Inside Tesla's Attack on Germany's Auto Establishment
(Bloomberg) -- German rangers stand guard to shoo away visitors from a nondescript stretch of forest near Berlin, where a sign nearby warns of "Lebensgefahr" (mortal danger).The precautions are part of the frantic activity underway to set up Tesla Inc.'s latest assembly plant, Elon Musk's most daring attack on the German auto establishment. Workers wielding metal detectors have started combing through an area covering some 200 football fields to search for errant ammunition lurking beneath the sandy surface of tiny Gruenheide.It's the first stage to prepare a site that could churn out as many as 500,000 cars a year, employ 12,000 people and pose a serious challenge to Volkswagen AG, Daimler AG and BMW AG. Once deemed free of World War II explosives, harvesters and trucks will roll in to clear thousands of trees in the first stage of development. The work needs to be done by the end of February to meet Tesla's aggressive timetable. The project represents a second chance for the quiet town, nestled between two lakes on the edge of a nature reserve southeast of Berlin.Gruenheide lost out on a similar factory two decades ago, when BMW opted for Leipzig. That missed opportunity helped town officials to move quickly when Tesla expressed interest in building its first European factory in Germany, with a plot set aside for industrial use and offering easy access to the Autobahn and rail lines.Read More: Elon Musk's German Factory Started With Love Letter From Berlin"The investment is a unique opportunity," Mayor Arne Christiani said in his office, where a map of the Tesla project hangs on the wall. "It gives young people with a good education or a university degree the possibility to stay in our region—an option that didn't exist in past years."If it clears Germany's red tape, the plant will make batteries, powertrains and vehicles, including the Model Y crossover, the Model 3 sedan and any future cars, according to company filings. The factory hall will include a pressing plant, paint shop and seat manufacturing in a building that will be 744 meters (2,440 feet) long—nearly triple the length of the Titanic. There's space for four such facilities.Musk is taking his fight for the future of transport into the heartland of the combustion engine, where the established players long laughed off Tesla as an upstart on feeble financial footing that couldn't compete with their rich engineering heritage. He casually dropped the news at an awards ceremony in Berlin in November, leaving the top brass of Germany's car industry shell-shocked."Elon Musk is going where his strongest competitors are, right into the heart of the global auto industry," said Juergen Pieper, a Frankfurt-based analyst with Bankhaus Metzler. "No other foreign carmaker has done that in decades given Germany's high wages, powerful unions and high taxes."Building a factory in Europe's largest car market is a major test of Musk's global ambitions. Demand in the region is flat, and buyers are more loyal to local brands. Meanwhile, labor costs in Germany's auto sector are 50% higher than in the U.S. and five times what they are in Poland, just an hour's drive away from Gruenheide.Gruenheide TimelineEnd February: Finish tree logging before migrant birds nest March 5: Deadline for comments from nearby residents March 18: Public meeting to discuss the project Mid-2020: Construction expected to begin July 2021: Targeted start of productionOn the positive side, electric cars require less labor to build, and Germany has a deep reserve of auto experts. The location also offers the soft-power advantage of proximity to the country's leaders.Under pressure for being slow to pick up on the electric-car shift, Chancellor Angela Merkel's government extended a welcoming hand to Musk. Economy Minister Peter Altmaier offered to try to ease regulatory hurdles that may snag construction. "There's a lot at stake" in Tesla's plan, he said soon after the project was announced.Musk's incursion comes at a strategically opportune time. Riding a wave of optimism after successfully starting deliveries of its China-built Model 3 sedans a year after breaking ground on a factory there, Tesla's stock has doubled in the past three months.Meanwhile, German peers are struggling with the costly shift away from combustion engines. Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler announced thousands of job cuts last year, when German car production fell to its lowest level in almost a quarter of a century. For Gruenheide, the planned investment has suddenly transformed the town of 8,700 people into a sought-after location. Local officials receive development proposals on a daily basis: anything from 22-story apartment towers to U.S.-style shopping malls, said Christiani, who hopes the plant will help unlock financing for public transport, schools and medical facilities.In the town hall, five thick binders are available for locals to peruse the project's details, including 463 trucks expected to roll into the plant each day, a rail spur for train deliveries and an on-site fire brigade.Tesla still has to jump through a number of hoops. Residents have the chance to raise objections, and some have bemoaned that they've seen little from the company since its blockbuster announcement. Meanwhile, the local water utility warned it won't be able to supply the site in time and raised concerns over its location in a zone meant to help protect drinking water supplies.And then the company has to carry out initiatives to protect wildlife—including scaring off any wolves in the area, relocating hibernating bats and removing lizards and snakes until construction is finished. The U.S. carmaker also has to replace felled trees.The mayor expects these hurdles to be cleared so that the first made-in-Gruenheide Teslas can roll out in July 2021."The forest is classified as a harvest-ready, inferior pine forest," Christiani said. "It was never supposed to be a rain forest."—With assistance from Hayley Warren (Adds criticism from water utility in 17th paragraph.)To contact the author of this story: Stefan Nicola in Berlin at snicola2@bloomberg.netTo contact the editor responsible for this story: Chris Reiter at creiter2@bloomberg.net, Craig TrudellChad ThomasFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.
Foxconn May Be About to Prove Elon Musk Wrong
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Five years ago, in a routine display of trash talking, Tesla Inc.'s Elon Musk made a now infamous quip about how hard it is to manufacture automobiles."Cars are very complex compared to phones or smartwatches,'' he told German newspaper Handelsblatt. "You can't just go to a supplier like Foxconn and say: Build me a car."He may be proven wrong. Foxconn Technology Group, through its Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. unit, will establish a joint venture with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, the Taiwanese company said in an exchange filing Thursday. While not yet signed, they expect their 50-50 enterprise will "develop and manufacture electric vehicles and engage in IOV (internet of vehicles) business," referencing a growing ecosystem of connected cars that share location, weather, traffic and vehicle information.Hon Hai would be responsible for design, components and supply chain management, Chairman Young Liu told Debby Wu of Bloomberg News. Foxconn might not actually do final assembly, he said.If you've ever visited Foxconn's global headquarters on the outskirts of Taipei, you'd know that the prospect of the company designing cars is disconcerting. It truly is one of the ugliest office buildings in the world. So let's hope Fiat Chrysler takes the driver's seat on that.However, components, supply chain management, and manufacturing are right up Foxconn's alley. The company makes most of Apple Inc.'s iPhones and iPads, as well as a lot of the electronics that go into cars, including Teslas.Tesla's then-head of vehicle engineering, Doug Field, whose resume includes Apple and Ford Motor Co., in February 2018 subtly dissed the Foxconn-Apple relationship. "The model at Foxconn was very different" from Tesla, because the Taiwanese company uses manual labor to achieve economies of scale quickly. The iPad is a product "whose simplicity is orders of magnitude below ours." Field returned to Apple later that year.Let's agree, cars are indeed more complicated than tablets or smartphones. But I'll say that there's no way Elon Musk could churn out half a million handsets per day, consistently, with quality and on time.By contrast, Foxconn, because of the reasons Field outlined, could be well placed to leverage its 40 years of experience in manufacturing, scale and manual processes to get Fiat Chrysler to mass production of electric vehicles quicker than almost anyone in the world. After all, Foxconn's giant workforce and scale mean it's the only company that can churn out 5 million iPhones a week at launch every year for the past decade.With scale comes not just cost advantages but supply-chain leverage, an important element when you're hunting down parts that may be in short stock. Batteries, for example, have been a bottleneck for Tesla deliveries in the past. But when your client list includes Apple, Dell Inc., HP Inc. and a dozen other companies that need batteries by the container, suppliers are likely to put you higher on the priority list. Given that they're the largest cost of an electric vehicle, solving both the supply problem and then using scale to force costs down could give Foxconn and Fiat Chrysler an edge.Having electric vehicles more readily available and delivered on time might even take the gloss off the cult of Tesla, which is driven in part by the difficulty of getting your hands on one. Yet Fiat Chrysler needs to ensure that Foxconn doesn't mess it up. It's known to be domineering in partnerships, with an obsession toward efficiency and cutting costs, rather than value-added branding. Its venture with HMD Global Oyj to revive the Nokia name looked promising until Foxconn executives started pulling rank, overruling those who truly knew how to design and market phones. Many of the talented members of the consortium left and the brand is unlikely to see the revival that many had expected.Sure, Fiat Chrysler is taking a risk by betting on Foxconn. But the U.S.-Italian car company doesn't have much to lose, and knows that it has little time to waste. Chief Executive Officer Mike Manley is hoping to merge with France's PSA Group, and told investors in October that electrification could happen on a grand scale after that.It's also likely to join a self-driving car venture being set up by BMW AG and Daimler AG, Bloomberg reported this month. Such plans necessitate the kind of electric vehicle technologies it doesn't currently have. Foxconn doesn't, either, but between them there's every chance the two companies can develop or acquire what's needed.If Foxconn really wants to make it in electric vehicles, it will need to learn from Fiat Chrysler the importance of good design, marketing savvy, and brand mystique. In other words, a little bit of Elon Musk.Just not too much.To contact the author of this story: Tim Culpan at tculpan1@bloomberg.netTo contact the editor responsible for this story: Patrick McDowell at pmcdowell10@bloomberg.netThis column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of Bloomberg LP and its owners.Tim Culpan is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist covering technology.

