if an Urus and a Lambo Huracan had a baby. That's what it is.
The shocking news: It’s battery-powered. In doing so, it joins the likes of its half-green buddies Revuelto, Urus, and the upcoming Huracán refresh. Expect to see it on roads by... wait for it... 2028. I mean, why rush brilliance, right? But Mr. Winkelmann, Lambo's head honcho, swears it's not just a concept... and that we're looking at a near-production spec car.
Here's the deal:
Zoom Zoom: Two e-motors mean lots of speed. About 1,350 horsepower, in old car talk.
Cool Moves: It has special steering and a strong battery. The battery might last 400 miles when it's time to sell.
Tech Time: The Lanzador shares some tech with fancy VW electric cars... but sprinkled with the Lambo's special touch. Mr. Mohr from Lamborghini says it'll drive like no other.

CATL UNVEILS “SHENXING” BATTERY 🔋
CATL has a new trick. They made charging an EV as fast as getting a snack. They named it “Shenxing”, which means “god-like movement”. Great name. This battery can get your car ready for 250 miles in just 10 minutes!
Think about it. In 10 minutes, a car with this battery could drive from New York to Boston. That's super fast. That’s god-like movement.
What makes this battery special? It’s called the "world's first 4C superfast charging LFP battery." Lots of words. I’m now confused.
Let’s break it down:
4C refers to charge rate.
LFP means lithium iron phosphate. Not Ludicrously Fast Power. Oops.
And battery refers to these:🔋
Why the LFP love? CATL is a big fan on this tech. Tesla’s been a fan of it too. The other big battery player, BYD, are yet to show their competitor in the superfast charging space. They’ve been focused on safety with their Blade Battery.
So, Shenxing batteries will be out in 2024. The release of these could be serious steps forward in EV adoption. We’re watching closely!

ELON TO LIVE STREAM FSD 12 NEXT WEEK 🎥
Did Elon hit 'send' on another wild tweet? He sure did! Elon Musk is about to show us the big show of FSD V12. Get your snacks and tech words ready. This FSD showcase will be a fun show!
If "V12" sounds like a movie robot to you, then:
A: It’s not
B: It’s Tesla’s big car brain update.
Papa Musk says the new build is mind-blowingly good. And we all know when Elon's mind is blown, things are interesting.
Regular people, and sometimes brave Tesla employees, have demonstrated Tesla's progress with FSD in the past. But, for the Alpha-level sneak peek of V12, the news will be hot off Musk's own X live stream.
Will FSD 12 live up to the hype? Only time, a live-stream, and Musk’s entertaining commentary will tell. Prepare for exciting FSD news. Keep your 2023 calendars nearby. A wider release might actually happen this year!

TESLA’S NEW UNIVERSAL HOME CHARGER ⚡️
Tesla unveiled a game-changer: the Tesla Universal Wall Connector. It does something no other charger has done before – it’s the universal remote of EV chargers! You no longer need a bunch of adapters that are more confusing than your grandma's TV remotes.
The fancy Universal Wall Connector has the same power as the Supercharger Magic Dock. This means it can release a built-in J1772 (CCS) adapter at your command! Regardless of whether your EV uses NACS or CCS, Tesla’s got your back.
Why It's a Game-Changer:
Price Point: Available at your neighborhood Best Buy and the Tesla Shop for $595.00. The Tesla Wall Connector and Tesla J1772 Wall Connector cost $475 and $550. But this product offers even more versatility, making it a great deal.
Features Galore: It can add up to 44 miles of range per hour. It also has Wi-Fi connectivity and a handy 24-foot cable. Plus, it can share power with other Wall Connectors.
Future-Proofing: Between CCS and NACS, buying a charger is more confusing than choosing a Netflix show on a Friday night. This connector squashes that indecision.
Adapters, Be Gone: If you’ve ever lost, mishandled, or broken an adapter, you know the pain. The Universal Wall Connector keeps everything tidy with everything integrated into one piece.
