Welcome to Wednesday as we talk about the big finalization of new FTC rules that has NADA CEO Mike Stanton not mincing words. We also talk about a big stock purchase of Ford by one of their employees, as well as a Christmas rescue of a Cybertruck. The FTC has finalized a new rule yesterday, targeting deceptive car-buying practices, including junk fees and misleading promises, set to transform the automotive retail landscape by July 2024…for better or worseThe rule, set to go into effect on July 30, 2024, requires transparent pricing and prohibits non-beneficial add-ons, such as oil changes packages included in an EV contract, or nitrogen that isn't much different than normal airIt aims to protect consumers, particularly servicemembers, from deceptive practices costing $3.4 billion annually.The National Automobile Dealers Association criticizes the rule for adding complexity and increasing compliance costs, noting that The Center For Automotive Research suggests it will add 2 hours to the transaction time. This counters the FTCs claim that it will reduce time by 3 hoursThe same study suggests that Dealers face  $18 to $22 billion in extra compliance costs over a decade due to the FTC rule, far exceeding the agency's estimate of $1.36 to $1.57 billion.Mike Stanton, CEO of NADA said Tuesday: “This regulation is heavy-handed bureaucratic overreach and redundancy at its worst... The FTC made up data to support its claims, then rejected calls to slow down the process and test the effectiveness of its proposal with real consumers. We are exploring all options on how to keep this ill-conceived rule from taking effect.”Ford's chief electric vehicle, digital, and design officer, recently made the largest non-family investment in the company since 2004 purchasing $2 million in Ford stock, reflecting confidence in the automaker's future.Doug Field acquired 182,000 shares at $11.05 each which doubles the $1 million stock purchase by former COO Jim Farley in 2020, signaling optimism in Ford's direction.A Ford spokesperson commented, "Doug has a substantial ownership interest in Ford stock, which shows he believes in the company's future."A twitter user captured a Tesla Cybertruck's failed attempt to climb a snowy hill, requiring rescue by his friend's Ford Super Duty, raising questions about its off-road capabilities, and of course, embarrassing the new vehicle  The incident occurred in California's Stanislaus National Forest, where the Cybertruck struggled on a snowy incline and needed recovery by a Ford F-series.Factors influencing the failure include inadequate all-terrain tires for snow and a software issue preventing the use of "lockers" for better traction.Also absent from the Cybertruck were any pickup or recovery points, meaning the truck had to be pulled out by its control armsHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

In 1985, the automobile giant Ford was teetering on the edge of financial collapse. Faced with internal chaos, an uninspiring product line, and fierce competition from Japanese cars – they needed a sensation. Enter: The Ford Taurus. This breakthrough model didn't just rescue the company, it sparked new life in an industry that represented 3% of the United State's GDP. But how Ford did it is even more surprising. For the first time ever, the venerable carmaker changed how it made cars. It introduced a brand new cross-functional team approach, putting engineering and design together in the same room, and welcoming the contributions of employees across the organization. The Taurus was not just a revolutionary product, it represented a revolution in how to do business. In this episode, host Gabriela Cowperthwaite takes us to the design floor where together creative geniuses from different departments hash out the details of an entirely new American automobile. We hear from John Risk, the Program Director of the Ford Taurus project, and Jack Telnack, then the head of North America design. We also get the insights of Eric Taub, author of "Taurus: The Making of the Car That Saved Ford," and David Cole, former director of the Center For Automotive Research. Teamistry is an original podcast from Atlassian.

During Earth Week 2011, I visited the OSU campus, and toured the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) where the world's fastest electric vehicle (top speed 320 mph) is housed. The only thing more impressive than getting to see the “Buckeye Bullet” in person was meeting the Director of CAR, Dr. Giorgio Rizzoni. While the Buckeye Bullet is fueled by lithium ion batteries, the world class research facility run by Dr. Rizzoni is fueled by his unparalleled brilliance and enthusiasm for advanced electric propulsion and energy storage systems for reduced fuel consumption and emissions. Dr. Rizzoni and his team are focused on advanced engines and alternative fuels that will shape transportation in the 21st century. Whether you're into cars or into green, this interview will leave you thrilled that Dr. Rizzoni is in the driver's seat of one of the world's premiere transportation transformation incubators!
