#Best suv in 2020

Two Los Angeles mothers are at odds on opposite sides of California's embattled criminal justice system: one grieving the loss of her two sons and the other trying to get her conviction for killing them overturned.

Rebecca Grossman, a rich and powerful Los Angeles socialite, sped her Mercedes through a crosswalk and killed Mark Iskander, 11, and his 8-year-old brother, Jacob, as they were crossing the street with their mother and younger brother.

Nancy Iskander, a biotech executive, grabbed her son, Zachary, who was 5 at the time, and dove out of the way. But she and her youngest son witnessed the crash.

"We will continue to speak up until we see justice and see her pay for the murder of two little boys, because they could be anyone's kids," she told Fox News Digital. "They're not just my boys. They're just [an] innocent 11-year-old, an innocent 8-year-old in a crosswalk."

Grossman, 60, had prescription drugs and alcohol in her system at the time of the 2020 crash, prosecutors told Fox News Digital. Although she was married to a prominent Los Angeles surgeon, Dr. Peter Grossman, she was racing her boyfriend, former MLB pitcher Scott Erickson, home from a restaurant. Each of them were driving Mercedes-Benz SUVs above 70 mph.

Jurors found her guilty in February, but she has not yet been sentenced. Not only has she never expressed remorse, her "games" in court and from behind bars have antagonized the grieving family for years, Iskander said.

"She had many opportunities to show mercy, and she did not show any mercy on my family," Iskander told Fox News Digital. "In fact, she only showed hate – all sorts of hate in many, many ways – as if we're her No. 1 enemy in the world."

The Iskander family has accused Grossman of toying with the justice system throughout the process, appealing her charges to the state Supreme Court before trial and then in March attempting to tamper with the jury.

Deputy District Attorneys Ryan Gould and Jamie Castro sent jailhouse phone call transcripts to the court in March that allegedly showed Grossman violating a gag order on the case and openly discussing attempts to interfere with witnesses and influence the judge, FOX 11 Los Angeles reported at the time.

"It feels so unfair not only to lose the kids but also to find yourself in the middle of a fight and with a person who wants to hurt you as much as possible in the middle of it," Iskander said.

Adding insult to injury, Grossman hired defense attorney James Spertus to handle her post-conviction matters – another "game" that the Iskanders say is an attempt to sway the scales of justice in Grossman's favor. Spertus is a friend of the judge's, they say, and he is also representing the disgraced former deputy district attorney, Diana Teran, who is under indictment on 11 unrelated felony charges. She happens to be the former supervisor of the unit that prosecuted Grossman.

Rather than seek Spertus' removal from the case, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon's office briefly removed the lead prosecutors instead, a move that caused widespread public backlash.

"It was heart-wrenching for us," Iskander told Fox News Digital. "It felt we were punished, or we were the victim of another one of her games."

Gascon's top deputy, Joseph Iniguez, backtracked on the move days later and said Gould and Castro would remain on the case, although the chain of command was transferred out of their division to one that hadn't been overseen by Teran.

Iskander said the family is very thankful for the move and believes the duo will do the best job in court.

"Them being not only familiar with the evidence but also the circumstances, and Mrs. Grossman's strategies into getting more delays or causing a conflict of interest, they are familiar with that," she told Fox News Digital. "And then they got to know Mark and Jacob through the years. It's been four years that we've been together. So, I feel like to hand it to someone who never worked on it before, at this point, it doesn't make any sense."

Grossman is due back in court Friday as part of a bid for a new trial. She faces up to 34 years in prison for her conviction on two counts of second-degree murder, vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run resulting in death.

While Spertus has alleged prosecutorial misconduct and is seeking a new trial, prosecutors are vying to have him removed from Grossman's defense due to his attorney-client relationship with Teran.

Spertus denied having any conflict of interest involving his representation of either party. He told Fox News Digital he expects the state attorney general's case against Teran to fail.

