Tesla recalls 2649 made-in-US Model S in China, blame it on a ... (Hindustan Times Auto News)

The recalled Tesla Model S cars have been affected by a faulty frunk lid that pops open while driving, posing a safety risk.

The report also says that when the Tesla Model S' primary latch is accidentally released, the frunk could suddenly open while the EV is still in motion since there's a chance the secondary latch isn't properly locked. Interestingly, Tesla recalled several Model S sedans in late 2021 for the same reason, and now the campaign has expanded. These Tesla Model S sedans come with a faulty frunk lid, which pops open automatically while driving, posing a safety risk for the vehicle and other cars.

The Tesla Giga Berlin acts as the US-based electric car manufacturer's sole production facility in Europe. Sometimes, it came in the form of regulatory issues while sometimes, the carmaker experienced protests by environmental activists for allegedly using an alarmingly high amount of underground water and destroying the forests. Tesla seems to be in the news again for the wrong reason, but this time the EV manufacturer has not done anything, and neither any of its cars have.

The New Tesla Roadster: Price, Performance and Specs (Tesla Software Updates)

Unveiling the Tesla Roadster, an electric supercar redefining speed and performance. Delve into its groundbreaking specs, sleek design, and innovative ...

The new Tesla Roadster will redefine the concept of speed and performance in the electric vehicle market. As the world moves towards sustainable transportation, the Roadster represents a significant step in the evolution of the automobile. The new Tesla Roadster is expected to be available in three different trims: the base model, the Founder's Series, and the SpaceX Package. I think you know we have priorities as a company where the priorities are mass electrification and Roadster is not a mass product," he said. The Roadster just doesn't fit the bill at the moment. Cutting-edge technology demonstrates Tesla's dedication to enhancing driving safety and the overall driving experience. The cabin is designed to be spacious, with ample legroom and headroom even for the rear passengers, although the rear seats may not be suitable for adults due to the car's angled roofline. Itโ€™s likely the Roadster will have something equally as awesome. The car's quarter-mile time is estimated to be around 8.8 seconds, and it will have a top speed of over 250 mph. The electric motors draw their energy from a massive 200 kWh battery pack, allowing the Roadster to achieve a range of up to 620 miles on a single charge. The vehicle's information panel revealed that, with the addition of cold gas thrusters, the all-electric supercar could achieve a 0-60 mph time of 1.1 seconds. However, Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, has promised this upcoming supercar will not only break records but also redefine the concept of speed and performance for electric vehicles.

[ANALYSIS] Tesla, BYD's price cuts unnerve LGES, Samsung, SK (Korea Times)

A partially disassembled 4680 structural battery pack from a Tesla Model Y, built in Austin, Texas, is displayed under a sheet of plexiglass in Auburn Hills ...

Another point of concern from the standpoint of the Korean battery trio is that global lithium production is expanding rapidly. Samsung SDI is rumored to have shown its interest with Stellantis and GM over a volume commitment for its LFP-type batteries. "Tesla is said to have promised volume purchases of LGES-made LFP-type batteries from its new U.S. He stressed EV price cuts will become a trend not just a short-term fad as the EV king Tesla is simply a "cost-leader" and is clearly setting its tone for the price decline trend. I would recommend LGES, Samsung SDI and SK On to win long-term contracts with their key clients through the stable provision of LFP-type batteries," the senior manager said. "It's quite fair to say that the battery industry is engaged in a fierce race for market share. LGES said it will invest up to 7.2 trillion won for the construction of a second battery manufacturing plant in the U.S. Tesla's progress in terms of reducing its anode production investment compared to Korean and Chinese battery manufacturers is accelerating the industry's drive to reach early economies of scale. But such policy changes โ€• the provision of up to a $7,500 tax credit for EV purchases in the U.S. China's CATL and BYD are increasingly being challenged by the Korean battery trio in terms of volume guarantees from promising clients. "LGES, Samsung SDI and SK On should be fully aware that the recent price cuts by Tesla and China's BYD, the largest EV manufacturer in China, are the beginning of at least a medium-term trend because the global EV industry is moving toward maturity. After exits and bankruptcies, a new order has prevailed in the global semiconductor industry with Samsung, SK, Micron Technology, Kioxia and Western Digital controlling both the DRAM and NAND flash-type chip markets.
