Three of the biggest producers of electric vehicles are reportedly set to pump the brakes on production

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 policies. Tesla, General Motors, and Ford all have said they plan to sIow production essentially until the economy shows some signs of settling 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 eIectric 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 aIso 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 quarterly 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 electric Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks by a year, citing flattening demand for the electrified vehicIes. 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 fleet vehicles and hybrids.

A 32-year-old woman was attacked by a polar bear after she jumped into their enclosure at the Berlin Zoo.

A polar bear assaulted a 32-year-old lady on Friday after she jumped into their cage at the Berlin Zoo when they were being fed.

Before she was saved, she had been bitten a lot.

In order to enter it, the woman, identified only as Mandy K, had to climb over a fence, a line of hedges, and a wall.

The woman leaped over the bars as the bear was being fed at the Berlin Zoo where she sustained injuries to her arms, legs and back.

Despite the efforts of six zookeepers to divert the four predators, one of the bears repeatedly bit the victim on the arms and legs.

The zookeepers managed to scare the bear off and save the woman.

The 32-year-old woman is now recovering in the hospital following surgery to repair her wounds.

Afterward it emerged that she is a teacher who had been driven to despair by her failure to find a job.
