Tesla sales boom in China

Published

on

Tesla has seen registrations of its Chinese-made cars climb again

Registrations of Model 3 Sedans and Model Y SUVs made at Tesla’s Shanghai factory totaled 28,508 units in June – a 29 percent increase from May.

The strong showing for Model 3 Sedans can be attributed to Tesla promotions that included preferential loans and discounts for full upfront payments.

Tesla continuing to fix software glitches

Tesla has faced challenges in China in recent months, including a major recall for a software fix and some negative publicity after a protester climbed on one of its vehicles at the Shanghai Auto Show in April and claimed a brake failure in a Model 3 had caused a crash.

Data from China’s Passenger Car Association revealed earlier this month showed that retail sales of electric vehicles were at about 1 million for the first half of the year.

Tesla registrations, including a handful that were imported, totaled 132,228 in that period

Tesla has introduced a cheaper version of its locally-built Model Y sports utility to boost sales in the world’s largest auto market in the second half.

RBA maintains 4.35% rates as mortgage applications surge

Published

on

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has decided to keep its official cash rate at 4.35%, citing concerns over the rapidly increasing number of mortgage applications.

This decision comes after several consecutive meetings where the RBA has refrained from adjusting interest rates.

The central bank’s decision to hold rates steady reflects their cautious approach to managing the current housing market boom. Mortgage applications have seen a significant surge in recent months, driven by record-low interest rates and increased demand for housing. While this has been a boon for the real estate industry, it has raised concerns about the potential for a housing bubble and financial stability.

Experts are divided on whether the RBA’s decision is the right course of action.

Some argue that maintaining low-interest rates is necessary to support economic recovery, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Others worry that the continued surge in mortgage applications without rate adjustments could lead to unsustainable levels of household debt.

In light of this decision, homeowners, prospective buyers, and investors will be closely watching the housing market’s trajectory and wondering how long the RBA can maintain its current stance.

The decision comes after policyholders claimed the electric car company’s insurance division overcharged them for coverage.

The lawsuit, which was filed by a group of Tesla policyholders, alleges that the premiums charged by Tesla’s insurance unit were significantly higher than market rates for similar coverage.

The plaintiffs argue that Tesla’s insurance division engaged in unfair pricing practices, leading to overpayment by policyholders.

Tesla has not yet commented on the judge’s decision, but the lawsuit raises questions about the transparency and fairness of the company’s insurance pricing.

It also highlights the growing scrutiny on how tech companies enter and compete in traditional industries like insurance.
