Carvana is expanding from used cars into new-vehicle franchises, acquiring seven Stellantis stores (including a high-volume Casa Grande, AZ location) and signaling a potential shakeup of the U.S. franchised dealer model. The move leverages Carvana’s online-to-offline platform, a nationwide reconditioning capacity, and possible exclusive auctions, but faces regulatory and post-sale service questions across states. Analysts say the strategy could inject competition and alter how vehicles are bought, sold, and serviced across the lifecycle (new, used, parts, and financing).
A study in AGU Journal finds stress beneath Southern California’s San Andreas and San Jacinto faults has reached its highest level in about 1,000 years, especially near Cajon Pass. The model shows the faults’ stress levels are now unusually similar, raising the possibility that a rupture could jump between faults and propagate a larger quake from Los Angeles through the Inland Empire and Coachella Valley. Scientists caution that earthquakes can’t be predicted, but the conditions keep the region at elevated risk for a major, multi-fault event.

The Trump administration intends to build a 250-foot arch near Memorial Circle by Arlington National Cemetery without seeking fresh congressional authorization, arguing a century-old authorization for a similar project covers this plan; critics say it could skirt federal law, with lawsuits filed and a federal arts commission review pending for a revised proposal.
