Three of the biggest producers of electric vehicles are reportedly set to pump the brakes on production, citing a bad economy and higher interest rates thanks to Joe Biden’s bad economic poIicies.
Tesla, General Motors, and Ford all have said they plan to slow production essentially until the economy shows some signs of settIing down.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk joined General Motors and Ford in voicing concerns that high-interest rates on car purchases would prevent borrowers from securing financing for expensive electric vehicles. Musk said, People hesitate to buy a new car if there’s uncertainty in the economy. I don’t want to be going into top speed into uncertainty.
Musk also is planning to take a wait-and-see approach to the economy before ramping up the planned Tesla factory in Mexico. Musk’s comments came after poor quarterIy results across the board.
Not only were Tesla’s sales down, but so were earnings per share and vehicle production.
General Motors, for their part, has plans to delay production of the eIectric Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks by a year, citing flattening demand for the electrified vehicles.
Over at Ford Motors, they are cutting one of the three shifts that currently builds the electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck. The automaker made this decision following a summer where they took some of the focus off of electric, instead looking toward commercial fIeet vehicles and hybrids.
Princess Kate and Prince William Mark 13th Anniversary With a Previously Unseen Pic — But One Detail Raises Suspicion
On April 29, Kate Middleton and Prince William celebrated 13 years of marriage by revealing a special snapshot from their wedding celebrations. Yet, sharp-eyed fans couldn’t help but notice a curious detail in the photo, sparking widespread discussion.
The Prince and Princess of Wales shared a black and white photograph taken by photographer Millie Pilkington on their official Instagram account, accompanied by the caption, “13 years ago today!”
In the monochrome portrait, Prince William and Princess Catherine were depicted standing side by side, wearing smiles. The royal bride held a bouquet primarily composed of lily of the valley, Queen Elizabeth‘s beloved flower. She radiated elegance in Queen Elizabeth’s Cartier Halo Tiara, paired with a white V-neck gown adorned with lace overlay, designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.
Online, a surge of thousands of well-wishers flooded in to extend their heartfelt congratulations to the couple on this special occasion.
However, one particular detail piqued the interest of observers, who noticed that Prince William’s uniform in the photo looked different from what they remembered from 2011. One person wondered, ”Why is he wearing a black uniform in this picture? He wore a red one to his wedding. Isn’t this the uniform he wore at Harry’s wedding? Is anyone else seeing this?”
The explanation to this question is quite simple. In fact, Prince William made an outfit change after the ceremony. Initially, he wore the red tunic of the Irish Guards, as he was Colonel in Chief at the time. Later, he switched to the black uniform of the Blues and Royals, as seen in the new photo.
We extend our congratulations to this inspirational couple as well. Recently, Princess Catherine and Prince William made headlines because sources have reported that they might become King and Queen “much sooner” than planned. Check the details here.
