Nvidia founder, president and CEO Jensen Huang displays his tattoo.

Nvidia co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang had a wide-ranging interview with host Ryan Patel for HP's online show "The Moment."
The CEO spoke about his sartorial choices, including his signature black leather jacket and Nvidia tattoo.
However, he told the host he's unlikely to get inked again. "It hurts way more than anybody tells you."
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang got a tattoo of the company logo when its stock price hit $100 apiece — but he's probably not looking to get inked again.
"So you've got a tattoo of the company logo on your arm. What's next?" asked host Ryan Patel question during a wide-ranging interview for HP's online show "The Moment" that was posted on YouTube on October 26.
"Ageing gracefully. No more tattoos," the 60-year-old shot back. "It hurts way more than anybody tells you," Huang added.
This isn't the first time Huang has complained about his tattoo.
Back in November 2017, he told Fortune he wanted to extend the tattoo but recalled "crying like a baby" during the process.
"My kids were with me, and they're like, 'Dad, you've gotta control yourself,'" he told the media outlet.
It's not immediately clear when Huang got the current tattoo on his left arm. Nvidia's stock has split five times since the company went public in 1999. Nvidia's stock is now $411.61 apiece, nearly doubling this year following the company's blockbuster first-quarter and second-quarter results from the generative artificial intelligence boom.
The stock surge has, in turn, boosted Huang's fortune by 166% this year — his estimated net worth is $36.7 billion as of October 31, according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index.
The tattoo, alongside his black leather jacket, underpins Huang's rebellious signature motorcyclist aesthetic.
When asked how he felt about his status as a fashion icon thanks to his jacket, Huang had a modest response: "Don't give me that. I'm happy that my wife and my daughter dress me."
Nvidia's share price closed 1.6% higher at $411.61 apiece on Monday. The stock is up over 180% so far this year.
Jayne Withers says Gen Zers are usually shocked when she asks them to put their phones away.

Jayne Withers teaches classes in Florida about dining etiquette to both children and adults.
She's seen Gen Zers struggle with holding two-way conversations and putting their phones down.
Her advice is to practice consideration, even if you cannot tip fairly, and be teachable.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Jayne Withers, an etiquette-dining consultant from the UK who hosts classes in Florida. It has been edited for length and clarity.
Two years ago, I became an etiquette consultant and started teaching etiquette norms to groups of children, teenagers, and adults. While I was raised working class, learning etiquette at Cambridge University transformed my life and opened up a world of travel and dining opportunities.
I'm hired to teach courses on modern formal dining, business dining, international-business etiquette, and afternoon-tea etiquette.
I've noticed that Gen Zers are far more independent and socially responsible than older generations, but I've also witnessed Gen Z clients struggle to hold two-way conversations and put down their cellphones during a formal meal.
1. Don't use your phone at the table or during social interactions
Usually, when I ask a group of teenagers to put their phones away for the meal, I hear an audible gasp. While this probably comes down to parenting and cellphone use being a household norm, it can hurt a Gen Zer's chances of social success.
Using your phone in a social setting immediately signals that your attention is divided, and this can be a turnoff to a prospective employer, a date, or even a friend. You're essentially saying, "I will pay attention to you as long as there isn't something more interesting on my phone."
Instead, if you're expecting an urgent call or text, announce this to the group and excuse yourself for the call. Otherwise, keep your phone in your handbag, pocket, or face down on the table, and focus on who's in front of you.
2. Tip considerately
My husband and I used to run a restaurant, and we noticed Gen Zers were consistently the worst tippers. In many ways, it makes sense, since they're earlier in their careers and the cost of living is steadily rising.
My advice for Gen Zers and anyone who cannot tip fairly is to practice grace and consideration in other ways. This could be ensuring you don't leave the table in a mess, you're polite to the staff, and you're not demanding three pieces of lemon in your water.
I also recommend practicing overall consideration with other guests. This means arriving on time, engaging in a two-way conversation by asking questions and listening to answers, and offering an older person your seat at the table.
3. Focus on being fully engaged
I've noticed that Gen Zers disproportionately avoid eye contact or look at the floor when talking. Maintaining eye contact signals to the other person that you're actively engaged in the conversation, which improves communication.
