The vehicle, wrapped in black fabric to conceal its design, aligns with the pattern of camouflage often seen on pre-production models. The sighting has fueled speculation that Tesla might start production in September and initiate deliveries as early as October.

This enhanced Model 3 has been developed to strengthen Tesla’s position in the competitive Chinese automotive market. The upcoming model boasts noticeable improvements in both its interior and exterior design.

Sources indicate that the new iteration is slightly longer, lending it a more dynamic appearance. Subtle yet distinct changes, such as the revised front bumper and headlights, have been captured in leaked images. Notably, the vehicle will incorporate Tesla’s advanced Hardware 4.0, enhancing its capabilities for autonomous driving, alongside a sleeker interior design.

While details about the powertrain and battery specifics remain undisclosed, rumors point to the potential use of the 66 kWh M3P battery from CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd.), possibly featuring lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry. If accurate, this could translate to improved affordability, safety, and extended range capabilities for the new Model 3.

Yakbike cargo e-trike with an electronic drivetrain unveiled

The Yakbike cargo e-trike has been unveiled and it sports an innovative drivetrain setup. The Yakbike cargo e-trike omits the traditional chain or belt drivetrain found on most e-bikes for an electronic one.

Yakbike e-trike

The Yakbike e-trike is manufactured by the Swiss company Schematic and its crankset is placed directly in line with its flat-front cargo bed. The stability of the Yakbike e-trike is boosted by allowing its front to lean into corners while its rear end remains upright. The Yakbike’s stepless electronic drivetrain avoids the difficulties of incorporating the innovations with a traditional drivetrain.

In terms of operation, the stepless electronic drivetrain is designed to draw power from the rider’s pedaling of the machine. The rider’s pedaling effect spins up a generator that charges the battery. The battery then provides power for the dual 250W rear hub motors. Schematic says the design of the Yakbike is similar to the Free Drive system.

Yakbike cargo e-trike

Each of the Yakbike’s motors delivers up to 170Nm of torque and the e-trike has a top speed of 25km/h. The 48V 5,200Wh lithium-ion battery of the Yakbike delivers a range of 80km on a single charge. The range is further extended to 150km when a second battery is added. The trike’s regenerative braking system also helps to extend its range. The Yakbike also comes with hydraulic disc brakes, LED lighting, and a throttle mode useful when pushing the trike or starting after a stop.

The Yakbike cargo e-trike is available with different cargo modules for extended functionality. It weighs 70kg and can carry a maximum payload of 350kg. The Yakbike e-trike has a starting price of 9,990 Swiss Francs (~$11,371) for the base model with a pickup truck design. Other cargo options include an organic waste bin, a trash bin, and a large Yakbox delivery box.

Logitech is the official partner of NAVI (S1MPLE’s esports team), so it is possible that the mouse has been provided to NAVI for testing purposes. The clip of the mouse shows the white packaging, which has been rebranded to read “G Pro X Superlight 2.” The dongle and cord that came with the mouse are also visible in the clip. 

As for the specs, the G Pro X Superlight 2 might weigh the same as its predecessor at 63 grams.  It will also feature a USB Type-C connection for charging and wired usage, and a polling rate of 2000Hz, which will be ideal for esports players. 

We will have to wait and see when the G Pro X Superlight 2 is officially released. However, the leak is a good sign that the mouse is coming soon. It will be interesting to see how the mouse compares to the original G Pro X Superlight Wireless.