As for Iskander, she is hoping the case finally comes to a conclusion so she and her family can heal. As part of the process, she and her husband have become devoted to charity by founding an orphanage and a foster care nonprofit while raising money for scholarships for local children through the Mark and Jacob Iskander Foundation.

"A person killed two children. They didn't do anything wrong. She's a murderer," Iskander said. "It should be a straightforward process, right? And I mean, for society, it has to be a straightforward process."

How many hrt's are in this Wikipedia page?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in_electric_vehicle

Thanks for the ask, but lovingly I aint doing.... all that...

This is an 8500 word article of very big words and I am a human being, not a machine. That being said, I'm not outright denying this ask, but I'm not going to do 8500 words of tedious, painstaking work. This is a fun blog and my commitment to the bit is not worth weeks of work. Thanks for understanding <3

The first section, or summary of the article, has 60 counts of HRT

Plug-in electric vehicle

A plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) is any road vehicle that can utilize an external source of electricity (such as a wall socket that connects to the power grid) to store electrical energy within its onboard rechargeable battery packs, to power an electric motor and help propelling the wheels. PEV is a subset of electric vehicles, and includes all-electric/battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).[5][6][7] Sales of the first series production plug-in electric vehicles began in December 2008 with the introduction of the plug-in hybrid BYD F3DM, and then with the all-electric Mitsubishi i-MiEV in July 2009, but global retail sales only gained traction after the introduction of the mass production all-electric Nissan Leaf and the plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt in December 2010.

HRT 11

Plug-in electric cars have several benefits compared to conventional internal combustion engine vehicles. All-electric vehicles have lower operating and maintenance costs, and produce little or no air pollution when under all-electric mode, thus (depending on the electricity source) reducing societal dependence on fossil fuels and significantly decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, but recharging takes longer time than refueling and is heavily reliant on sufficient charging infrastructures to remain operationally practical. Plug-in hybrid vehicles are a good in-between option that provides most of electric cars' benefits when they are operating in electric mode, though typically having shorter all-electric ranges, but have the auxiliary option of driving as a conventional hybrid vehicle when the battery is low, using its internal combustion engine (usually a gasoline engine) to alleviate the range anxiety that accompanies current electric cars.

HRT 16

Cumulative global sales of highway-legal plug-in electric passenger cars and light utility vehicles achieved the 1 million unit mark in September 2015,[8] 5 million in December 2018.[9] and the 10 million unit milestone in 2020.[10] Despite the rapid growth experienced, however, the stock of plug-in electric cars represented just 1% of all passengers vehicles on the world's roads by the end of 2020, of which pure electrics constituted two thirds.[11]

HRT 7

As of December 2023, the Tesla Model Y ranked as the world's top selling highway-capable plug-in electric car in history.[1] The Tesla Model 3 was the first electric car to achieve global sales of more than 1,000,000 units.[12][13] The BYD Song DM SUV series is the world's all-time best selling plug-in hybrid, with global sales over 1,050,000 units through December 2023.[14][15][16][17][18][19]

HRT 11

As of December 2021, China had the world's largest stock of highway legal plug-in electric passenger cars with 7.84 million units, representing 46% of the world's stock of plug-in cars.[20] Europe ranked next with about 5.6 million light-duty plug-in cars and vans at the end of 2021, accounting for around 32% of the global stock.[21][22][23] The U.S. cumulative sales totaled about 2.32 million plug-in cars through December 2021.[24] As of July 2021, Germany is the leading European country with cumulative sales of 1 million plug-in vehicles on the road,[25] and also has led the continent plug-in sales since 2019.[22][26] Norway has the highest market penetration per capita in the world,[27] and also achieved in 2021 the world's largest annual plug-in market share ever registered, 86.2% of new car sales.[28]

have seen the "you really bought a tesla?" post a couple times now and it's another one of those things that I think people often have misconceptions about

1. the cheapest Tesla (model 3) was the world's bestselling electric car from 2018 to 2020, when it was ousted by the 2nd-cheapest Tesla (model Y). the model Y was the single best selling car in the world in the first quarter of 2023. they are very popular.

