HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — A bridge collapsed and a bus was swept away by flooding in Vietnam on Monday, raising the death toll in the Southeast Asian country to at least 64 from a typhoon and subsequent heavy rains that also damaged factories in export-focused northern industrial hubs, state media reported.

Nine people died on Saturday after Typhoon Yagi made landfall in Vietnam before weakening into a tropical depression. The rest died in the floods and landslides that followed on Sunday and Monday, state media VN Express reported.

The water levels of several rivers in northern Vietnam were dangerously high.

A bus carrying 20 people was swept into a flooded stream by a landslide in mountainous Cao Bang province on Monday morning. State media said four bodies were recovered from the bus and one person was rescued alive. The others were still missing.

In Phu Tho province, rescue operations were continuing after a steel bridge over the engorged Red River collapsed Monday morning. Reports said 10 cars and trucks along with two motorbikes fell into the river. Some people were pulled out of the river and taken to a hospital, but at least 10 people were still missing.

Nguyen Minh Hai, who fell into the flooded river, told state Vietnam Television, “I was so scared when I fell down. I felt like I’ve just escaped death. I can’t swim and I thought I would die.”

Pham Truong Son, 50, told VN Express that he was driving on the bridge on his motorcycle when he heard a loud noise. Before he knew what was happening, he was falling into the river. “I felt like I was drowning at the bottom of the river,” Son told the news outlet, adding that he managed to swim and hold on to a drifting banana tree to stay afloat before he was rescued.

Dozens of businesses in Haiphong province haven’t resumed production because of extensive damage to their factories, state newspaper Lao Dong reported. It said the roofs of several factories were blown apart and water seeped inside, damaging finished goods and expensive equipment. Some companies said they still didn’t have electricity on Monday and that it would take at least a month to resume production.

Parts of Haiphong and Quang Ninh provinces were still without power on Monday. The two provinces are industrial hubs, housing many factories that export goods, including EV maker VinFast and Apple suppliers Pegatrong and USI. Authorities are still assessing the damage to factories, but initial estimates showed that nearly 100 enterprises were damaged, resulting in millions of dollars in losses, the newspaper reported.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh visited Haiphong city on Sunday and approved a $4.62 million package to help the port city recover.

Typhoon Yagi was the strongest typhoon to hit Vietnam in decades when it made landfall Saturday with winds up to 149 kph (92 mph). It weakened Sunday, but the country’s meteorological agency warned that continuing downpours could cause floods and landslides.

On Sunday, a landslide killed six people including an infant and injured nine others in Sapa town, a popular trekking base known for its terraced rice fields and mountains. Overall, state media reported 21 deaths and at least 299 people injured from the weekend.

Skies were overcast in the capital, Hanoi, with occasional rain Monday morning as workers cleared uprooted trees, fallen billboards and toppled electricity poles. Heavy rain continued in northwestern Vietnam and forecasters said it could exceed 40 centimeters (15 inches) in places.

BERLIN, April 15 (Reuters) - Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab is laying off more than 10% of its global workforce, an internal memo seen by Reuters on Monday shows, as it grapples with falling sales and an intensifying price war for electric vehicles (EVs).

"About every five years, we need to reorganize and streamline the company for the next phase of growth," CEO Elon Musk commented in a post on X. Two senior leaders, battery development chief Drew Baglino and vice president for public policy Rohan Patel, also announced their departures, drawing posts of thanks from Musk although some investors were concerned.

Musk last announced a round of job cuts in 2022, after telling executives he had a "super bad feeling" about the economy. Still, Tesla headcount has risen from around 100,000 in late 2021 to over 140,000 in late 2023, according to filings with U.S. regulators.

Baglino was a Tesla veteran and one of four members, along with Musk, of the leadership team listed on the company's investor relations website.

Scott Acheychek, CEO of Rex Shares - which manages ETFs with high exposure to Tesla stock - described the headcount reductions as strategic, but Michael Ashley Schulman, chief investment officer at Running Point Capital Advisors, deemed the departures of the senior executives as "the larger negative signal today" that Tesla's growth was in trouble.

Less than a year ago, Tesla's chief financial officer, Zach Kirkhorn, left the company, fueling concerns about succession planning.

