Tesla’s new Roadster technology revealed in detail. Tesla Vice President of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy has publicly shared, for the first time, a comprehensive look at the highly anticipated new Roadster’s core technical details! This supercar abandons conventional design thinking, using a range of cross-disciplinary aerospace technologies and a groundbreaking powertrain layout to push the boundaries of what the market imagines electric vehicles can be.
Here are the key highlights: 1. Ditching all-wheel drive in favor of “dual-motor rear-wheel drive” + a dedicated 4680 battery * Dual-motor rear-wheel drive: Instead of a tri-motor/all-wheel-drive setup, it uses a dedicated dual-motor rear-wheel-drive layout. Total power exceeds 1 megawatt (about 1341 horsepower), with torque topping 1400 N·m. An 8.4:1 planetary gear set independently drives the rear wheels. * Lightweight, at just 1700 kg: The target vehicle weight has been reduced to under 1700 kilograms (it was previously planned to weigh 2000 kilograms). * Custom 4680 battery: It uses an aluminum casing and titanium-alloy top cover, along with a double-sided, one-way cooling thermal management system to ensure performance doesn’t fade during 25-30 minutes of intense track driving. It supports an 800V-1000V high-voltage platform, with a target of completing a 15%-80% fast charge in under 10 minutes.
2. Active ground-suction system: cornering G-forces exceed 2g * Underbody suction fans: Four 20kW fans powered by high-pressure compressor motors are fitted beneath the car. Working with four retractable skirts, they firmly “suck” the vehicle to the ground at low speeds, filling the aerodynamic blind spot. * Active aerodynamic components: The front splitter contains adjustable 80° flaps. The rear-wing actuator directly borrows the leg actuator from the Optimus humanoid robot, enabling extremely precise downforce control.
3. Co-developed with SpaceX: cold gas thrusters (CGT) * High-pressure nitrogen propulsion: Uses nitrogen gas at 10000 psi (about 689 bar) as the working fluid; it is non-toxic and non-flammable. * Capable of short-distance flight off the ground: The top-spec Rocket version is equipped with a 600L compressed-gas tank and 6 thrusters, producing nearly 90 kN of thrust. This could help the vehicle briefly lift off the ground and correct its attitude midair!
In summary: The new Tesla Roadster is more than an electric supercar—it brings together Tesla’s advances in materials science, thermal management, robotic actuators, and SpaceX aerospace propulsion technology. There are already 4-5 prototype cars, and a large-scale test fleet is expected to get underway early next year. ———————- We buy on dips $SPCX.US
【Latest remarks from Fed Chair Warsh: No pre-judgment on October/December rate cuts; no “free riders” in global tightening】Fed Chair Kevin Warsh delivered a major speech at the 2026 IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok, Thailand, signaling multiple policy and economic messages. What impact could this have on the cryptocurrency market?
Impact on the cryptocurrency market * Macro liquidity comes under pressure, and BTC’s short-term correlation with U.S. equities rises * A short-term headwind for risk appetite: Cryptocurrencies are high-beta risk assets that rely heavily on ample global central-bank liquidity. The Fed is keeping its policy path for October and December “ambiguous,” while central banks around the world are tightening in tandem. This means expectations of abundant macro-level fiat liquidity may not materialize in the short term, potentially triggering a period of pullbacks or sharp volatility in BTC and altcoins. * Reinforces BTC’s “digital gold” status, while altcoins diverge * A medium- to long-term positive for BTC: Warsh has repeatedly called Bitcoin “digital gold” and a “wake-up call” about central-bank policy mistakes. Against a macro backdrop of the Fed and central banks worldwide taking a tough stance against inflation, while fiat purchasing power comes under pressure, the medium- to long-term case for BTC as a borderless hedge asset with a fixed supply will be further reinforced. * Altcoins and high-risk DeFi face a shakeout: Warsh is cautious, even skeptical, toward speculative tokens without real-world utility. Coupled with the Fed’s concerns about “financial stability risks” in investments in AI and other emerging technologies, altcoin projects lacking regulatory compliance and genuine cash flow may face a liquidity crunch. * The integration of stablecoins and TradFi slows * Synchronized tightening by central banks worldwide and the Fed’s close monitoring of financial stability risks mean that Fed oversight of the boundaries between crypto finance (such as algorithmic stablecoins, leveraged RWA, and crypto lending) and traditional banking is likely to become stricter. In the short term, the cost for institutional capital to enter the market through borrowing will remain high. 💡 Trading suggestions for crypto investors: Ahead of the October and December FOMC meetings, consider reducing high leverage and guarding against “data releases triggering sharp rallies or selloffs” amid the lack of forward guidance. For medium-term allocations, continue focusing on high-consensus blue-chip assets such as BTC, while watching out for liquidity squeezes in altcoins lacking sound fundamentals. $BTC $BNB $ETH
🧧🎁🌹🧧🎁🌹 Hot sectors and specific areas to watch that will remain relevant in 2026
RWA tokenization: Attracted significant capital in Q3 (including projects like Ondo Finance). Tokenized U.S. Treasuries, private credit, gold/commodities, and more are already live, with the market reaching tens of billions of dollars. Opportunities lie in issuance platforms, compliance tools, and secondary trading.
