00:00 - OPEN If you love wagons, today's Better Than New used vehicle is a bad-ass wagon made by Dodge that has a little bit of something for everyone. 01:00 - INTROThe Dodge Magnum was sold in the US from 2005-2008. Like many other manufacturers, Dodge didn't call their wagon "a wagon" either. They simply called it “Magnum” and like wagons of yester-year, the Dodge Magnum provided plenty of space for five people and all their stuff. But what made it vastly different from Grandpa's station wagon was its badass muscle car styling with performance to match, as long as you had the available 5.7 or 6.1-liter Hemi-V8 engine. 02:25 - MAGNUM MODELS OFFERED INITIALLY IN 2005When the Magnum was launched in 2005, the following configurations were offered to buyers: Magnum SE w/Rear Wheel DriveMagnum SXT w/Rear Wheel DriveMagnum SXT w/All Wheel DriveMagnum RT w/Rear Wheel DriveMagnum RT w/All Wheel Drive2006 Model year saw the introduction of the Magnum SRT-8Rear Wheel Drive-only6.1-liter Hemi V8 engine425-hp and 420-lb.ft. of torque 05:45 - WHY YOU MIGHT WANT ONE IF: You like wagons You like edgy styling You want a vehicle with the capacity to comfortably haul five people, but you also want it to haul in other ways as well. You like the styling and the V8 engine, but need all-wheel drive part of the year where you live. The idea of having the quickest, most bad-ass family hauler in your neighborhood truly appeals to you. 07:30 - WHAT MAKES IT GREAT? Infused with Mercedes DNA Looks cool Not like everything else It's not an SUV or a Crossover, yet it can do a lot of what those vehicles can do V8 PerformanceMagnum RT – Road & Track Road Test Results: 0-60 in 6.1 secondsQuarter mile in 14.6 sec. at 97.4 mphMagnum RT - Car and Driver Road Test Results0-60 in 6.1 secondsQuarter mile in 14.7 @ 97 mphMagnum SRT-8 - MotorTrend Road Test0-60 mph: 5.1-secondsStanding 1/4-mile: 13.1 sec @ 108 mph Magnum SRT-8 - Car and Driver Road Test0-60 mph: 5.1-secondsStanding ¼-mile: 13.6 @ 106 mphMagnum SRT-8 Motorweek Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejbUu7CxKcg&t=12s10:10 - WHAT'S NOT SO GREAT? Fuel Economy isn't great Rear Drive dynamics are not ideal for new or unskilled drivers. Hard interior plastics are not appealing Small, xlow windows make it harder to see out Automatic Transmission manual shift option is not intuitiveTransmission can get stuck in "park" on high mileage MagnumsWatch the following video link to get the transmission out of "park"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKWTbGijkVg&t=164sTakata airbag recall - check NHTSA.gov to see if this was fixedhttps://www.nhtsa.gov/equipment/takata-recall-spotlightPotential dropped valve seats in the 5.7 Hemi V8You're buying the former owner as much as you are buying the carGet a Prepurchase inspectionCaveat Emptor – let the buyer beware. 17:30 - RECOMMENDED DODGE MAGNUM TRIM LEVELSMinimum: The SXT with the 3.5-liter 250-hp 6-cylinder But I think you will want a V8 in this wagon The 5.7-liter Hemi offers plenty of power for most peopleAn AWD option is...

Electric vehicle owner Max Wilkinson - who is also a Cheltenham Councillor - recently bought a four-year-old hybrid Mini Countryman. He went home - but returned two hours later by which time the hybrid Mini was about half-charged. A week later Max received a penalty notice saying he'd been fined £90. Mr Wilkinson has paid the fine and doesn't dispute it. But he does think it doesn't quite make sense to restrict car charging to 90 minutes as well. - He said: “It seems illogical that quite a lot of EV and hybrid owners won't be allowed to spend enough time in the car park to get a full charge.” Email me any feedback to: hello@evnewsdaily.com It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast.

