Tesla registrations fell for a third straight month in April, Toyota’s bZ4X made the top-10 model list, factory incentives soared, and EV market share rose to 7.4 percent, data from S&P Global Mobility showed.
Legoland Florida has added a tribute to the Stanley Cup-winning Florida Panthers hockey team. Miniature versions of the players can be found in the theme park’s Miniland near the Miami-themed section of the attraction in Winter Haven.
The team won its first NHL championship Monday night with a Game 7 victory over the Edmonton Oilers.
Legoland’s builders put together 29 little hockey players, 20 fans, 18 dance-team members and six four-legged panthers. Several figures hold signs that say “I’m going to Legoland Florida Resort!,” a twist on the enduring “I’m going to Disney World” promotion after big games.
Some of the fan figures are holding rats, another tradition of Panther fans, who have tossed toy rodents onto the ice in celebration for decades. There’s a Lego-ized big-screen monitor, and one player is holding a trophy.
It took 20 hours for four master model builders to complete the Legoland project.
Other scenes in Legoland Florida’s Miniland include the Daytona International Speedway, Kennedy Space Center, Bok Tower, Key West and other U.S. locations such as New York City, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Southern California and Washington, D.C. Miniland is included with regular admission to Legoland Florida.

Royal Caribbean’s newest ship Utopia of the Seas is making its way across the Atlantic for its new home in Port Canaveral.
The second largest cruise ship in the world left the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France on Sunday and will arrive to Florida on July 11.
“The ship is coming straight to Port Canaveral from the shipyard so I think the first time we’ve had a ship come into the port, at least since I’ve been here, that’s brand new straight from the yard,” said Port Canaveral CEO Capt. John Murray during the port commission meeting Wednesday. “So we’re really excited.”
The port has welcomed ships in their first year of service before, but usually after they make their debuts sailing Europe. The port is planning a community celebration for the ship’s arrival letting the public into Jetty Park to wave as it sails in along with a naming ceremony before the ship’s first revenue sailing on July 19.
“Royal Caribbean selected us for that honor of having the ship first, so we’re really excited and we want to do a good job with it,” Murray said.
