Shoot us a Text.Episode #1265: Today we cover Carvana doubling down on franchised dealerships, the solid-state battery arms race heating up as automakers target 2027 launches, and how 7-Eleven is using AI to cut frontline hiring from weeks to days—saving millions of hours while keeping humans in the loop.Carvana is leaning harder into the franchise world. The online used-car giant has acquired its fifth franchised dealership, adding a Stellantis store in Sacramento as it continues blending digital retail scale with traditional brick-and-mortar rooftops.Carvana purchased Sacramento Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram from Nouri/Shaver Automotive Group, with the deal closing Dec. 11.This is Carvana's fifth Stellantis dealership since they first acquired a store in February 2025, with locations in Arizona, Texas, Georgia, and a second California store.The move comes as Carvana reports strong momentum: used-vehicle sales jumped 44% year-over-year and Q3 net income hit $263 million.A Carvana spokesperson said, “We are proud to bring the Carvana experience to Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram customers in the Sacramento area.”Last week brought major milestones in the race to develop solid state batteries, signaling that commercial EV launches powered by solid-state tech are finally moving from promise to pilot.Volkswagen-backed QuantumScape opened its highly automated Eagle Line pilot facility in San Jose, advancing U.S.-based solid-state production.Karma Automotive and Factorial Energy announced the first U.S. solid-state battery production program for passenger vehicles, debuting in the electric Karma Kaveya in 2027.Factorial's momentum is global, with partners including Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and Hyundai/Kia, and mass production targeted for 2029.Gartner's Pedro Pacheco: “This means there is now an ‘arms race' to see who gets SSBs to market the fastest and most successfully.”7-Eleven is quietly building a playbook for the future of frontline hiring. By combining recruiters, automation, and conversational AI, the convenience-store giant has dramatically cut hiring time, reduced ghosting, and freed up store managers to focus on running the business.Applicants start the process via QR codes that connect them to an AI text assistant named RITA, which gathers info and schedules store-level interviews automatically.After acquiring Speedway in 2021, 7-Eleven shifted from store-only hiring to a recruiter-supported, centralized model that drives better applicant flow.Automated hiring slashed time-to-hire from nearly two weeks to just three days, while improving retention and candidate quality.Automation has saved store leaders over 2 million hours per year, handling about 95% of the hiring process and enabling smarter, store-level recruiting spend.Rachel Allen emphasized the human-fJoin 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/

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1210: President Trump moves to unwind fuel-economy rules, hybrids surge while EV sales stumble across major brands, and OpenAI hits “code red” as the AI race heats up.Show Notes with links:The Trump administration is preparing to undo Biden-era fuel economy rules, arguing the standards have inflated new-car prices and forced unwanted EV adoption.Proposed rules expected to significantly soften the Biden-era 2031 target of ~50 mpg.Detroit automaker execs, including Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa, will attend Wednesday's announcement.Trump frames the rollback as necessary to reduce vehicle prices, despite economists noting price drops wouldn't be immediate.Trump said he's “bringing back the automobile business,” predicting the industry will be “bigger than we've ever been.”He noted he likes EVs and believes hybrids “are working really well,” but defended ending what he called the “insane electric vehicle mandate” to ensure buyers “have a choice.”November delivered a clear message from American shoppers: hybrids are in, EVs… not so much. Across Toyota, Ford, Honda, Hyundai and Kia, strong hybrid gains couldn't offset steep EV drop-offs after the loss of federal tax credits—shaking up sales trends as dealers prep for year-end pushes.Toyota sales rose 2.7%, powered by light trucks, but EV volume cratered; electrified sales (mostly hybrids) still made up 44% of all deliveries.Ford deliveries dipped 0.7% as F-150 Lightning sales fell 72% and Mustang Mach-E dropped 49%, while hybrids climbed 14%.Honda sales slid 15% on semiconductor shortages; EVs collapsed—Prologue down 87% and ZDX down 98%.Hyundai-Kia stayed mixed: Hyundai down 2.3% as EV demand tanked again, Kia up 2.7% on strong hybrids and core crossovers.