☆ Tesla to recall over 27,000 Cybertruck vehicles over rear-view image delay
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-03 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

New Tesla Cybertruck vehicles parked at a logistics drop zone in Seattle, Washington, US, on Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024. Tesla said on Thursday it would recall most Cybertrucks in the U.S. due to delayed rear-view camera images that could impair driver visibility and increase crash risks, adding that a software update would resolve the issue. The recall covers more than 27,000 Cybertrucks, Tesla said in a report filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Cybertruck's system in the affected vehicles may not complete a shutdown process before it is commanded to boot up, resulting in a delay in displaying the rear-view image, Tesla said. Tesla earlier this year recalled most Cybertrucks in the U.S. over issues with their windshield wipers and exterior trim.

There is no need for panic buying, and we encourage consumers to shop responsibly. Bill Simon, former CEO of Walmart, stressed that panic buying is serious and can have a cascading effect on domestic products. "Panic buying not only impacts the availability of imported products, but domestic products as well as consumers shift their purchase behavior," warned Simon. Walmart and Target did not immediately respond to requests about any panic buying patterns identified at their stores. John Catsimatidis, owner of the NYC super chain Gristedes, said the panic buying is occurring and showing no signs of slowing down.

UBS forecast that 20% of Maersk's total volume would touch a U.S. port that would be impacted by the strike. Acting Secretary Julie Su lashed out at the idea that labor wage increases would be passed onto U.S. exporters and importers.

☆ Ukraine: Russians capture strategic town of Vuhledar in yet another blow for Kyiv
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-02 | by ( Clare Sebastian | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

CNN —Russia has captured the key eastern Ukrainian town of Vuhledar, ending months of resistance and underscoring the scale of Kyiv’s challenge as it heads into its third wartime winter. While not a transport and logistics hub like Pokrovsk, Vuhledar was heavily fortified and viewed as a crucial bastion at the intersection of Ukraine’s eastern and southern fronts. Just like Avdiivka, another strategic eastern town which fell in February, Vuhledar is a victim, not of Russian strategic prowess, but brute force attrition. For two years Ukraine had put up a formidable defense there, as Russia tried and failed several times to take the town. “It’s painful, Vuhledar or rather those who settled there, drank a lot of blood,” he said.

Trucking and other logistics companies are racing to get as many goods as possible out of ports before a potential strike. The vast port operations of New York and New Jersey stand to be most affected, with about 4,500 workers in the region. Kathy Hochul said that her state and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey have been anticipating the strike but warned of potential impacts. Under that authority, Biden could seek a so-called 80-day "cooling-off period" that would force dockworkers to stay on the job. But while the White House has been in touch with the ILA and USMX in recent days, the president is not looking to invoke the law.

Club holdings Amazon , Costco , Home Depot , and Best Buy have been preparing for the port strike for months — attempting to blunt any fallout it might have on their abilities to get goods from overseas. They added that 60% to 70% of those imports arrive at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports. To put things in perspective, for retail goods, the East Coast ports are less utilized than the West Coast ports, Basham said. Due to its size, however, Best Buy often gets priority from its shippers, which could help secure goods faster than smaller competitors.

Ukraine has used long-range drones to strike multiple ammunition depots inside Russia this month.

Ukraine said its long-range drones managed to bypass Russia's air defenses and strike an ammunition depot in the Volgograd region over the weekend, marking Kyiv's latest attack. Russia's inability to repel long-range Ukrainian attacks is nothing new, though. Kyiv has relied heavily on locally produced drones to wage this campaign because it is restricted from using Western-provided missiles to strike Russian territory.
