Tesla discontinuing Model S and Model X to make room for robots by Andrew J. Hawkins

Tesla will discontinue the Model S and Model X in the second quarter of 2026, Elon Musk said in an earnings call with investors today. No advance word was given about the cancellations, making it an abrupt ending for Tesla's two original flagship EVs.

Finland starts work on national segregation prevention programme

According to the economic affairs and employment ministry, segregation refers to "growing differences in the population structure of neighbourhoods, where deprivation and advantage increasingly cluster in specific areas".

It said that segregation in Finland has deepened in recent years, particularly in larger urban areas.

"The aim of the programme is to reduce segregation and its negative impacts. It emphasises a comprehensive, knowledge‑based and strategic approach, as well as wide‑ranging cooperation between the central government, cities and other partners," the ministry's release read.

Diversity is good. Without interaction with different people we tend to perpetuate the prejudices.
