How Tesla’s Woes Are Driving Lucid’s Electric Vehicle Surge Lucid Reaps Rewards as Tesla Faces Arson Backlash Reports from Yahoo Finance indicate that a wave of arson attacks targeting Tesla electric vehicles has triggered a significant shift among American EV consumers, with many abandoning Tesla in favor of Lucid Motors. This trend, spotlighted in a detailed feature last month, underscores how Tesla owners, rattled by incidents of vehicle torchings, are offloading their cars on the used market and turning to Lucid as a safer, more appealing alternative. The luxury electric vehicle manufacturer is emerging as the primary beneficiary of what analysts are calling a Tesla boycott, fueled not only by safety concerns but also by growing discontent with Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s polarizing public persona. Lucid’s recent launch of the Gravity SUV has struck a chord with buyers, amplifying its momentum in the competitive EV landscape. Lucid CEO Mark Winterhoff revealed in a recent statement ...

Supply Chain Struggles Amid Soaring Hybrid Demand Toyota (NYSE:TM), the undisputed leader in gasoline-electric hybrid technology, is grappling with unprecedented demand for its hybrid vehicles, leaving suppliers struggling to keep up and causing significant delays for eager car buyers worldwide. According to four insiders familiar with the situation, the soaring popularity of Toyota hybrid cars has led to critical shortages of essential parts, resulting in months-long wait times across major markets like the United States, Japan, China, and Europe.

With global hybrid sales, including plug-in models, skyrocketing from 5.7 million to 16.1 million over the past five years per LMC Automotive data, Toyota’s hybr...

Presidential Pardon Sparks Outrage and Debate Over Justice President Donald Trump has commuted the nearly 10 year prison sentence of Ozy Media founder Carlos Watson, a decision announced by the White House that has ignited fierce controversy and renewed scrutiny of the high profile fraud case.

Watson thanked Trump and Alice Marie Johnson, the president’s pardon czar, claiming his prosecution stemmedmight’ve been from a malicious campaign, while prosecutors maintain he orchestrated a deliberate scheme to deceive investors...

Analyst Sees “Inflection Point” for Ocado Stock with 400p Target JPMorgan has upgraded Ocado (LON:OCDO) stock from Neutral to Overweight, spotlighting the British online grocery and technology giant as a potential breakout star in the market. Analyst Marcus Diebel, in a detailed note, argues that Ocado stands at an "inflection point," poised for significant growth after years of cautious ratings from the bank, which had maintained either Neutral or Underweight stances since 2018.
