Yango Drive Debuts Tesla Cybertruck Rentals In Dubai
The car rental service has added two of the high-tech vehicles to its Dubai fleet, with hire prices starting at AED 2800 per day.
Car rental service Yango Drive has recently expanded its Dubai fleet with two Tesla Cybertrucks, one of the most talked-about EVs on the planet. Customers can now easily book the state-of-the-art electric vehicles through the Yango app, offering a seamless and convenient rental experience.
The fleet includes two Cybertruck models: the Cyber All-Wheel Drive and the Cyber Beast. Both models are known for their cutting-edge design and superior performance. The rugged EVs boast features such as a bulletproof stainless steel exoskeleton and shatterproof glass, making them not only durable but also extremely safe.
The Cyber All-Wheel Drive model can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds and can travel more than 755 km with a range extender. The Cyber Beast — the more performance-oriented variant — can reach 100 km/h in a mere 2.7 seconds, with a top speed of 200 km/h and a range of over 705 km. Both models come equipped with steer-by-wire controls and rear-wheel steering, providing an exceptional driving experience akin to a sports car but with a sedan’s practicality and turning radius.

Customers can rent Cybertrucks for periods starting from just one day, with rates beginning at AED 2800, depending on the model chosen. Both delivery and self-pickup options are available, offering flexibility to suit every customer’s needs. To rent one of these impressive trucks, drivers must be at least 23 years old and have a minimum of one year of driving experience with a valid license.
To promote the new addition to their fleet, Yango Drive is also hosting an Instagram competition until August 2nd. The winner — selected through an electronic draw — will enjoy a complimentary 4-hour rental of the Tesla Cybertruck. Participants need to follow the Yango Drive Instagram account, tag two friends in the comments, and share the post on their stories to enter the competition.

Google Releases Veo 2 AI Video Tool To MENA Users
The state-of-the-art video generation model is now available in Gemini, offering realistic AI-generated videos with better physics, motion, and detail.
Starting today, users of Gemini Advanced in the MENA region — and globally — can tap into Veo 2, Google’s next-generation video model.
Originally unveiled in 2024, Veo 2 has now been fully integrated into Gemini, supporting multiple languages including Arabic and English. The rollout now brings Google’s most advanced video AI directly into the hands of everyday users.
Veo 2 builds on the foundations of its predecessor with a more sophisticated understanding of the physical world. It’s designed to produce high-fidelity video content with cinematic detail, realistic motion, and greater visual consistency across a wide range of subjects and styles. Whether recreating natural landscapes, human interactions, or stylized environments, the model is capable of interpreting and translating written prompts into eight-second 720p videos that feel almost handcrafted.
Users can generate content directly through the Gemini platform — either via the web or mobile apps. The experience is pretty straightforward: users enter a text-based prompt, and Veo 2 returns a video in 16:9 landscape format, delivered as an MP4 file. These aren’t just generic clips — they can reflect creative, abstract, or highly specific scenarios, making the tool especially useful for content creators, marketers, or anyone experimenting with visual storytelling.

To ensure transparency, each video is embedded with SynthID — a digital watermark developed by Google’s DeepMind. The watermark is invisible to the human eye but persists across editing, compression, and sharing. It identifies the video as AI-generated, addressing concerns around misinformation and media authenticity.
While Veo 2 is still in its early phases of public rollout, the technology is part of a broader push by Google to democratize advanced AI tools. With text-to-image, code generation, and now video creation integrated into Gemini, Google is positioning the platform as a full-spectrum creative assistant.
Access to Veo 2 starts today and will continue expanding in the coming weeks. Interested users can try it out at gemini.google.com or through the Gemini app on Android and iOS.
