Shoot us a Text.We're coming to you live from Bozard Ford Lincoln as we're finishing up our More Than Cars shoot. Today, we're talking about how Nissan is trying to reassure its dealers that the sky isn't falling, how the US added 12,000+ new EV chargers in Q3, and how Google's Veo, a generative AI video model, beat OpenAI's Sora to market.Show Notes with links:Nissan Motor Co. is under pressure as financial challenges force the automaker to cut jobs and slow production. Activist investors and speculation about its future as an independent company are adding to the turmoil.U.S. dealers received a memo from Nissan Americas Chair Jeremie Papin outlining turnaround priorities: product competitiveness, business stabilization, and growth.Nissan has slashed its full-year income outlook by 70%, cut $2.6 billion in expenses, and laid off 9,000 workers globally, including 500 U.S. salaried employees.Market share has plummeted, dropping 25% over five years to just 5.6% in the U.S., with dealership profitability hitting a 15-year low.Production reductions include a 17% U.S. output cut, fewer assembly shifts, and an anticipated 100,000-vehicle drop in fiscal year production.Papin reassured dealers of Nissan's liquidity, stating, “Our $9 billion in net cash allows us to prioritize future investments in research and development.”The US added 12,000 new EV charging ports in the past three months, bringing the total to nearly 204,000 marking a doubling of chargers since late 2020, pre-Biden administration and NEVI Program launch.NEVI (National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) Formula Program contributed 126 ports across 31 stations in nine states this quarter, an 83% increase in open NEVI ports since Q3.Coverage of DC fast chargers on major corridors grew from 38% in 2020 to 59.1% in 2024; expected to reach 70% by late 2025.41 states have announced charging projects under NEVI, with 35 awarding agreements for over 3,560 fast charging ports across 890+ locations.Rhode Island became the first fully built-out NEVI state, while states like Kentucky, Hawaii, and Maine opened new stations, advancing access nationwide.The program has allocated nearly $2.4 billion in funding across two rounds to all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. $586 million has been set aside for a third round of funding for fiscal year 2025.Google's Veo, a generative AI video model, is now available via Vertex AI, beating OpenAI's Sora to market. Veo offers powerful tools for businesses to enhance content creation pipelines.Veo generates realistic 1080p videos over a minute long from text or image prompts.Text-to-image tools also roll out to all Vertex AI users next week, with features for brand-specific editing.SynthID watermarking prevents misinformation and copyright issues, rivaling Adobe's tools.Google reports that 86% of AI-using businesses are seeing revenue boostsHosts: 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

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Monday morning and we're rolling heavy into this week as we explore how Hurricane Helene impacts auto dealerships' insurance, the launch of IONNA's EV fast-charging network, and why October is now a major sales season for retailers like Amazon and Walmart.Show Notes with links:As natural disasters like Hurricane Helene become more frequent and severe, and with Hurricane Milton facing down Florida's gulf coast, insurance companies are reassessing their risk models. Auto dealerships, in particular, face unique challenges in protecting high-value inventory and managing insurance costs in the aftermath of such storms.Andrew Hoffman, a professor at the University of Michigan, says these decisions will likely reflect trends, not just isolated incidents like Helene.He noted that auto dealerships may need to implement additional storm-proofing measures to secure insurance coverage.Meanwhile, some auto dealers are banding together to help those affected. The Jim Ellis Automotive Group in Georgia launched a relief campaign, collecting essential supplies like toiletries, canned goods, and baby formula for Helene-impacted residents in North Carolina.The group, in partnership with a vendor, filled a 36-foot trailer with supplies for affected areas and plans to make additional supply runs as recovery efforts continue.IONNA is taking EV charging to the next level with the opening of its first "Rechargery" in Apex, NC, offering ultra-fast chargers and customer-friendly amenities.IONNA is backed by eight major automakers, including BMW, General Motors (GM), Honda, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Stellantis, and Toyota and its first Rechargery will feature 10 fast chargers capable of up to 400kW, serving both CCS and NACS users.The Apex site, once an old gas station, symbolizes the transition from fossil fuel to electric energy infrastructure.Amenities include a lounge with WiFi, food, coffee, and outdoor, pet-friendly spaces for drivers to relax while charging.IONNA plans to build 30,000 fast EV chargers across the U.S. by 2030.Amazon's October Prime Big Deal Days introduces unexpected holiday sales items, such as chainsaws, as the company seeks to expand holiday shopping earlier. Other retailers, like Walmart and Lowe's, are joining in with October deals, offering steep discounts across various categories.The event is seen as a strategic move to encourage Prime members to spend more and clear out less popular July Prime Day items like camping gear, yard tools, and chainsaws.A survey by Optimove Insights found that 67% of shoppers expect to feel overwhelmed by holiday marketing messages by November 1, especially with so many sales happening at once.“There is a risk of holiday marketing fatigue,” said Sky Canaves, retail analyst at Emarketer.Hosts: 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

