Tesla, a veteran executive Audi supervision of Model 3

Tesla has hired Peter Hochholdinger, executive Audi for about 22 years, to fill the role of Vice President of Vehicle Production. Replaces Greg Reichow, that according to what is revealed Bloomberg took a leave of absence at the beginning of May in order to have a "well deserved break" from your busy days. The Hochholdinger goals are to increase the production of Model S and Model X and carry out a specific production program for Model 3.

At the time of writing, according to a recent article by Reuters Tesla has received about 400,000 pre-orders for Model 3. Recently there have been several concerns on the actual manufacturer's ability to meet this unexpected demand, especially if we consider that in fact all previous cars Tesla Roadster, Model S and Model X, were late - forever different reasons - with respect to the route plan.

Even Elon Musk has not shown too sure on the timing of the new arrival. Sold at a lower price than previous proposals of the company, the first Model 3 may not be available by the end of next year, "I feel that [the first Model 3] fairly confident will arrive within the next year," he said Musk during the presentation, where the choice of the word "enough" might be strategic.

Hochholdinger has a past elite, having overseen important projects for the German manufacturer: among these we mention Audi A4, Audi A5 and Audi Q5. He was responsible for the production of 400,000 vehicles a year within its activities at Audi, and was involved in the consultancy during the construction of a new manufacturing facility in Mexico. The experience of the former Audi could in fact be invaluable for Tesla, also considering the possible opening of a new dedicated production plant for the Model 3 in China.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