“With more tariffed products replacing existing nontariffed inventory, prices are drifting higher, leading to slower sales… and this may last through the remainder of the year and into next year,” said Cox Automotive's Charlie Chesbrough.OpenAI is hitting the panic button—literally—declaring a “code red” to overhaul ChatGPT's quality as Google's Gemini surge and Anthropic's business traction close the gap. With massive data-center spending, user expectations rising, and now early signs of ads coming to ChatGPT, the pressure is officially on.Sam Altman told staff OpenAI is pausing other projects to focus entirely on ChatGPT's speed, reliability, personalization, and question-handling, including starting a daily call for those responsible for improving ChatGPT.Competitor pressure is mounting: Google's latest Gemini model beat OpenAI onJoin 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/

This episode is a great discussion coming from a question submitted by our producer Jake: what is the modern equivalent of the Mercedes W201 190E? == This episode of “The Carmudgeon Show” is presented by Valentine One Radar Locator: Find radar before it finds you! https://bit.ly/Valentine1_Hagerty Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-ICONS == Jason and Derek try to come up with a list of 5 Cars That Are Significant Like the W201 was.  The first question is what made that old Mercedes so special. The criteria are: Technical Innovation. Moving Into a New Market. Meaningful Change to the Industry. Democratizing Features Previously Not Part of a Segment With bonus points for: Motorsport Heritage Design Then, it becomes so much more. And possibly includes the Hyundai/Kia triplets: Hyundai Ioniq 5, Genesis GV60, and Kia EV6. The 1992 Toyota Camry. The answer lies somewhere between Tesla's Model 3, the Porsche Cayenne, the Toyota Prius, and the Lexus LS400.  === Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jill and Tom opened the show examining Jill's irrational dislike of filled donuts—even jelly filled. Tom stayed off topic for a moment, noting that Google was placing surprisingly racy ads on the Consumer Guide website, including one ad for something called, “Naughty Wedding Photos.” The hosts got serious and talked about a casual poll Tom conducted on Twitter/X to determine drivers' favorite automotive tech features. The list is very interesting. The conversation moved on to Volvo's new electric EM90 minivan, about which there is good news and bad. The Conversation turned to the new top-tier Mustang trim level: Dark Horse. Jill recently spent a week behind the wheel of the high-performance Ford, and shares her take. In the second segment, Jill and Tom are joined by CDK Global Senior Product Manager Brenda Lynch. Brenda shared the topline results of a CDK study looking into auto-dealership vulnerability to hacking and malware. Is your personal data safe at your local dealer? Listen to this conversation. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Under $48,000” quiz. Because Tom did a poor job managing the clock this episode, the hosts got in a brief chat about pay raises at U.S. Toyota, Volkswagen, and Hyundai/Kia plants, all of which are certainly steps taken to prevent unionization of their factories. Podcast Bestie, the PodcastPodcast Bestie is a best friend to podcasters trying to grow and monetize their shows....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

SEAT KICKS OFF ELECTRIFICATION JOURNEY AS IT CELEBRATES 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF MARTORELL SITE - Summary: SEAT is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its Martorell factory by kicking off an ambitious 3 billion euro investment to transform the company from combustion to electrification. By 2025, SEAT S.A. will start producing fully electric vehicles for different brands within the Volkswagen Group. To support this transformation, SEAT S.A. has designed a strategic plan that includes five main pillars and the Future: Fast Forward project to electrify factories in Spain. Furthermore, the company is investing in training for its employees and implementing data