Two of the main electric-vehicle stocks haven't had a great start to 2026. Year to date, shares of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) are down about 13%, while Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN) is off roughly 24% -- including a sharp drop on Friday after the smaller automaker's first-quarter earnings report. But could sentiment toward these two stocks improve? Now's a good time to look at both stocks, as each company has now delivered fresh first-quarter results. Additionally, with both stocks trading well below where they started the year, this is a good time to figure out which is the better growth stock to buy now. Image source: Tesla. Continue reading

US Firm Unveils Ground Bot With Enough Power To Fire Laser Guns Utah-based defense tech firm Hypercraft has unveiled a 300 hp diesel-hybrid-electric unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) that can power directed-energy weapons, charge drones, and sustain a forward command post, all autonomously. Defense Blog’s Dylan Malyasov reports that Hypercraft’s Razorback UGV can travel 280 miles on a single charge, reach speeds of 60 mph, and export 38 kilowatts of power, which is enough to power laser weapons and recharge drones. Razorback is being positioned as a critical energy source for forward operating units that need power for drones, electronic warfare, ISR, counter-UAS systems, and communications. The UGV is also designed to move supplies and support infrastructure on the modern battlefield. The role of UGVs on the battlefield is still being shaped in real time by the Russia-Ukraine war , where robots, whether ground bots or drones, are increasingly removing infantrymen from harm's way as the grinding fight evolves into a war of attrition fought by machines. The wars across Eurasia, from Ukraine-Russia to the U.S.-Iran conflict, have validated a new style of warfare in which cheap ground robots and drones increasingly operate in ‘no man's land’ (front lines). The next phase is already coming: humanoid systems entering the battlespace as militaries look to push more machines, not infantrymen, into the kill zone. Tyler Durden Sun, 05/10/2026 - 21:00
