DETROIT (AP) — Tesla cut prices on its entire U.S. electric vehicle model lineup for the third time this year in an apparent effort to lure more buyers amid rising interest rates.The cuts that appeared Friday on Tesla’s website ranged from $5,000 per vehicle for Tesla’s slower-selling more expensive models, the S large sedan and the X big SUV.The company lopped $2,000 off the price of the Y small SUV, its most popular model, and added a lower-cost dual-motor version priced at $49,990. The 3 small sedan saw a $1,000 price cut.The moves come as Tesla’s first-quarter sales grew 36% but fell short of analysts’ expectations. The company said Sunday that it delivered a quarterly record of 422,875 vehicles worldwide from January to March, up from just over 310,000 a year ago. But the increase fell short of analyst estimates of 432,000 for the quarter, according to FactSet. A message was left Friday seeking comment from the Austin, Texas-based Tesla on why the prices...

El desempleo baja al 3.5% en EEUU, a pesar del aumento de las tasas de interés

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:29 GMT

 La tasa de desempleo en Estados Unidos bajó una décima en marzo y se situó en el 3.5 %, una de las más bajas en los últimos 50 años, según datos publicados este viernes por la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales (BLS, por sus siglas en inglés).En el tercer mes del año se crearon 236,000 nuevos puestos de trabajo, 75,000 menos que en febrero, de manera que 5.8 millones de estadounidenses se encuentran sin empleo.Con el aumento de las tasas de interés de la Reserva Federal para frenar la inflación, lo que se esperaba era ver un crecimiento laboral sostenido, por lo que el reporte de marzo es alentador para el gobierno de Joe Biden. Incluso, podría indicar que el país se está alejando de una posible recesión.Si se comparan los reportes de los últimos meses, las cifras de marzo podrían decepcionar a algunos sectores, teniendo cuenta que en enero se crearon 472,000 empleos y 326,000 puestos de trabajo en febrero. Esos 236,000 puestos de trabajo en marzo están por debajo de las expectativa...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:29 GMT

VENTURA COUNTY, CA. (WSVN) – Two former teachers of Donda Academy, a private school, owned by Kanye West are suing for $1 million, claiming wrongful termination.“Things were just chaotic, there was no order, they didn’t have sound curriculum. My other serious complaint was that children were being given sushi every day, that was it. From January 17th until March 3rd the kids had sushi for lunch,” said Cecilia Hailey, one of the teachers suing. Hailey and her daughter, Chekarey Byers, claimed they were fired from Donda Academy in March in retaliation for reporting code violations. The suit also stated wages were often incorrect, the school didn’t have a nurse, and medications, sometimes expired, were stored in an unsecured closet.West has not commented on this matter.

Texas homeowner speaks out after glitch in iPhone app sends users to wrong location

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:29 GMT

RICHMOND, Texas (WSVN) — A glitch in the popular “Find My iPhone” app has been sending people to the wrong location in Texas. According to homeowner Scott Schuster, people have been showing up at his door at all hours of the night, convinced that their lost devices are inside his house.“It’s frustrating for everyone involved,” said Schuster. “I have to wake up and go open the door and explain to them that I don’t have their device, and people don’t tend to believe you.”The glitch, which Schuster said has been ongoing despite his attempts to report it to Apple, is causing significant stress for the homeowner and his family. He is worried that one of the people who show up at his door could become violent, putting him and his young children in danger.“I have to worry about irrational people who might be angry or drunk or have had a rough night,” he said. “That’s my biggest concern. Someone coming to th...

Udonis Haslem, Heat reflect on rare 20-year NBA career

MIAMI (AP) — This story would never have been told if Udonis Haslem’s mother hadn’t moved from Miami to Jacksonville. Or if his stepbrother hadn’t been so smart about an airball. Or if Atlanta signed him in 2002. Or if San Antonio did in 2003.Any of those things happen differently, it all changes. He probably wouldn’t be with the Miami Heat right now. Maybe never.Haslem, the NBA’s oldest active player at 42 and a three-time champion, is in the final days with his hometown team. He’s the third player to spend a two-decade career with one franchise, joining Dallas’ Dirk Nowitzki and the Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant.“All I’ve ever tried to do is take care of my people, take care of my city,” Haslem said. “I think that’s why I can sit down with the mayor and commissioners, or I can sit down with people in the ’hood, and be comfortable either way. It’s because of the sacrifices that I’ve made for this city.”Heat President Pat Riley is more succinct.“Udonis is Miami,” Riley...