IPhone Manufacturer Gets Into Electric Cars Via Fiat Venture
(Bloomberg) -- Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., the main assembler of Apple Inc.'s iPhones, will establish a joint venture with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV to develop and make electric vehicles in China.Hon Hai and its subsidiaries will hold 50% of the venture and Fiat Chrysler the rest, the Taiwanese company said in an exchange filing. While the two companies have yet to sign a formal agreement, they plan to target the Chinese market first and consider exporting cars later. They aim to ink the agreement in the first quarter, according to a person familiar with the matter, and Hon Hai's Hong Kong-listed unit FIT Hon Teng will also be involved. Fiat Chrysler declined to comment beyond the filing.Shares of Hon Hai were up as much as 2.7% in Taipei trading Friday, their biggest intraday rise since mid-November and the main driver behind the benchmark Taiex's gain.Hon Hai, the primary listed vehicle for Terry Gou's Foxconn Technology Group, seeks to diversify from its role as the assembler of a swath of the world's electronics from Macbooks to Sony Playstations. The company aims to employ its expertise in precision manufacturing and supply chain management to grow the automotive business to 10% of revenue in the long run, Chairman Young Liu told Bloomberg News."Hon Hai will be responsible for design, components and supply chain management," he said in a text message, adding that the company will not get into car assembly.Hon Hai and Fiat Chrysler are focusing on the Chinese market because of sheer volume, the executive said. While consumers in the country buy more electric vehicles than anywhere else in the world, sales have slumped since the government pared back subsidies amid a broader market downturn in demand.Hon Hai relies on Apple for about half of sales. Past attempts to diversify its product lines haven't been entirely successful. The company has tried to invest in a number of electric-vehicle ventures but none has borne fruit. Hon Hai, which competes globally with the likes of Flex Ltd. and Jabil Inc., may now be counting on transferring years of consumer electronics production experience to an automotive arena that's increasingly going high-tech."As autos get more and more electrified and more and more digital components replace mechanical ones -- especially with EVs but also just traditional vehicles -- there's scope for a real opportunity here," said Matthew Kanterman, an analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence. "Vertical expertise is key in auto, and so a deal like FCA -- if it proves successful -- can help unlock doors for Hon Hai as that would be a strong reference account."While Hon Hai has limited automotive experience, it does bring enormous supply-chain understanding to the table, said Michael Dunne, chief executive officer of consultant ZoZo Go. Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk told shareholders in 2014 that Foxconn was supplying some components to the electric-vehicle pioneer.From Fiat Chrysler's perspective, the automaker has struggled to crack the Chinese market for years, and tightening fuel-economy standards and electric-vehicle mandates make the task even more challenging. Its market share in the world's largest car market was less than 1% in 2018, well behind Ford Motor Co.'s 2.3% and General Motors Co.'s 13.8%.Chief Executive Officer Mike Manley is trying to reboot Fiat Chrysler's money-losing Chinese operations. He restructured the automaker's decade-old joint venture with Guangzhou Automobile Group in April, calling the shakeup an attempt to "more rapidly respond to changes in the Chinese market."Read more: Mega Merger Wouldn't Fix PSA-Fiat Chrysler's China Woes(Updates with share price move and analyst comment)\--With assistance from Daniele Lepido.To contact the reporters on this story: Debby Wu in Taipei at dwu278@bloomberg.net;Gabrielle Coppola in New York at gcoppola@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Craig Trudell at ctrudell1@bloomberg.net, ;Edwin Chan at echan273@bloomberg.net, Cécile Daurat, Vlad SavovFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.
Jack Dorsey Asks Elon Musk How to Fix Twitter
(Bloomberg) -- Elon Musk's suggestion for how to fix Twitter? Identify the bots.Musk, the SpaceX and Tesla Inc. chief executive officer, was asked Thursday by Twitter Inc. CEO Jack Dorsey how he would fix the social network, where Musk has almost 31 million followers."Give us some direct feedback," said Dorsey, who spoke to Musk via a video call from a company meeting in Houston. Musk was projected onto a giant screen as thousands of Twitter employees watched the two executives chat. "If you were running Twitter," Dorsey continued, "what would you do?""I think it would be helpful to differentiate" between real and fake users, Musk replied, according to a video posted to Twitter by an employee. "Is this a real person or is this a bot net or a sort of troll army or something like that?""Basically, how do you tell if the feedback is real or someone trying to manipulate the system, or probably real, or probably trying to manipulate the system," Musk continued. "What do people actually want, what are people actually upset about versus manipulation of the system by various interest groups."It's possible at least one of the groups Musk had in mind was "TSLAQ," a loose collective of critics, skeptics and short sellers who often tweet using the hashtag combining Tesla's ticker symbol with the -Q that is added when listed companies go bankrupt.Musk faces relentless criticism from the group on Twitter. The billionaire is one of the site's most popular users and one of its most controversial. He called a British caver a "pedo guy" in 2018 and was later sued for defamation. Later that same year, he tweeted that he was thinking of taking Tesla private, prompting a temporary halt on trading and a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit.Musk, one of many high-profile Twitter users to speak at the company event this week, also predicted that humans would send a tweet from Mars sometime in the next five to nine years, according to videos posted by employees. After Dorsey and Musk finished chatting, model and cookbook author Chrissy Teigen, another popular user, made an appearance on stage.\--With assistance from Dana Hull.To contact the reporter on this story: Kurt Wagner in San Francisco at kwagner71@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Jillian Ward at jward56@bloomberg.net, Andrew PollackFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.