2. the cheapest Tesla is $40,240 new. with the $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles, a price tag of $32,740 puts it on par with the Honda Odyssey minivan's base price or with slightly nicer trims of SUVs like the Subaru Outback or Toyota RAV4, and only about $100 more than a new Prius Prime. People in California may also qualify for an additional $2000-$5000 rebate for buying one, bringing the price down to $27,740 - just $1000 more than a new Toyota Camry.

3. the concerns about safety are often weighted against an incorrect baseline - so far, current data show that electric vehicles aren't more likely to catch fire in an accident than gas vehicles and are actually less likely to do so (but this is difficult to get solid data on. there's a bunch of articles reporting on a study by an insurance company showing a massive reduction in fire risk but the underlying data are highly suspicious).

4. the big point of distrust that I think is grounded: recalls. some of the 22 (22!) model 3 recalls are ~trivial, like "the driver's side sun visor may be missing the airbag warning sticker", but some are more serious, like "the airbags might not be correctly connected to the car." it seems like a lot of the issues have been addressed on the current (2023-2027) line, but the recurring problems with things ranging from minor software issues to pretty serious function issues are good cause for concern. None of the ones I've read about seem as severe as Toyota's "oops the accelerator gets stuck and your car can't stop moving forward" recall or Ford's "oops the engine explodes" recalls [plural], and even the worst ones are on par with things we've seen before especially from US automakers (glaring at Ford, GM, and Ford again). Ford and GM are both guilty of continuing to use known bad parts for >5 years with (in one case) thousands of fires and (in another) over a hundred deaths. moreover, GM's Bolt EV is under a 100% recall for the 2017-2022 model years for high fire risk and Ford recalled over 100,000 hybrids for fire risk - so is Tesla worse than GM or Ford? I don't know if I'd say that, but I'd really want a car I buy to live up to a higher standard.

in short, the most popular teslas by a huge margin are the two most affordable ones, which are fairly accessible to consumers (especially in California). the risk of a tesla exploding or catching on fire is not, as far as I can tell, higher than other cars (and it appears to be less likely per million miles traveled than some other EVs on the market). teslas still have a bunch of quality issues, and they still have some stupid design choices - but you can easily buy a shittier car for a lot more money, particularly an American-made one.

Toyota Camry

2017: Toyota Camry – 387,081 units sold

Car sales continue their slow decline in the U.S. in 2017, although that same year the Camry is all new (and labeled a 2018 model). America's best-selling car ranks seventh in 2018 sales overall when trucks and SUVs are factored in. Other Camry sales-beaters include the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, and Ford F-150. In 2020, sales took a 13 percent drop, thanks to the global pandemic that put the world in park. Camry sales in 2021 were a better showing. With a total of 313,795 units of the family sedan sold in the U.S., the Camry took the sixth spot in overall sales. Despite Camry sales falling below the 300,000-unit mark in 2022, the Toyota sedan actually moved up to the fifth spot in overall sales for the year, with trucks such as the Ford F-series, Chevrolet Silverado, and Ram line of full-size trucks taking the top three spots. Toyota's RAV4 SUV, meanwhile, claimed the fourth spot with a total of 399,941 units sold in 2022.

