The Tesla Profit Streak has Ended- and Woes are Mounting
The automaker has posted a huge $702 million loss in the first quarter of 2019. Musk telegraphed this in February and this came after he claimed that the company would earn more money than ever in that current year. The loss is smaller than the one that was made the year before. This snapped a very modest streak of having two profitable years in a row. The company has generated net income in the first quarter a year earlier and this has most certainly puzzled a lot of people. The company have also released a statement stating that they have released an open letter to their investors. They have said that they expect to lose money in the second quarter, but they do intend to return back to profit in the third quarter. This has easily been one of the worst quarters on record because the company are trying so hard to try and slash costs. They are doing this by closing down as many stores as they can, and they are also moving to try and embrace online sales too. Those who work in automotive jobs or even in automotive recruitment will know this more than anyone.
Of course, it would appear that Tesla are no longer benefiting from the tax credit and they are also suffering from the initial customer rush too. This is especially the case when you look at the Model 3. There are tons of luxurious German brands who are rushing to try and enter the market, and all of this is going to have a detrimental impact on the marketplace. The results are disappointing to say the least and they come just two days after Musk chose to invite investors to experience the full self-driving vehicle.
Vulog- a Tech Company has Underpinned an Expansion that Help Mobility Fleets
Jose Luis Fregoso has been in the business of car rental for quite some time. He has easily been in it long enough to know that there are a lot of forces gathering to try and use it in a rapid change. This is going to be done throughout the industry. They have found time and time again that their clients really don't want to rent a car for 24 hours a day because most of the time it will just end up being parked. Those who work in automotive jobs or even in automotive recruitment will understand this more than anyone. That is why next month, Fregoso are going to work hard to try and launch a brand-new project. This is going to be done in Cancun and it involves them making a fleet of 50 cars. They will be operating on a rental network and the pilot is going to be the first step of a very large transition. They anticipate that they are going to be transforming the market and that they may also go on to experience a ton of success.
Rentals have been around for decades, and even Zipcar have been founded in the US. There has been a ton of speculation done to try and help those with bikes and even scooters to take part in the scheme as well. A lot of it however has been largely underpinned by a French company that provides technology to anyone who needs it. More companies have taken him up on the project of having such a makeover and in March they have even launched their own rental fleet. They have done this by using the Chevrolet Equinox crossover. The cars are going to change the market as we know it.
Flat Rock Flip-Flops are a Sign of the Times
Ford's own Rock plant is going to be building EVs instead of building autonomous cars as it was first expected. Of course, it's important to know that they have changed their minds twice when it comes to the type of vehicles that they plan on making and this is especially the case when you look at how things have developed over the last few years. Ford have predicted that the demand for the commercial vehicles have necessitated more room than what was originally planned. It has also shifted into an upcoming crossover from that plant to one in Mexico. This was done in an attempt to try and free up way more capacity, but that being said, it has freed up way more automotive jobs and even automotive recruitment opportunities.
Now the automaker is working hard to try and reverse the course. They have decided that their battery-operated vehicles need a second base. This is in addition to the one that is in Mexico right now. It has also been said that Flat Rock are going to be making EVs and that the AV production is going to be moving elsewhere. This will probably be in southeast Michigan.
Ford's own Flat Rock illustrates the difficulty that automakers experience when they gauge the demand for unproven technologies. It also shows the speed at which the plans can change. A lot of multibillion bets show that consumers will eventually overcome the fear of having robot cars. This also indicates that one day, EVs will take off. This is one of the many reasons why Ford are trying to make this move. They believe that everyone needs to have the chance to expand in their beliefs and that although EVs are not selling right now, a lot of people believe that they will most certainly grow in the future, and that it is pretty clear that everything is moving in the right direction.
Lotus have Positioned themselves Ready for Life after Brexit
It would seem as though the Evora is actually the only Lotus car that is sold in the US. The automaker has stated that the future will most certainly be engineered to meet the standards of the key market. The Lotus company are stockpiling parts just in case the UK do leave the EU. Even though there has been a steady amount of concern regarding the block supply chain, it's safe to say that the risk of a hard Brexit is always a possibility and that it is more than possible for the brand's aggressive five-year plan to be affected. This is especially interesting if you work in automotive jobs or even in automotive recruitment.
