    MoviePass subscribers can finally get tickets online.

    The reborn subscription service will no longer require showing up at movie theaters in person to acquire tickets — previously a major gripe for users. Other changes explained in an updated FAQ include swapping out the physical payment cards for virtual ones and letting customers buy additional theater credits in the app if they run out.

    More features due by the end of the year for MoviePass include a referral program, film reviews, and allowing members to select premium large format screens — too bad 70mm Oppenheimer is no longer showing.

    Hyundai is building a big EV plant in South Korea.

    The automaker just broke ground on a new $1.53 billion EV plant in the town of Ulsan that’s projected to open in Q1 2026 and output 200,000 vehicles per year.

    Hyundai also built its first unique car, the Pony, in the same town in 1975, which it revisited with this EV concept build in May.
