Battery X Metals attended X Takeover 2026, a community event on electric vehicles and emerging technology organized by TOSV, Inc. on October 10, 2026, at Tesla's Gigafactory Texas in Austin, Texas. The company stressed that the event is not an official Tesla event and that attending implies no partnership, endorsement or affiliation with Tesla or other participants. At the event, company representatives exchanged views with EV and technology community members on market trends, customer needs and battery technology to gather insights for its battery lifecycle initiatives. The company is developing its patent-pending lithium-ion battery rebalancing technology, which aims to address battery cell imbalance, improve remaining usable capacity and potentially extend battery lifespan.

- Electric vehicle sales in the U.S. are showing signs of life
According to a new Cox Automotive report, U.S. electric vehicle sales have grown for three consecutive quarters after tanking when tax credits were canceled last year. EVs captured 6.1% of the U.S. market, their best showing since the third quarter of 2025, as prices became more competitive and high gas prices renewed consumer interest. Toyota, Rivian, and Subaru led the market, with Toyota bZ and Lexus RZ sales roughly doubling after a late-last-year refresh, while Tesla's sales fell 20% year over year but still accounted for over half of EVs sold in the third quarter. The article notes that Germany followed a similar pattern: after incentives ended in November 2023, a year earlier than expected, sales fell by more than half the following month, then steadily recovered, with August sales the second highest on record.
- Tesla China Electric Vehicle Sales Jump 5% in September as European Rebound Continues
Tesla sold 95,366 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles built in Shanghai in September, up 5% from a year earlier and the 11th straight month of year-over-year gains. Shanghai-built sales rose 13.7% in Q3, helped by a European rebound, while global Q3 deliveries fell 2.1% against a record year-ago quarter. Tesla is offering discounts of 7,000 yuan on select Model Y versions and 5,000 yuan on Model 3 through the end of October. Automotive margins excluding regulatory credits fell from 19.2% to 16.3% in Q2, and capex is set to top $25 billion this year. The article says discounts could squeeze profits, while Tesla is on track for full-year growth after two years of decline.

Big tech is the focus of this week's earnings season, with Meta (META), SpaceX (SPCX) and Tesla (TSLA) due to report.

- Mysterious UAV Enters Lithuania as NATO Fighters Fail to Intercept It
On the morning of October 18, an unidentified drone entered Lithuanian airspace between 6:00 and 8:00, prompting an air alert and the scrambling of NATO jets, which escorted the object but could not shoot it down due to difficult weather. Debris later found in Juojonis village in Pasvalys district was initially identified as drone parts, and the military says it may have entered from Poland. Latvia issued a similar warning for several regions and cancelled it at 8:12, though its army has not confirmed the object was a drone. Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius said the sabotage hypothesis must be verified, while law enforcement works to determine the drone's origin; earlier, on September 15, Italian Eurofighter Typhoons shot down a drone that had flown into Lithuania from Belarus.
- Corning Is Moving Beyond Fiber Cables. Can AI Networking Pay Off?
Corning (GLW) is extending beyond fiber cables into optical components inside AI systems, having demonstrated optical connectivity with Lumentum and Astera Labs on October 12 and partnered with Nvidia on a planned tenfold expansion of optical connectivity capacity in the US. Its Optical Communications sales rose 32% year-over-year to $2.07 billion in Q2 2026, and management sees a potential $10 billion revenue opportunity by 2030 from a photonics platform, though timing and adoption remain uncertain. Still, the valuation is elevated, with a forward non-GAAP P/E of 44.81x, about 84% above its 5-year average of 24.31x, while analysts expect EPS to grow 30.41% in December 2026 and 33.02% in December 2027. The article notes that slower AI spending or delayed CPO adoption could pressure the stock.
- Google’s Next AI Chip Is Running Late. Why Marvell May Be Fine
GF Securities says one part of Google's TPU v9 design slipped about three weeks, likely due to a redesign, pushing the timeline back roughly a quarter, with mass production now expected in Q2 2027. Packaging substrate yields of just 45% to 50% are a key obstacle, but GF sees no demand problem, citing strong TPU demand from Google and external customers such as Anthropic. The firm points to MediaTek, not Marvell (MRVL), as facing short-term headwinds, so any benefit to Marvell appears indirect. At 63x forward earnings, a 66% premium to its five-year average P/E of 38.02x, the article concludes the delay is not by itself a reason to buy.
- Stocks bounce back, Anthropic's "Public Benefits", and Musk's promise to American kids
The 8:30 show, hosted by Julie Hyman, Pras Subramanian and Jake Conley, discusses the stock market's rebound. Other topics include Anthropic's (ANTH.PVT) commitment to a “Public Benefit” fund, Elon Musk's promise to American children about SpaceX (SPCX) stock ahead of earnings, and doubts over an IPO after Microsoft (MSFT) withdrew.
- Microsoft vs. Alphabet: Is GOOGL’s Cloud Growth Worth More Than Investors Think?
Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOGL) trade at forward P/E ratios of 25.13 and 22.83, respectively. Google Cloud revenue jumped 82% to $24.8 billion in the second quarter, with operating income rising from $2.8 billion to $8.8 billion, while Azure and other cloud services grew 43%. Both companies face heavy infrastructure spending: Microsoft spent $35.8 billion on property and equipment, pushing its cloud gross margin down to 65%, while Alphabet spent $44.9 billion, leaving roughly negative $5.85 billion in quarterly free cash flow. The article argues Alphabet's $9.11 EPS is unreliable because about $98 billion came from net other income, so its 30% operating-income growth better reflects underlying performance. Microsoft has a more diversified earnings base and higher consolidated operating margins, but the key question is whether either company can turn AI demand into cash after paying for infrastructure.