2018: Toyota Camry — 343,439

2019: Toyota Camry — 336,978

2020: Toyota Camry — 294,348

2021: Toyota Camry — 313,795

2022: Toyota Camry — 295,201

One of the best things about electric cars in 2023 is that we are now seeing 1st generation models from the “early years” being improved, revised and facelifted. For the early-adopters in the UK’s EV market, we are grateful for those consumers and businesses for having the foresight and courage to invest into all-electric technology in 2018 / 2019 / 2020, when little was known on how good this form of transport would be (and when public charging infrastructure was still in its early inception). And VW’s electric Golf replacement, the ID.3, was first shown to the world in 2016 before being pushed into production in 2019 with deliveries taking place around 2020 around Europe (including the UK). As one would expect, the ID3 was fairly popular, amassing some 11,032 registrations in 2021 (it was the 3rd best-selling EV in the UK) followed by becoming the 4th best-selling UK EV with 9,178 registrations in 2022! (see SMMT for more details - https://media.smmt.co.uk/). Launching with a Pure battery (45 kWh), Pro battery (58 kWh) and Pro S configuration (77 kWh), VW’s all-electric hatchback filled a necessary hole in the UK’s automotive market, which was historically dominated by SUVs and luxury / prestige options. Winning awards, like the Which? Best Buy of 2023 (https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/new-and-used-cars/volkswagen-id-3-2020), does prove that this is very much the zero-emission Golf equivalent.   

 But the “future of driving” is not a completed model and the German group have now confirmed a series of external, integral and technological improvements to this popular EV (see VW - https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/electric-and-hybrid/electric-cars/the-new-id3.html). As the “evolution of electric mobility” continues, the brand have confirmed some truly existing updates including:

  Exterior - new colours such as Dark Olivine Green,     sharper profile at the front together with new tail light clusters and     dynamic turn signals plus IQ.Light LED matrix headlights set to be     offered. New alloy options including the 19” Wellington and 20” Sanya     alloys, a new Exterior Package will allow drivers to add LED matrix     headlights with automatic lighting control, LED tail lights, illuminated     strip between headlights and tinted rear windows. An Exterior Packages     PLUS includes a panoramic roof and sun blind;   

  Interior - increased options on the dash and door trim,     together with higher quality finish. Ability to upgrade to the optional     electric seats with massage function and high-quality fabric. New     panoramic glass roof with “heavenly views” and sunblind; and

   Technology and safety - 8-colour ambient lighting,     Travel Assist with adaptive lane guidance and predictive cruise control,     Emergency Assist, Area View with 4 cameras, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane     Keeping Assist and Park Assist Plus can all be added to your new ID3.       

 Not unlike many other brands, the ID.3 will be utilising over-the-air updates for continual improvements coupled with the We Connect ID app for synergising your vehicle to your mobile device. Many EV customers enjoy the facility to start and stop charging, or warm their vehicle, from the comfort of the app.

Whether we want to admit it or not, wars are fought over oil and money.

Let me repeat WARS ARE FOUGHT BECAUSE OF OIL AND MONEY AND FINITE RESOURCES.

In 2020, we were one message away from losing our vice president whom listened and didn’t get in the car. He didn’t leave the capitol, he stayed. He certified the election, He stayed. He fought. He did not let all that was planned for so long happen. And yes there WERE SO MANY PEOPLE who enabled the insurrection to happen.

IM GOING TO TYPE THIS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I DONT THINK YOU UNDERSTAND.

IF PENCE GOT IN THAT CAR THEY WERE GOING TO KILL HIM. LET ME REPREAT, IF MIKE PENCE GOT IN THE CAR/SUV HE WOULDVE BEEN KILLED

Idc what you do today. The only thing I want you to do is think about that. Over and over and over again. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. TRUMP WAS WILLING TO KILL.

Trump knew as Trump says “ omg okay I tried to quote him but then I went to truth social and read his new plan to destroy America in the first little post. “Unleash American energy” “approve Trump tax cuts” I’m just over here like??

Oh you mean the path to destroying the planet?? Wtf

Anyway TRUMP SAYS HE KNEW EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN LOL

Which means he knew if Mike Pence got in the vehicle that he was dead.

And TRUMP DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS. TRUMP DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS. TRUMP DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM KILLING MIKE PENCE FOR PUTIN OR WHOEVER WAS WORKING W HIM.

THAT IS WHO YOU ARE VOTING FOR. THAT IS WHOM YOU ELECTED. THAT IS WHO YOU THINK IS SO COOL CAUSE HE “just got shot in the ear and put his fist up”

WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU ALL DOING????

