A Decline in Demand and Slower Production
FAQs
Tesla's Cybertruck, which was once projected to revolutionize the electric truck space, is now confronting a challenge. Recent reports show that the vehicle's inventory has climbed to a record high of over 10,000 units in the United States, according to Electrek.While, Tesla's inventory cannot be exactly tracked but, Tesla's Cybertruck listings can be tracked, as per the report. It is also possible that Tesla may have many vehicles with the exact same configuration at the same location and it will only publish a single listing for it, so the EV maker may actually have way more Cybertruck inventory, reported Electrek.As per Tesla-Info.com data, Cybertruck listings in the US have skyrocketed to over 10,000 Cybertrucks now from 2,400 Cybertrucks in new inventory at the beginning of April, reported Electrek.The jump in inventory could be because of an actual net increase in Cybertruck inventory, but the automaker is also giving huge discounts on the trucks at varying rates, creating several different prices and, therefore, more listings.According to Electrek's analysis, with an average sale price of $78,000, Tesla could have about $800 million worth of Cybertrucks.The analysis also found that Tesla might have slowed down Cybertruck production over the past few months because of a decline in demand, as per the report. Consequently, the spike in available inventory most probably indicates Tesla's move to provide deep discounts, which has resulted in more vehicles being listed and made available in the wider US market, as opposed to an uptick in production levels, according to Electrek.Most of the trucks that are now in the inventory were manufactured in 2024, which means they're already some months old, as per the report. Some of the inventories are even from the "Foundation Series," a production batch that Tesla discontinued back in October 2024, according to Electrek.Tesla's US inventory has now surpassed 10,000 Cybertrucks, according to listings tracked by Tesla-Info.com and Electrek.Many of the trucks in the inventory were built in 2024, which means they're already several months old. Some are from the discontinued "Foundation Series."

Auto OEMs to witness pressure in Q1 FY26E amid input cost surge and operational headwinds: Report
New Delhi [India], July 12 (ANI): India's auto original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are likely to witness margin pressures in Q1FY26E, impacted by higher raw material (RM) costs and operating deleverage, according to a report by HDFC Securities. The report added that elevated prices of key inputs, particularly steel and platinum group metals, are expected to weigh on gross margins, while lower seasonal volumes may further strain EBITDA margins. For two-wheeler (2W) OEMs, an adverse domestic product mix, weaker export contribution, and lower electric vehicle (EV) mix have added to the challenges. The report added that minor pricing revisions are expected across two-vehicles (2W) and commercial vehicle (CV) players, triggered by the implementation of new regulations--OBD 2 norms from April 1, 2025 for 2Ws and AC cabin norms from June 8, 2025 for CVs. The report added that auto ancillary companies are also under pressure, with subdued global demand and tariff uncertainty clouding long-term planning. Tyre makers may get some relief from lower raw material prices, while some players could benefit from a drop in aluminium costs, the report added. However, export-focused firms face risks from rising ocean freight costs and potential disruptions. Delays in the return of migrant labourers could further impact operations, the report stated. Adding to the sector's concerns is an imminent shortage of rare-earth magnets, essential for both EV and ICE vehicle components. With most global processing concentrated in China due to its radioactive and high-cost nature, alternatives like domestic production or sourcing from Japan remain long-term prospects. In the near term, importing fully assembled components from China may be the only viable solution, though this would raise costs, reduce localisation, and potentially affect PLI eligibility, as per the report.(ANI)

Lexus Creates New World Record In Tennis World- You Won't Believe What It Is
Lexus has just created a new world record, and it's in the world of sports; Tennis specifically. Confused? Well, let us explain. The brand and its cars are involved in a stunt where two tennis stars are strapped atop their moving cars while playing the sport. After multiple attempts, the Japanese manufacturer ended up in the Guinness Book of World Records, getting titles for "longest tennis rally on two moving cars" as well as the "fastest speed achieved during a tennis rally on two moving cars." Here's how it was executed. The stunt grabbing eyeballs has been executed with the combined efforts of the brand and Tennis stars Jamie Murray and Laura Robson. To begin with, the brand strapped the two players atop NX crossover SUVs. As part of the preparation and to keep them safe, they created two aluminium platforms and bolted them to the SUVs through roof rack mounting points. They were then secured using four safety straps, while professional stunt drivers were behind the steering wheel, taking the car down the runway of Duxford Airfield in England. Also Read: Tesla Releases First Teaser Ahead Of India Debut On July 15 This is where the skills of the drivers and the players came into play to create the records. While the car travelled at a speed of 47 kmph, Jamie Murray and Laura Robson played with the tennis ball passing it back and forth 101 consecutive times. They took multiple attempts before reaching the record-breaking number. Specifically, it took them around two hours to set the record. After setting the record, Laura Robson remarked, "Tennis is a sport that requires precision, skill and coordination, so playing a rally on top of moving cars travelling at speed is no mean feat!" She went on to describe it as a "surreal experience," while Jamie Murray said it was the "most exciting and unusual challenge I've ever taken on."
