Looks like the dealerships Carvana bought are paying off. They're sometimes charging $4k more than the competition and still selling as people choose not to deal with salespeople.
Looks like supply chain issues over the past six are pushing GM to move away from Just in Time manufacturing to an extent. They will be paying a third party to stock certain parts/materials.
I don't think they have said what will be stocked but I am guessing it will be a combination of chips and raw materials like lithium.
JiT is used in a lot of industries, but it might be best known for cars (part of "The Toyota Way") so it's interesting when one of the biggest manufacturers is now going to hedge against it. The world is too unstable.

I hadn't seen anyone else manage to spot one of these yet. I didn't expect the prototype to be driving around this soon tbh. It's lower to the ground than I anticipated, but it makes sense given aerodynamics.

I know there has been some pushback on someone like MKBHD being the first person to publish a review of the Ferrari Luce, so some may not find this interesting. On this week's waveform podcast, Marques talked a bit about the odd circumstances surrounding the filming and then there is a discussion. I thought it was interesting.
Here is a timestamped link for the part about the Luce: https://youtu.be/Vwh9SpgU5UM?t=2508