You wanna know why all this is happening?? Because when I saved you all the first time you didn’t learn the lesson. So welcome to the reality.

Welcome to my world the real world.

Welcome to the evil that lurks over you and tells you it has your best interest at heart!

“I have concepts of a plan”

Bullshit you have a plan and you’ll be dead so why do you care when the planet explodes?? Huh??

He doesn’t care. He’s too old, too evil and too much of a narcissist.

TOXIC MASCULINITY WILL KILL US ALL!

It states in a psalm or proverb, that a bad woman tears down her own home w her own hands.

Funny how men destroy the world and blame women. Because I didn’t make his home life happy so therefore he was upset!

Listen. The next four years are in our hands. Okay?

You with me?? We still have time. We still can do things. We can still get this shit done.

Your pocket book, social media likes, volunteer time ect is all yours.

You might have to move all into one house and work less. But you’ll all be home. You can volunteer and not have to spend as much money on consumerism. Try to make something out of something you already have. Learn to see. Be careful whom you choose to buy your sewing machine. Hopefully there’s still somewhere that fixes old ones.

Listen. WE ARE NOT DONE. THE BATTLE IS STILL GOING! THE BATTLE IS NOT OVER! WE ARE GONNA DO THIS!

I just wanna yell ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??

To all these like “I can’t wait till the end of the world” people. lol

Listen. You are a force. They don’t want you to know you’re a force because then you will blow them over. And walk on them into your destiny.

My biggest lesson from elementary school.

“You’re only afraid of others being in power because you’re afraid they will treat you as you treated them”

And that’s all it comes down to fear.

We’re afraid of the darkness and all it consumes.

Please child. Don’t let it consume you.

Please just do the best you can. It’s going to be okay, I promise. I would not walk and do all this just for the end to be so near.

That’s not what’s this is about.

This is about coming together, under any weather, any sky, any day and just doing good things.

Things that make us smile, things that make us dance, things that make us sing, all the things.

Anything that makes you feel free.

So how free and safe do you feel under donald trump?

Is it cause “everything is affordable? And magically when he left office and all his policies went into effect/affect, and now you’re mad at Biden?”

For heavens sake read a book.

Just please for all of us.

Stop choosing to be ignorant. Stop choosing this for all of us.

It’s cruel. And inhumane.

donald Trump is old enough to know better.

And still chooses to be whom he has always been and he uses and then throws away his victims.

And he’s going to use you till there’s nothing left and then throw you away.

They don’t care tho, he’s on their side. So why would they care if he’s a felon?? Why would they care if he destroys everything he touches? That’s what they want.

It’s not funny. I don’t want any laughter.

They will laugh all the way to the bank as you cry that you have no baby formula. Because you couldn’t take the time off work to eat, and take care of yourself to make a supply. Or maybe your body just wasn’t able to? It’s not your fault.

The system is broken. The system is so broken.

So let’s rise up and change it.

We can do it! I promise. We are not alone, we all feel the same way. We just wanna be happy with our families and friends. I promise. In the end once you heal, that’s all you want.

Five facts about electric vehicles in 2024

DETROIT

Electric vehicles had another whirlwind year around the globe, driven by buyers in China, and growth in parts of Europe and the United States, despite headwinds.

In a milestone for China, the world's biggest auto market, EVs hit 50% of new car sales in July. That included pure battery EVs plus plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Chinese companies such as BYD continue to gain traction worldwide with their inexpensive EVs.

Electric vehicles also made headway in Europe and the U.S. Uncertainty around purchase subsidies could complicate matters come 2025, especially under the incoming Trump administration in the U.S. But mainstream consumers remain interested in new models, longer driving ranges, better performance and lower prices.

The transition to electric vehicles is an important part of the shift to clean energy. Road transport accounts for around one-sixth of all global emissions from energy, according to the International Energy Agency. Widespread EV adoption could significantly address climate change.

