Elon Musk hasn’t been sighted at the picket lines in Missouri, Ohio, or Michigan, where autoworkers are striking against the Big Three US carmakers. Yet the influence of Musk and his non-unionized company Tesla have been everywhere since the United Auto Workers called the strike last week. In some ways, Tesla—the world’s most valuable automaker by market capitalization—set the whole thing in motion.

Tesla’s pioneering electric vehicles kicked off a new era that has turned the entire auto industry on its head. In a scramble to compete with Tesla and make that transition, the legacy automakers targeted by the current strike, General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis, have each pledged billions in global investment and have begun dramatically restructuring their operations. For workers, the “green jobs” being created can be scarcer and worse paying. Electric vehicle powertrains have many fewer moving parts than conventional gas-powered ones, and so they require 30 percent fewer vehicle assembly hours, according to one estimate. Plants that make EV batteries are generally outside the core, unionized auto supply chain. The United Auto Workers has seen a dramatic drop in membership due to jobs moving outside the US—it lost 45 percent of its members between 2001 and 2022. A future with more electric vehicles could mean fewer union jobs overall. “This strike is about electrification,” says Mark Barrott, an automotive analyst at the Michigan-based consultancy Plante Moran.

The new assembly plants that the legacy automakers need to pull off the transition have been stood up mostly in US states hostile to union organizing, such as Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama. And because many of these plants are joint ventures between automakers and foreign battery companies, they are not subject to previous union contracts.

The UAW did not respond to a request for comment, but UAW president Shawn Fain told CNBC last week that the electric transition can’t leave workers behind. “Workers deserve their share of equity in this economy,” he said.

Tesla’s rise over recent years has also put ever-ratcheting pressure on the legacy automakers to cut costs. Including benefits, Musk’s non-unionized EV company spends $45 per hour on labor, significantly less than the $63 per hour spent in the Big Three, according to industry analysts.

Musk’s willingness to upend auto manufacturing shibboleths has also forced his legacy competitors to seek new efficiencies. Tesla led the way in building large-scale car casts, stamping out very large metal components in one go rather than making a series of small casts that have to be joined together. And it pioneered an automotive chassis building process that can be easily adapted to produce different makes and models.

Tesla’s Silicon Valley roots also helped it become the first automaker to envision the car as a software-first, iPhone-like “platform” that can be modified via over-the-air updates. And the company aims to automate more of its factories, and extract more of the materials it needs to build its batteries itself.

Tesla’s novel production ideas could soon lead the company to put even more pressure on legacy automakers. Musk said earlier this year that Tesla plans to build a new, smaller vehicle that can be made for half the production cost of its most popular (and cheapest) vehicle, the Model 3.

Musk says a lot of things, and many don’t come to pass. (The world is still waiting for the 1 million Tesla robotaxis promised by the end of 2020.) But Tesla has been disruptive enough to leave legacy automakers, including Detroit’s Big Three, “in a quest for capital,” says Marick Masters, who studies labor and workplace issues at Wayne State University's School of Business. Detroit’s automakers have made good money in the past decade—some $250 billion in profits—but also paid a significant chunk of it out in dividends. Pressure from Tesla and the EV transition it catalyzed has left them feeling as if they need every penny they can corral to keep afloat as the industry changes.

“They have little money to concede for union demands,” says Masters. The UAW’s wants include significantly higher wages, especially for workers who have joined the companies since their Great Recession and bankruptcy-era reorganizations, which left some with less pay and reduced pension and health benefits.

So far, the UAW has shown little patience for the idea that the automakers it is pressuring are cash-strapped and under competitive pressure. “Competition is a code word for race to the bottom, and I'm not concerned about Elon Musk building more rocket ships so he can fly into outer space and stuff,” UAW president Fain told CNBC last week when asked about pressure from Tesla. He has argued that production workers should receive the same pay raise received by auto executives over recent years.

When automakers have taken the opposite tack, insisting that they’re well capitalized and making plans to put them ahead of the electric car maker—well, that set up conditions for this strike too. The three American automakers are forecasted to make $32 billion in profits this year, a slight dip from last year’s 10-year high. “The more they toot their own horns about profitability, the more the union looks at them and says, ‘We want our rightful share,’” says Masters.