TESLA HALTS WORK AT SHANGHAI FACTORY FOR TWO DAYS AMID CHINA COVID CURBS - Tesla (TSLA.O) is suspending production at its Shanghai factory for two days, according to a notice sent internally and to suppliers, as China tightens COVID restrictions to curb the country's latest outbreak. - The Shanghai factory runs around the clock, and suppliers and Tesla staff were told on Wednesday in the notice, reviewed by Reuters, that production would be suspended for Wednesday and Thursday. - Many cities across China, including Shanghai, have been rolling out strict movement controls to stem the country's largest COVID-19 outbreak in two years. The measures have also caused factory shutdowns in parts of the country, putting pressure on supply chains. Original Source : https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/exclusive-tesla-stops-work-shanghai-factory-two-days-amid-china-covid-curbs-2022-03-16/ - "We are actively cooperating with the government's requirements for nucleic acid testing and other epidemic prevention requirements, and at the same time are doing our best to ensure production, overcoming difficulties together," the company said in a statement sent to Reuters. Original Source : https://uk.news.yahoo.com/tesla-says-trying-keep-production-022841904.html TESLA HACKER INDICATES MODEL Y STANDARD RANGE+ VARIANT COULD ROLLOUT FROM GIGA TEXAS FIRST - A Tesla hacker has discovered language in Software Update 2022.8.2 that seems to indicate a Model Y Standard Range+ variant will be rolling out from Gigafactory Texas initially, as deliveries are set to begin soon. - Last week, it was confirmed that a new Model Y variant packing just 279 miles of range was added to the EPA's FuelEconomy.gov website, confirming the vehicle was approved by the agency to enter the stream of commerce. Teslarati confirmed this by recovering several documents from the EPA, which confirmed that Tesla had applied for certification of the new Model Y variant on February 2, receiving a Certificate of Conformity from the EPA on February 16 - the new Model Y's range rating had Tesla enthusiasts stumped at whether the vehicle would equip the 4680 cells that Tesla confirmed would be in Austin-made vehicles. The low range rating seemed to indicate that Tesla could be rolling out a Standard Range vehicle using LFP cells - While the range ratings and batteries used in the Model Y are not present in the internal reference, green said the model name, Standard Range+, and location of manufacture, Gigafactory Texas, are included. Original Source : https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-standard-range-model-y-variant-giga-texas-hacker-indicates/ TESLA FIRED EMPLOYEE WHO REVIEWED ITS DRIVER ASSIST FEATURES ON YOUTUBE - Tesla has a complicated relationship with customers who pay to test the beta version of its “Full Sell Driving” software. Often, these people are diehard fans, keen to promote the company's prowess and show off its new driver assist features. Sometimes, though, they overshare — posting videos that show exactly when and how Tesla's software gets it wrong. - John Bernal, a former Tesla employee who reviewed the company's FSD Beta software on his YouTube channel AI Addict says he was fired by the company last month after posting a video that showed his Tesla hitting a bollard. - Bernal says that prior to his dismissal he was told verbally by his managers that he “broke Tesla policy” and that his YouTube channel was a “conflict of interest” (though his written separation notice did not specify a reason for his dismissal). Bernal said he'd previously been approached by managers after posting a video in March 2021 that showed a number of close calls with pedestrians and cyclists while using the FSD beta software. - A number of FSD Beta testers post reviews of the company's software on YouTube, and Bernal says he intends to maintain his channel (though he now needs to borrow friends' cars to test FSD Beta). As Bernal told CNBC: “I still care about Tesla, vehicle safety and finding and fixing bugs.” Original Source : https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/16/22980580/tesla-fired-employee-john-bernal-ai-addict-youtube-full-self-driving-beta-reviews 2022 WORLD CAR OF THE YEAR'S THREE FINALISTS ARE ALL ELECTRIC CROSSOVERS - Crossovers of all shapes and sizes are in high demand right now and it seems the very best ones are electric. The three finalists for the World Car of the year competition have been announced and they're all sporty electric high riders - Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. - The latter has already been crowned (European) Car of the Year for 2022, so its presence among the top three is not surprising. Hyundai Ioniq 5 is equally talented and geared more towards comfort, but its polarizing design is not as unanimously appreciated as the Kia's. - The winners in all six categories will be announced live at the 2022 New York Auto Show on April 13. Original Source : https://insideevs.com/news/573967/wcoty-finalists-2022-all-electric-crossovers 43-MILE EV RANGE FOR ALL-NEW KIA SPORTAGE PLUG-IN HYBRID - Kia UK has revealed full details of the all-new Sportage Plug-in Hybrid - emissions-free driving range of up to 43 miles (WLTP), rising to 48 miles on the WLTP City Cycle – enough to cover most daily commutes and shopping needs. Out on the open road, electric energy consumption is an impressive 3.68 miles/kWh - 1.6-litre T-GDi engine that works in tandem with a 66.9kW permanent magnet traction electric motor and a 13.8kWh lithium-ion polymer battery pack. The high-voltage battery sits centrally between the two axles under the body of the SUV - t on-board charger (OBC) system is rated at 7.2kW, making it the fastest-charging Kia PHEV to-date. The battery can complete a full charge in just 1hr 45m.

Initially, this refers primarily to the growing range of electric vehicle models, but electric sales are expected to increase further “rapidly”. - As the Group announced in the context of its business figures for 2021, it will already have 15 fully electric models in production this year, covering around 90 per cent of the current segments. However, BMW also included pre-production vehicles in the figure. Presumably, vehicles such as the i4 eDrive 40 and i4 M50 will also count as two models. - The big technology shift is scheduled for 2025 with the ‘New Class' debut, but the New Class will play only a minor role in cumulative sales by the end of 2025. “With the BMW iX and BMW i4, we have launched what are probably the best e-cars of the present day – at least the test results and the high demand from our customers speak for themselves,” says BMW CEO Oliver Zipse. “And with the BMW i7, we're going one better this year.” - BMW is pinning high hopes on the New Class, on which models from the size of a 1 Series to the 7 Series are to be based in perspective as a “cluster architecture” – and “uncompromisingly” designed for electric drives. A “completely new electric drive” reduces consumption and increases range. BMW does not provide details on this; the current fifth-generation involves current-excited synchronous motors. - If the new, more optimistic scenario materializes, annual sales of fully electric vehicles by the BMW Group could exceed 1.5 million units as early as 2030. - Just a few days ago, BMW called for political support in expanding the hydrogen refuelling infrastructure. - Instead of a 700-bar refuelling station every 150 kilometres by 2027, BMW called for intervals to be reduced to 100 kilometres to support hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
