Motor Morsels: GM Discounts, Tesla in Mexico, and Diesel Vs. Diesel Vs. Diesel

✂️💰🇨🇳 As market pressures in China intensify, General Motors (GM) has reduced the Cadillac Lyriq's price by almost 14% to 379,700 yuan ($52,466), mirroring Volkswagen's recent EV price cuts. This response is to remain competitive in a market witnessing surges in locally-produced EV brands. Despite increasing EV sales, industry-wide profitability could be at risk due to price competition. The trend follows Tesla's price cut in January, resulting in a domino effect across nearly two dozen automakers.

👷‍♀️👍🇲🇽 Tesla has received approval to begin constructing its new Gigafactory in Mexico, according to Nuevo León Governor Samuel García. Located near Monterrey, the factory is expected to produce Tesla's next-generation entry-level electric vehicle. Despite no construction start date, all essential permits are in place, indicating an imminent launch.
