It was YEARS ago that Tesla CEO Musk promised an affordable EV. That has never really come to happen, yet now we have the following interview with the President of China Tesla who says a $25,000 Tesla EV will happen and be a global auto. Per the interview above, he clearly states the car will be first and foremost built for the China Market first and then extra capacity to build and export around the world. According to the President he is very vague at what shape this EV would take, but Musk's own ramblings would imply a hatchback of some kind. Musk has said that the company is a few years away from having the battery technology to have such cheap EVs, but this is the start of R&D for such a car. Interesting is the story below states that Tesla has killed their own public relations department and as such, no way to confirm what the president says above in an official statement from Tesla.

Congratulations Robert on the new Gig, wishing you all the best. In Auto News, seems OLD is NEW again at Jaguar. The Jaguar Type C race car is going to be built again pure to the original in a limited run (yes no number stated so how limited is probably by how many are sold). This is the 1953 disc brake specification version Jag with a 3.4 Liter Straight 6 and triple weber carbs for 220 bhp can be yours. Jaguar Classic C-Type Continuation | Jaguar Classic

? Thinking on this, I wonder if more auto companies will consider killing off certain models earlier due to the chip shortage that is NOT expected to change till some time in late 2023? ? OUCH, Ford is now having to cut production of the F150 Trucks due to the chip shortage and the fact that unlike GM which uses a universal chip set across all cars, trucks and SUVs. The F150 uses a different chip set compared to the SUV/CUVs and the cars, aka Mustang. Quote: Ford Motor this week was forced to cut production of its highly profitable F-150 pickup trucks due to the chip shortage. The company said it was not able to prioritize production of the pickups because they use unique chips compared with other models.

Yes, Lisa and Renee said hour 24 was the worst but then it just settled down and they slept solid and woke up feeling pretty good. Hang in their my friend, you will get through it and come out on the other side much stronger. ? Interesting read on why the auto companies are having to shut down due to the surge in all things electronic for use at homes due to the pandemic. Carmakers have been hit hard by a global chip shortage — here’s why (cnbc.com) gm is shutting down another 3 plants due to the chip shortage and this is showing why chip companies need to ramp up production outside of Taiwan. Like Ford, GM is not shutting down the truck or full size SUV plants, but rather this will impact all car production, sub-compact and compact CUV production. GM is idling for 3 months the Kansas plant, a plant in Mexico and a plant in Canada. They are also going to half production at their South Korea plant. GM has idled the Corvette plant in Bowling Green Kentucky due to Transmission shortage, not semiconductor shortage.

Which one did you get? Pfizer or Moderna? Both my sister and her partner are front line nurses at Evergreen Hospital where the first case happened in the US and got the Moderna. The Moderna 2nd shot seemed to be very mild as they felt yucky for a day and then fine. My middle sister and her 3 generation household got the Pfizer and their second shot had strong reaction, but after 2-3 days they were fine. Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery Drew.

If you live in a multigenerational household then 50 and above can get it along with everyone else in that household. My sister has 3 generations in her household, so they all got the vaccine ahead of my wife and I.

Interesting the New Stellantis site and how they are pushing the Alfa crap front and center. At least JEEP gets two of the 16 spots on the Home page. One other spot is for Fiat otherwise everything is Alfa. Homepage | Stellantis

Rest, that is a normal part for your second dose. Wishing you for a speedy recovery Drew.

? Unproven tech from Diamler, level 3, Multiple deaths for autopilot from Tesla and Super Cruise from GM that has not had any deaths related to it yet and it is a proven working technology. Super Cruise for the win at this point. We can debate your Model S Level 3 after it has some actual real world road time on it.
