LAS VEGAS – November 05, 2026 -- BLUETTI's new Apex 200 portable power station starts at $1,099 during its launch window and packs 2,560Wh of capacity into a 26.9kg case aimed at home backup, RV trips and off-grid living.

The base unit stores 2,560Wh and delivers up to 3.6kW

The Apex 200 uses LFP battery cells and provides 3.2kW to 3.6kW of AC output. The 3.6kW figure applies with expansion or active charging. BLUETTI says the compact format answers feedback on the larger Apex 300, whose modular design users liked but wanted in a package that is easier to manage day to day.

"Start smaller for emergency backup, with a clear, stress-free path to scale up," said James Ray, Marketing Director at BLUETTI.

LAS VEGAS – November 03, 2026 -- Players at MGM Springfield can now chase Wheel of Fortune jackpots that reset at values from $200,000 up to $1.125 million, on the first wide-area progressive slots in Massachusetts. IGT and MGM Springfield announced the launch together.

MGM Springfield opens a dedicated zone with 20 Wheel of Fortune games

The casino built a Wheel of Fortune Slots Zone around 20 wide-area progressive (WAP) games from IGT's Wheel of Fortune portfolio. WAP games link slots into one network. Their shared jackpot pool grows as more people play.

MGM Springfield's Vice President of Casino Operations, Ariam Aponte, said the zone gives the casino jackpot opportunities that are new to players in Massachusetts.

Jackpots reset between $200,000 and $1.125 million

The zone mixes new and proven games on IGT's latest cabinets. Highlights include:

Chanhassen, Minn. – November 04, 2026 -- The November/December 2026 issue of Experience Life, Life Time's editorial magazine, is on newsstands now. It features a Norwegian 4x4 interval workout, a guide to seven types of rest and a cover story on why belonging matters for vitality.

Cover story argues vitality is practiced, not purchased

The issue is themed "Move. Connect. Thrive." Its cover story is a Q&A with Geeta Maker-Clark, MD, an integrative family physician and author of Medicine for All People: Science and Ancient Wisdom for Revolutionary Healing. She explains why the most powerful influences on health often happen outside the exam room. She also argues that vitality is something people practice daily.

LAS VEGAS – November 03, 2026 -- Heated apparel brand ororo has launched its first Bluetooth garment, the Unisex 5-Zone Ultralight Adjustable Heated Liner Vest, starting at $199.99. A companion ororo app for iOS and Android lets wearers adjust heat without taking off their outer layers. The app is due for download in November.

The vest heats five zones and fits a range of sizes

The lightweight, quilted vest uses water- and wind-resistant fabric. Its five heating zones cover the left and right abdomen, the lower back, and two diagonal zones across the shoulders and upper back.

An adjustable velcro waist closure, flexible side panels and wide armholes are meant to improve fit and mobility. Sizes run from XS/S to XL/2XL, and the vest comes in black.

External battery pockets and a vibrating power button let wearers operate the vest without removing outerwear.

LAS VEGAS – November 02, 2026 -- HayesX is taking reservations for the HayesX-250, a single-seat electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, at a listed price of $146,600. The aircraft makes its public debut at the 2026 SEMA Show, held Nov. 3-6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The HayesX-250 folds down to fit a pickup or trailer

The aircraft takes off and lands vertically, so it needs no runway. Four folding arms shrink it to approximately 4.25 feet by 9.1 feet for transport in a suitably sized pickup or trailer.

It weighs 245 pounds including batteries and has a published top speed of 62 mph. The chassis is aviation-grade aluminum, combined with carbon-fiber components.

Las Vegas – November 03, 2026 -- Wolfbox will preview a three-channel dash cam that records the cabin in full color at night, a four-camera system for trucks and RVs, and a 6,000-peak-amp jump starter at SEMA Show 2026, Nov. 3-6, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The booth is #10339 in the North Hall.

FlexPilot lets drivers choose up to four cameras

The FlexPilot mirror dash cam system is built for trucks, off-road vehicles and RVs. Its QuadFlex system supports up to four cameras chosen from five types, mounted at the bumper or mirror, on the tailgate, under the chassis or behind a trailer.

A 12-inch, 1,500-nit display adjusts its brightness to ambient light and switches between single, dual, triple and quad views. Front and rear cameras use Sony STARVIS 2 sensors and record in 4K, while exterior, side and interior options record in 1080p.

LAS VEGAS – November 02, 2026 -- SRT Performance has unveiled the Jeep Wrangler Scrambler SRT Concept, an open-air pickup built on a Wrangler foundation that is the first high-speed, desert-performance Jeep concept to wear an SRT badge. It reimagines the Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler, which paired Jeep capability with pickup utility.

A first for Wrangler: independent front suspension

The concept uses an all-new, high-travel independent front suspension, a historic first for Wrangler. Developed with off-road racing champion Casey Currie, it is meant to improve stability, steering precision and wheel control at high speed off-road.

The architecture builds on the system first shown on the Jeep Striker Concept. Currie drove his custom Jeep Gladiator "Striker" to a class victory at the NORRA 500 with it. A trophy-truck-inspired rear axle, a heavy-duty wheel package and desert-racing-informed hardware round out the hardware.

Reno – November 02, 2026 -- Four U.S. Veterans living with PTSD went home with their own purpose-bred Service Dogs after Liberty Dogs held its first graduation ceremony on Friday, Oct. 30, 2026, at its 27-acre campus in Reno, Nevada. The graduates come from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, and the nonprofit says more classes will follow.

Every Veteran gets a dog matched to their life

Each Veteran applied online, then completed interviews and assessments. Liberty Dogs paired each one with a dog by weighing the Veteran's lifestyle, needs, personality and goals against the dog's temperament and skills. The dogs spent months in advanced obedience, public access and task training on campus.

Once matched, each team spent two weeks on campus learning to work together. Housing, meals and around-the-clock support were provided at no cost.

LAS VEGAS – November 02, 2026 -- Royal Purple is replacing a range of legacy passenger car motor oils with a three-tier Performance Line, and the new bottles reach retail in January 2027.

The brand will show the lineup when AAPEX 2026 opens. It covers everything from the daily commute to the race track.

High Performance covers daily drivers and family vehicles

The entry tier is aimed at commuters, daily drivers, and family vehicles. It is designed to prevent deposits and sludge, preserve engine performance, and protect against wear. Royal Purple says it carries forward the formulation customers already use, with a new name and look.

LAS VEGAS – October 31, 2026 -- Karma Automotive has unveiled "Eximius 1," a one-of-one four-seat track car with nearly 1,200hp, at the 2026 Concours at Wynn Las Vegas. It is the first build from the new Eximius bespoke program, and delivery to its so-far-unnamed client is planned for 2027.

Eximius lets clients rework body, performance and powertrain

Karma builds vehicles in the hundreds rather than the thousands. Eximius goes beyond the company's Studio personalization program. Clients can modify a vehicle's body, performance and powertrain while working with Karma's design and engineering teams. The result is a car that will never be repeated. Karma says "Eximius 1" began with a client who loves their Karma Revero but wanted something more extreme. The car is still in development with that client.