If you're in a work setting, it's especially important that you're fully present. Not being engaged can lead to being passed up for promotions or even being dismissed from the job. Lack of engagement may also indicate underlying problems such as anxiety or burnout.
I saw a lack of engagement with the Gen Z waiting staff at my restaurant. One staff member even asked not to serve a table because they were "too noisy," and she would fall asleep during her shift. I explained that we couldn't be selective about clients.
In social settings, you'll also be far more likable if you offer your company your undivided attention.
4. Be teachable
I love that the Gen Z groups I teach challenge authority more than previous generations. Thanks to the internet and their savvy tech skills, they often have more answers than we do.
The positive side is that Gen Z is bringing about much-needed positive change to the workforce by bringing greater attention to things such as mental health and pay equity.
Sadly, I sometimes see this go a little too far, and I've witnessed Gen Z clients or staff do things like roll their eyes in response to feedback or a question. In surveys, managers have said they find Gen Zers the most difficult cohort to work with, and this may be a result of it being the generation of "having all of the answers."
I think the key is to balance being both critical and teachable. You can do this by asking for feedback or asking a lot of questions.
5. Send a thank-you card after a formal event
I've received many thank-you cards for events I've hosted or gifts I've sent, but only one came from a member of Gen Z, and it was poorly written. A handwritten thank-you card is a powerful way of showing your appreciation.
If I take myself as an example, most of my mail is bills, so if I see an envelope with a stamp on it, and it's handwritten, I get really excited.
If you want to stand out after a job interview, show your appreciation to wedding guests, or wish a client happy birthday, write them a thank-you card. You are guaranteed to stand out.

He says most candidates make similar mistakes regardless of tenure or experience.
Being tired and not preparing for behavioral questions are two mistakes Rizea sees often.
I am a director of engineering in one of the biggest European wearable offices of Google. Throughout my career, I have conducted over 1,000 interviews and participated in hiring committees and hiring boards.
I've interviewed candidates with different backgrounds and levels of seniority, from product managers to engineers, managers of managers, and UX designers.
Regardless of function or tenure, most candidates make similar mistakes that cost them getting the job. Even the brightest candidates can fall in this trap.
Here's an overview of the four most common ones.
1. Thinking you're prepared because you're good at your job
The first mistake is what I call the 'halo of knowledge' trap. It happens when candidates are good at their current job and think that they'll also do great at the interview. This creates a false sense that they're prepared. The trap here is that the things required to pass an interview may be very different from what they're doing in their day-to-day job.
When was the last time any software engineer implemented a difficult algo (like red-black trees) in order to solve a work-related problem? The odds are very unlikely, but candidates are expected to be able to juggle with the theory in an interview setting.
You may have to code the solution to a given problem on a piece of paper or design systems on the fly while debating pros and cons. Coding the solution on a whiteboard or in an online shared doc is very different from what most engineers are used to doing in their day-to-day work.
Successful interviewing is a skill. If you haven't been interviewing lately, you will most likely not be good at it regardless of seniority or experience.
The only way to overcome this is to practice and recall the theory:
Try to solve interview questions on your own, and talk out loud through the solution.
Write code in an online doc or a piece of paper in order to get used to the same setup that will be during the interview. The more algorithmic and coding questions you do, the more you will understand to classify them in buckets. Practicing will give you a frame of how to think about them. You will learn how to identify complexity and make certain solutions more efficient.
Do mock interviews. If you can find a friend who is an active interviewer that is even better. Some companies even offer free mock interviews for their candidates to better prepare them.
Coming out of university, I had a friend who wanted to land a good-paying job at one of the big tech players. Because he read books on interviewing and practiced dozens of times, he could take it to the next level and connect and joke with the interviewers. It became easy for him.
He ended up getting seven offers out of eight companies, who were all competing for him. He told me there were no shortcuts and that his success was based on a lot of practice and reverse engineering the process.
2. Being tired
Most candidates overestimate their performance in future interviews and ignore small things that can help them. One of them is making sure you are well-rested before an interview.
