2:35Zak reviews previously recovered knife, zipper and cosmetic jar fragments from Nikumaroro.

What connects a remote Pacific lagoon, a Tesla Roadster and a New York taquería? On CBS Mornings, those are the subjects drawing the most daily views among its currently active uploads, a distinctly varied trio from Saturday's programming.

The week's most-watched new upload remains "Amelia Earhart plane search expedition update," with roughly 190,000 views. Lana Zak describes an archaeological expedition off Nikumaroro, where bad weather has squeezed the time available to investigate a plane-shaped underwater anomaly. It is a possible clue, not a confirmed aircraft discovery. Viewers keep returning to that distinction, asking what the expedition has actually established and questioning what the satellite image shows.

Elsewhere, "A look at Elon Musk's \"flying\" Tesla Roadster" considers both the vehicle and questions about its use on roads and in the sky. A more earthbound change of direction comes from Santiago Perez: "He left Wall Street to build \"the best Mexican restaurant\" that he could" profiles the Santo Taco creator and the Mexico City flavors behind his New York business. That ambition is Perez's, rather than a restaurant verdict from the program.

Across its fifteen uploads, the channel also covered Katie Zacharia's departure from the White House press secretary role and California wildfire evacuations. It added about 5.8 million views over the week, while subscribers were unchanged. Its current daily viewing is substantially below its usual level.

For friendly morning-show context, TODAY and Good Morning America each collected more weekly views. Within CBS Mornings' own slate, though, Perez's career change supplies a smaller, food-focused counterpoint to the expedition and technology stories.
