▼ + stars: | 2024-10-30 | by ( Nora Naughton | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Tesla's falling California sales point to bigger problems for the car company. AdvertisementTesla is losing some ground in its home state of California, signaling more trouble ahead for the world's largest electric car company. As electric car sales rose 2% in California, Tesla's sales in the state fell 3.5%, according to third-quarter figures from the California New Car Dealers Association. The losses don't upset Tesla's market dominance: the Elon Musk-led company still accounted for more than half of all EV sales in California for the quarter. "Tesla's sales are actually doing great," he said during a recent X space.

"It's gonna sound weird, but success for me was failing," she told CNBC Make It. But why failing can lead to better future outcomes is generally misunderstood, says Amy Edmondson, a professor at Harvard Business School and author of "Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well." "There's one really important misconception about failing, which is that failure and mistake are the same thing," she says. If you're pursuing a new hobby or switching into a different role at work, know that failure is likely ahead. A productive failure meets four criteria, Edmondson says.

In this case, filaments radiate away from a “zombie star” the explosion created. Then, in 2023, astronomers spied weird filaments glowing with light from sulfur within the nebula. Scientists know the supernova created the filaments, but it’s unclear how or when the structures formed. The robust data that the instrument captured allowed the team to measure the motions of each filament and create a 3D map. The Keck Cosmic Web Imager enabled measurements of the velocity of any material within the nebula that emits light.

Swiss banking titan UBS on Wednesday posted a large profit beat, after completing its first wave of client migrations following its integration of collapsed domestic rival Credit Suisse. Net profit attributable to shareholders came in at $1.43 billion, compared with a mean forecast of $667.5 million in a LSEG poll of analysts. UBS defends it is not "too big to fail."

The UBS results come after the profit beat of Germany's largest lender Deutsche Bank last Wednesday and join this week's spate of third-quarter reports from European lenders, including from BNP Paribas and Santander.