You will experience a sudden drop in IQ during interviews because they're stressful. I have seen many candidates scheduling interviews after a long day of work or at the end of the work week. During the interview, they weren't lacking knowledge, but it was clear to me that they were tired. They'd respond slower to hints (if they'd respond at all) and wouldn't understand my questions or would go on talking about some other irrelevant thing.
I confess, I've made this mistake myself and was disappointed in how slow I was. I scheduled an interview after a 10-hour workday. I got a dynamic programming question, and I couldn't articulate the solution during the interview because my brain actually froze. It was only at the end of the interview that I managed to find a solution when the stress went away.
You'll be doing yourself a huge disservice if you schedule your interviews when you aren't in your top form. Try to bump the interview to a day when you won't be tired. Your interviewer won't be as annoyed as you think — and more importantly, you'll be sharper and in a good mood, and do better overall.
3. Not picking up on hints and going down rabbit holes
During interviews, there may be moments when you get stuck. Most interviewers will give you hints — additional pieces of information that should steer you on the right path — but if you aren't getting them, you could ask.
From my experience, candidates can easily go down rabbit holes that don't lead to a solution or help the interviewers correctly assess them. A good way to avoid this is to pause and ask the interviewers if this is what they're looking for or if they're looking for something else.
When in doubt or when you get some hints that contradict what you are doing, ask your interviewer what they're expecting. I usually set clear expectations with candidates before the interview starts. I will interrupt candidates abruptly if I see them going down a path I don't want. This is in their best interest because I give them more time to demonstrate specific skills.
Don't abuse asking for hints. It depends on seniority, and some hints are ok, but if you need too many you won't be qualified as having actually solved the question.
4. Not preparing for behavioral questions
Most candidates are terrified about behavioral or soft skills interviews. Think about it: Algorithmic and data structures are more objective; you'll know if you solved it the right way or not. But behavioral questions are more subjective, and it's harder to know if you said the right things during a behavioral interview.
The good news is that these questions can also be approached analytically. Behavioral questions validate culture fit with a company's values and the organization. That's it! If you can start from here, you can work backwards.
Look up the company's values on the website or ask the recruiter. Most likely you will get questions that will show if you are exhibiting these values or not in your previous roles.
For behavioral questions, interviewers expect answers along this format:
What happened?
What did you do?
What was the outcome?
Let's say a company considers teamwork one of its core values. Think about examples from your past roles when you went above and beyond to help one of your teammates to be successful or when the team was better off due to your actions.
Think about what happened, what you did and what was the outcome: maybe the project was successfully done and a new friendship started. Examples like this will show that you are already exhibiting these values and that you will be a culture fit with the new company.
Don't try to make things up, though. Chances are, if you're not a professional actor, interviewers will catch that you are lying and you'll fail the interview.
It's better to admit that you weren't in a situation the interviewer described and get another question from them. You could also say that you haven't been in a similar situation, but you can say how you think you'd approach it.
I've put my advice to the test
I experimented with this advice myself. I involuntarily did an A/B test with two interviews that I had.
For one of them, I didn't prepare at all and scheduled the discussion at the end of my work day. For the other one, I invested around 15 hours in recalling all the algorithms, complexities, technical architectures, and best practices so I have them fresh in my mind. I also did some whiteboard exercises and practiced writing code on a piece of paper. I looked at the job description of the company and tried to guess some of the challenges they are facing (growth, technology, organizational complexity) and their needs from somebody in the advertised role. I tried to find examples in my past experience where I was successful in navigating those challenges.
Guess what the output was between the two? It was orders of magnitude different. From "When can you start? Let's get you to meet the founders ASAP," to an immediate boilerplate rejection. I was the same person, but had made different investments when preparing for the interview.
Like most things, the outcome of an interview is mostly based on the effort that you put in
If you ask candidates why they fell into these obvious traps, most would agree that it was an oversight on their part. From what I've seen, some months pass and they will make the same mistakes in the future.
The best thing that you can do is prepare for it. Don't forget that interviewing is a skill. It's worth investing some hours in practicing and preparing for the job you desire and where you will spend the next years of your career. It will certainly be a very good return on your investment.

I tested the BMW i4 eDrive40, a new electric sports sedan.
