Akron Beacon Journal
automotive
The piece says Tesla plans to phase out Cybertruck production to free capacity for Cybercab. For plants making Tesla vehicles or parts, that implies a shift in line allocation and future product mix rather than a companywide exit from automotive manufacturing.

aerospace
Signia Aerospace is moving to acquire an Addison aircraft cabin technology maker, so the change is at a local aerospace supplier rather than in design-only news. The excerpt does not say whether the deal affects a plant, jobs, or production in the Dallas area.