Tesla did not respond to a request for comment, but Musk has, in typical fashion, chimed in. He posted on X last week to compare working conditions at his companies with the competition, apparently seeking to turn the dispute he helped foment into a recruiting pitch. “Tesla and SpaceX factories have a great vibe. We encourage playing music and having some fun,” he wrote. “We pay more than the UAW btw, but performance expectations are also higher.” A UAW attempt to organize Tesla workers in 2017 and 2018, as the company struggled to produce its Model 3, failed. The National Labor Board ruled that Tesla violated labor laws during the organizing drive; the carmaker has appealed the decision.

Maintenance Tips for Optimal EV Battery Health

The battery is the heart of an electric vehicle (EV), and maintaining its health is crucial for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of your ride. Electric vehicles are reshaping the automotive landscape with their eco-friendly credentials and low operational costs. As an EV owner, one of your top priorities should be battery maintenance. Here's how you can ensure your EV's battery remains in tip-top shape.

Understanding Your EV Battery

Before diving into maintenance tips, it's essential to understand what your EV battery is made of and how it functions. Most EVs use lithium-ion batteries, similar to those in your smartphone but on a much larger scale. These batteries are preferred for their high energy density and long life span. They consist of cells grouped into modules, which together make up the battery pack. A Battery Management System (BMS) monitors and regulates the battery's temperature, voltage, and current.

Regular Use and Driving Habits

One of the simplest ways to maintain your EV's battery is by using your vehicle regularly. Long periods of inactivity can negatively affect battery health. When driving, it's wise to avoid pushing your EV to its limits too often. Frequent high-speed driving and rapid acceleration can strain the battery, reducing its lifespan. Data suggests that EVs driven smoothly and at consistent speeds can see battery life extended by up to 10%.

Optimal Charging Practices

Charging habits significantly impact your EV's battery health. Although it may seem convenient to charge your battery to 100% every time, it's better to keep it between 20% and 80% most of the time. This practice, known as 'shallow charging,' can extend your battery's life. According to a study by Battery University, lithium-ion batteries kept at a 100% charge level at all times can lose up to 20% capacity in a year, while those kept at 80% showed only a 4% loss.

Temperature Management

Extreme temperatures are the enemy of EV batteries. Exposure to high temperatures can lead to faster chemical reactions within the battery, potentially reducing its capacity and life span. Conversely, cold temperatures can decrease the battery's efficiency and range. While you can't control the weather, you can minimize exposure to extreme temperatures by parking in the shade or a garage. Using your EV's pre-conditioning function, if available, can bring the battery to an optimal operating temperature before you set off, without taxing the battery itself.

Software Updates and Professional Servicing

Keeping your EV's software up to date is a vital part of battery maintenance. Automakers frequently release software updates that can improve battery management and efficiency. Additionally, periodic professional check-ups can catch potential issues before they become serious problems. Battery systems are complex and can benefit from a diagnostic eye. Manufacturers often provide detailed guidance on maintenance intervals, and following these can prolong the life of your battery.

Long-Term Storage

If you plan to store your EV for an extended period, it's important to prepare the battery properly. The ideal charge level for long-term storage is around 50%. Additionally, it's best to store your EV in a cool, dry place and to check the charge level every few months, topping it up if necessary.

Recalibration and Balance

Over time, an EV battery can lose its calibration, meaning the car's estimate of the charge level may become less accurate. To recalibrate, you should fully charge and then fully discharge the battery once every few months. This process helps maintain cell balance and ensures that the BMS accurately reads the battery's state of charge.

Your electric vehicle's battery health is paramount to its performance and longevity. By following these maintenance tips and keeping abreast of the latest care techniques, you can help ensure that your EV remains a reliable and efficient mode of transportation for years to come. With more manufacturers investing in battery technology and longevity, we can anticipate even more robust batteries in the future. However, for now, these tips serve as a foundation for responsible EV ownership and battery care.

Laptop Repairs: What Are the Options?