The i4 isn't futuristic or quirky like some other EVs. It just looks and feels like a BMW.
It's fun to drive, familiar, and approachable.
Not everyone dreams of owning a newfangled Tesla or Rivian. Some car shoppers just want a zero-emission version of a vehicle they already know and love.
That's where the BMW i4 comes in. It doesn't try to reinvent the driving experience, nor is it overflowing with gimmicks or huge touchscreens. It's just a sporty, premium-feeling BMW that happens to also be electric.
After testing a 2022 BMW i4 eDrive40 for a few days, I found it's a excellent option for first-time EV buyers who want something more familiar and luxurious than a Tesla Model 3. Plus, it's a great choice for anyone feeling left out by the flood of new electric SUVs.
At a glance, you'd need a keen eye to determine that the i4 runs on electricity instead of gas.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.

Some basics: The 2022 i4 eDrive40 that BMW lent me for a week cost around $68,000, including some options and a destination charge. The base-model i4 eDrive35 will run you $57,300.
It looks nearly identical to BMW's combustion-engine offerings, save for a few tells.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
That may be a selling point for Bimmer buyers who don't want to veer too far from what they know.
Eagle-eyed observers will notice the lack of a tailpipe and mostly closed-off (though still enormous) grille.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
The i4 needs a bit of airflow to cool its drive unit, but not as much as an engine requires. That's why most electric cars you see don't have that familiar opening up front.
It's a departure from BMW's first electric effort, the quirky i3 hatchback.
BMW i3.
BMW
The i3, launched in 2013 and killed off in 2022, constituted an early EV experiment that kicked off before practically the entire auto industry decided to embrace electrification.
Now that BMW is more serious about EVs, it's launching more broadly appealing models like the i4, larger i5 sedan, and iX SUV.
Inside, too, the i4 doesn't make an attempt at being too futuristic or unexpected.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
There's no TV-sized screen, minimalist ambiance, or sprawling glass roof.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
You do get a moonroof, though.
Instead, the i4's cabin is what you'd expect from a BMW. It's understated, sturdily built, and makes use of high-quality materials.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
Rivals like the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2 serve up refreshingly minimalist vibes and uncluttered cabins, but they lack the traditional luxury feel that BMW and Mercedes buyers have come to expect. (Mercedes' equivalent to the i4 is the EQE.)
The funky door handles have a nice weight to them, and the doors shut with an immensely satisfying thunk.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
None of this is to say that the i4 is stuck in the past. It comes with a generously sized curved display that's crisp, bright, and easy to use.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
It's split into two sections. The portion behind the steering wheel displays crucial info like your speed, range, and battery life.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
It's somewhat customizable, but not as much as the instrument cluster in Mercedes' electric cars.
The righthand section houses the navigation, tons of vehicle settings, media options, and more. It reacts to taps with minimal lag time, making it more pleasant to use than some other automotive interfaces.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
You can also operate the screen using a handy dial in the center console. That helps when you need to select something while driving, which, to be clear, you should avoid.
One gripe, however, is that all climate controls aside from temperature are hidden in a menu. Call me petty, but I think fan speed and heated seats should be one tap away.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
My tester also offered up a handy head-up display, which projected some basic information onto the windshield.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
It's nice to not have to look away from the road to see your cruise control settings and the like.
Another pain point: rear-seat roominess. The way most EVs are built allows manufacturers to create extra interior space.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
Without a transmission and other bulky drivetrain components, there's typically more packaging flexibility in EVs than in gas vehicles.
But BMW left a big hump on the floor, just like gas cars have. It makes an already cozy back seat even more cramped.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
Plus, its sloping roofline doesn't do any favors to headroom, particularly for taller passengers.
The i4 has a hatch instead of a regular trunk, giving it a fairly spacious, versatile cargo area.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
Still, rivals like the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 3 have it beat in one respect. They both have front trunks, while the i4 just has a big piece of plastic under the hood.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
Out on the road, the i4 drives like you'd expect a BMW to — especially when you switch it into Sport mode.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
There are also "Comfort" and "Eco Pro" settings.