and business intelligence tools in its production facilities. Since 1993, the Martorell factory has built over 12 million vehicles and exported to over 70 countries. - Original Source: https://www.seat-mediacenter.com/smc/seat-sa/seat-sa-news/company/2023/SEAT-SA-kicks-off-electrification-journey-as-it-celebrates-30th-anniversary-of-Martorell-site.html LUCID SEES 2023 EV PRODUCTION FAR BELOW FORECASTS, SHARES DROP 11% - Summary: Lucid Group reported a major drop in orders during the fourth quarter, with their shares dropping 11% after hours. They forecast 2023 production to be 10,000 to 14,000 luxury electric vehicles, well short of analysts' expectations of 21,815. Price cuts from Tesla and Ford have made it harder for Lucid to compete for consumer wallets, with more than 28,000 orders as of Feb. 21, down 6,000 from the second quarter. Lucid reported a net loss of $472.6 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31 and their stock fell as much as 10.6% in extended trading. - Original Source: https://www.autoblog.com/2023/02/22/lucid-air-ev-production-forecast/ TESLA MODEL 3 REFRESH SPOTTED WITH NEW WHEELS - Summary: A Tesla Model 3 prototype with a refreshed design has been spotted with new wheels. Last year, rumors began that Tesla was working on a Model 3 refresh and the project is reportedly codenamed “Highland”. The new wheels feature an 18" aero design with spokes coming into the center at different angles. Tesla is expected to release more details about the update on their Investor Day next week. - Original Source: https://electrek.co/2023/02/23/tesla-model-3-refresh-spotted-with-new-wheels/ TESLA MOVES BACK TO CALIFORNIA — ITS ENGINEERING HEADQUARTERS, THAT IS - Summary: Tesla Inc. has announced that it will be establishing its "global engineering headquarters" in Palo Alto, California, with the move being seen as a sign of cooperation between the electric-vehicle maker and the EV-friendly state it once called home. The move is also seen as a thaw in the frosty relations between Tesla and California after the company moved its corporate headquarters to Texas in 2021. Elon Musk and Governor Gavin Newsom made the announcement, with Newsom praising Tesla for its "visionary spirit" and record of innovation. Newsom argued that Tesla was able to become the largest passenger EV maker in the world because of the state's EV-friendly policies and tax structure. Tesla also announced that they are hiring for engineering roles in Palo Alto. - Original Source: https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2023-02-22/tesla-to-open-engineering-headquarters-in-palo-alto-california SEAN RYAN WANTS TESLA FIRINGS INVESTIGATED - Summary: Sean Ryan, a state senator from New York, has called on the state's economic development agency to investigate Tesla's firing of more than 40 employees last week in response to a union organizing drive at its South Buffalo plant. Attorneys for the Tesla Workers United have filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, alleging that at least 25 of those fired were in retaliation for the organizing effort. Ryan has requested documents from Tesla officials in Buffalo related to the firing of the workers. - Original Source: https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/investigations/investigative-post/sean-ryan-wants-tesla-firings-investigated/71-9542b649-6011-41ca-b91b-226274a4516a ENPHASE ENERGY DEMONSTRATES BIDIRECTIONAL EV CHARGER TECHNOLOGY - Summary: Enphase Energy has successfully demonstrated a bidirectional EV charger that enables vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) functionality and allows energy generated from solar panels to be sent directly to the EV battery. The product uses Enphase's grid-forming IQ8 Microinverters and Ensemble energy management technology, and supports both the CCS and CHAdeMO charging standards. Enphase plans to bring this charger to market in 2024, as part of an all-in-one home energy system that unlocks electrification, resilience, savings and control for homeowners. - Original Source: https://chargedevs.com/newswire/enphase-energy-demonstrates-bidirectional-ev-charger-technology/ FORD STUDY SHOWS HEATED INTERIOR PANELS COULD SAVE EV RANGE - Summary: Ford conducted a study to test which system is more efficient for keeping the cabin temperature comfortable in E-Transit vans - the traditional HVAC system or heated interior panels. The study found that panels