Here are five facts about EVs this year. Most of the data comes from consultancy Rho Motion.

The global EV market, including pure EVs and plug-in hybrids, grew by 25% year-over-year as of November.

Rho Motion estimates 15.2 million EVs had been sold worldwide ahead of the end of the year, and the International Energy Agency expected electrified vehicle sales to reach one in five cars sold globally. Most were in China.

Mexico sold roughly 5 times as many EVs this year than last, mostly from Chinese powerhouse automaker BYD, according to Rho Motion.

Because China's population is so much larger, its 40% growth year-to-date translates to many more EVs than Mexico's fivefold increase.

Other areas of note are the United Kingdom, which saw a roughly 17% increase year-to-date. That's interesting to compare to France and Germany, which saw sales decline.

In Turkey, the EV market grew by almost 50% year-to-date, driven by Tesla entering the market last year and Togg, a Turkish auto company, ramping up its sales.

In Norway, which for years has been in first place for share of vehicles that are electric, 90% of new cars were EVs.

The best-selling pure electric vehicles were the Tesla Model Y, followed by the Tesla Model 3 — both globally and in the U.S., according to Rho Motion.

The Model Y SUV was released in 2020. Its base version today costs nearly $45,000.

The Model 3 was released in 2017. The least expensive version sells for around $42,000.

Both have been eligible for a $7,500 tax credit in the U.S.

Tesla's market share stood at 17% of all electric cars across the globe through October, according to Rho Motion.

In the U.S., Tesla's market share was 49% through October. That means the company still has the biggest EV market share. But its hold is shrinking as other auto companies combined sell a growing number of electrics. For example, GM, Ford, Honda and more are offering a wider variety of EVs at lower prices and sizes and are chipping away at Tesla's longstanding lead.

Tesla remains the most valuable auto company in the world, with a market value of $1.4 trillion.

From Vintage to Modern: Used Engines and Transmissions for Every Vehicle

The automotive world has always been a blend of nostalgia and innovation. From classic cars that evoke memories of a bygone era to cutting-edge modern vehicles that push the limits of technology, every vehicle tells a story. But when it comes to maintaining or restoring these vehicles, the engine and transmission are at the heart of their performance. At Vander Engine, we specialize in providing top-quality used engines and transmissions for every type of vehicle, from vintage classics to modern marvels.

Why Choose Used Engines and Transmissions?

When it’s time to replace an engine or transmission, many car owners and enthusiasts are faced with a tough decision: new, rebuilt, or used? For a growing number of individuals, used engines and transmissions present the ideal balance of affordability, quality, and sustainability. Here are a few reasons why opting for used parts might be the best choice:

Cost Efficiency: Purchasing used engines and transmissions can save up to 50% compared to new or rebuilt parts, offering budget-conscious drivers a reliable alternative.

Environmental Benefits: Reusing engines and transmissions reduces the demand for new manufacturing, helping to minimize environmental impact. This contributes to a more sustainable future by recycling existing parts.

Availability of Rare Parts: For owners of vintage or classic cars, finding brand-new parts can be a challenge. Used engines and transmissions often provide access to components that are no longer in production, making them a lifeline for restoration projects.

Supporting Every Era: From Vintage Beauties to Modern Powerhouses

At Vander Engine, we understand the unique requirements of vehicles across all eras. Whether you're restoring a 1960s muscle car or keeping your 2020 SUV in top shape, we have a broad inventory to meet your needs.

Engines and Transmissions for Vintage Cars

Classic car restoration requires a delicate balance of authenticity and functionality. Whether you're bringing a vintage Ford Mustang back to life or reviving a Chevrolet Bel Air, having the right engine and transmission is critical. We offer a wide selection of used vintage engines and transmissions to help you preserve the original spirit of your car while ensuring it performs like a dream.