Tesla shares closed 5.6% lower at $161.48 on Monday. Shares of EV makers Rivian Automotive (RIVN.O), opens new tab, Lucid Group (LCID.O), opens new tab and VinFast Auto also dropped between 2.4% and 9.4%.

"As we prepare the company for our next phase of growth, it is extremely important to look at every aspect of the company for cost reductions and increasing productivity," Musk said in the memo sent to all staff.

"As part of this effort, we have done a thorough review of the organization and made the difficult decision to reduce our headcount by more than 10% globally," it said.

Reuters saw an email sent to at least three U.S. employees notifying them their dismissal was effective immediately.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

MASS MARKET

The layoffs follow an exclusive Reuters report on April 5 that Tesla had cancelled a long-promised inexpensive car, expected to cost $25,000, that investors have been counting on to drive mass-market growth. Musk had said the car, known as the Model 2, would start production in late 2025.

Shortly after the story published, Musk posted "Reuters is lying" on his social media site X, without detailing any inaccuracies. He has not commented on the car since, leaving investors and analysts to speculate on its future.

Tech publication Electrek, which first reported, opens new tab the latest job cuts, said on Monday that the inexpensive car project had been defunded and that many people working on it had been laid off.

Reuters also reported on April 5 that Tesla would shift its focus to self-driving robotaxis built on the same small-car platform. Musk posted on X that evening: "Tesla Robotaxi unveil on 8/8," with no further details.

Tesla could be years away from releasing a fully autonomous vehicle with regulatory approval, according to experts in self-driving cars and regulation.

Tesla shares have fallen about 33% so far this year, underperforming legacy automakers such as Toyota Motor (7203.T), opens new tab and General Motors (GM.N), opens new tab, whose shares have rallied 45% and about 20% respectively.

Energy major BP (BP.L), opens new tab has also cut more than a tenth of the workforce in its EV charging business after a bet on rapid growth in commercial EV fleets did not pay off, Reuters reported on Monday, underscoring the broader impact of slowing EV demand.

WORKS COUNCIL

A newly elected works council of labour representatives at Tesla's German plant was not informed or consulted ahead of the announcement to staff, said Dirk Schulze, head of the IG Metall union in the region.

"It is the legal obligation of management not only to inform the works council but to consult with it on how jobs can be secured," Schulze said.

Analysts from Gartner and Hargreaves Lansdown said the cuts were a sign of cost pressures as the carmaker invests in new models and artificial intelligence.

Tesla reported this month that its global vehicle deliveries in the first quarter fell for the first time in nearly four years, as price cuts failed to stir demand.

The EV maker has been slow to refresh its aging models as high interest rates have sapped consumer appetite for big-ticket items, while rivals in China, the world's largest auto market, are rolling out cheaper models.

China's BYD (002594.SZ), opens new tab briefly overtook the U.S. company as the world's largest EV maker in the fourth quarter, and new entrant Xiaomi (1810.HK), opens new tab has garnered substantial positive press.

Tesla is gearing up to start sales in India, the world's third-largest auto market, this year, producing cars in Germany for export to India and scouting locations for showrooms and service hubs in major cities.

Tesla recorded a gross profit margin of 17.6% in the fourth quarter, the lowest in more than four years.

How VinFast Showrooms Are Changing the Way We Buy Cars

The world of car buying is rapidly evolving, and one of the most significant innovations in recent years has been the introduction of VinFast showrooms. These showrooms are not just places to explore VinFast cars; they represent a completely new approach to the car-buying experience, blending technology, customer service, and innovation. For Indian buyers, these showrooms are transforming how they engage with the automobile industry, offering an immersive and personalised experience.

The Rise of VinFast Cars in India

VinFast, a name that has quickly gained recognition in the global automotive market, is revolutionising the way cars are manufactured and sold. Known for its innovative electric vehicles (EVs), VinFast is expanding its footprint in India, where consumers are increasingly looking for cleaner, more sustainable transportation options. With VinFast cars, the focus is not only on performance and design but also on eco-friendly driving solutions that align with the global shift towards greener mobility.

As demand for electric vehicles continues to grow in India, VinFast cars offer an attractive alternative to traditional petrol and diesel vehicles. These cars are not just about reducing the carbon footprint; they also promise cutting-edge technology and futuristic designs that are ideal for the modern Indian consumer. The introduction of VinFast showrooms plays a crucial role in bringing these vehicles closer to buyers, allowing them to experience the brand first-hand in a way that traditional car dealerships have never been able to provide.