It delivers the tight, responsive steering and planted feeling BMW's sports sedans are known for. That makes it a joy to whip through turns.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
Note: My tester came equipped with the "Dynamic Handling Package," a $1,750 option.
It's also freakishly quick from a stop. BMW says the rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 has 335 horsepower and scoots to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
Those desiring even higher performance can opt for the i4 M50.
Switching into B mode using the gear selector dials up the regenerative braking and turns on one-pedal driving.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
In that mode, the car brakes and recoups energy into its battery pack as soon as you let off the throttle.
My test car was EPA-rated for 282 miles of range. Not too shabby.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
The i4 can provide all the way up to 307 miles of estimated range, depending on which trim and wheel size you choose.
And it can charge at a highly competitive rate of 200 kilowatts at fast-charging stations.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
One helpful touch: The range estimate the i4 displayed changed in response to the climate settings. So when I switched on the energy-sapping A/C, my range dropped by a few miles.
For long highway stints, the i4 offers an impressive driver-assistance system that automatically keeps the car in its lane and keeps up with the flow of traffic.
The BMW i4 eDrive40.
Tim Levin/Insider
Tap the turn signal and, if there's an opening, the system will change lanes without the hesitation I've experienced using other brands' features.
The i4 may not be as futuristic or forward thinking as some rivals. But its refined styling, engaging driving feel, and satisfying technology make it a highly appealing choice for anyone who isn't trying to venture too far from what they know.

Biden, 80, announced in April that he is running for reelection.
Vice President Kamala Harris says she isn't bothered by peoples' concerns about President Joe Biden's age.
Harris, 59, made the remarks during an interview with 60 Minutes' Bill Whitaker. During the interview, which aired on Sunday, Whitaker asked Harris why donors seem to be skeptical of her electability if Biden, 80, were unable to see through his reelection bid.
"Well, first of all, I'm not gonna engage in that hypothetical, 'cause Joe Biden is very much alive and running for reelection," Harris told Whitaker.
When pressed by Whitaker, Harris said she doesn't pay attention to speculation.
"I hear from a lot of different people a lot of different things. But let me just tell you, I'm focused on the job. I truly am," Harris said.
"Our democracy is on the line, Bill. And I frankly, in my head, do not have time for parlor games, when we have a president who is running for reelection," Harris continued. "That's it."
"When the American people are able to take a close look, at election time, on their options, I think the choice is gonna be clear. Bill, we're gonna win," Harris said.
"Let me just tell you that. We're gonna win. And I'm not saying it's gonna be easy. But we will win," she added.
"I think it's a legitimate thing to be concerned about anyone's age, including mine. I think that's totally legitimate," Biden told MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart in an interview in October 2022. "I think the best way to make the judgment is to watch me. Am I slowing up? Am I going at the same pace?"
The matter of Biden's age has cast a spotlight on the electability of his running mate. Harris, who is the first female vice president in US history, has faced ups and downs since taking office.
Walmart employs about 10% of the nation's retail workers.
Julio Cortez/AP Photos
The US has roughly 15.5 million retail workers, while 1.5 million Americans work for Walmart.
Walmart's workforce is at least three times larger than that of any other brick-and-mortar retailer.
The company's typical worker is a 39-year-old woman in Dallas earning $18 per hour.
As the largest private employer in the world, in the US, and in many states, Walmart is in many ways representative of the wider retail industry.
The company employs over 1.5 million US workers, or roughly one-tenth of the 15.5 million people employed in the sector. A workforce that size means a worker is at least three times as likely to work for Walmart than for any single other brick-and-mortar retailer. In fact, Walmart employs more workers in the US than the next three largest physical retailers combined: Target, Kroger, and Home Depot.
Those employees live and work in all 50 states, where the company operates over 5,200 locations, from big cities to small towns and beyond.
If ever there was a "typical" retail worker, it is safe to say they work for Walmart.
It's also safe to say she's a woman (53% of the company's hourly workers are), she's white (half of employees identify as Caucasian, half identify as non-Caucasian ethnicities), and a so-called "elder millennial" (the average age is about 39), based on company reports.
She would also work at a Supercenter near Dallas, Texas, where the company told Insider it has the highest density of stores. The state is home to about 500 Walmart stores and 81 Sam's Club warehouses, and over 175,000 workers.
