First up, Tesla owners who recently updated the software and firmware in their cars received a surprise from Tesla, Inc, that fans referred to as an "Easter Egg." Elon Musk tweeted out the secret method by which owners could access a sketch pad on their infotainment screens.

Alex reports that SpaceX has passed a milestone. The company re-used part of a Falcon 9 rocket. By re-using the component, the company says it can save about a third of the cost of the launch.