Wall Street Analysts Still Shy Away From Tesla Bandwagon

Sell Tesla Shares, Morgan Stanley Says After Stock Price Doubles
(Bloomberg) -- For the first time in more than seven years, Morgan Stanley is recommending selling Tesla Inc. shares.Optimism around the electric-car maker's core business growth in China is now priced into the stock, analysts led by Adam Jonas wrote in a note. They also slashed their valuation of the firm's mobility unit, citing a legal and regulatory environment that's unsupportive of a robo-taxi network roll-out.Tesla's stock price has more than doubled since the beginning of October, helped by a surprise third-quarter profit, strong deliveries and quick construction of a factory in China. Morgan Stanley's downgrade comes at a time when the rally has left analysts' consensus price target in the dust."Near-term momentum and sentiment around the stock is admittedly very strong, but we ultimately question the sustainability of the momentum," Morgan Stanley said. While the analysts raised their price target to $360 from $250, that still implies about a 30% downside from Wednesday's close.Tesla fell 2.3% in pre-market trading Thursday, setting the stock up for a second straight day of losses. Shares have gained 24% this year through Wednesday.Morgan Stanley last had an underweight rating on Tesla in September 2012, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The stock has risen about 1,600% since then.The bank is far from being the only Tesla bear -- there are 15 others with a sell rating on the stock among those surveyed by Bloomberg, with 10 assigning buy ratings and 10 hold. The company overtook Apple Inc. as the most-shorted U.S. stock on Wednesday.While Tesla deserves to be among the world's most valuable auto companies, given its electric vehicle leadership, "investors will be presented with more attractive opportunities to own the stock in the future," Morgan Stanley added.\--With assistance from Lisa Pham.To contact the reporter on this story: Joe Easton in London at jeaston7@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Beth Mellor at bmellor@bloomberg.net, Namitha JagadeeshFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.

