Uber’s Growth Continues Despite Missing Estimates
Tesla Recalls Over 218,000 Vehicles
Tesla has issued a recall for over 218,000 vehicles in the US due to a delay in the rearview camera image when the vehicle is placed in reverse. The recall affects the 2017 and 2021-2023 Model 3 vehicles, as well as Model Y units sold between 2020 and 2023, and premium Model S and X units sold between 2021 and 2023. Tesla has released an OTA update to fix the issue.

Spirit Airlines’ Fan-Led Buyout Plan
A fan’s ‘Packers-Style’ buyout plan for Spirit Airlines has drawn $88 million in pledges.

A minimum pledge of $45 is required to become a shareholder in the Spirit 2.0 model.
Toyota Forecasts 22% Profit Drop Due to Iran War
