For a while, it seemed as if DOGE Elon and Tesla Elon could exist in the same space-time continuum. One of them carried out Donald Trump's ruthless cost-cutting mission while the other pitched cars that appealed most to people who were highly likely to oppose that mission, or even rage against it. Then this week came Tesla's first quarterly earnings report since Elon Musk started his work with DOGE, which showed that the company's profits were down 71 percent from the same time last year. The Atlantic staff writer Charlie Warzel talks with Patrick George, editor in chief of InsideEVs, about how Musk found himself in this predicament.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Today, we break down the Hindenburg Research report that allegedly exposes Carvana's shady business practices. Plus, we cover Tesla's first annual drop in deliveries and talk about the return of cursive logos.Show Notes with links:Hindenburg Research, known for exposing automotive startups like Nikola and Lordstown Motors, has published a scathing report on used-car retailer Carvana, alleging questionable accounting practices and underwriting concerns.Carvana allegedly sold $800M in loans to a "suspected related party" and used "accounting manipulation" to inflate profits. Carvana allegedly sold vehicles to DriveTime, a company owned by Ernie Garcia II (father of Carvana's CEO), at inflated prices to avoid recording markdowns, thereby boosting its reported revenue.A former director reportedly claimed Carvana approved 100% of loan applicants, suggesting riskier lending practices to generate higher loan volumes, and by extending loan terms through a DriveTime affiliate, Carvana may have avoided reporting higher delinquency rates, potentially hiding the true state of its loan portfolio.Carvana shares dropped 1.9% following the report, closing at $199.56.The company called the report "intentionally misleading and inaccurate," asserting a focus on long-term growth.Tesla's Q4 production and delivery numbers are in, marking a challenging end to 2024 for the EV giant, with its first annual drop in deliveries amidst intensifying competition and political distractions for CEO Elon Musk.Tesla delivered 1.78M vehicles in 2024, falling short of the 1.81M it delivered in 2023.Q4 2024 deliveries hit 495,570, falling short of analysts' expectations of over 500,000.Tesla shares dropped 7% following the report, despite a 63% rally in 2024, showing mixed investor sentiment.Tesla faced declining sales in Europe and slower growth in China while rivals like BYD and Hyundai gained market share.High-priced Cybertrucks are "piling up on used car lots," reflecting a lack of affordable EV options in 2024.“Tesla still does many things better than any other EV maker, but the challenge remains the nuts-and-bolts job of being a car company,” said Patrick George, editor in chief of InsideEVs.Lord & Taylor is turning back the clock, reviving its cursive logo as it prepares to relaunch as an online discount luxury retailer under new ownership, Regal Brands Global.The classic script logo, first introduced in 1945, replaces the modern sans-serif wordmark, which the new leadership called "the biggest betrayal of the brand."Founded in 1826, Lord & Taylor is embracing its legacy, branding itself as “the signature of American style” for its digital comeback.Many brands have moved away from cursive logos due to younger consumers' unfamiliarity with the style, but Lord & Taylor sees its heritage as a unique strength.“I understand going after young customers, but this is not a startup,” said Regal Brands Global chief strategy officer SinaHosts: 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

