Is It True: Tesla Buys Components In A Construction Supermarket

Owners of the brand new Tesla Model Y continue to be amazed at the “high technology” used in the assembly of these crossovers: fasteners from furniture parts and electrical tape were found.

The first production copies of Tesla Model Y began to arrive at customers in March of this year, and they immediately showed numerous defects: poor painting, scratches, dirt and protruding threads in the upholstery, sagging door seals, crooked gaps, parts falling off, etc. Six months have passed since then, but the quality problems of the Model Y do not seem to have disappeared: reports appeared on the Tesla Motors Club forum about the artisanal mounting of one of the radiators in the front of the crossover.

It is curious that the owner of Model Y from Georgia, who first discovered this ersatz, crawled under the hood to fix another defect in his crossover – the gaps between the panels, which Tesla refused to fix. Under the skin he saw a cooling radiator with protective strips for furniture attached to it with electrical tape. Usually, such pads are placed on the edges of tables and bedside tables so that children and animals do not get hurt by them. The purpose of these parts in an electric car is not completely clear – they are not in the corporate spare parts catalog. Presumably, the pads are needed to protect the radiator from damage by the metal clamp during shaking.

The owners of other crossovers of the same model promptly opened them and also found furniture stumps on the radiators, and their color and size are different for all, and on some copies the linings were not cut, but broken, that is, they were literally prepared for installation on the knee. “Someone drove to the nearest Home Depot to provide the required quarterly figures,” – ironically the author of the original message (The Home Depot is a large American chain of building supermarkets).

Aston Martin plans: two electric cars, layoffs and closure of the Lagonda project

The British sports car manufacturer continues to make losses and is forced to optimize everything it can. Hope for better times is given by cooperation with Mercedes-Benz and preparations for entering the electric vehicle segment – new electric models will appear in 2025.

At the end of 2020, Aston Martin (full name Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings Plc) brought in £ 322.9 million in losses, and its total debt amounted to £ 726.7 million. Car sales against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic decreased by 32% to 4,150 units, the DBX crossover became the most popular model – 1,516 units were sold, despite the fact that they began to ship it to customers only in the second half of the year.

In the fall of 2020, the new head of Aston Martin Tobias Moers, a native of Mercedes-Benz, announced the expansion of cooperation between his current and former employers, which implies an increase in the share of the German company in Aston Martin to 20% and the use of German hybrid and electric on future Aston Martin models power plants.

Earlier, the Financial Times, citing Lawrence Stroll, chairman of the board of directors of Aston Martin, reported that by 2025 two electric vehicles, a sports car and a crossover, will appear in the British company’s lineup, which will be built on components of Mercedes-Benz, but the battery supplier may another firm to speak. The sports car will be built at a factory in Gaydon, England, at the Aston Martin headquarters, and production of the crossover will be set up at a new plant in St. Athan, Wales, where the DBX has been produced since last summer.

BMW intends to revamp the 8 Series next year: first images

The Bavarian car will receive a refreshed appearance and motor line.

Overall, BMW sales in Europe are doing well, with over the past few years generally positive. However, the 2020th “knocked down” many, including the Bavarian brand. So, at the end of last year, dealers sold a total of 673,724 cars on the old world market, which is 18.3% less than in 2019. If we compare this figure with the results of the “big German three”, it turns out that the brand was unable to overtake Mercedes-Benz (749,162 units, -17.4%), but left behind Audi (601,844 units, -18.8 %).

The current version of the BMW 8 series appeared on the market in 2018. Now the company is preparing to update the model: the proof of this is the camouflaged prototypes of the “refreshed” BMW 8 series Coupe and Gran Coupe recently caught during road tests. At the same time, the film hid only the front part and stern of the two- and four-door cars, so, apparently, the Bavarians decided to stay on the facelift for now.

There are no official images of the refreshed model yet, so artists have the opportunity to fantasize about this topic. The designer of the Spanish edition motor presented his version of the updated “two-door” 8 series.

Judging by the render, the “refreshed” coupe will receive new headlights with narrower headlights. LED daytime running lights can also get a different look (similar to BMW 5 series). Also, the updated car got a new bumper with different air intakes.

New American SUV: Jeep Officially Announces Wrangler Magneto Version

The concept of a new version of the famous model will be presented at the end of March as part of the Easter Jeep Safari (the event will be held in Utah, USA).

The Jeep brand is now owned by the auto giant Stellantis, it was formed at the beginning of this year. The new player in the global car market is the result of the merger of the Italian-American concern Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the French PSA group. Let us remind you that the “old” names of the parties participating in the merger were abolished, while all brands retained their former names. Stellantis ranks fourth in the world in terms of the volume of cars produced.

Last month it became known that Stellantis had filed a trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office – the name Magneto was then discussed. According to the information specified in the application, this trademark applies to “cars, namely concept cars.”

At the same time it was reported that Jeep is likely to present a concept of a new version of the Wrangler SUV, which will be given the name Magneto, at the end of this month. The debut will take place as part of the Easter Jeep Safari event in Utah, USA, scheduled to kick off on March 27th. Now the company has shown teasers of two new versions of the famous model.

One of the concepts is likely to be named Magneto. It is possible that this will be a completely electric modification, which was mentioned earlier, or one of the versions created on the basis of the Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid.