Tesla Is Once Again the Most Shorted American Stock
(Bloomberg) -- Follow Bloomberg on Telegram for all the investment news and analysis you need.Tesla Inc. bears won't let anyone steal the title for the most-shorted stock. Not even Apple Inc.A parabolic spike in shares of the electric carmaker hasn't stopped short sellers from betting the stock will go down. They drove the total dollar amount of shares borrowed to sell the stock short to $14.5 billion on Wednesday, data by financial analytics firm S3 Partners showed. That's above the $14.3 billion invested in a bet Apple will go down.The iPhone maker overtook Tesla as the most-shorted U.S. stock on Sept. 20 and had held that position until Wednesday. The dollar amount of short interest in Apple, however, is of little surprise given the size of the tech giant's $1.4 trillion market capitalization.Tesla, whose market cap is 14 times smaller than Apple's, has long been a site of a tug-of-war between its bulls and bears, which often came at a price. This year through Tuesday, Tesla short-sellers have racked up $2.8 billion in net-of-financing mark-to-market losses, S3 Partners' data show. This compares with losses of $2.89 billion for all of 2019.Tesla has been on a roll since late October amid a host of positive news around its deliveries and China plant.

Tesla May Be Only Big Winner in U.S. Batteries Bound for China
(Bloomberg) -- Terms of Trade is a daily newsletter that untangles a world embroiled in trade wars. Sign up here. Tesla Inc. may be the single largest beneficiary of a provision tucked into the trade deal between the U.S. and China.As part of the accord signed Wednesday, China will import more energy storage systems and parts from the U.S. this year and next. Tesla's Gigafactory in Nevada is by far the largest battery plant in the U.S., representing 42% of nationwide production, according to data from BloombergNEF. No other manufacturer in America comes close to its capacity.While most of Tesla's batteries go into electric cars, the company has been expanding its business of building massive battery packs that can store electricity for large-scale power grids. In fact, the Palo Alto, California-based company is negotiating a contract to supply cobalt -- a key component in lithium-ion batteries -- to its newly opened Shanghai Gigafactory, according to people familiar with the matter.China is, by far, the world's biggest battery producer, with factories capable of cranking out 275,560 megawatt-hours worth of cells. The U.S. trails as a distant second, at 33,116 megawatt-hours, according to BloombergNEF data.To contact the reporter on this story: David R.

Tesla in Talks to Buy Glencore Cobalt for Shanghai Car Plant
(Bloomberg) -- Glencore Plc is negotiating a long-term contract to ship cobalt to Tesla Inc.'s new electric-vehicle factory in Shanghai, according to people familiar with the matter.A deal would help Tesla avoid a supply squeeze on the key battery metal as it pushes into the world's largest car market, and mark a win for Glencore after a tough spell for its cobalt business.Executives from both companies hammered out terms of the deal before an official ceremony to mark the first sales from the Shanghai plant earlier this month, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified discussing commercial negotiations. They declined to give details about the size and value of the supply deal.A Glencore spokesman declined to comment, while a representative for Tesla didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.The contract will help Tesla shore up its cobalt supply as it ramps up output at the so-called Gigafactory, which was built in just 11 months with significant support from the Chinese government. The opening of the plant has helped propel Tesla's shares to record highs, as investors turn bullish on Elon Musk's ambitions of transforming the company into a global mass-market automaker.While there is enough cobalt supply for now, demand is expected to surge in the coming years as Tesla expands in China and Europe and Volkswagen AG to BMW AG roll out fleets of electric vehicles. Warnings about long-term shortages caused cobalt prices to spike in 2017 and 2018, prompting Musk to work on reducing Tesla's reliance on the metal. Even so, the deal signals that the metal will remain key to the company's expansion over the next few years.Despite a torrid year for the car industry, the burgeoning electric-vehicle market offers big opportunities for manufacturers and the companies that supply them. The biggest miners are looking to grow production of metals such as copper and nickel that are needed for the electrification of cities and cars.Glencore, the world's largest cobalt miner, is in a prime position to benefit from a boom in electric-vehicle sales. But so far, it's struggled to make that happen. The company booked losses last year related to cobalt after prices collapsed in mid-2018 from too much supply.Read more: Cobalt's Star Fades for Glencore Traders as Customers RenegeAfter customers reneged on contracts in response to the slump, Glencore spent last year locking in new long-term deals with customers throughout the electric-vehicle supply chain. BMW has signed up to buy cobalt from its mines in Australia, while battery materials suppliers GEM Co. and Umicore SA have also inked contracts.Direct deals with miners are rare in the automotive industry, and the agreements between Glencore, Tesla and BMW are a sign carmakers are concerned about securing sufficient cobalt from ethical sources. Nearly three-quarters of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and as much of 20% of the country's output is produced at informal makeshift mines where fatalities and human-rights abuses are commonplace.A lack of liquidity in exchange-traded cobalt contracts also means buyers have little opportunity to hedge against wild price swings. As a result, the industry is moving toward long-term strategic tie-ups to allow battery-chemical makers and cell manufacturers to pass along price risks as cobalt moves through their supply chain, according to George Heppel, an analyst at CRU Group."You have to be able to pass on those costs," Heppel said by phone. "It would be impossible for a battery manufacturer to sign a long-term deal with a customer without some clause to vary their prices based on raw material costs."(Updates with background on cobalt from sixth paragraph.)\--With assistance from Christoph Rauwald.To contact the reporters on this story: Mark Burton in London at mburton51@bloomberg.net;Thomas Biesheuvel in London at tbiesheuvel@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Lynn Thomasson at lthomasson@bloomberg.net, Nicholas Larkin, Dylan GriffithsFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.
Tesla Analyst Balks at Valuation Despite Regret Over Downgrade
(Bloomberg) -- An analyst who picked an inopportune time to downgrade Tesla Inc. is expressing regret, giving Elon Musk credit, and yet still doubting the electric-car maker deserves such a rich valuation."I wish I hadn't done it," Joe Osha, an analyst at JMP Securities, said of his decision to cut Tesla to the equivalent of a hold from a buy on Oct. 3.The move looked shrewd at first -- the shares slumped 4.2% that day, after Tesla reported quarterly deliveries that fell short of a number the chief executive officer hyped the week before. But later in October, the billionaire shocked Wall Street with a profit, plus progress toward building a plant in China and bringing out his next electric vehicle, the Model Y. Tesla's stock has more than doubled, closing Tuesday at a record $537.92."As an analyst, whenever you end up in this not-very-good situation where you've missed a big move in a stock, there's always a temptation to just give in," Osha told Bloomberg Television. But he's reluctant to capitulate now. "I don't think that I'm doing my job if I tell people to buy a stock at 20 times Ebitda," he said.As of Tuesday's close, Tesla's enterprise value is 27.2 times greater than the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization that analysts expect the company to average in the next two years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. General Motors Co. trades at a multiple of 2.6, and Ford Motor Co.'s is 2.3.By this measure, Tesla's valuation is rich even relative to technology stocks: Amazon.com Inc. trades at an 18.5 multiple, and Apple Inc.'s is 15.4.Tesla traded down as much as 2% at the open of regular trading Wednesday in New York. The stock briefly pared declines during the pre-market session after Bloomberg News reported Glencore Plc, the world's largest cobalt miner, is negotiating a long-term contract to ship the metal to the Model 3 maker's new factory in Shanghai, citing people familiar with the matter.Lone EV PlayWhile Osha cautioned against buying Tesla now, he gave Musk props for the company's dominance of the burgeoning market for battery-powered cars, calling the stock "really the only way to play electric vehicles right now."He left CES -- the event formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show -- last week unimpressed with the offerings that established automakers put on display."It's a little shocking, here at the beginning of 2020, that the major auto OEMs in the U.S. and Europe still don't have a product to compete with Tesla," he said, referring to original equipment manufacturers. "Tesla's competitive positioning is awesome."(Updates shares in seventh paragraph)To contact the reporters on this story: Craig Trudell in New York at ctrudell1@bloomberg.net;Taylor Riggs in New York at triggs2@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Craig Trudell at ctrudell1@bloomberg.net, Boris Korby, Chester DawsonFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.

