Ford’s electric pickup is selling like hotcakes at 50% off used

Published by Miika Tikkanen

Once America’s most popular electric pickup, Ford’s F-150 Lightning is finding a second life on the used market. Ford F-150 Lightning finds buyers in the used market The F-150 Lightning is hard to pass up at 50% to 60% off sticker price, even used. With new models no longer available, Ford’s electric pickup is suddenly selling like hotcakes on the used market. After the last model rolled off the assembly line last December, CEO Jim Farley said the decision to end production came as the “very high-end EVs, the $50K, 70K, $80,000 vehicles, they just weren’t selling.” At 50% to 60% off, it now looks like a bargain in the used market. “When Ford was selling it brand new, the math was complicated,” Jimmy Douglas, CEO of Plug, a wholesale EV dealer, told Bloomberg. On the used market, however, “the Lightning is 50% to 60% of the sticker price and that is really a sweet spot,” he added. Used Ford F-150 Lightnings are selling in about 20 days, less than half the 44-day average for …

Two people were convicted in a Hamburg court on Monday of money laundering in a case whose details closely match those of the two children of Serop Simonian, the German art dealer and alleged leader of an Egyptian antiquities trafficking ring that sold items to museums including New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Louvre Abu Dhabi. The conviction was reported by Arab News, which did not mention the names of the convicted parties or the French museum in the United Arab Emirates. The court ordered the convicted parties to turn over €32 million ($37 million) and pay fines of more than €90,000 ($105,000). Source link

Uber surprised robotics company Serve by selling its entire stake

Uber surprised robotics company Serve by selling its entire stake

Published by Miika Tikkanen

Uber has sold off its entire stake in Serve Robotics, the autonomous delivery robot company that spun out of the ride-hailing company more than five years ago. Uber made the disclosure in a regulatory filing that was first reported by Bloomberg. Uber’s exit from Serve Robotics has been brewing for at least a year, according to regulatory filings that show the company reduced its stake in 2025. Still, the final selloff came as a surprise to Serve, which learned about it once it was officially disclosed, according to a source familiar with the events. Uber could not be immediately reached for comment. The divestiture comes as the two once-tight companies have started to diverge on the business side. Serve got its start as Postmates X, the robotics division of the on-demand delivery startup Postmates that Uber acquired in 2020 for $2.65 billion. A year later, the division spun out as an independent company called Serve Robotics, a name taken from the autonomous sidewalk delivery bot that was developed and piloted by Postmates X. Uber not …

What makes eggs go brown as Sainsbury’s stops selling them | UK | News

What makes eggs go brown as Sainsbury’s stops selling them | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

After Sainsbury’s decision to ditch brown eggs and sell only white eggs, many Brits have been asking whether there is any nutritional difference between the two types and whether the move is a reason to switch their go-to supermarket. The reasoning behind the chain’s decision to switch to white eggs is their alleged 12.7% lower carbon footprint compared with brown eggs, according to Sainsbury’s own findings. This is because hens that lay white eggs consume less feed while producing the same number of eggs, reducing the resources required across the supply chain. Feed production accounts for 50–60% of the environmental impact of egg farming. Britain consumes around 14.5 billion eggs every year, producing an estimated 4.35 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions in the process. If the entire industry achieved the same 12.7% reduction claimed by Sainsbury’s, emissions could fall by more than 550,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, The Independent reports. That’s roughly the same as removing nearly 300,000 cars from Britain’s roads. But what about the difference in quality? For most of the 20th …
