9+ min ago (357+ words) Tesla Inc produced its 4 millionth vehicle in China as a Model Y L rolled off the line at its Shanghai Gigafactory on Monday, reinforcing the site's position as the electric-car maker's biggest global production hub. The Shanghai plant accounts for about half of Tesla's worldwide production capacity and serves as its primary export base. Shipments from the facility exceeded 35,000 vehicles in October, the highest monthly total in two years. Built to Tesla's own design standards, the factory integrates stamping, welding, painting and final assembly under one roof and can turn out a car roughly every 30 seconds. Localization has reached 95 percent, with suppliers across the Yangtze River Delta helping cut logistics and manufacturing costs. Those efficiencies have enabled Tesla to price Shanghai-made Model 3 and Model Y vehicles below levels in other markets. Since the first locally produced Model 3 was delivered in…...

The German automaker also promises improvements in driving dynamics and refinement as the new-gen GLB is built upon the more modern Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture (MMA), as opposed to the ageing MFA2 platform that underpins the original GLB. Visually, the new GLB carries over the upright stance of the existing model, but the design language is all-new and more rounded, with three-pointed star motifs incorporated into the headlights, tail-lights, and grille. While the second-gen GLB's side profile and rear " with its full-width tail-light bar " appear better resolved than the vehicle it will replace, the newbie's open-mouthed face looks a tad ungainly " at least to…...

1+ hour, 54+ min ago (334+ words) The technology developed by the research team is a dry manufacturing process that forms a dual-fibrous structure inside the electrode, simultaneously creating thin "thread-like" and thick "rope-like" fibers. This dual-fiber (dual-fibrous) architecture enables the technology to address both the low mixing strength and performance degradation issues of conventional dry processes at the same time. However, it relies on toxic organic solvents, which creates a heavy environmental burden, and the time required for drying and solvent recovery is long, leading to high production costs. As a result, there has recently been growing interest in developing dry-process technologies that do not use solvents. As a result, in conventional dry processes it has been difficult to uniformly mix the electrode materials, and the low cohesion of the mixture has led to persistent concerns that the performance and durability of the finished batteries are…...
