In the wider community where I live, it’s more or less the same. And I’ve discovered, over time, that this area is unique. Even for EV-friendly Los Angeles, I haven’t seen this kind of Tesla density* in other communities. Tesla = EV The enthusiasm for electrification in my community — and the U.S. at large — does not extend to the Audi E-Tron, Nissan Leaf, BMW i3, Hyundai Kona EV, Chevy Bolt or any number of electrics from established automakers. My not-very-wild guess is that most Americans equate … [Read more...] about In My Neighborhood: Tesla In, Prius Out

Cathie Wood, founder and CEO of ARK Investment Management LLC (File image: Reuters) Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood expressed her concerns over auto debt and deflation risks citing a September 10 tweet by Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk that said "a major US Fed rate hike risks deflation". Speaking of the risk from auto debt, Wood said: "This time around, thanks to ride-hailing - and soon less expensive autonomous taxis - individuals are unlikely to prioritise auto debt payments over mortgage payments, which could turn backward-looking quant models upside down. "If residual auto values deteriorate accordingly, the $1 trillion plus in US auto debt will be in harm's way. Autos were the best credit in 2008-09, as individuals prioritised their auto loan payments at the expense of mortgages so they could get to work and stay employed.

However, other economists referenced the labor numbers as too promising a sign to make the official announcement. The NBER looks at … [Read more...] about More Layoffs On The Horizon?