Here's a Sneak Peek Into Tesla's (TSLA) Offerings for 2020
Tesla's (TSLA) smashing 2020 vehicle lineup includes Model Y, Semi Truck, Roadster and Model S Plaid.


Hercules & Omphale Italian School, 18th century oil painting on canvas, framed painting: 18 x 14 inches framed: 20.5 x 17 inches provenance: private collection, Paris Very fine quality early 18th century Italian Old Master oil painting on canvas. The work is beautifully painted and clearly by a Master hand of the period. The subject depicts Hercules and Omphale taken from Roman mythology. In one of many Greek variations on the theme of penalty for "inadvertent" murder, for his murder of Iphitus, the great hero Heracles, whom the Romans identified as Hercules, was, by the command of the Delphic Oracle Xenoclea, remanded as a slave to Omphale for the period of a year, the compensation to be paid to Eurytus, who refused it. The theme, inherently a comic inversion of sexual roles, is not fully illustrated in any surviving text from Classical Greece. Plutarch, in his vita of Pericles, 24, mentions lost comedies of Kratinos and Eupolis, which alluded to the contemporary capacity of Aspasia in the household of Pericles, and to Sophocles in The Trachiniae it was shameful for Heracles to serve an Oriental woman in this fashion, but there are many late Hellenistic and Roman references in texts and art to Heracles being forced to do women's work and even wear women's clothing and hold a basket of wool while Omphale and her maidens did their spinning. Omphale even wore the skin of the Nemean Lion and carried Heracles' olive-wood club. No full early account survives to supplement the later vase-paintings. But it was also during his stay in Lydia that Heracles captured the city of the Itones and enslaved them, killed Syleus who forced passersby to hoe his vineyard, and captured the Cercopes. He buried the body of Icarus and took part in the Calydonian Boar Hunt and the Argonautica. After some time, Omphale freed Heracles and took him as her husband. They travelled to the grove of Dionysus and planned to celebrate the rites of Bacchus at dawn. Hercules slept alone in a bed covered with the clothes of Omphale. The Greek god Pan hoped to have his way with Omphale and crept naked into the bed of Hercules who threw Pan to the floor and laughed. Condition report: The painting is in good and very presentable condition. There are old repairs evident near Omphale with what almost resembles a scar to the canvas. The canvas has a very old reline to it.

