When comparing NIO with Tesla, Li Bin once said:
“Everything Tesla has, I have too. I can do everything they can do, but they can’t do everything I can do.”

Apple invites media to an October 28 event; major new Macs and an iPad mini may be on the way
Apple has begun inviting select members of the media to a new-product experience event in Los Angeles on October 28. Described as a full-day product launch experience, the event suggests Apple is preparing to unveil another major wave of hardware later this month. According to well-known Apple reporter Mark Gurman, the media event is expected to focus on several new devices, including the highly anticipated touchscreen MacBook, a next-generation iPad mini, and new Mac computers powered by the M6 chip.
Gurman previously said Apple would announce these products around October 27 and launch them in an online video, followed by an in-person media experience. The latest news further confirms that the media event will take place on October 28, though it remains unclear whether Apple will officially unveil the products that day or announce them online a day earlier.
The product attracting the most attention is undoubtedly Apple’s first touchscreen MacBook. Rumor has it that the redesigned product will come in 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, featuring OLED displays and, for the first time, direct touch input.
In addition to touchscreen functionality, the new MacBook Pro is expected to feature a thinner, lighter design and a display area similar to the iPhone’s Dynamic Island. This would be one of the biggest design changes to the MacBook lineup in recent years.
There had been speculation that Apple might introduce a completely new name, “MacBook Ultra,” but the latest reports suggest the company is more likely to keep these products within the MacBook Pro lineup rather than establish a new product line.
Alongside the high-end redesigned models, Apple is also expected to announce regularly upgraded Mac products. These may include a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip and a next-generation iMac, further expanding the M6 platform across the Mac lineup.
Meanwhile, a new iPad mini may also make an appearance. According to information revealed so far, it will get an OLED display and a front-facing camera repositioned to work better for landscape video calls. It is also expected to feature a redesigned speaker system to improve the audio-visual and video-conferencing experience.

Musk Says SpaceX Could Be Worth Over $100 Trillion Within a Decade—Unless World War Breaks Out

Billionaire American investor Ron Baron, founder of Baron Capital, predicts that SpaceX could reach a market value of $50 trillion within a decade. But the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, thinks even that valuation is too conservative.
On Tuesday, local time, a user shared a video on social media platform X of Baron speaking at an event. In the video, Baron said SpaceX’s market value would eventually reach “$20 trillion, $30 trillion, even $50 trillion,” and noted that Musk thought his valuation was “way too low.” The investor went on to stress that the company’s fundamentals were “very solid” and that his figures were not “made up out of thin air.”
Baron then expressed optimism about the Starlink business. “I think Starlink alone could be worth around $14 trillion to $15 trillion over the next 10 years,” Baron said, adding that the business was still in the “early stages” of growth.
He then praised Musk’s vision for “orbital data centers,” noting that building data centers on Earth was no longer viable and that this business would be “several times the size of Starlink itself.” Finally, Baron said he believed the investment could generate returns of at least 20 to 30 times.
Replying to the user’s post, Musk shared his own forecast for SpaceX. The billionaire said SpaceX would very likely be worth more than $100 trillion in less than a decade—“unless a world war breaks out.”

Tesla Sets Date for Second-Generation Roadster Event
On October 14, Tesla announced on X that its Roadster event will be livestreamed at 7:55 p.m. Central Time on the 15th (8:55 a.m. Beijing time on the 16th). The event was originally scheduled for October 1 in Waco, Texas, but was postponed due to weather.
Tesla first unveiled the second-generation Roadster concept at a launch event in 2017. It was originally positioned as Tesla’s first supercar developed entirely from the ground up. One of the car’s potential highlights, according to earlier reports, could be a thruster system that Musk has discussed publicly: cold-gas thrusters based on SpaceX technology installed in the car. The vehicle may feature around 10 thrusters in the area usually occupied by the rear seats, using changes in airflow and weight distribution to improve acceleration and cornering.
It is worth noting that Tesla has not confirmed that the thruster system will make it into production. Over the past year, Musk has discussed the idea publicly several times, but has not announced technical specifications, pricing, or a delivery timeline for models equipped with the feature.