FOLLOW UP: BWM DOWNGRADES OUTLOOKOn the back of the news that the BMW brake recall has expanded, which we covered last week, BMW has announced that they have cut their projected outlook for 2024 due to the costs incurred by the issue of the Continental supplied part. On top of that, reports are now surfacing that they were first informed of the issue in June 2022. To read more, click this link to an AMOnline story. TOYOTA SOLID STATE BATTERY PLANS APPROVED Toyota has announced that it will begin production of solid state batteries in 2026, with mass production to begin in 2030. Have they actually cracked? If you wish to read more, click this InsideEVs article link here. MERCEDES AND SUPPLIER DEVELOPING SOLID STATE BATTERYMercedes-Benz and Factorial have announced plans that they are developing a solid state battery, but with no confirmation on a date when these might come to market or be fitted to cars. Click here to read more, via a Reuters article link. MG TO SELL SOLID STATE BATTERY CAR IN 2025Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC), the company that owns MG amongst other brands, has announced that it will reveal their solid state battery in the second quarter of 2025. They then expect to start selling cars fitted with them by the end of the same year. To learn more, click this Autocar article link here. TOYOTA REDUCES EV TARGETSToyota is the latest car maker to lower their production targets for electric cars. They are moving from 1.5 million to 1 million EVs produced, in 2026. Whilst that looks dramatic, it is not as dramatic as the jump from now. If you want to read more, click this electrive article link here. VOLVO SUBSCRIPTION BUSINESS TO ENDVolvo has announced that it will be shutting down their car subscription offering. The system covered all costs except insurance and fuel. Whilst this has not worked for Volvo, or not well enough, others in the industry still think it is a viable business model and something consumers want. To find out more, click this AMOnline article link here. FORD PATENTS COME TO LIGHTFord has submitted patents that are invasive of personal space and information to just a bit silly. We have to remember that patents often don't make it to market and we can hope some of those unearthed don't. One is to use in-cabin microphones to monitor conversations, combined with predicting the trip intention and historical data to “serve” you adverts, both visually and through the speakers. Yep, we're more than appalled at that, just like you. Click this link from The Record, to read more on this. The other one that raised an eyebrow, is for ‘Smart Vehicle Holograms' that will, apparently, do a whole host of things from project security guards and dogs patrolling around a car, to
WARNING ISSUED FOR UK NEW CAR MARKETCox Automotive, the automotive consultancy that helps those selling cars, has warned that the last quarter of 2024 will be very difficult for brands and dealers in the UK. They have gone so far as to liken the struggles they foresee as similar to those faced in the economic turmoil of the 2008 financial crash. To read more and get a better understanding of what is facing OEMs, click this Autocar article link here. CATERHAM SEPARATES EV BUSINESS Caterham has created a separate business that is focused on the EV side of things. Named Caterham Evo, it has been funded by investors as profits from the main business are not enough for the development. For more on this, click here to read the Autocar article. FORD REVISING EV PLANSFord has announced it is canning a planned three-row large electric SUV, which will now be a hybrid, will pursue a mid-sized pick-up (that's mid sized for the US, so think Ranger) and will refuse to launch an EV unless it can be profitable in the first 12 months, according to InsideEVs. This will add costs and delay product launches. Click here to read more. COUNCILS TO DECIDE ON SPEED LIMITS AND LTNSLouise Haigh, the new Transport Secretary, has stated that councils will decide if roads should be 20mph and if areas should be covered by Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTNs) schemes. However, she did say that the implementation or not, needs to involve the local communities. If you want to read more on this, click this Autocar article link here. TOYOTA US DATA STOLENToyota US has had data stolen and leaked. This data included customer, staff, financial, contracts and credentials.

FOLLOW UP: EU WARNS OVER LACK OF COOPERATION WITH PROBEThe EU has accused BYD, Geely and SAIC of not providing enough detail for their investigation. Due to this, apparent, lack of cooperation the tariffs that will be imposed are going to be higher than they might have been. The timing of this is important as the Chinese President is visiting Europe imminently. Click this article link from Politico for more. FOLLOW UP: MORE TESLA CUTSTesla is reported to be cancelling the ‘ground-breaking' “gigacasting” plans, which were to start with an underbody made in a single metal sheet. There were many in the industry who were questioning if this could be made possible and if there were consequences to doing so, outside of manufacturing. The news is on the back of a tumultuous time for the company following the announcement of cuts to the workforce. If you wish to read more, click this link to an InsideEVs article.

They have also been instructed to produce two million electric and hybrid vehicles annually, by the end of the decade. If you wish to read more, click this link from Reuters. PARTS BEING STOLEN FROM VEHICLESVolkswagen owners are the latest to be hit by selective thefts of car parts, rather than the entire car, as technology, the cost of living crisis and safety regulations all drive up costs. In this instance, the radar sensors which are incorporated into the front grille badge, have been taken. This is an ongoing issue and has hit many car companies. Click this article from The Guardian, to read more. ELECTRIC CAR MISINFORMATION CONSEQUENCESAn electric car owner, who was visiting the Liverpool hospital Alder Hey, was asked to park in one of the outside spaces as the multi-storey car park was having improvements made to the sprinkler system and during that time EVs were not allowed to use that specific area. This is all fine, but the reasoning was due to EVs ‘spontaneously combusting' which is untrue but a consequence of all the misinformation posted by the media and individuals. All those who talk about cars need to do better, need to combat untruthful info, no...

