  • The Trade War With China Begins As Tesla Is Forced To Raise Prices
    12 Jul 2018

    Last Friday, the trade war between China and the US kicked off, as US President implemented a 25% tariff on $34 billion worth of Chinese goods. China has already retaliated with an increase in electric car tariffs from 15% to 40%. This means that cars that are imported into China will now be more expensive. According to The Wall Street Journal, Tesla had to raise its prices in China.  The Model X now costs $140,000, which is a significant increase over the old $117,100 price. The Model S now costs $128,400, an increase of about $21,000 compared to the old price. Elon Musk, Tesla CEO,...

  • BMW May Slash US Factory Jobs Because Of Trump-Imposed Tariffs
    08 Jul 2018

    BMW has warned that it may be forced to reduce investment and slash its workforce at its Spartanburg, South Carolina, production facility if President Trump succeeds in imposing a 20 percent tariff on imported EU-built vehicles. This plant happens to be BMW’s largest in the world and ships more than 70 percent of its annual production output to other countries.  But how can US tariffs on imports affect Spartanburg?

  • Ford Faces $1.3 Billion Lawsuit Over Defective EcoBoost Engines
    06 Jul 2018

     Ford is very proud of its smallest engine, the 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost. And it decided to bring it stateside in the Fiesta while offering it as the base engine in the EcoSport. Despite its size, it makes respectable power: 123 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque.  Unfortunately, the engineering brilliance of this little mill has been greatly overshadowed by life-threatening issues. In fact, Ford may be facing a class-action lawsuit over this engine. The lawsuit stems from Louise O’Riordan, who purchased a Ford Focus with the 1.0-liter EcoBoost back in 2014. Even ...

  • Trucks Are Outselling Cars By Two-To-One In The United States
    04 Jul 2018

    Because of low gas prices, people are trading their small cars for large trucks and SUVs. Back in 2013, the US car market was split between cars and trucks, but trucks have seen a massive boom in popularity. Automotive News reports that through May 2018, trucks outsold cars by two-to-one.  Automakers like Ford are changing their strategies, killing off small sedans and hatchbacks to focus on SUVs and mid-size trucks. Many experts predict that truck sales will continue to grow well into the next decade. As trucks become more popular, cars are experiencing their worst sales year in dec...

  • Porsche Panamera Sales Stopped In The US Due To Suspension Problem
    02 Jul 2018

    Porsche isn’t immune to safety recalls, and the latest one involves the Panamera. The German carmaker has announced that it’s recalling several hundred models of the four-door sedan in the US due to a problem with the suspension.  Internal testing showed that some models may have rear-axle anti-roll bars that “do not meet Porsche quality standards.” Potentially, a connecting link could detach from the anti-roll bar and cause damage to other suspension components. Thankfully, no incidents have been reported as a result of this issue, but to be safe Porsche is r...