Modern Vehicle Solutions

For those driving newer models, replacing an engine or transmission doesn’t have to be an expensive ordeal. Our inventory includes reliable used engines and transmissions for today’s most popular vehicles, ensuring you can get back on the road without breaking the bank. From fuel-efficient compact cars to robust SUVs and trucks, Vander Engine has the parts to keep your modern vehicle running smoothly.

Quality You Can Trust

When it comes to purchasing used automotive parts, quality is key. At Vander Engine, we rigorously inspect and test every engine and transmission before it reaches our customers. Our commitment to excellence ensures that you receive parts that are in top condition, offering both durability and performance.

Nationwide Shipping, Comprehensive Support

No matter where you are in the USA, Vander Engine has you covered. We provide nationwide shipping, ensuring that your used engine or transmission arrives promptly and safely. Additionally, our customer support team is available to assist with any questions you might have regarding compatibility, installation, or maintenance.

Final Thoughts: The Perfect Fit for Your Vehicle

Whether you’re restoring a classic car or maintaining a modern one, finding the right engine or transmission is essential for longevity and performance. At Vander Engine, our extensive inventory of used engines and transmissions is designed to meet the needs of every vehicle owner, from vintage enthusiasts to modern commuters.

Elon Musk Postpones Launch of Self-Driving Taxis

Tesla shares have dropped after delaying the launch of its self-driving taxis. The electric car maker’s shares fell 1.8% in premarket trading following an 8.4% plunge on Thursday, its largest decline since January. According to Bloomberg News, Tesla has postponed the unveiling of its Robotaxis from August to October. In recent months, CEO Elon Musk has been positioning Tesla as a leader in self-driving technology, beyond just an electric vehicle manufacturer. As a paid-for software upgrade, self-driving capabilities have the potential to significantly boost Tesla’s profits, compared to the traditionally tight margins in the automotive industry. Additionally, renting cars out as autonomous taxis could introduce a new business model similar to Uber, but without the need to pay a driver. History Of Tesla Tesla, Inc. is an American multinational automotive and clean energy company headquartered in Austin, Texas. The company designs, manufactures, and sells battery electric vehicles (BEVs), stationary battery energy storage devices for home to grid-scale, solar panels, solar shingles, and related products and services. Tesla is also developing artificial intelligence and robotics products. Founded in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning as Tesla Motors, the company was named in honor of inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla. Elon Musk joined Tesla in February 2004 as its largest shareholder and became CEO in 2008. Tesla's first car model, the Roadster sports car, began production in 2008. Subsequent models include the Model S sedan (2012), Model X SUV (2015), Model 3 sedan (2017), Model Y crossover (2020), Tesla Semi truck (2022), and Cybertruck pickup truck (2023). The Model 3 is the all-time best-selling plug-in electric car worldwide, and in June 2021, it became the first electric car to sell 1 million units globally. In 2023, the Model Y was the best-selling vehicle globally. Tesla is among the world's most valuable companies by market capitalization. In October 2021, it temporarily became a trillion-dollar company, the seventh U.S. company to achieve this milestone. In 2023, Tesla led the battery electric vehicle market with a 19.9% share and was ranked 69th in the Forbes Global 2000. As of March 2024, it is the world's most valuable automaker. Tesla has faced lawsuits, government scrutiny, and journalistic criticism due to allegations of whistleblower retaliation, worker rights violations, safety issues, product defects, fraud, and CEO Elon Musk's controversial statements.

Rockey Chapter 9

“So, what is your name?” I asked as the black 2020 Cadillac Escalade turned the corner. Matteo’s sister sat right across from me with bright wide eyes, and her lovely smile. Since we got in the car, twenty minutes ago, she has not stopped staring at me. Matteo, who sat behind us with Gio, tried to ask her to stop, but she insisted on making me feel slightly uncomfortable. Gio decided to join her. 

“My name is Bianca.” She finally said. I noticed the kids didn’t have the same strong accent as their two older brothers. And they all seemed incredibly smart...minus Raffaele. I guess that is what money brought them: an expensive education.

“Why hello Bianca! You may call me Rockey.” I said, extending my hand to her.