Her job assignment is most likely to be either a stocker, who refills shelves with merchandise, or a digital picker, who collects orders for online shoppers, the company told Insider. Either way, she can be found in the aisles of the store either putting items on the shelves or taking them off.
Although she might be demographically "typical," the job she does is anything but, a worker in Illinois told Insider. The worker requested that their name not be used, as they are not authorized to speak to the media. Insider has verified their identity and employment.
"The amount of sales that a typical Supercenter does is crazy. It's almost like Christmas at any other retail place every weekend," the person said.
More than two-thirds of hourly Walmart workers are full-time, meaning they work an average of at least 34 hours per week — an unusually high percentage among retailers, where the industry average is less than 30 hours. Walmart employees who work at least 30 hours per week are eligible to receive health benefits.
Retail in general sees some of the highest labor turnover rates of any sector, but Walmart's typical employee has been with the company for five years.
CEO Doug McMillon famously started with the company as an hourly employee on the loading docks before rising to the C-suite, and three-quarters of Walmart's salaried managers started out in hourly roles.
"We're constantly working to bring our values to life through our culture and strengthen the ladder of opportunity," McMillon has said.
About 5% of all US workers hold multiple jobs, and the Illinois employee said several of their coworkers worked another full- or part-time job or did gig work when they weren't at Walmart.
"If you work a regular nine-to-five, you could still work a closing shift or the weekends here because we're open until 11 p.m.," the worker said.
Walmart told Insider it does not keep track of how many jobs associates have at a time.
Some 600,000 people work for Walmart outside the US, and while the worldwide median employee earned $27,136 last year, the typical worker in Texas likely makes a good bit more.
The typical employee likely earns $18.12 per hour in Texas, where Walmart's state average wage is slightly higher than its US average wage of $17.50. With a 35-hour average weekly schedule, she would earn about $33,000 per year.
Interns ranked the most impressive internships when presented with a list of top companies, according to Vault.

Thousands of current and former interns were surveyed about the most prestigious internships.
The 13,000 interns rated the top companies on a scale of 1 to 10.
The No. 1 spot didn't go to a Silicon Valley company.
Internships are competitive, and each year thousands of young professionals covet the most prestigious ones.
Career intelligence company Vault surveyed 13,000 current and former interns, and they shared which companies they believe have the most prestigious internships.
From unpaid programs to the best paid internships, the months-long positions offer helpful insight and experience in the corporate world.
Wall Street summer interns can earn over $52,000 before taxes at some firms during their 11-week program. By contrast, there are former White House interns who said they worked intense 60-hour weeks without pay.
Less than half of the internships that were voted the 10 most prestigious in Vault's survey are among Glassdoor's top 25 highest-paying programs.
Vault gave respondents a list of top companies to rate from one to 10, with 10 being the highest score and one being the lowest. The results were averaged for each of the 50 employers.
Here are the top 10 most prestigious internships according to thousands of current and former interns.

A Tesla owner said he lived out of his EV for a year.

A Tesla owner said he lived out of his electric car for about a year.
The YouTuber, Sandro van Kuijck, built a makeshift kitchen and recently took his Model X to Alaska.
Van Kuijck said he's found living in his Tesla can be a cheap way to travel cross country.
Forget van life. What about Tesla life?
That's what one YouTuber has been experimenting with, turning his Tesla into a mobile home of sorts.
Sandro van Kuijck, a YouTuber and the owner of a Model X, told Insider he's been living in a Tesla for about a year and even built a makeshift kitchen into the back of the SUV. Van Kuijck has said he's used the EV to travel to 49 US states and even recently took the car to Alaska.
The YouTuber said he first bought a Model 3 and experimented with living in the car during a road trip to Texas last year, but it took a while to get the hang of sleeping in the EV.
"I was getting kicked out all over the place and I was still paying for charging at the time, so it did get pretty expensive," van Kuijck said. "And then once I came back from Texas, that's when the curiosity of 'Can I live in this and travel full-time?' took over."
