Tesla suspends orders on website ahead of 5 pm ET announcement

The wait is almost over, even if no one knows what we’re waiting for.

Elon Musk said is coming at 5 p.m. ET Thursday.

Users who attempt to go to any of the company’s ordering pages are redirected to a site that says: “The wait is almost over. Great things are launching at 2pm.”

Whatever Tesla will launch is still a mystery. Investors have been expecting updates on several fronts, including the arrival of Tesla’s long-promised $35,000 Model 3, a version of the sedan Tesla has been promising since it unveiled the car in 2016.

This story is developing. Check back for updates.

For the Coalition, holding on means no more alienating the progressive vote

Internally, the prevailing view was to not to rush to an election like Gillard and be stomped, but to spend some time defining himself and his new policy agenda. So he hesitated and spent the summer and the new year formulating an innovation agenda and dithering over big ideas for tax reform, including increasing the GST and giving the states income taxing powers. None of the tax ideas came to pass. In the end, there was a messy process involving a prorogued Parliament, a double dissolution election called on the back of a contentious budget and an arduous eight-week campaign. The government was reduced to a one-seat majority and Turnbull’s authority was forever diminished. The election was to be this Saturday Last year, Turnbull resisted any overtures to call an election before Christmas. He felt he should go as near to a full term as possible. First, he needed time and, second, he feared the public would punish him for going early. Turnbull, as we now know, had settled on March...

Facebook’s $5m olive branch to Australian publishers

“One of the areas we’re focusing on is video monetising, improving yield and returns to publishers. We have been partnering with news publishers and broadcasters for quite a while now; one of the key areas of interest for them is developing valuable audiences but also finding the opportunity to monetise. “We are also providing project funding for publishers that will go towards projects that will help them address those problems directly.” Walkley Foundation chief executive Louisa Graham welcomed Facebook’s commitment to the Australian market. “We work to celebrate and encourage great journalism, and to help all Australians recognise its power to make our nation and our society stronger,” she said. “We look forward to working with Facebook to boost school students’ media literacy skills and newsroom innovation in 2019 and beyond.” Facebook and Google have been the focus of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s digital platforms inquiry, which handed down its draft ...

Is Giannis Antetokounmpo on Pace with LeBron James at 24?

Image
Stacy Revere/Getty Images With his elongated strides, elastic limbs and ferocious athleticism, Giannis Antetokounmpo has turned the NBA into his personal plaything during the 2018-19 season. He’s erased any questions about his superstardom, replacing them with inquiries about his MVP chances and ability to carry the Milwaukee Bucks to an NBA title.  Antetokounmpo isn’t universally considered the best player in the league (see: Harden, James) or a clear MVP frontrunner. Though  Basketball Reference’s NBA MVP Award Tracker , which is based purely upon historical precedent, does give him a 55.1 percent chance at the league’s top individual honor.  But the Greek Freak is doing all this having just turned 24. Bigger questions than MVP debates await  Antetokounmpo. The modern stars use Michael Jordan as the gold standard—a ghost some future Hall of Famers are still chasing . But LeBron James is the new barometer for those who grew up decades later and watched ...
