While most Tesla observers are focused on the Model 3, there is definitely more excitement to be had for the company’s next-generation Roadster. The prototype has been undergoing a sort of tour of the company’s facilities in the past few months, the most recent of which was the Gigafactory 1 in Nevada.

An Instagram user by the name of Stephen Roth shared four photos of the red Roadster in the facility’s show area. His post comes just over a month since the car was spotted at the company’s Palo Alto headquarters and Fremont test track.

It should be noted that this isn’t the final product. With a long way to go before 2020, the car could undergo a number of changes before its ready to go into the assembly line. That being said, the car is definitely a head turner.

During the unveiling event back in November, Musk laid out the next-generation Roader’s impressive specs. These included a 200 kilowatt-hour battery, 0-60 mph in 1.9 sec, top speed of 250 miles per hour, and a 620-mile of range.

Pre-orders are currently live, but be warned, it’ll cost an arm and a leg. The automaker is currently taking reservations for the $200,000 base version with an insane $50,000 deposit and for the $250,000 Founders Series for an even more insane $250,000 deposit.

But while the next-generation Roadster is getting all the attention, it’s not the only Tesla vehicle currently on tour. Prototype models of the semi truck due for launch in 2019 have also been spotted around the country. One of these was recently seen driving past the UPS headquarters with a whisper quiet…

Google has announced that it is banning all -s about cryptocurrencies, initial coin offerings (ICOs), binary options, or anything related to these starting June.

According to Google, this move is part of a policy update that will put a ban on anything that is financially risky like “Contracts for Difference, rolling spot forex, and financial spread betting.”

According to reports, searching for the term “Bitcoin” on the Google page will show -s of how to buy the cryptocurrency. Currently, those are the top results. Come June, however, no such ad will be seen on the research platform.

Google reminds advertisers that it is very strict with its advertising policy. In a post published on Wednesday, March 14, Google boasted that it removed over 100 bad ads per second in 2017. That is a total of 3.2 billion ads that it deemed violated its advertising policies. “This means we’re able to block the majority of bad ad experiences, like malvertising and phishing scams, before the scams impact people,” wrote Scott Spencer, Google director of sustainable ads.

This new move from Google mirrors a similar policy from Facebook, which banned all kinds of cryptocurrency ads in January. In a blog post, Facebook product management director Rob Leathern explained that the social media platform will no longer allow ads that “promote financial products and services that are frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices.”

A start-up company unveils its plan to print affordable 3D houses in a bid to help the millions of homeless people around the world.

According to a 2017 report from World Resources Institute’s Ross Center for Sustainable Cities, at least 1.2 billion people around the world do not have shelter. Austin-based start-up ICON wants to change that.

The company announced at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference and Festivals that with its new 3D printing technology, it hopes to ease the construction of new houses and make it much more affordable.

ICON showed that it has developed an impressive new method where it can build houses in just 12 to 24 hours, a great fraction of the time needed to build a 650-square-foot house out of cement when using the traditional way. The house, which features a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, and even a porch, is priced at $10,000.

“It’s much cheaper than the typical American home,” said Jason Ballard, one of ICON’s three founders. ICON hopes to still bring that cost down to as low as $4,000.

The house was built by first creating a schematic of the house and the location. This will then be placed into a computer, which will tell a massive Vulcan printer how and where to place the cement.

ICON, which partnered with non-profit international housing solutions organization New Story, hopes to kick off the project by building 100 houses for the homeless in El Salvador. “We have been building homes for communities in Haiti, El Salvador, and Bolivia,” Alexandria Lafci, co-founder of New Story, said in a statement.
