Three of the biggest producers of electric vehicles are reportedly set to pump the brakes on production

Three of the biggest producers of electric vehicles are reportedly set to pump the brakes on production, citing a bad economy and higher interest rates thanks to Joe Biden’s bad economic policies. Tesla, General Motors, and Ford all have said they plan to sIow production essentially until the economy shows some signs of settling down.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk joined General Motors and Ford in voicing concerns that high-interest rates on car purchases would prevent borrowers from securing financing for expensive eIectric vehicles. Musk said, People hesitate to buy a new car if there’s uncertainty in the economy. I don’t want to be going into top speed into uncertainty.

Musk aIso is planning to take a wait-and-see approach to the economy before ramping up the planned Tesla factory in Mexico. Musk’s comments came after poor quarterly results across the board. Not only were Tesla’s sales down, but so were earnings per share and vehicle production.

General Motors, for their part, has plans to delay production of the electric Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks by a year, citing flattening demand for the electrified vehicIes. Over at Ford Motors, they are cutting one of the three shifts that currently builds the electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck. The automaker made this decision following a summer where they took some of the focus off of electric, instead looking toward commercial fleet vehicles and hybrids.

This house, located at 2,800 meters above sea level, is considered the loneliest in the world and fascinates with its interior

Nestled in the Italian Dolomites, Buffa di Perrero sits at 2,800 meters above sea level and is often referred to as “the loneliest house in the world”.

Although this isolated structure has been abandoned for a century, it still captures the imagination.

The origins of the Buffa di Perrero are mysterious. It is widely believed that during World War I, workers were sent to this remote location to build some sort of shelter.

Legend has it that Italian soldiers built this hidden refuge to escape harsh weather conditions and seek shelter during battles with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Constructed of brick walls and a sloping roof, the building features four windows and camping chairs, stimulating curiosity about how the materials were transported to such a remote location. Steel ladders and ropes were used to negotiate the treacherous terrain and access the structure.

During World War I, similar “bivouacs” were constructed along the Italian front as temporary rest areas and strategic observation points amid the intense mountain warfare.

Since then, the weather damage has taken its toll. The hut reportedly became “unusable” for climbers after the roof collapsed. Nevertheless, adventurers can take a look into this mysterious house via steel ladders, rungs and ropes.

The interior, with its wooden decor, evokes the attempts of both soldiers and modern explorers to relax in this remote refuge.

Inspired by the Buffa di Perrero, the Auronzo Club Alpino Italiano (CAI) built a modern refuge near the Forcella Marmarole pass.

For those seeking an adventurous trip, a challenging five-hour hike leads to this modern hideaway reminiscent of the Buffa di Perrero. Like many iconic landmarks, the Buffa di Perrero has given rise to numerous imitations.
