Shoot us a Text.Episode #1130: As we gear up for our NAMAD coverage in LasVegas, Paul and guest co-host Ben Hadley are digging into the IRS's EV tax credit extension, how Gen Z balances screens with store shelves, and why Hyundai's futuristic plant still counts on the human touch to get the job done right.The IRS is giving EV buyers a little breathing room to secure the full $7,500 federal tax credit, shifting expectations just before a hard deadline set for the end of September.Previously, buyers had to take delivery of a new EV by September 30 to qualify for the $7,500 tax credit.The IRS now says a binding written contract and deposit by that date will secure the credit, even if delivery comes later.This update helps ease the Q3 rush from buyers and dealers scrambling to meet the original deadline.Automakers may now try to lock in future EV reservations as binding sales, but that could be risky for buyers.IRS: “Taxpayer will be entitled to claim the credit… even if the vehicle is placed in service after September 30, 2025.”Hyundai's new $5.5 billion Georgia plant is a showcase of robotic innovation—but even with 750 robots on the floor, it's the human touch that ensures each EV rolls out with quality and care.The Ellabell plant features a 2-to-1 human-to-robot ratio—far lower than the 7-to-1 U.S. industry average.Robots handle welding and material movement, while humans manage quality control and complex assembly.CEO José Muñoz says the goal is not to replace humans, but to “maximize human potential.”Hyundai has pledged to hire 8,500 workers by 2031 as part of a $2 billion state incentive deal.“It makes them feel a little safer than just relying on some machine,” said track team leader Chico Murphy.Gen Z may live online, but when it comes to shopping, the path to purchase often ends in-store. A new YouGov study shows this digital-native generation still values the physical retail experience.69% of Gen Z starts their buying journey online, but over half still browse in stores.Discovery is mixed: 50% hear about new products through personal connections, 46% find them while shopping in-store.29% of Gen Z spot items online but buy them in-store, while 21% do the reverse.Social media remains crucial—64% of Gen Z use it to discover products versus 44% of older adults.“Retailers can't afford to pick a side: Omnichannel is where the action is.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through this week's announcement of AppleCare One and automakers' opting out of CarPlay Ultra. AppleCare One is Apple's new subscription for customers to cover multiple devices with a single plan. It starts at $19.99 per month for up to three products, with the ability to add more for $5.99 per month for each additional device. The plan incudes all of the benefits that come with ‌AppleCare‌+, such as unlimited repairs for accidents, priority support, battery coverage, and more.  Subscribers can freely move their devices in and out of the plan at any time. ‌AppleCare‌ One also enables users to add products they already own that are up to four years old, providing they are in good condition, extending beyond the current 60-day window to purchase ‌AppleCare‌+. When a customer trades in a covered product with Apple, it is automatically removed from their ‌AppleCare‌ One plan and replaced with the new device.  ‌AppleCare‌ One also expands theft and loss protection to the iPad and Apple Watch. Previously, it was only available for the iPhone.  ‌AppleCare‌ One's pricing is the same regardless of the products that are covered. Apple says that a customer who enrolls their ‌iPhone‌, ‌iPad‌, and Apple Watch could save up to $11 per month versus enrolling in separate ‌AppleCare‌+ plans for each device. Customers in the United States can now sign up for AppleCare One on their ‌iPhone‌, ‌iPad‌, or Mac, or by visiting an Apple Store. We also discuss the news that automakers including BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, Polestar, Renault, and General Motors will not support ‌CarPlay‌ Ultra. It seems to be a major retreat from Apple's 2022 announcement, which originally named 14 automakers as future ‌CarPlay‌ Ultra partners. ‌CarPlay‌ Ultra goes far beyond traditional ‌CarPlay‌ by taking control of the entire dashboard experience. The system displays vehicle information like temperature, speed, and fuel levels alongside ‌iPhone‌ apps, creating what Apple calls "a unified and consistent experience across all the driver's screens." Currently, only Aston Martin offers CarPlay Ultra in production vehicles. Hyundai and its Kia and Genesis cars remain committed partners, while Porsche plans future support. Other originally announced brands like Ford and Nissan have provided no updates on their ‌CarPlay‌ Ultra plans.

