An Energica Experia electric motorcycle has been spotted at a Tesla Supercharger following the opening of the charging network to other electric vehicles.
News of Tesla opening its fabled Supercharger Network in the United States has been met with a combination of excitement and dread. But there is no doubt that one of the coolest things you can now charge at a Tesla Supercharger is an electric motorcycle. An Energica Experia was spotted charging at a Tesla Supercharger in California earlier today.
Posted by Reddit user u/BonesJackson, the Energica Experia was seen charging at a Tesla Supercharger in Scotts Valley, California.
The Experia, Energica’s newest model, is an ADV set to take on the likes of the BMW R1250, the Ducati Multistrada, and even the DSRX from rival electric motorcycle maker Zero Motorcycles.
Teslarati got in touch with the bike owner, who had plenty of great things to say about his newest electric bike. Kelly, the bike owner, has owned numerous motorcycles and even a good assortment of electric ones. However, he found his way onto the Experia thanks to its segment-leading battery capacity and more comfortable upright posture. Beyond that, the Energia’s reliability, immediate torque, more environmentally friendly nature, and of course, its fun in the mountains made it Kelly’s top choice.
Unfortunately, Kelly could only draw 7kW at the Tesla Supercharger, a speed more than three times slower than his average of mid-20kW at other DC fast charging locations. This could be due to the bike not yet being recognized by the charger or some incompatibility with the bike’s own computer; the owner wasn’t sure.
Luckily, the Energica didn’t take up the spot for too long. Thanks to its smaller battery and relatively high charging speed considering its form factor, the Energica Experia advertises it can charge from 0-80% in roughly 40 minutes. Kelly says he regularly achieves 20-80% in under 30 minutes.
Much like many EVs from Ford, Rivian, and others, the Energica gained access to the Tesla Supercharging network thanks to its CCS2 connector that the Tesla Magic Dock now allows customers to charge with.
Following the opening of the Supercharger Network, opinions have been split within the community regarding how this may affect the Tesla charging experience. It’s no secret that Tesla charging has quickly reached its carrying capacity in some densely populated areas, with the worst cases forcing owners to wait in line to charge for hours. At the same time, many view Tesla’s move as necessary to help further EV adoption, particularly in the United States, where charging anxiety runs rampant.

SpaceX Starship Flight 10: What to expect
SpaceX implemented hardware and operational changes aimed at improving Starship’s reliability.

SpaceX is preparing to launch the tenth test flight of its Starship vehicle as early as Sunday, August 24, with the launch window opening at 6:30 p.m. CT.
The mission follows investigations into anomalies from earlier flights, including the loss of Starship on its ninth test and a Ship 36 static fire issue. SpaceX has since implemented hardware and operational changes aimed at improving Starship’s reliability.
Booster landing burns and flight experiments
The upcoming Starship Flight 10 will expand Super Heavy’s flight envelope with multiple landing burn trials. Following stage separation, the booster will attempt a controlled flip and boostback burn before heading to an offshore splashdown in the Gulf of America. One of the three center engines typically used for landing will be intentionally disabled, allowing engineers to evaluate whether a backup engine can complete the maneuver, according to a post from SpaceX.
The booster will also transition to a two-engine configuration for the final phase, hovering briefly above the water before shutdown and drop. These experiments are designed to simulate off-nominal scenarios and generate real-world data on performance under varying conditions, while maximizing propellant use during ascent to enable heavier payloads.
Starship upper stage reentry tests
The Starship upper stage will attempt multiple in-space objectives, including deployment of eight Starlink simulators and a planned Raptor engine relight. SpaceX will also continue testing reentry systems with several modifications. A section of thermal protection tiles has been removed to expose vulnerable areas, while new metallic tile designs, including one with active cooling, will be trialed.
Catch fittings have been installed to evaluate their thermal and structural performance, and adjustments to the tile line will address hot spots observed on Flight 6. The reentry profile is expected to push the structural limits of Starship’s rear flaps at maximum entry pressure.
SpaceX says lessons from these tests are critical to refining the next-generation Starship and Super Heavy vehicles. With Starfactory production ramping in Texas and new launch infrastructure under development in Florida, the company is pushing to hit its goal of achieving a fully reusable orbital launch system.

Elon Musk takes aim at Bill Gates’ Microsoft with new AI venture “Macrohard”
It is quite an appropriate name for a company that’s designed to rival Microsoft.

Elon Musk has set his sights on Microsoft with a new company called “Macrohard,” a software venture tied to his AI startup, xAI.
Musk described the project as a “purely AI software company” that’s designed to generate hundreds of specialized coding and generative AI agents that could one day simulate products from companies like Microsoft entirely through artificial intelligence.
Macrohard‘s Purpose
Musk announced Macrohard on Friday, though xAI had already registered the trademark with the US Patent Office a few weeks ago, as noted in a PC Mag report. Interestingly enough, this is not the first time that Musk has mentioned such an initiative.
Just last month, he stated that xAI was “creating a multi-agent AI software company, where Grok spawns hundreds of specialized coding and image/video generation/understanding agents all working together and then emulates humans interacting with the software in virtual machines until the result is excellent.”
At the time, Musk stated that “This is a macro challenge and a hard problem with stiff competition,” hinting at the venture’s “Macrohard” moniker. A few years ago, Musk also posted “Macrohard >> Microsoft” on X.
Powered by xAI and Colossus
Macrohard appears to be closely linked to xAI’s Colossus 2 supercomputer project in Memphis. Musk has confirmed plans to acquire millions of Nvidia GPUs, joining rivals such as OpenAI and Meta in a high-stakes race for AI computing power. Colossus is already one of the most powerful supercomputer clusters in the world, and it is still being expanded.
xAI is only a couple of years old, having been founded in March 2023. During its Engineering Open House event in San Francisco, Elon Musk highlighted that the company’s speed will be its primary competitive edge. “No SR-71 Blackbird was ever shot down and it only had one strategy: to accelerate,” Musk said.

Elon Musk tends to use social media platform X as his personal platform to express himself, so much so that critics tend to allege that the CEO is no longer serious about his numerous companies.
As per Musk, he is still very much in wartime CEO mode, despite all the jokes and fun posts about Ani on X.
Elon Musk leads several prolific companies, much more than the average CEO. And while Tesla is the only publicly traded entity that he currently leads, Musk is so visible that everyone across the internet pretty much has a strong opinion of him one way or another. For his longtime supporters and followers, however, what truly matters is if Musk is locked in.
Considering that Elon Musk’s feed on X has recently been filled with AI imagery, a good portion of which involve AI-rendered women, some X users have expressed concerns that the CEO may be losing focus once more. Musk responded to one such user by highlighting his very busy schedule and his numerous active projects.
Needless to say, Elon Musk is still locked in. He is still in “wartime CEO” mode.
As per the CEO, even his recent AI posts about AI are “part of a broader vision and strategy.” He also highlighted that SpaceX’s Starship Flight 10 is launching in a few days, xAI’s Grok 5 is starting its training next month, and Tesla’s Autopilot V14 is also coming next month. As per Musk, “long-term strategy is compelling.”
Elon Musk’s comments are quite accurate. While he may seem to spend all his time on X, after all, he is very much still neck-deep in all his companies’ projects. There is a reason why Musk became known as a visionary, and a lot of it is because he really is intimately involved in all of his companies’ projects.