It is a reality that your laptop will fail at some point. When it does, it's essential to know what you, the consumer, can do to help yourself and reduce downtime. If you cannot turn it on, remove the battery and connect it directly to the main outlet via the adaptor. But the best way is to consult a professional at a computer shop. If it starts, it's a faulty battery, which is an easy fix. So many problems I have encountered dealing with the battery. Most of us keep the charger plugged in all the time, which is not a good idea. This will end up destroying the battery. As a rule, let the battery run flat to about 3-5%, then begin the charge cycle again. Once complete, disconnect it, and repeat the process. Your battery will last much longer. If the battery is not the problem, it could be the adaptor. Try running it without the adaptor attached. Replacing the adaptor can fix the problem. These are examples of easy fixes which most consumers can quickly deal with themselves. If both of the above suggestions don't work, it's time to check your receipt to see if your laptop is still under warranty.

Great if it is, not so good if it's not. So what now? A professional would be the best option here because laptops are complicated and complex to repair, and a great deal of skill, knowledge and patience is required to diagnose them properly. There are two types of repairers available. The first is the traditional shopfront computer and laptop repairs shop, or nowadays, the same-day mobile repair services that conveniently come to your house or place of work. They offer professional services just like the shop and have the skills to accurately diagnose on the spot and provide you with an estimate of the cost of repair. Choosing a repairer takes work. I would first speak to a friend or a work colleague and find out if they know someone they have used in the past and were happy with. Qualifications are essential in this industry. A Microsoft certification is always held in high esteem, as is a CompTIA, and even stuff in electronics is handy. These combined will be a good starting point when finding a good repairer. Ask as many questions as necessary. Questions like; Which brands do you service the most? Turnover rate? Qualifications attained? Written quote? Warranty of repair? How long has the repairer been in business? To name a few.

Another option would be to go back to the manufacturer and ask if they have a service centre near you. This type of repair usually is more expensive than a generic repair company, but at least with this option, you know that it will be repaired by the company that made the laptop.

In the end, it always comes down to cost. If a new motherboard or a combination of parts is required, it may not be financially feasible to repair the laptop. In such cases, a new replacement can be cheaper. Do your maths first because if you have to purchase new software licenses, coupled with the cost of a new laptop, the whole exercise becomes a giant money pit.

The outcome should be favourable whether you choose a traditional shop, mobile service, or manufacturer laptop repairs centre. They all want your business, and in this challenging economic climate, the ultimate aim is to keep you coming back.

Switchgear Price List and Estimation Software: A New Era for Electrical Panel Manufacturers

In the dynamic world of electrical panel manufacturing, staying competitive requires not only precision in production but also an in-depth understanding of pricing and cost estimation. As panel manufacturers strive to meet market demands, managing costs effectively becomes a critical challenge. One of the essential elements of ensuring competitive pricing is having access to up-to-date switchgear price lists, alongside an efficient electrical panel estimation software.

Integrating an up-to-date switchgear price list with estimation software, like QuotePlan, can transform the way electrical panel manufacturers approach pricing and quoting. This fusion of data-driven pricing with advanced software solutions empowers manufacturers to create highly accurate, competitive quotes while maintaining profitability. Let’s explore how integrating QuotePlan into this process can lead to better cost control, pricing accuracy, and a distinct competitive edge.

1. Accurate and Real-Time Price Updates

Switchgear components, such as circuit breakers, isolators, and other electrical parts, are essential in every control panel. The prices for these components can fluctuate due to factors such as market demand, supply chain issues, and material costs. When manufacturers manually track these price changes, there’s a high risk of outdated information leading to pricing errors.

By integrating a real-time switchgear price list with QuotePlan, manufacturers can ensure that they are always quoting based on the most accurate and current prices. QuotePlan syncs with live databases and provides automatic updates to the pricing for switchgear and other components. This feature significantly reduces human error and the time spent updating price lists manually, offering a more streamlined, efficient process. With accurate pricing, manufacturers can deliver competitive quotes that reflect the current market conditions, which ultimately strengthens their position in the marketplace.