What Sets VinFast Showrooms Apart?

Unlike conventional car dealerships, VinFast showrooms offer a new kind of experience. When you step inside a VinFast showroom, you are greeted with an atmosphere that prioritises technology, innovation, and convenience. The showroom is designed to provide a holistic experience where customers can learn about the different VinFast cars, explore various models, and even customise their vehicles according to their preferences. Here’s how VinFast showrooms are changing the way we buy cars:

1. Immersive Digital Experience

One of the standout features of a VinFast showroom is the seamless integration of digital tools. Instead of merely looking at static car models, customers can interact with virtual displays and use touchscreens to explore detailed specifications, features, and performance metrics of VinFast cars. This digital experience goes beyond a brochure or pamphlet, allowing potential buyers to visualise the vehicle in 3D and even explore different colour options and configurations.

In addition to virtual tours, some showrooms also feature augmented reality (AR) displays. These allow customers to virtually place a VinFast car in their own environment, helping them visualise how the vehicle would fit into their daily lives. Such technology ensures that customers have all the information they need at their fingertips before making a decision.

2. Personalised Customer Service

Buying a car is a significant investment, and VinFast understands that each customer’s needs are unique. VinFast showrooms offer personalised customer service that makes the entire process smoother and more enjoyable. When you visit a VinFast showroom, you are not just treated as a buyer but as an individual whose preferences matter.

Sales representatives take the time to understand what each customer is looking for in a car, whether it’s the range of an electric vehicle, its design, or specific features like infotainment systems and driver assistance technologies. This approach allows VinFast showrooms to guide buyers through the entire decision-making process with customised recommendations, ensuring that they select the best VinFast car suited to their requirements.

3. Electric Vehicle Education

While electric vehicles are becoming more popular in India, there is still a gap in understanding how EVs work and the benefits they offer. VinFast showrooms address this knowledge gap by providing in-depth information and educational sessions about electric cars. These sessions not only explain the technology behind VinFast cars but also highlight the advantages of switching to electric, such as lower maintenance costs, reduced environmental impact, and the convenience of home charging.

By educating customers about electric mobility, VinFast showrooms are making it easier for Indian consumers to make an informed choice. The move to electric vehicles can be daunting for some, but the knowledgeable staff at VinFast showrooms are always on hand to offer assistance and answer any questions.

4. Hands-On Experience

VinFast showrooms offer an opportunity for potential buyers to experience the cars in person. Unlike traditional dealerships, where you may only get a brief test drive, VinFast showrooms often feature designated areas where customers can get a feel for the interior of the cars, interact with the infotainment system, and try out various features before making a decision. This hands-on experience is essential in helping customers understand the comfort, convenience, and luxury that VinFast cars offer.

Additionally, many showrooms provide extended test drives, allowing customers to drive the cars in real-world conditions. This experience helps them gauge factors like ride comfort, handling, and the driving range of electric models, which can be pivotal when choosing a car.

5. Sustainability Focus

VinFast cars are not just about performance and technology; they are also about sustainability. The brand is committed to promoting green mobility, and its showrooms reflect this ethos. From energy-efficient lighting to eco-friendly materials used in the showroom design, every aspect is tailored to reduce the environmental impact.

By creating showrooms that are as sustainable as the cars they sell, VinFast is setting an example for the automotive industry. For environmentally conscious Indian consumers, this alignment with sustainability is an added bonus that strengthens the appeal of VinFast cars.

The Future of Car Buying in India

As more VinFast showrooms open across India, the car-buying experience is set to become more dynamic and engaging. The combination of cutting-edge technology, personalised service, and a focus on sustainability is reshaping the way Indian consumers approach car ownership. Whether it’s the convenience of learning about VinFast cars through digital tools or the reassurance of knowing that electric vehicles are accessible and practical, these showrooms are making it easier than ever to buy a car.

In conclusion, VinFast showrooms are not just a place to purchase cars; they are a hub for the future of automotive retail in India. By embracing technology, providing education, and offering a more immersive buying experience, VinFast is leading the way in changing the car-buying process for the better. Whether you’re looking for an eco-friendly option or simply want to explore the latest in automotive innovation, a visit to a VinFast showroom could be the first step towards your next car purchase.