They have stated that they are going to try and get their heads down so that they can deliver it. Popham has stated that during a visit to Automotive News, they talked with the owners and they also did everything in their power to try and get the board talking about it as well. They have come to the conclusion that Brexit does not change how they operate in the long-term. They believe that they need to get a deal done, and regardless of what this is, they need to prepare for it.
They believe that the worst scenario is if they leave under the WTO arrangements and that they end up paying duties elsewhere. A lot of people are aware of the fact that the UK is one of the top 20 trading countries in the world, and that you have to assume that the agreements need to be made. They believe that their sales are going to increase and that more needs to be done in an attempt to keep businesses safe during this time. That being said, Lotus look to be setting a good example when it comes to Brexit.
TDS Have Appointed an Independent Complaints Reviewer
The TDS Scheme, or the Tenancy Deposit Scheme are the private rental sector's longest deposit protection service. The role of the reviewer will be to look at the way that the TDS have investigated their complaints in the past about their service. They wanted to make sure that the complaints that were filed were incredibly transparent and they also dealt with the issues that have been raised. One of the three government-backed tenancy deposit schemes has now come into place.
They bring more than 20 years of experience to the new role. Margaret Doyle is a consultant when you look at the ADR and they are also independent when it comes to their mediating abilities. They have served as an independent complaints service and they are also working hard to try and make sure that they meet their complaint requirements. Of course, if you work in estate agent jobs or even in lettings recruitment then you will know this more than anyone.
Steve Harriott is the chief executive for TDS. They have done this to try and bolster the scheme's own transparency members. They are also doing this to try and widen the private renting sector. If someone who is complaining is unhappy about the TDS response, then they can file a complaint and they can also escalate it as a result. This is going to mean some very big and positive changes, not to mention that these have been required for quite some time. If you want to stay up to date on these changes or if you need to know more about the TDS then you can find out whatever you need to know online. This is the easiest way for you to feel confident in the changes that are being made and even how they are going to affect you in the future.
The First Cuts for Mortgage Relief Have Kicked In
Landlords across the country are going to be frantically trying to get their self-assessment forms done. They are going to get them done for the 2017-2018 tax year period and they have also been able to claim 100% mortgage relief interest for any rental properties they have. Nowadays however, they are only able to claim 75% of this. The remaining amount will then qualify for 25% tax credit and this is all due to the new regime. Those who work in lettings recruitment or even in estate agent jobs will know more than anyone how this is going to affect the local community.
They have argued time and time again that thousands of landlords will have to pay way more tax when it comes to the changes that have been introduced. If your landlord's clients and their properties are in a much higher price bracket will have to pay way more tax under the charges and this is only going to mean bad things for the future. As if that wasn't enough, they also won't get all of their tax back on their mortgage either. This is going to push a lot of landlords who have buy to let mortgages into a higher tax bracket. This is even the case if their income is not going to increase. The tax will be applied to turnover instead of profit and to cover these additional costs, they may even have to increase the cost to a tenant as well, and this could cause major problems for them and the people who rent the properties as well. Of course, if you are finding it hard to come to terms with this or if you need to know more about the rental changes that are happening then you can find all of the resources you need on the internet.
Tenancy Deposit Disputes are Still Low
Less than 1% of all tenancies now involve a dispute. This is according to new figures that have been released by the TDS. These statistics are published every single year and they are also put together by a variety of sources. This includes data from the FOI and even from a huge range of non-profit organisations as well. The briefing has been released and it also details the disputes across a ton of protection schemes. Over 3.7 million tenancy deposits are currently held and only 31,865 ended up in disputes. This is for the 6th year running and one of the most common sources of disputes is actually cleaning. You also have rent arrears, decorations and bad landlord services. This is especially interesting to know if you happen to work with lettings recruitment or estate agent jobs.
The report has been written by the TDS chief Steve Harriott. He revealed a ton of other insights into the broader PRS and since 2010 there has been a 26% rise in the average deposit value. The report is also seeing some seasonal variations as well. The TDS sister organisation is known as TDSNI and they have also released their own briefing. They have demonstrated that between sectors in both regions, the deposit has remained stable. This is over half the average when you look at the value for both England and Wales.
The number of tenancy deposits that are protected have increased by a significant amount over the last 10 years and the rates of disputes have also remained low. This means that there is a large majority of tenancies in agreement and that people are working together as they should be. Only time will tell if this is the case, but it is important to keep this in mind.