It is a good grill when it comes to grilling and a detailed explanation on <a href="https://grillsguide.com/how-to-smoke-meat-with-wood/">How to smoke meat with wood</a>How to smoke meat with wood[/url] using this grill is written. Do check it out!!

Export1:
This is Jamie Oliver’s barbecue inspired by the Land Rover Defender

Jamie Oliver’s latest barbecue designed by the Dutch company Smaac takes inspiration from the design of Land Rover vehicles. As a good luxury product, it has top quality materials to provide food lovers with a way to create their favorite recipes with ease. Roasting outdoors in the sun is one of life’s great pleasures. Taking the word of the successful chef, Smaac collaborated with him to reform the lines of his ideal barbecue to make it even easier to use and really “reflect the appearance and design of the Jamie Oliver brand.” The entire design process began with a wide range of inspiring images that embody the experience of cooking outdoors.

The grill has a small integrated window that allows chefs to see their creations while cooking without the need to open the lid. It measures 1,600 millimeters from side to side, is 550 mm deep and 1,250 mm high. Among the materials that make up this grill, we can find cast steel, aluminum and rhinoceros wood, creating a premium feeling that promises to last over time to provide years of continuous use.

The Jamie Oliver barbecue is completed with a panel with sturdy knobs to control the four gas opening sockets, built-in thermometer, ample storage space and an olive finish clearly derived from the Military Defender. A simple and meaningless design that clearly shows functionality. For example, the robust rotary knobs are a “Yes”, while a smooth and elegant touch panel would be a “No”.

The new Lexus NX was revealed before the premiere: without radical changes outside and a completely different interior

According to preliminary data, the new generation of the SUV will have a rechargeable hybrid version. Judging by the “drain”, a full-fledged presentation of the model is just around the corner.

The Lexus NX crossover has been in service since 2014; it underwent restyling in 2017. It would seem that it is high time to roll out the second generation model on the stage, but, no, Toyota’s premium brand is just preparing for the debut of a new cross. Ahead of us is a teaser campaign, but the design of the “second” NX is no longer a secret: a video (probably official) with a SUV was posted on the Web, and even though it has already been removed, many managed to take screenshots – they hang, for example, on the Club Lexus forum.

There are no radical changes in the appearance – the crossover, rather, has evolved. So, the new NX retained the silhouette of its predecessor, the radiator grille is still in the form of a spindle, the triangles in the windows of the front doors have not gone anywhere, the mirrors are still on separate legs. However, the optics were nevertheless replaced: the LED strips of the running lights are now integrated into the headlights, and the lights are interconnected by a luminous plate.

Inside, on the contrary, nothing reminds of the “first” Lexus NX, there is a new front panel, steering wheel and center console. The screen of the multimedia system is now built into the panel, and does not stick out of it, in addition, the touchpad has disappeared, that is, the display is touch-sensitive. NX also got hold of a virtual “tidy”, the new gearbox selector was moved closer to the driver, and the door openers are now in the armrests. There are no more analog round clocks.

Toyota shows a teaser for the X prologue concept, which is the announcement for a new family

udging by the photo, this car is an electric car. The Japanese brand will show the concept in March, 2021.

Sales of Toyota cars in Europe from 2014 to 2019 were constantly growing, the dynamics was “knocked down” only by 2020, when the brand’s dealers were able to sell 641,597 cars, which is 12% less than a year earlier (the “minus” is probably caused by including the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic). At the same time, there are currently no electric vehicles in the “old world” line of the brand. It should be noted that the regional authorities insist on the development of the “green” direction, gradually tightening environmental requirements.

In the relatively near future, Toyota may have its own electric car in the European model line. It is possible that this will be a whole “battery” family, the first-born of which will be a serial version of the concept that the Japanese brand will show exactly one week later, at the end of March. So far, only one teaser for this show car has been published, titled X prologue.

The teaser contains a part of the “front end” of the novelty: the Toyota logo is visible on a black background, placed in the center. On the sides are C-shaped LED headlights, which are likely connected by a thin light line between the bonnet and the front bumper.

Judging from the image, the car is devoid of the traditional radiator grill, its place is occupied by a plug: this indicates that the concept of the Japanese brand is most likely an electric vehicle. Probably, it will be based on the e-TNGA platform developed specifically for “battery” models.

BMW showed the production i4 liftback and shared details about the iX crossover

BMW is preparing to launch a new generation of electric vehicles on the global market.

Today it is customary to name models of the new generation electric vehicles that were developed on the original platform and have a power reserve on one charge at the level of Tesla, that is, about 500 km. Whether the BMW i4 and BMW iX meet this definition is up to you. At the heart of both new products is the deeply redesigned CLAR platform common to all BMW models with a longitudinally mounted combustion engine.

The unification allows the new electric trains to be produced at the Dingolfing plant, Germany, side by side with traditional gasoline and diesel models, with much more design changes compared to the BMW iX3 purely conversion rear-wheel drive electric crossover, which debuted last year and is made in China. BMW will not have an electric vehicle platform created from scratch until 2025.

The premiere of the BMW iX took place in November last year, but then the company said practically nothing about the crossover device, and today prices for the European market and more detailed characteristics have been published, although the press release is still replete with the words “about”, “more”, ” less ”,“ over ”and“ approximately ”- this is a typical PR technique that should induce the media to write about the new product again immediately before the start of sales, already with precise characteristics.