After the end of the zero covid policy in China, the epidemic seems to be out of control
Several European countries, including France, have reintroduced covid tests at borders as the number of cases in the country rises. Although the statistics of the number of cases and deaths provided by the Chinese government do not seem convincing, the situation remains very dark.
The number of people infected with Covid is increasing in China. Three weeks after abandoning the zero-Covid policy, the situation appears to be spiraling out of control, although no one can say for sure how much Chinese statistics have lost all credibility.
For example, on Friday, December 24, the Ministry of Health announced 5,000 new Covid cases and one death across the country. In addition, at the same time local authorities published their information. For example, Qingdao, a city of 10 million people, reported 500,000 new cases a day. Zhejiang province is pushing the figure of one million new cases per day for its population of 60 million. An independent Hong Kong news site, based on leaked government data, puts the figure at 250 million Chinese, or 18% of the population, currently infected. Sinologist Marie Holzman believes that "the whole of China is in panic" today.
How many deaths are there?
It is also impossible to estimate the number of dead. Official statistics show a total of around 5,000 deaths since the start of the pandemic three years ago, not including the current outbreak. Although the entire international press has been publishing news about the sinking of crematoria in recent days. We have seen images of endless queues in front of these funeral places. Agence France Presse estimates that China's current death toll is three or four times higher than normal, based on surveys of these crematoria.
The British epidemiology company "Air Infinity" has increased the daily death toll in China to 11,000. Therefore, we are light years away from official statistics. Statistics that the Chinese have refused to publish since December 25.
The end of the zero covid policy as an accelerator?
So the question that may arise is: are these disastrous results due to the abandonment of the zero covid policy? These results coincide with the rejection of this policy. We cannot conclude that at the beginning of the explosion there is only an end to harsh imprisonment.
What happened is that in mid-November, there was an increase in the number of infections, especially in Guangzhou and Beijing. Logically, the authorities had to impose strict arrests, that is, they had to lock tens of millions of people in their homes and put the entire population to trials almost every day. And force positive cases or contact cases to imprison them in horrible detention centers. In short, the Chinese authorities, faced with this epidemic in November, should have done what they have been doing for 3 years. Moreover, suddenly it became impossible because the population no longer accepted it.
Something we didn't think was possible happened in China. A movement of anger that scared the communist authorities. It all started with a fire. On November 24, a fire broke out in a residential building in the city of Urumqi, Xinjiang province, where there is a majority of Muslims. Residents could not leave their homes because their doors were hung from the outside when there was a case of covid in the family. The results were 10 people were burned alive and the information caused the Chinese to revolt.
Later, demonstrations began across the country. The first of this importance since the Tiananmen student movement 34 years ago. For the first time, we heard slogans hostile to the all-powerful Xi Jinping and his power to withdraw after a few days. December 7 was the end of the zero Covid policy. It was a relief for the Chinese, who couldn't take it any longer, but it was also, we now understand, a leap into the unknown.

Let me start off by saying that I have never set foot in Dubai, but since it's Winter in Cape Town at the moment, I've been dreaming of rad things I wish I could be doing.
One of my recent day dreams about this magnificent city I've heard so much about, was all the adrenaline pumping and extreme sport type vibes I'd get up to if I was to stumble across super cheap flights to Dubai.
So you know what they say about the power of attraction, here is my way of putting it out to the universe that I REALLY want to tick off these bucket list items.
This is seriously the FIRST thing I'd do in Dubai!! I've been Sky Diving in Cape Town, but ever since I watched Jay Alvarez doing crazy skydiving vibes above Dubai, I've always wanted to do it. Skip to 1:08 in this video and you'll see exactly what I mean.
I've been lucky enough to Zip Line in a few places around South Africa between mountains and over waterfalls. What I 've never done though, is ride on the World's Longest Zipline which can be found in Dubai. This looks like such a rush and I'd probably do it more than once to get a proper fix.
Check this video below and you'll see what I mean! At least there is a pool below you JUST in case something happens to the line haha.
Just a couple of weeks ago I made saw one of these crazy dune buggy's in Cape Town and I almost IMMEDIATELY googled if they had them in Dubai, because we all know those guys go bigger and better at everything. This is the video I found that got me really excited! This looks like fun yo!!
Now let me be clear, I have NEVER base jumped in my life or done a free skydive jump, but those are dreams I'll eventually make a reality. Until then, I'll carry on watching this video which I've watched more times than I can count on my hands and toes.

Q: How to "disable" CSS grid responsively? On mobile screens, I'd like to have two buttons laid out in a 3-column grid like that:

.grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
  grid-column-gap: 30px;
}

.long-grid-item {
  grid-column: 1/3;
}

.short-grid-item {
  grid-column: 3/4;
}

button {
  width: 100%;
}

    <button>Long</button>

    <button>Short</button>

However, on desktop screens, I'd like to "disable" the grid and have the buttons have a fixed width: 200px for the long button and 100px for the short one.
Is it possible to keep this HTML structure and just "disable" the grid functionality using media queries?

A: Set fix width of 100px for the column for devices width above 992px (or your desire width) with media query. I hope I understand your problem.

.grid {
  display: grid;

Royce Campbell , indianai dzsesszgitáros. Húsz éven át Henry Mancini zenekarának egyik tagja volt.

Pályafutása

Ismert, sikeres dzsesszzenész. Royce Campbell zenéjében különböző stílusok, hatások és a technikai lehetőségek széles tárháza, valamint saját hangja van jelen. Ötéves korában édesanyja hozzáment egy haditengerészhez, így Campbell az Egyesült Államok és a világ több városában nőtt fel. A rock and roll iránti szeretet jelentette első kapcsolatát a gitárral, kilenc éves korában felfedezte magának Chuck Berryt. Nemzedékének sok gitárosához hasonlóan rá is Jimi Hendrix és Eric Clapton volt döntő hatással.

Mire az 1970-es évek elején Spanyolországban fejezte be a gimnáziumot. Nagybátyja, a zongoraművész Carroll DeCamp bemutatta Stan Kentonnak és Les Elgartnak. Meghívták Indianapolisba tanulni.

21 éves korában Marvin Gaye-el turnézott, majd húsz évet a Henry Mancini zenekar tagjaként töltött. Ezt a munkát Mancini 1994-es haláláig folytatta.

Több mint 40 éven át több tucat kiadónál rögzítették az Egyesült Államokban és a nemzetközi piacon lemezeit. Nem egy lemeze slágerlistás volt, köztük négy az első tízben.

