If you think it looks rather like the existing Polestar 3, launched in 2024, you’d be right. On the surface, almost everything is the same – and it looks the same inside, too. Even a much-heralded upgrade for its infotainment doesn’t serve up any obvious visual changes.No, the latest Polestar 3 is all about what’s new below the surface. And, believe me, there is plenty. Take the new 800-volt electrical architecture, for example.…

Stern just closed $10 million in commitments for her debut early-stage fund, Mother Ventures, which focuses exclusively on the mother as a consumer. “In the U.S., moms are responsible for 85% of household purchases and have $2.4 trillion in spending power,” Stern (pictured below) told TechCrunch. “The numbers say that moms are the buyers, and they really are a very unique economic engine.” Stern, a mother of two, is tapping into that spending clout by backing startups that…

Porsche is closing three of its subsidiaries as it copes with falling sales and declining profits, the German automaker announced Friday. The automaker’s battery subsidiary, Cellforce Group, is perhaps the highest-profile casualty. The division had already been through a “realignment” in August after Porsche dropped plans to make its own batteries, turning Cellforce into a research and development arm. Now, Porsche says it’s pursuing a “technology-open powertrain strategy” — corporate-speak that indicates the automaker will rely more heavily on other companies for its batteries. Porsche eBike Performance, which made e-bike drive systems, and Cetitec, a networking software subsidiary that served…

San Francisco real estate has never been very accessible. But the record sales happening right now in the city’s high-end market are testing the upper limits of what even this famously unaffordable city thought was possible. Consider a six-bedroom, 5,700-square-foot home in Cow Hollow, one of San Francisco’s most coveted neighborhoods. It was listed two weeks ago at $7.95 million, so, not cheap. It just sold for $15 million. The sellers, who bought the property for $7.8 million in the summer of 2020 as the pandemic was pushing residents out of cities, nearly doubled their money in under six years.…

Just the other day we spoke about Apple’s plans to use Samsung for its chip production, and now, Samsung finally entered the $1 trillion club after a huge rally in its share price, with investors putting money into semiconductor companies connected to AI.

Samsung became only the second Asian company after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company to reach that valuation. The rally also pushed South Korea’s Kospi…
