Tesla set a new sales record in Q3. Elon Musk’s automaker sold ~497k cars last quarter, up by 7.4% from last year and well ahead of Wall Street’s projections as consumers raced to buy electric vehicles before the federal government’s $7,500 EV tax credit expired on Sept. 30. That’s the good news. The bad news is it may be the company’s last good quarter for the foreseeable future, as EV sales are widely expected to plunge now that the tax credit has expired. Prior to the sales rush in Q3, Tesla had been struggling due to increased competition and Musk’s controversial foray into US politics. The CEO recently became the world’s first half-trillionaire.
Two killed in attack on UK synagogue. A suspect rammed a car into people and then stabbed them outside of a synagogue in Manchester yesterday, killing two and injuring four others in what police described as a terrorist attack. The rampage came on Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, as people gathered at an Orthodox temple shortly after services began. Authorities shot and killed the suspect and arrested two others, but did not say how they may have been connected to the attack. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the assailant “vile” and said he “attacked Jews because they are Jews.”
Delta planes collided in low-speed collision on LaGuardia taxiway. Two regional Delta jets collided while taxiing at NYC’s LaGuardia Airport late Wednesday night. No passengers were hurt, but one flight attendant was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The wing of a plane departing for Roanoke, Virginia, reportedly clipped the nose and cockpit of a jet arriving from Charlotte, North Carolina, forcing passengers to deplane and take buses back to the terminal. While it’s unclear what caused the collision, it comes as a shortage of air-traffic controllers in the US has contributed to a number of aviation incidents this year.—AE