The Tesla owner said he quickly learned how to find free charging stations using PlugShare, a navigation app for charging stations. He's also learned how to sleep in the vehicle without often being detected by passersby or kicked out by local police. At night, van Kuijck said he puts up his privacy screens and usually tries to sleep at public chargers so it will be difficult for people to be able to differentiate whether the car is occupied or simply charging overnight.
About six months after he started sleeping in his EV, van Kuijck said he traded his Model 3 for a much larger Model X.
"I'm surprised how I slept in for so long before the upgrade," van Kuijck said. "When I turned around at night, I would hit my knees against the metal compartment in the back."
The YouTuber fitted the EV with pillows and a homemade portable kitchen he'd built shortly after he started living in his Model 3. Van Kuijck said he put the wooden drawers together from scratch and filled them with an induction plate, toaster, blender, and electric kettle that could be powered by a battery pack he'd bought for about $500. In total, he said the renovation cost about $1,200, including kitchen supplies.

"I'll cook my meals in the morning and eat it throughout the day," van Kuijck said. "I'm plant-based so I eat a lot of tofu, avocado toast, rice, and beans, pasta. If it's really bad weather outside, I'll get takeout, but I try to keep my costs as low as possible."
The YouTuber said he spent two months saving to go on his most recent trip to Alaska by working for DoorDash, UberEats, and Amazon Flex.
Van Kuijck also broke down his set-up for the trip in a recent video on his channel.
Van Kuijck is far from the first Tesla owner to sleep in his EV. A Model S owner previously told Insider he took his Tesla on a 19-day road trip and slept in it every night thanks to the car's Camp Mode — a feature that allows drivers to use AC, hear or charge their devices while using minimal battery power.
Despite some of the perks of living in his Tesla, van Kuijck said there are times he's felt unsafe spending the night in his EV.
"I am a bit of a sitting duck and I'm always very aware of that," van Kuijck said, adding there's times he trades Camp Mode for Sentry Mode. "Sometimes at night people come and check out the car, not realizing someone is inside, which makes me feel uneasy. A Model X stands out, especially in places like the Yukon."
Ultimately, van Kuijck said he enjoys the freedom his Tesla gives him, even on rural routes where he's had to find creative ways to charge.
"It's such a unique way of traveling," van Kuijck said. "I can travel on a pretty low budget and I get to see more of the scenery, talk to more people than I would otherwise."

A Russian soldier described the "slaughter" of his comrades in an intercepted call, per Ukrainian intel.
He said that in one instance, eight Ukrainian soldiers were able to fend off hundreds of Russians.
A Ukrainian official said they built heavy fortifications for expected Russian assaults.
A Russian soldier described the "slaughter" of 1,000 0f his comrades and said they don't stand a chance against well-prepared Ukrainian forces, according to a leaked phone call released by Ukraine's Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR.)
On the call, the soldier tells his mother that the whole forest is "dotted with dead soldiers" as Russia tries to take the village of Ivanivka in Kherson Oblast, per a translation by The Kyiv Post.
"There's such a slaughter going on there!" he said. "More than a thousand were killed."
He describes Russian forces suffering heavy losses when coming up against heavily fortified Ukrainian positions.
He said that when a unit of 20 Russians assaulted a Ukrainian position, only "two or three come back."
In one instance, he said, a handful of Ukrainian soldiers fended off hundreds of Russian troops.
"Yesterday Sam flew the plane and said that just eight people were sitting in the trench, just eight khohols. And our men go there by the hundreds, and they are not even capable of taking a fucking thing!" he said. "Khohols" is derogatory Russian term for Ukrainians.
He said that snipers and machine gunners were in the trench, along with a "pillbox" — a concrete dug-in guard post — to protect them.
Insider was not able to independently verify the authenticity of the call.
Ukraine's intelligence department has periodically published the audios of intercepted Russian calls, which Russian media often dismisses as fake.
Russia has been conducting attacks on Ukrainian positions in the town of Ivanivka as they try to push forward toward Kupyansk in Kharkiv Oblast, Ukrainian officials have said.
The spokesperson for Ukraine's Ground Forces Command, Lieutenant Colonel Volodymyr Fitio, said that they expected Russia to try and recapture Kupyansk, so "appropriate defense structures were built," per Ukrinform.