AI × Crypto: Verifiable AI, privacy-preserving AI inference, AI agent infrastructure, and decentralized computing/data. Multiple projects have raised tens of millions to over $100 million.
Prediction markets: Polymarket and Kalshi have reached valuations in the tens of billions, with institutional capital pouring in. Trading terminals and aggregators are the next wave of opportunities.
DeFi and trading infrastructure: Perpetual DEXs (Hyperliquid has performed particularly well, with large buyback volumes), stablecoin payments, and institutional-grade lending. Capital favors companies with revenue and licenses over pure protocols.
Other tokens to watch (India/global perspective, October picks): Chainlink (LINK, oracles + cross-chain + institutional adoption), Helium (HNT, wireless DePIN), Toncoin (TON, Telegram ecosystem), ICP (decentralized cloud + AI), FIL (decentralized storage), and others.

Top Forecaster Warns: Fed Could Raise Rates by 50 Basis Points in December, with Policy Path for Early Next Year in Flux
Economist Jason Schenker, who was among the first to predict the Fed’s most recent rate hike, is now raising another possibility: if inflationary pressures persist, the Fed could raise rates by 50 basis points in December rather than the usual 25.
Jason Schenker, president of Prestige Economics, expects the Fed is unlikely to raise interest rates again at its meeting this month. He believes policymakers need to first observe the effects of the September rate hike before deciding whether to take more aggressive action at year-end.
“In December, if inflation has not been curbed more forcefully and substantially following the September rate hike, the Fed may choose to raise rates by 50 basis points instead of 25 to put greater pressure on inflation,” Schenker said.
On October 17, the Fed officially entered its communications blackout period ahead of its policy meeting. The latest U.S. CPI for September rose 3.7% year over year, above expectations. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh did not maintain the hawkish stance he took at the Jackson Hole meeting, and struck a noticeably more moderate tone.
Here is a summary of institutional analysis and key points:
1. Key signals from Warsh: leaning toward a pause in rate hikes? * No advance commitment to a rate hike: Warsh stressed that the Fed would “make decisions meeting by meeting,” characterizing September’s rate hike as “removing policy accommodation” rather than the start of a tightening cycle. * No reiteration of hawkish remarks: Despite the hotter-than-expected September CPI data, Warsh said economic performance was broadly in line with September expectations. He did not make a strong case for another rate hike in October ahead of the blackout period. * Institutional expectations: Bloomberg Economics noted that Warsh’s “lack of a clear stance” was itself the biggest signal, suggesting the Fed would most likely hold rates steady at its October 27–28 policy meeting.
2. AI’s dual impact on inflation and monetary policy Warsh is optimistic that AI will boost long-term productivity, but also acknowledged that AI could have a temporary impact on the economy and inflation: * Short-term demand-side pressure: Large-scale construction and investment in the AI sector are rapidly driving up demand, which could push inflation higher in the short term. * Medium-term supply-side benefits: AI will ultimately be a positive supply shock, significantly boosting productivity and easing inflationary pressures over the longer term.
3. Goldman Sachs’ quantitative assessment: AI hardware and computing power add 45 basis points to PCE inflation In its latest report, Goldman Sachs broke down the specific inflationary impact of AI-related demand: * Memory and software: Contribute about 20 basis points to Core PCE inflation, much of which is attributable to statistical distortions. * Electronic components: Expected to contribute a cumulative 15 basis points by the end of next year. * Data center electricity consumption: Adds a combined 10–20 basis points through corporate energy costs and household electricity bills. * Industrial metals: Data center infrastructure demand adds about 5 basis points to core inflation. * Goldman Sachs’ conclusion: AI is adding about 45 basis points to inflation, and its impact is nearing a peak. As hardware prices ease next year, Core PCE is expected to move back toward the 2% target.
