The Hilton Financial District in San Francisco has defaulted on its loan, the latest major commercial failure and a sign of continuing crisis in the city’s retail and tourism sectors. Retail flight from the city began in earnest in late 2021, when mass looting hit Union Square, triggering a national phenomenon but also reinforcing a sense of despair about the state of downtown San Francisco. The city has had the slowest post-pandemic recovery of any major U.S. city and has been beset by homelessness, open-air drug abuse, and crime. A second London bus has burst into flames just a day after an electric double-decker exploded. The hybrid bus was completely destroyed by the fire which happened in North Woolwich, east London, at 7 am this morning. No one was hurt or injured in the blaze and the bus was not carrying any passengers. Pictures show the bus ablaze before dawn while photos taken in the daylight reveal a burnt-out shell. It took crews an hour to extinguish the blaze, while a 25-metre cordon was set up as an investigation is now launched. It comes after an electric bus caught fire in Wimbledon, south London, and caused chaos during the morning rush hour yesterday. And a former firefighter revealed to Metro about the difficulties of putting out an electric fire.

Fox 32 reports that the recent wave of freezing temperatures in Chicago has taken a significant toll on EVs, causing an unusual scene at the Oak Brook Tesla Supercharging station. This station, along with many others around the Chicago area, has been crowded with dead Teslas, as owners face difficulties in charging their vehicles. Tesla owner Tyler Beard experienced firsthand the challenges posed by the cold weather. Having tried to recharge his Tesla since Sunday afternoon, he was met with frustration, stating, “Nothing. No juice. Still on zero percent.” His charging difficulties stem from the impact subzero temperatures have on EV batteries, a problem Breitbart News has covered extensively in the past. From angry Tesla owners sharing videos of their cars failing to start to owners having to charge their vehicles six times in one day due to massively reduced battery performance, Tesla cars simply can’t handle the winter in a major portion of North America. Beard’s experience was not unique, as many others at the Oak Brook station faced similar issues, leading to long lines and abandoned cars. The situation was summarized by another Tesla owner, Chalis Mizelle, who abandoned her car and had to seek alternative transportation: “This is crazy. It’s a disaster. Seriously.” I remember in 8th grade ISCS Science class where we learned that batteries do not like cold temperatures. I guess nothing has changed.