In this episode of the Building HVAC Science Podcast, hosts Bill Spohn and Eric Kaiser engage in a lively "duo cast" discussing the various measurements they take in their homes and the reasons behind them. They start the conversation by reflecting on their recent episode with Gary Klein, which inspired Eric to set up a data logging system to monitor hot water temperatures in his home. This leads to a broader discussion about the different tools and devices they use to track energy consumption and efficiency, such as the Emporia Vue energy monitor, which helped Bill identify a faulty installation in his heat pump system. The hosts delve into their personal experiences with various smart home devices, including air quality monitors from Airthings, radon monitors, and even an innovative weather station called Tempest. They share insights on how these devices have provided valuable data, helping them make informed decisions about their home's energy use and indoor air quality. Bill highlights his use of an ERV system that runs based on CO2 levels. At the same time, Eric discusses his plans to upgrade his home's ventilation and dehumidification systems using the Haven air quality monitor. Toward the end of the episode, Bill and Eric discuss their use of fitness trackers, discussing the metrics they monitor for personal health. Bill also mentions his latest acquisition, a Bluetooth meat probe, which he plans to use to perfect his grilling techniques. The episode wraps up with the hosts emphasizing the importance of integrating monitoring tools into everyday life to enhance comfort, efficiency, and well-being and inviting listeners to reach out for more information on the products discussed.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.It's Monday and that means we GET to work in automotive retail. Today we're talking about GM's adjusted EV plans, BP's investment into EV charging and what it means to be “luxury.”Show Notes with linksGeneral Motors is gearing up to launch a series of new electric vehicles across its Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac brands this year, aiming to capture a broader market despite current sales challenges.Although EV sales growth has slowed due to high prices and charging concerns, GM still aims for zero-emission light-duty vehicles by 2035.GM has already cut EV production targets by up to 50,000 units this year.The Chevrolet Equinox EV is expected in all trims this year, and is set to be GM's most affordable electric vehicle. MSRP will start at around $35,000, including shipping before the $7,500 federal tax credit.Looking ahead, GM will introduce the new-look Chevy Bolt in 2025 and plug-in hybrids in 2027.GM's Mary Barra said "I think we all know that the growth of EVs has slowed. We never expected it to be linear."BP is partnering with Simon Property Group to install 900 electric vehicle (EV) chargers at various locations as a part of BP's broader strategy to expand its EV charging network and support the increasing demand for electric vehicles.Last year, BP Pulse made plans to invest $1 billion in America's EV infrastructure by the end of the decade.BP Pulse has more than 33,900 EV charge points globally, the company said, and plans to have 100,000 points by 2030.This initiative supports BP's commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions and reducing carbon emissions.Mercedes-Benz and Starbucks are also teaming up to install fast electric vehicle chargers at 100 coffee-slinging locations on Interstate 5, which runs along the West Coast from Canada to Mexico.These new stations will be part of the German automaker's $1 billion plan to build 2,000 new EV charging hubs across the globe.A recent Morning Consult Intelligence brand tracker study highlights shifting priorities among luxury shoppers, with over 75% saying quality is more important than cost in luxury retail.65% of consumers value exclusive access to products as part of their luxury shopping experience, and 64% believe that high price is an important aspect of luxury.Superior customer service is crucial, with 72% citing it as a key expectation and 63% expect personalized shopping services as part of their experience.In travel, luxury is defined by comfort; in food and beverages, it's fresh, rare ingredients.Most luxury purchases are still made in brick-and-mortar stores, including secondhand items.Hosts: 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