HONDA AND NISSAN SIGN MOU FOR EV DEVELOPMENTNissan and Honda have signed a memorandum of understanding, to investigate working together to speed up the development and production of competitive electric vehicles.

EU TO ALLOW 60 TONNE LORRIES ON THE ROADSThe EU, has voted to allow ‘mega-trucks', which are a lorry and trailer combination of just over 25m long and a weight up to 60 tonnes, on the roads of the continent. On top of this, the European Commission wants all countries to ensure it is legal for 17 year olds to be able to drive a lorry. Click this European Transport Safety Council article to read more on these insane ideas. POSSIBLE WIRELESS EV CHARGING BREAKTHROUGH Researchers in the US have built a wireless charging system that is 96% efficient and eight to ten times more power dense than existing wireless chargers. The charger had a five inch gap to the vehicle. This is still early days but could mean we are a step closer to the roll out of wireless charging for all. If you wish to learn more, click this InsideEVs article link here. JAGUAR CUTS OFF ACCESS TO SOME SMART CHARGINGJaguar has informed owners of the I-Pace that some chargers will no longer have access to smart charging, thus the charging times cannot be controlled. This does not effect all home chargers though. JLR stated that this was due to security and privacy issues. Click this Autocar article link here to learn more. FISKER AT RISKFisker, the US based EV maker, announced that it is in financial trouble, serious enough to make it public that it may have to go into receivership. The company had previously stated it was in trouble, but this announcement still came as a shock to many. If you wish to learn more, click this electrive article link here. Late yesterday, news came out that the company has paused production, for six weeks, as it gains $150 million extra investment from an exisiting investor.

While many major car manufacturers rushed headlong into the electric vehicle (EV) market to mixed results, the Japanese automaker, Toyota, adopted a more conservative approach. A focus on hybrids over full electric vehicles, saw them weather what other companies are increasingly recognizing as a tumultuous entry into the EV sector. Following the trepidation of the previous CEO, Akio Toyoda, who eloquently conveyed that transition to EVs would take 'longer than media anticipates,' the company is now poised to reap the financial benefits. Striking a careful balance between innovation and consumer acceptance, Toyota's strategy seems to be paying off, despite the contradictory environmental narratives. Toyota has reported impressive statistics for 2023, riding a wave of strong hybrid vehicle sales. This sustained strategy is projected to yield over $30 billion in net profits for the fiscal year concluding in March. Over time, Toyota's resolve has been bolstered by the struggles of its competitors, some of whom are dealing with substantial losses on their EV product lines. This suggests that Toyota's conservative approach may be more in line with market realities than the strategies adopted by other manufacturers. The company has exhibited a remarkable 6.6% uptick in sales for 2023, compared to the previous year. According to data from InsideEVs, this success can be attributed in part to its hybrid models. In the U.S., Toyota's sales include nearly 15,000 pure EVs, 40,000 plug-in hybrids, and over 600,000 non-rechargeable hybrids. These figures testify to the consumer acceptance of Toyota's balanced portfolio of products. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

FOLLOW UP: PARIS VOTES TO CHARGE EXTRA FOR HEAVY CARSJust under six percent of eligible Parisians voted on charging extra for non resident parking permitted heavier vehicles, with 54.6% voting for this. Therefore, internal combustion engined cars (ICE) weighing over 1.6 tonnes and electric vehicles weighing over 2 tonnes, will be charged extra.

JANUARY 2024 NEW CAR REGISTRATION FIGURESSMMT has released the January 2024 new car registration figures. They are up on 2023, but still down on the Before Times. Fleet is doing a lot of the heavy lifting, with Private down once again.

RENAULT CANCELS IPO FOR EV DIVISION AMPERERenault has confirmed that they will not separate their electric vehicle division, Ampere, and list it on the stock exchange. The reasoning is that the market is “sluggish”, which has also been compounded with a slow down in EV uptake across Europe at the end of the year. The company is adamant that they are cash rich and their ambitions are not dependent on an IPO. If you wish to learn more, click this article link from Reuters here.
