Tesla to launch long-wheelbase Model Y in China first
Tesla announced on its Chinese Weibo platform the upcoming launch of the new Model Y L, the long-wheelbase version of its best-selling Model Y. The new variant offers six seats and an extended wheelbase, making it a more spacious family-friendly option. The company also released a short video showcasing the car's design, confirming that the Chinese market will be the first to receive it. Tesla has already started taking orders for the Model Y L on Tuesday, with prices starting at 339,000 yuan (around $47,184), according to its official website. This move highlights the company's effort to refresh its lineup in China, the world's largest car market, at a time when competition is intensifying. Yet the road ahead is not easy. Tesla faces mounting pressure after sales of its China-made EVs fell by 8.4% in July, while local brands such as Xiaomi continue to attract customers with more affordable models like the YU7, which was recently featured in an exclusive first Arabic test by our colleague Ahmed Abu Jameel on 'Unboxing Geeks.' Competition also extends beyond Chinese automakers, with German giants BMW and Mercedes-Benz doubling down on the premium electric segment. While strengthening its presence in China, Tesla is also exploring other markets. In July, it launched a Model Y variant in India priced at around $70,000 — the highest among its key markets — in an attempt to penetrate a challenging country long criticized by Elon Musk for its high import tariffs. For more variety, Tesla also plans to introduce an upgraded version of the Model 3 with a longer range and rear-wheel drive in China, according to filings with the country's Ministry of Industry in July. Challenges, however, remain significant. A report from The Information revealed that Tesla is behind schedule in achieving its ambitious target of producing 5,000 humanoid robots (Optimus) by the end of 2025. This setback comes after a difficult year marked by the departure of top executives and thousands of job cuts. Today, Elon Musk continues to shape Tesla's future by focusing on autonomous driving technologies and AI-powered robotics. And while competition intensifies on all fronts, the launch of the Model Y L in China stands as a true test of Tesla's ability to defend its position in the world's largest and most crucial EV market.

Modi receives Beijing's top diplomat as India-China tensions ease amid US trade war
NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi received China's top diplomat on Tuesday, as the Asian powers resumed disputed border talks after years of tensions. The neighbors and the world's two most populous countries have been locked in a standoff triggered by deadly clashes along their Himalayan border, known as the Line of Actual Control, in 2020. Tens of thousands of troops, tanks, and artillery have since been deployed on both sides of the LAC, with both countries building new roads, bunkers, and airstrips in the high-altitude area. Despite multiple rounds of military and diplomatic engagements, friction points remained, with India restricting Chinese investments, banning dozens of Chinese apps, and scrutinizing trade ties, as it deepened relations with Beijing's rivals — the US, Japan, and Australia. But a recent disruption caused earlier this month by US President Donald Trump's trade war, in which he unexpectedly hiked the total duty on Indian exports to 50 percent, has created an opening for the Asian powers to seek to repair ties. Wang Yi, China's foreign minister, arrived in New Delhi for a three-day visit on Monday. Ahead of meeting Modi, he held talks with his counterpart, S. Jaishankar, who told him in his welcome speech that after a 'difficult period' in bilateral relations, the 'two nations now seek to move ahead.' Jaishankar said the visit would cover economic and trade issues, including cross-border trade, as well as people-to-people contacts. Wang also met India's national security adviser, Ajit Doval, for the 24th round of talks to discuss de-escalation of border tensions, and said he was ready to work with India 'to build more consensus and identify the direction, the specific goals of the boundary consultations going forward, and create more conditions for the improvement and further growth' of bilateral relations. A thaw between India and China began last year, when Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping held their first bilateral meeting in five years at a summit of BRICS nations in Russia's Kazan. They are expected to meet again later this month as Modi will visit China for a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. This will be the Indian prime minister's first official trip to China in over six years. 'Both are moving gradually to try and normalize a relationship. If you go back to October last year when Prime Minister Modi met President Xi Jinping, you saw the beginnings of some sort of an effort toward normalization,' Manoj Kewalramani, chairperson of the Indo-Pacific Research Program and a China studies fellow at the Takshashila Institution, told Arab News. But after years of freeze, the change was not likely to happen immediately. Kewalramani expected that as the two countries resumed talks, they would be followed by more engagements at the levels of commerce, finance and industry and technology ministers. 'We can start to build on areas where there are commonalities and where are shared interests that would inject some sort of stability not only in the relationship but also in the geopolitics of the region,' he said. 'One can argue that the disruption that Donald Trump has caused has led to some degree of urgency, but I don't think you're going to see an overnight change in the relationship. I think what you are going to see is a slow, cautious, calibrated effort by both sides to try and arrive at some sort of a new equilibrium.'

KSrelief signs agreement for joint executive program to support orphans in Ghana
RIYADH: The Saudi aid agency KSrelief has signed a joint executive program with a civil society organization to support and sponsor orphans in Ghana. The agreement aims to provide comprehensive care and sponsorship for orphans, including covering their educational expenses, the Saudi Press Agency reported. It also seeks to empower the families of orphans by offering training in financial literacy, marketing, entrepreneurship, and vocational skills. Moreover, beneficiaries will receive essential tools and supplies to help launch small-scale economic projects, such as sewing, baking, soap making, and retail operations. These initiatives are expected to directly benefit 850 individuals and indirectly support an additional 2,455 people. This endeavor aligns with Saudi Arabia's humanitarian and relief efforts, carried out through KSrelief, to support orphans worldwide and improve their living conditions. The Kingdom's humanitarian and charitable relief efforts continue unabated. The Kingdom has provided humanitarian and development aid exceeding $141 billion and implemented almost 7,990 projects in 173 countries, cementing its position as one of the world's largest donor countries, according to KSrelief. In a move to enhance this humanitarian role, the Kingdom established KSrelief on May 13, 2015, at the initiative of King Salman, to serve as the Kingdom's humanitarian arm abroad.