used 13% less energy and could potentially increase EV range by 5%. It was suggested that this is due to the panels retaining heat even with frequent door openings. Luxury automakers such as BMW and Mercedes have been offering heated armrests for years and it is possible that heated interior panels could become more common in the near future as a way to improve EV range. - Original Source: https://www.autoblog.com/2023/02/22/ford-heating-efficiency-study-interior-panels-hvac/?guccounter=1 EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE IS ‘INADEQUATE AND PLAGUED WITH NON-FUNCTIONING STATIONS': J.D. POWER - Summary: J.D. Power's ongoing study shows that inoperable and poorly maintained public EV charging stations are increasingly frustrating drivers. More than one in five charging attempts fail, with these failures attributed to 72% malfunctioning or out-of-service chargers. EV owners in high-density areas are particularly frustrated with the lack of available chargers. The White House has announced that Tesla will open some of its charging network to non-Tesla vehicles, but there is skepticism about how open the network will be. - Original Source: https://www.utilitydive.com/news/ev-charging-infrastructure-inadequate-non-functioning-stations/643277/ MICHIGAN WANTS $750 MILLION TO PREP SITE FOR FORD EV BATTERY PLANT ON TOP OF $1 BILLION INCENTIVES DEAL - Summary: Michigan economic development officials have asked lawmakers to provide $750 million to support Ford Motor Co.'s new $3.5 billion electric vehicle battery factory in Marshall. The funds will be used to buy land, upgrade infrastructure, and do other work, bringing the total state incentives for the project to nearly $1.8 billion. This includes $330 million for road improvements, $224.7 million to make the site "pad ready", $100 million for water and wastewater infrastructure, $75 million for land acquisition, $15 million for rail improvements, $5 million to contract for full-time permit processing and inspections staff, and $300,000 to extend a fiber optic system. - Original Source: https://www.crainsdetroit.com/economic-development/michigan-seeks-750-million-prep-ford-battery-plant-site MERCEDES ADDING LUMINAR LIDAR TO MORE VEHICLES IN MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR DEAL - Summary: Mercedes-Benz has agreed to a "multibillion-dollar" deal with Luminar to integrate lidar technology and software into their next-generation of vehicles. The deal includes Luminar building a factory in Asia to supply Mercedes with lidar sensors, and Mercedes taking a small stake in Luminar in exchange for data and services. The lidar technology will be used to support Mercedes' automated driving system, Drive Pilot, and will allow the system to operate at up to 80 miles per hour.

Hyundai-Kia has become a global powerhouse, while many Chinese manufacturers have attempted to take their share of the local market, leading to an over-saturation of production capacity. The traditionally accepted capacity utilisation of more than 80% for profitable operation has been shifted by new EV startups and the more successful Chinese manufacturers, leading to a decrease in profits. - Original Source: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/business-autoforecast-solutions/why-electric-vehicle-era-means-legacy-factories-must-close BMW STRIKES DEAL WITH RIO TINTO FOR LOW-CO2 ALUMINIUM - Summary: BMW and Rio Tinto have signed a memorandum of understanding in which BMW will source aluminium with significantly reduced CO2 emissions from Rio Tinto's hydro-powered operations in Canada starting in 2024. This approach can save around 70 percent of CO2 emissions compared to conventionally manufactured aluminium, and is intended to reduce the carbon footprint of BMW vehicles. The agreement involves the use of carbon-free anodes to eliminate process-related CO2 emissions, renewable energy sources, up to 50 percent secondary material, and blockchain technology to guarantee traceability and compliance with environmental and social standards. - Original Source: https://www.just-auto.com/news/bmw-strikes-deal-with-rio-tinto-for-low-co2-aluminium/ VALMET KICKS OFF BATTERY ASSEMBLY IN GERMANY - Summary: Valmet Automotive has started series production of battery systems in Kirchardt, Germany, and has already secured the first order for small-series production of modules, packs, and the battery management system for a sports car brand.