Amazon bought Audible in 2008, and now it's a major player in audiobooks.
The subscription service provides a library of audio content at different price tiers.
Users who want "premium" content must pay more for their Audible subscription.
Audible, which began as a standalone portable media player in 1995, came underneath the Amazon umbrella when the company purchased it in 2008. Since the acquisition, Amazon has propelled it to domination of the US audiobooks market.
Is Amazon Audible free with Prime?
While Amazon is well known for amalgamating its acquired services into its Prime ecosystem and the Amazon umbrella, Audible stands out as an exception. It has managed to preserve its unique identity and subscription, setting itself apart from the bundled services available to Prime members at no extra charge.
Prime members don't get a complimentary subscription nor preferential rates on Audible subscriptions. However, being a Prime member is not entirely devoid of its perks: they're eligible for a 30-day free trial with two bonus "premium" audiobooks.
How much does Amazon Audible cost?
Like most services out there, Audible's subscription model is tiered to cater to different audiences. By merely logging into your Amazon account, you can access hundreds of free podcasts and audiobooks without a subscription, such as Elizabeth Banks' "My Body, My Podcast" or Wondery's "Dr. Death."
The entry-level membership, called Audible Plus and priced at $7.95 per month, opens the doors even further to an expansive library of audiobooks, podcasts, and other original content. This tier gives access to audiobooks such as the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene and Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. However, this tier does not get access to the crème de la crème – the "premium" titles, such as Rich Cohen's The Sun & the Moon & the Rolling Stones and Britney Spears' book The Woman in Me. For those, you'll need to subscribe to a higher priced plan.
Listeners who want access to additional premium titles can upgrade to a $14.95 per month plan to receive one new premium title per month. The annual alternative to this plan costs $149.50 per year and comes with 12 premium access credits; this annual plan works out to roughly $12.46 per month.
For those who find that they need access to more premium audiobooks, Audible does have another tier for voracious consumers: $22.95 for access to two premium titles per month. Its annual equivalent, costing $229.50, offers some savings over its monthly counterpart, equating to approximately $19.13 per month, and gives 24 access credits over 12 months.
How do I get the Audible app on Amazon?
Amazon has ensured cross-platform ubiquitous access to Audible. Users can stream content via audible.com or choose to use the "Audible Audio Books & Podcasts" app available on the Apple App Store and the "Audible: Audiobooks & Podcasts" app on Google Play.
How do you cancel Audible on Amazon?
For subscribers contemplating taking a break from the world of audiobooks and audio content on offer on Audible, the cancellation process is straightforward.

The cancel membership option is in Account details.

Consumer goods giant Unilever reported strong deodorant sales in the third quarter of 2023.

Consumer goods giant Unilever reported strong deodorant sales in the third quarter of 2023.
That helped to drive an 8% on-year growth in Unilever's personal care sector.
"Many people didn't use deodorant as much when they were in lockdown and working from home and some recovery in that is coming through," said the group's finance director, per The Guardian.
People returning to the office and going out socializing again are driving the sales of deodorants, according to consumer goods giant Unilever.
Strong deodorant sales — which saw a 15% growth in the third quarter of 2023 — helped drive an 8% on-year bump in the sales of the maker of popular brands such as Dove, Rexona, and Impulse.
"Many people didn't use deodorant as much when they were in lockdown and working from home, and some recovery in that is coming through," said Graeme Pitkethly, the group's finance director, per The Guardian.
Unilever reported a similar strong deodorant sales growth last year and saw a big demand surge for deodorants after people started socializing as COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns eased.
The product's continued strong performance is likely evidence that return-to-office mandates are firmly in place the world over following the pandemic, prompting people to pay more attention to their personal care as they are forced to head back to the workplace.
Overall, Unilever reported a 5.2% rise in underlying sales in the third quarter of the year from a year ago, meeting analysts' average forecast. Underlying price growth for the third quarter was 5.8% while underlying volumes were 0.6% lower than a year ago.
Unilever's share prices close 2.6% lower at 3,909.25 British pence, or $47.44, on Thursday.
Unilever did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.
