☆ Lamborghini hops on the EV trend, revealing its new all-electric Italian bull

CNN —The Lamborghini Lanzador is only a concept car for now, but the Italian supercar maker says it offers a preview of the brand’s very first fully electric model which will go into production in 2028. With no space needed for a gas engine — in a gas-powered Lamborghini sports car, it would be behind the seats — the Lanzador has small back seats. Other automakers, like Rimac and Automobili Pininfarina (which uses Rimac technology), already sell electric two-seat supercars costing millions of dollars. Porsche — which like Lamborghini is part of the Volkswagen Group — took a similar approach with its first EV. Lamborghini has committed to selling only “electrified vehicles,” meaning either plug-in hybrid or fully electric, by the end of 2024.

If anyone still needs convincing that electric cars need not be boring appliances, the Battista is a convincing, if costly, argument. Electric power promises more acceleration and power without tailpipe emissions and, for better or worse, without the cacophony of a V12. But Lamborghini’s current CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, has said that a proper electric supercar isn’t possible with today’s technology. The Pininfarina Battista puts his skepticism to the test, but, I fear, Winkelmann may just be right. The Pininfarina Battista has a $2.2 million price tag and outrageous performance Andi HedrickThe fully electric Battista was designed and assembled by a company spun off from the better-known Pininfarina design firm that crafted bodies for decades’ worth of beautiful Ferraris.

Lordstown Motors sold the factory to Foxconn earlier this year while Foxconn, in turn, agreed to build Lordstown’s electric pickup, the Endurance, there. Another California-based startup, Indi EV, has also agreed to have Foxconn build its car, the Indi One, there. Aside from road-going automobiles, Foxconn has also agreed to build an electric farm tractor, the Monarch MK-V, at the factory. Luxgen’s parent company, Yulon Group, and Foxconn created a joint venture called Foxtron in 2021 to develop and manufacture electric vehicles. Various Foxconn companies are part of an large industry group called the MIH, or Mobility in Harmony, consortium, which is jointly developing the basic electric vehicle engineering platform that underlies Foxconn’s electric vehicles.
☆ Amazon, Meta, and other big tech firms have entered the 'Great Hesitation.' Here's what that means.

From the "Great Resignation" to "quiet quitting" and even "quiet firing," there's a slew of new words that encapsulate the state of work today. Amazon, Meta, and other big tech firms have entered the "Great Hesitation." With economists and business leaders predicting a looming recession, leaders at large-cap tech companies are in an anxious waiting game — and they're starting to cut hiring and other costs as they prepare for the storm to hit. "I think all of these companies are in this so-called 'Great Hesitation,'" one tech-investment fund leader said. Injecting Amazon DNA into a startup by hiring its alumni is a common tactic, according to one 20-year Amazon veteran.