Het woord herstel kennen ze niet bij Volkswagen en LVMH. Bij de autobouwer zijn de marges laag en keldert de winst. Met maar liefst 38,5 procent. Als klap op de vuurpijl verlaagt Volkswagen de verwachtingen voor de rest van het jaar. Bij LVMH gaat de omzet voor het vierde kwartaal op rij naar beneden.En de Franse luxeketen ziet het voorlopig nog niet goed komen. De Duitsers dus ook niet. Toch zijn beleggers enthousiast, want de beurskoers van beide bedrijven ging flink omhoog. Wat zien beleggers dat wij niet zien? Je hoort het deze aflevering.Hebben we het ook over een pijnlijk bezoek. President Trump kreeg een bouwhelm op en mocht langskomen op de bouwplaats van de Federal Reserve. De centrale bank bouwt daar aan nieuw hoofdkantoor. Hij stond de pers te woord met naast hem Fed-baas Jerome Powell. Dezelfde man die hij elke dag uitmaakt voor rotte vis.Gaat het ook over de goedkeuring die de Amerikaanse toezichthouder heeft gegeven voor de fusie tussen Skydance en Paramount. Waardoor we het dus even moeten hebben over de films van Tom Cruise, want die krijgen nu een ander onderkomen.Ook bespreken we problemen bij Intel. Daar gaat het nog steeds niet goed. Na al die ingrepen. Bij Tesla gaat het ook niet goed (dat hoorde je gisteren al), maar er komt nu nog iets bovenop. Musk blijkt niet al te best gehandeld te hebben met Bitcoin.

Joe Hegener thinks the market will hit highs in the second half of the year, but likens conditions to a “game of musical chairs.” One of his hot takes is that the euro won't exist in ten years – he thinks the Eurozone will look substantially different in the next decade as populist sentiment sweeps through its members. He also says that traditional automakers will “go the way of the Blackberry,” arguing that they've taken on too much debt to get into lithium-ion batteries when the next generation is already coming.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Yep, you read that right—Honda landed a rocket.Show Notes with links:CarMax's latest quarterly results are in—and they're cruising past analyst expectations with strong used vehicle sales, revenue growth, and record-breaking profit per unit.Q1 net income jumped 38% to $210.4 million, while revenue rose to $7.5 billion, up 6.1% year-over-year.Used retail vehicle sales hit 230,210 units, a 9% increase and gross profit per unit hit a record $2,407.Same-store sales were up 8.1%, marking the fourth consecutive positive quarter.“These results highlight the strength of our earnings growth model… and our sharp focus on execution.” — CarMax CEO Bill NashPresident Trump's proposed budget is taking aim at federal EV tax credits, with House and Senate Republicans offering two versions of how—and how fast—they should end. The result could drastically shift EV affordability and consumer interest.The House plan ends credits in 2026 for smaller brands but cuts off top sellers like Tesla and GM this year.Automakers under the 200,000-vehicle cap—like Rivian, Honda, and Lucid—would still benefit temporarily.The Senate version is more aggressive, ending all credits within 180 days and leasing perks immediately.EV leaders warn of market disruption; some predict a sales dip once credits vanish.“They're really trying to put a stake in the heart of EV subsidies,” said Mike Murphy, CEO of the American EV Jobs Alliance.In a move beyond automobiles, Honda has successfully launched and landed a reusable rocket as part of its R&D efforts to enter the space industry and support future satellite demand.The rocket hit 890 feet before landing within 14in of its target at a Japan test site.Honda leveraged tech from its automated driving systems for flight and landing.The launch took place in Taiki Town, a growing hub for aerospace development in Japan.The 21-foot, 2,800-pound rocket flew for just under a minute on retractable legs.“Honda will continue making progress... with a technology development goal of realizing a suborbital launch by 2029,” the company statedJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Recently, he has given automakers a break on the tariffs he put in place, hoping to drive more auto manufacturing to the United States. So where do the tariffs currently stand?

The [CB] will try to force empty shelves and try to convince the people that it's Trump, this will fail. Retailers have been preparing and other nations will fill the gap.

This is just the beginning, the narrative will continue until Trump and team shows how they over-through the US Gov and duly elected President in 2020.

Brussels has reportedly admitted that freeing itself from the dominance of US tech companies is unrealistic, and that "cooperation will remain significant across the technological value chain." EU states remain dependent on US tech companies, and US President Donald Trump's stance on Europe has the bloc fearing for its sovereignty in global technologies, including social media and cloud services. Another concern is linked to the ability of US law enforcement bodies to get access to data processed by Amazon, Microsoft and Google, the paper said. The draft of the strategy also signals that the EU has very few fresh ideas that may help Europe become an important player in the global technology field, the paper added.

In the next phase of the anti-Trump tariff agenda, approximately 3 months from now it will begin, we will see/hear a constant drumbeat of empty shelves, missing parts and missing products.  Whether factually true, or whether the shortages are an outcome of a strategy by the ILWA to assist the shortage narrative, the overall objective will be to blame President Trump for everything from shortages of medicine to shortages of parts to fix, repair or maintain consumer products.

The directive is the result of conversations directly with domestic auto manufacturers, a senior Commerce Department official said on a call with reporters.   The administration will offer automakers that finish their vehicles domestically a 15% offset of the cost of the tariffs. Automakers can choose how to allocate the offset.

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney took aim at President Donald Trump while claiming victory in his country's federal elections. Meanwhile, Trump is marking his 100th day in office by focusing on the economy, but voters are so far unimpressed. Automakers may soon get another tariff reprieve.