2. Streamlining the Estimation Process

Creating an accurate quote for a control panel can be a complex and time-consuming process. Manufacturers must account for various factors, including material costs, labor, and additional components like switchgear, which might change in pricing frequently. Without automation, this process often leads to inconsistencies, errors, and longer wait times for quotes, which can delay customer responses and project approvals.

QuotePlan solves this problem by automating the estimation process. The software combines switchgear price lists with the required material costs and labor inputs, calculating the total cost of producing an electrical panel seamlessly. This integration eliminates the need for manual calculations, which not only reduces errors but also speeds up the overall quoting process. Manufacturers can now generate a comprehensive and precise quote in a fraction of the time it would take using traditional methods.

The integration between QuotePlan and the switchgear price list allows manufacturers to adjust the pricing of components easily in real-time, making it easier to update quotes when necessary, based on new pricing or changes in customer requirements.

3. Improved Profit Margins through Accurate Costing

The key to maximizing profits in the electrical panel manufacturing industry lies in having an accurate view of costs and being able to adjust pricing quickly. By integrating the switchgear price list directly into QuotePlan, manufacturers can instantly calculate the costs associated with each individual component, including the switchgear. This allows for a detailed breakdown of the costs associated with every element of the panel.

Additionally, QuotePlan can suggest markups based on historical data, helping manufacturers identify the most profitable pricing model while remaining competitive.

4. Enhancing Competitiveness in the Market

In today’s fast-paced marketplace, offering competitive pricing is essential for securing contracts. However, providing lower quotes doesn’t always lead to better profits, especially if the pricing is inaccurate or based on outdated components. By integrating QuotePlan with the latest switchgear price list, manufacturers gain the advantage of providing precise, up-to-date quotes that reflect both market trends and their specific cost structure.

By accurately accounting for switchgear prices and updating the software with real-time data, manufacturers can offer more competitive bids without sacrificing quality or profitability.

By automatically pulling from an up-to-date switchgear price list and calculating all costs in real time, manufacturers can generate and send accurate quotes to clients quickly. This speed allows manufacturers to respond to tenders and proposals faster, giving them a competitive edge when it comes to securing business.

6. Seamless Integration with Inventory and ERP Systems

Manufacturers often juggle several systems to manage different aspects of their business, from pricing and quotations to inventory and order processing. By integrating QuotePlan with inventory management and ERP systems, manufacturers can ensure that the pricing and stock levels of switchgear components are always up-to-date across all platforms.

This integration eliminates the risk of inventory shortages or overstocking, as manufacturers can immediately see which components, including switchgear, are available in real time. Furthermore, when prices are updated in the switchgear price list, these updates automatically flow through to the estimation software, ensuring consistency across the business. With QuotePlan and its seamless integration, manufacturers can maintain control over their entire workflow, from quoting and pricing to inventory and order fulfillment.

7. Reducing Manual Errors and Enhancing Productivity

Manual quoting often leads to human error, especially when dealing with complex pricing factors and multiple components such as switchgear. Even the smallest mistake can result in inaccurate quotes and impact the profitability of a project. These errors can be costly, as manufacturers may either lose out on business by overpricing or incur losses by underpricing.

QuotePlan removes this issue by automating the quoting process and eliminating the risk of manual errors. With accurate, real-time updates to the switchgear price list and integrated cost calculations, manufacturers can confidently produce error-free quotes. The result is not only higher productivity but also a more efficient workflow, as staff no longer need to spend time manually adjusting quotes or correcting errors.

Conclusion

Integrating QuotePlan, a powerful electrical control panel estimation software, with a real-time switchgear price list is a game-changer for manufacturers in the electrical panel industry. This powerful combination allows for faster, more accurate, and more competitive quoting, enabling manufacturers to streamline their workflows, reduce costs, and improve profitability.

By automating the estimation process, offering precise pricing, and ensuring real-time updates to costs, manufacturers can stay ahead of market trends and respond quickly to client needs. Whether it’s controlling costs, optimizing inventory, or enhancing profitability, QuotePlan and an up-to-date switchgear price list will undoubtedly help manufacturers maintain a competitive edge in an ever-evolving industry.
