Good morning, Daily Money friends, it's Nathan wishing you a happy Wednesday!

Sorry to say that Prime Day is over. But there are still plenty of deals to be had on Amazon.

On to our ... 

💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY: The Tesla Model 3 is the most made-in-America vehicle in 2021, according to an annual Cars.com review. The study assesses how much vehicles contribute to the American economy via their assembly and parts production. The Ford Mustang placed second.

📰 And here are more stories you won't want to miss:

1. As COVID fades, Americans are returning to beach towns. But restaurants and stores are struggling with shortages.

2. Yes, the rental car shortage is maddening: Maybe it's time to look into car-sharing.

3. The Lucid Air is closer to becoming a reality. The ultra-luxury electric car now has a New York City showroom.

4. "They're hitting the pause button": Volatility in lumber prices is forcing many Americans to delay costly renovations.

5. Finding starter homes has been tough. But more homes for first-time buyers may be about to hit the market.

6. If you're buying your first home, don't forget about these three often-overlooked expenses.

7. Warren Buffett is no long associated with the Gates Foundation: He resigned as a trustee as part of an ongoing plan to step down from most of his various leadership roles.

8. Up and down it goes: Bitcoin briefly crashed on Tuesday. Where is it headed?

I don't know, but I will say this: It takes nerves of steel to have your money in cryptocurrency right now given all the volatility.
