I’m currently sitting in the seventh row of the stands at the HyperX Esports Arena in Las Vegas, where 16 Excel whizzes are going to spend the night competing to solve puzzles with spreadsheets. T-shirts are being thrown, all the lights are green, thousands of dollars in prize money is at stake, the energy in here is already off the charts. The stream — on Twitch, YouTube, and ESPN — starts at 10:30 ET, and it’s definitely the most fun you can have on this Saturday night.

Somehow, even after the Cybertruck launched, we still don’t know how many wipers it has. But we do know a lot more about it, including how to open the door! We also kinda sorta got some closure on the OpenAI drama, but as always the CEOs are still out here saying some wild stuff on stage and on the internet. Thank goodness we have a podcast where we get to loudly ask the digital gods: why?

As Elon Musk hands off the first production Cybertrucks to owners, he’s had to show almost every single one of them how to open the passenger door. “You just press this button over here,” he keeps saying, pointing to a spot that I think is on the B-pillar, just at the back of the door.