Campbell szerepelt a String Jazz és a Just Jazz Guitar lemezborítóin. A Jazz Times, a Down Beat, a Guitar Player Magazine, a 21st Century Guitar, a japán Swing Journal és a német Akustik Gitarre lapjain is szerepelt. Campbell a dzsessz számos nagy nevével készített felvételeket, így például Pat Martinoval, Herb Ellissel, Tal Farlow-val, Jimmy Raney-ve, Cal Collins-szal, John Abercrombie-val, Larry Coryellel, Mundell Lowe-val, John Pisanoval, Charlie Byrddel, Bucky Pizzarellivel. Nyolcszor alkalommal turnézott Európában, Japánban tízszer lépett fel szólistaként. Az idők folyamán fellépett Mel Torme, James Moody, Nancy Wilson, Sarah Vaughn, Dave Brubeck, Joe Williams, Ken Poplowski, Gerry Mulligan, Rosemary Clooney és mások mellett is.

Triója a Royce Campbell Trio.

15 rescued dogs find their furever homes
by Kayla Butler
Posted Feb 9, 2019 2:29 pm CDT
Last Updated Feb 9, 2019 at 5:36 pm CDT
WINNIPEG (CITYNEWS) – About a month after several dogs were rescued in Winnipeg from devastating conditions, the five adult dogs and 10 puppies are heading to their furever homes.
Fourteen are already settled into their new homes and the last one is very close to being officially adopted.
The group of dogs was taken from the home in early January and the city described the residence as "disgusting and awful."
"There was feces everywhere. It smelled like there were high levels of ammonia in the building. The police officers and the animal services officers that were in attendance actually had to wear masks when they went in," explained Leland Gordon, Chief Operating Officer of Winnipeg's Animal Services Department.
WATCH: 15 dogs "at risk of dying…": police
"Humans could only live in there for a few minutes so it was so sad to see dogs living in horrific conditions where not only the place was absolutely disgusting but there was no food or water."
When the rental property was cleaned out after the animals were seized, three puppies were found dead in a container in the garage.
All the animals that were saved needed desperate attention and care after being cooped up in such conditions.
"When they came in they all had varying medical issues. Some had ear infections, some had skin conditions, some had nails that were quite long. They were all dirty," he said.
"We gave them the VIP treatment, got them groomed and then worked on their socialization."
And now, weeks later, the pups are getting the homes and families they should've had all along.
"Our friends at the Winnipeg Humane Society took the 10 puppies and [the city] took the five adults. All the puppies were adopted quite quickly–puppies are usually easily adopted in the shelters versus the adult dogs."

Gordon added four of the five adults were adopted promptly as well, and things are looking promising for the last dog.
"One of the dogs is out on something called a dog date–she's been out on the dog date for the week and they're likely going to be adopting her."
All of the dogs are interacting really well with their new families and have really changed from the skittish and shy animals they were when they were rescued.
If it doesn't feel right, report it: city
Gordon is now urging anyone who thinks an animal is at risk to report the situation to Manitoba's animal care line.
"People need to watch out for animals… If something doesn't seem right go ahead and report it and let our investigators investigate," said Gordon.
"It would've been lovely if someone had reported it a while ago and that it didn't get it to the scenario that it got to with animals living in such horrid conditions."
Gordon also said, reporting potential animal cruelty cases isn't only for the good of the animal. Sometimes it helps humans, too.
"We run into people who are having issues with their animals, but they're also having problems themselves. Not only do we care about animals but we also care about people," said Gordon.
"If people anywhere in Manitoba have friends, family, coworkers who may be going through some bad part of their life or may have suspected mental health issues, or if you just feel like somebody is off, a great resource is Manitoba 211."
The service lists the resources available to you to help both people and their animals in a variety of ways to prevent animal cruelty cases or neglect before they happen.
Considering getting a pet? There's a lot to think about
"We don't want another scenario like this ever happening again," said Gordon, who is hoping this extreme case will prompt people considering adding a furry friend to their families to really think about all the things that come along with a dog or cat.
"Make sure that you don't let yourself get overwhelmed. Pets require proper food, water, and shelter and clean homes, access to the outdoors. They need proper veterinary care every year–that can cost a lot of money… if you're struggling financially day to day and you're having problems making it, it's probably not a good idea to add a pet until you're ready," he said.
"Are you prepared to take it to a vet every year? Provide it with high-quality food and good shelter and exercise?"
If not, Gordon offers up the idea of volunteering at a rescue centre or shelter.
You can also foster shelter dogs or do the doggy date program and take dogs waiting to be adopted out on adventures for an afternoon, a weekend, or even a week.

Corvus I ADORE cold-war novels and I live for love stories - The Museum of Broken Promises is a perfect combination of both. It's a gem of a book... beautiful, elegant.' Marian Keyes, author of The Break Paris, today. The Museum of Broken Promises is a place of wonder and sadness, hope and loss. Every object in the museum has been donated - a cake tin, a wedding veil, a baby's shoe. And each represent a moment of grief or terrible betrayal. The museum is a place where people come to speak to the ghosts of the past and, sometimes, to lay them to rest. Laure, the owner and curator, has also hidden artefacts from her own painful youth amongst the objects on display. Prague, 1985. Recovering from the sudden death of her father, Laure flees to Prague. But life behind the Iron Curtain is a complex thing: drab and grey yet charged with danger. Laure cannot begin to comprehend the dark, political currents that run beneath the surface of this communist city. Until, that is, she meets a young dissident musician. Her love for him will have terrible and unforeseen consequences. It is only years later, having created the museum, that Laure can finally face up to her past and celebrate the passionate love which has directed her life.