She took it almost immediately, shaking with all her might. Her eyes never left mine. “I am sorry for staring, but you are just as pretty as my brother said you were.” 

The thought of Nicolò complimenting me had my face turning to the shade of a ripe tomato. Despite the fact that I was currently in the car, I began to fantasize about a wedding…

“We have arrived at the first school.” Arthur said a little louder, snapping me out of my trance. Apparently I had been day dreaming for a few minutes.

“Who goes first?” I asked, trying to get everyone to stop staring at me.

“I do…” Bianca said reluctantly. The excited energy she had before had quickly vanished from her. She gave me the same look of panic Matteo had when he was confronted by his bullies. 

I grabbed both of her hands, and gave her the best smile I could muster. “Your day is going to be great. Keep that sweet smile you have. I promise I will be here to pick you up after school, ok?” 

She still seemed unsure about leaving, so I gently took her hand, and guided us out of the car. Once outside, I knelt right beside her, and began to encourage her.

“Whatever challenges you go through today, remember you are a strong young lady, and have strength to overcome it with grace and class. Don’t you ever forget it, ok?” 

“I’ll try to remember that…” She said quietly. She gave me a quick hug before running down the lush green walkway. There were kids everywhere, running to the entrance with their expensive bookbags, cell phones, and lunch boxes.

Bianca walked past a group of girls who looked slightly older than her. They were murmuring something under their breath and laughing. I could tell she was feeling down; her posture began to drop.

“Bianca!” I yelled as loud as I could. Apparently it was too loud, because everyone turned to face me. But my focus remained on her. As she turned around, I mouthed, “You got this! Chin up!” 

She smiled back, and fixed her posture. She held her chin up and walked past the group of girls with a small degree of confidence. I hope that it lasts the full day.

“That’s my girl.” I said, unaware I had company. 

“Are you the nanny, or are you her sister?” A male voice asked from behind me. I turned to see a handsome (not Nicoló handsome, but none-the-less handsome) man behind me. He looked to be Hispanic, dark gorgeous skin, and a wonderful smile. But I could tell what type of man he was: a fuck boy. Some of the mothers and female nannies around us were ogling him. 

“Well, that is for me to know, and for you to never find out.” I said politely. I began walking past him, but he stopped me before I had a chance to get to the car.

“Forgive me. Let me start from the beginning. My name is Christopher Rivera. I am the teacher for Miss Bianca.” He said professionally. 

“Hello Mr. Rivera, nice to meet you.” I said curtly.

“What is your name?” He asked. I don’t know why, but the entire conversation put me off. Definitely reminded me of how Danny and I met.

Before I could think of something slick to say, Matteo jumped out of the SUV. “Come on Rockey, we need to go!” If looks could kill, Mr. Rivera would be DEAD. It was obvious Matteo did not like this man.

The next two stops were fairly smooth. Matteo refused to let me see him off. When questioned, he said, “I don’t want you falling for my teacher.”

Gio, however, insisted upon giving me a silent, tiny tour of the outside grounds. All he did was point to certain landmarks. I had to fill in the rest with, “That looks cool!”, “Is that your hang out spot?”, and “That’s amazing!” Thankfully, he didn’t need a pep talk before going inside.

The car ride back to the Estate was uncomfortably quiet. Arthur remained focused on driving, while I sat playing with my fingers. It was an odd habit I picked up whenever I was nervous.

After a few minutes of silence, I gave in. I had so many questions that needed answers. “Ok Arthur! I need you to spill everything!” I demanded. He looked at me as if I spoke another language.

“What do you mean Miss Rockey?” He asked; but I knew he understood my request. He had to have known some dirty secrets, or at the very least, tell me something juicy.

“Oh, come on Arthur! You must know everything about the family!” I pleaded.

He started laughing. “Miss Rockey, there are things that I don’t even know.”

“Well, tell me what you do know.” I demanded.

“Well...where do I start?” He began.