Have you been bitten by Daric, now misquoting. You claim a lot, yet produce nothing. Go on to Neutrinos - Daric says they dont exist!
Tell me are there any charge less particles.
Maybe you can do the maths associated with QM - but somehow i doubt it.
- what are you and Warlock doing! Apart from wrecking the board with video after video of nonsense.
The Sun performs nuclear fusion via the proton–proton chain reaction, which converts four protons into alpha particles, neutrinos, positrons, and energy. This energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation, as gamma rays, as well as in the form of the kinetic energy of both the charged particles and the neutrinos.

Modern society relies on electric currents. We can generate them, guide them from one place to another (including very remote places), and make them work for us. The use of electricity has provided the greatest technological advances in humankind. But electric currents also occur in nature by themselves and "run the show" in outer space.
Electric Currents in Geospace and Beyond, a new book just published by the American Geophysical Union, explores our most up-to-date understanding of electric currents in the solar system. Here the editors answer some questions about past and recent advances in this field.
How and when were electric currents in space discovered?
Already in 1779, the American scientist, inventor and politician, Benjamin Franklin, spoke of a "quantity of electricity" in the atmosphere causing the aurora borealis.
Much later, in 1908, the Norwegian pioneer of space physics, Kristian Birkeland, laid out a first theory of electric currents reaching out to space.
All this happened long before the advent of the space age, when the first in situ evidence for the existence of space currents was obtained using satellites in the 1960s.
It is now understood that outer space is fundamentally electrical in nature.
Sure - I do. This is fun.
If you mean telling noobs who think that noise is something it isnt - i'm guilty. I thought this forum was for grown ups. It is true i no longer make what 'a noob' would call noise. Though I am working on a project which could well fit the definition of some.
Now lets come to your input. Spinning the conventional "alternative" theories on everything from Astral projection to pryramid power, and the rest of the conspiracy theory stuff- sure - entertaining. Do you make any noise releases? Or even a youtube video? Nope!
Can you relate this to the Thunderbolts project - supported by Daric which states non of this above is true, that the sun's heat is an electromagnetic phenomena. That Einstein was wrong. And that mainstream science is one vast conspiracy.
That other such conspiracies include Global Warming, this they say is false, The Big Bang, this they say is false, and evolution by natural selection, i think they also claim that false.
In a contest for un-conventional anti-establishment thinking they certainly are way ahead of the (your?) curve.
Do you make any noise releases?
So where or are they a secret? CD? CDr... tape...Vinyl?


Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease affect millions of people in the United States every year. New research could soon improve early detection of these illnesses, as scientists may have discovered a way to predict neurological disorders - at least in painters.
New research suggests paint strokes may predict onset of neurodegenerative disease.
Dementia is a common neurological disorder among elderly people in the U.S., with 1 in 3 seniors reportedly dying with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia.
Parkinson's disease is also common. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), approximately 60,000 older people in the U.S. are diagnosed with Parkinson's each year, although many more may be in the early stages of the disease.
Neurological disorders falling under the umbrella term "dementia" occur when nerve cells die or can no longer function properly, often resulting in memory loss and impaired reasoning. Patients currently receive a dementia diagnosis when their cognitive impairment becomes so severe that it interferes with their daily activities.
New research published in the journal Neuropsychology may have found a way to identify neurodegenerative disease in patients before they have been formally diagnosed.
Researchers led by psychologist Dr. Alex Forsythe - from the School of Psychology of the University of Liverpool, United Kingdom - analyzed 2,092 paintings by seven famous painters. The team collaborated with Dr. Tamsin Williams, of Tees, Esk, and Wear Valleys NHS Trust, and Dr. Ronan G. Reilly, from Maynooth University in Ireland.
Of the seven artists examined, two (Salvador Dali and Norval Morrisseau) had experienced Parkinson's disease, while another two (James Brooks and Willem De Kooning) had Alzheimer's disease.
Three of the artists - Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, and Claude Monet - had undergone a normal aging process, with no recorded neurodegenerative diseases.
The artists' paint strokes were analyzed by applying non-traditional mathematics to the patterns known as "fractals."
Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that repeat themselves with mathematical precision at different scales. Fractals can be natural or created. Natural fractals include branching patterns - which can be found in trees, rivers, blood vessels, lightning bolts, or mountains - and spiral patterns - such as seashells, galaxies, or variant forms of cauliflower.
Fractal analysis has previously been used to establish the authenticity of major works of art. A prior analysis of 23 paintings by Jackson Pollock has revealed a 100 percent success rate in terms of the artworks' fractal content, as opposed to a 100 percent failure rate in paintings of unknown origin.
This shows that artists use unique fractal behaviors when they paint, and that computers can accurately detect the patterns characteristic of famous painters.
In the present study by Dr. Forsythe and her team, even though researchers examined different painters working within different genres, the fractal patterns in their paint strokes remained comparable.
Researchers examined the changes in the artists' unique fractals over time, in an attempt to see if they were due to normal aging or cognitive deterioration typical of neurodegenerative disease.
"Art has long been embraced by psychologists as an effective method of improving the quality of life for those persons living with cognitive disorders. We have built on this tradition by unpicking artists' 'handwriting' through the analysis of their individual connection with the brush and paint."
The analysis revealed evident patterns of change in the fractal dimensions of the different painters. These changes showed a clear demarcation between artists who had experienced neurological deterioration and those who aged normally.
Dr. Forsythe and team hope that their study will open up new avenues for future research into neurodegenerative disease.
"This process offers the potential for the detection of emerging neurological problems. We hope that our innovation may open up new research directions that will help to diagnose neurological disease in the early stages," says the lead study author.
