Shoot us a Text.It's a busy week around the ASOTU halls as we're in Florida for MRC and then Virginia for MTC. Today we're covering how Carvana is scaling its capacity through the ADESA auction network, how Teslas topped a study on the most fatal cars on the road and the tech hiring slowdown.AnnouncementUpcoming ASOTU Edge Webinar on Friday November 22nd at 2PM: Essential Techniques for Digital Merchandising Success with our friends at CarCutter. Daniel Able and Brian Free, former VP of Digital Marketing at Autonation will be guestsMRC Nov 16-17 — CMA MTC Shoot Nov 18-20Show Notes with links:Carvana is reimagining its operations through strategic integrations of the ADESA auction network, emphasizing vertical integration and expansion.The used car retailer has converted 3 ADESA sites into multifunctional hubs in 2024, with plans for a 6th site by year-end and introduced Carli, a vehicle tracking system optimizing reconditioning and inventory management.Carvana has increased retail gross profit per vehicle to $3,497 in Q3 2024, up 30% year over year.CEO Ernie Garcia highlights the company's capacity for processing 3 million vehicles annually with minimal capital expenditure."Adding capacity without significant time or expense — that's the key to efficient growth," says Christina Keiser, Carvana EVP of Strategy.A recent iSeeCars study revealed that Tesla vehicles had the highest fatal crash rates among automakers in the U.S., raising questions about how they were driven and their design.Teslas led with 5.6 deaths per billion miles driven, double the industry average of 2.8. Kia (5.5) and Buick (4.8) followed as other high-fatality automakers.The Tesla Model Y recorded a 10.6 fatal crash rate, nearly five times the SUV average, while the Model S rate was twice the average at 5.8.Despite these figures, Teslas scored highly in IIHS and NHTSA crash tests.Analyst Karl Brauer linked the high rates to driver behavior: “The biggest contributor to occupant safety is avoiding a crash...and the biggest factor in crash avoidance is driver behavior.”The post-pandemic hiring landscape reveals a sharp slowdown in tech roles, with oversupply, automation, and changing priorities leaving many professionals facing a white-collar recession.White-collar roles like IT, engineering, and marketing fell 20%-32% from 2018-2024AI tools, like ChatGPT, have enhanced productivity, reducing the need for new hires in roles such as coding, where efficiency has skyrocketed.Sectors like healthcare bucked the trend, increasing hiring by 10% to address burnout and staffing shortages, while social services remained stable.Job openings now receive an average of 222 applications—nearly three times as many as at the end of 2021, overwhelming companies and making it harder for candidates to stand out.Job searches are taking longer, averagingHosts: 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

So far this year, electric vehicle (EV) sales have been less than expected in the United States and Europe, but growth remains strong in China. Why is EV adoption slowing in North America, and what is different in China?We examine the latest sales numbers and the factors that could be contributing to slower growth in North America. Factors include a lack of charging infrastructure, the high cost of fast charging, high depreciation, and a current shortage of plug-in hybrid options. EV competitiveness with gasoline cars, especially in the compact car segments, remains an issue.To help us with the conversation, our guest this week is Lawrence Romanosky, a Calgary-based 'car guy' with 20 years of experience as a luxury car sales manager. Lawrence was responsible for the first rollout of the Porsche Taycan all-electric car at the dealership in Calgary in 2019.

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will plead guilty in deal with US and be freed from prisonSummary: Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks who published a trove of classified US military documents in 2010 and has been on the run from the US Justice Department ever since—initially spending years living in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, before being locked up in a UK prison—has reportedly made a deal that will see him plead guilty to one of the 18 charges on which he was indicted in 2019, which will allow him to return to his home country of Australia with a time-served sentence.Context: Assange was at the center of several major scandals in the early 20-teens, most of them linked to allegations of hacking, divulging state secrets, and embarrassing the US military, because many of the classified documents that were leaked by WikiLeaks were related to US activities in Afghanistan and Iraq, and diplomatic cables from around that same time, and several of them showed human rights violations or contained transcriptions of US officials insulting their international peers; Assange has long struggled against extradition to the US, fearing he would face the death penalty if sent there, and this agreement, if it's approved by a judge, would seem to end his long-time exile, allowing him to return home to his family without any additional prison time.—The Associated PressOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication. To support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Music industry giants allege mass copyright violation by AI firmsSummary: A group of music industry entities, including Universal Music Group, Sony Music, and Warner Records, have sued Udio and Suno—a pair of AI-oriented music-generation companies—for allegedly ripping off songs owned by these labels to train their AI systems.Context: These companies are just two of many that have popped up over the past year or two, and which allow their customers to generate ostensibly original music just by describing what they want to make, and that's possible because the AI systems they use are trained on gobs of existing music, much of which is allegedly owned by these record labels, and which, according to these lawsuits, were incorporated into the training data illegally; this is similar to other lawsuits that are working their way through global court systems right now, related to books, photos, films, journalism and other sorts of human-made work that are being collected and aggregated by AI companies to train their models, and there's little in the way of existing legal precedent on this sort of thing, so it's difficult to say, at this point, how these sorts of cases will pan out in different legal jurisdictions.—Ars TechnicaChina becomes first country to retrieve rocks from the Moon's far sideSummary: The Chinese space program successfully returned lunar soil samples from the far side of the Moon, yesterday, marking yet another accomplishment for the burgeoning program, and a new first-ever achievement for humanity.Context: The Chang'e-6 mission was a follow-up to previous Chinese missions that demonstrated the country's growing capacity in space, initially allowing them to photograph and map the Moon's surface, then land on and deploy a rover on the side facing Earth, then deploying a rover on the far side of the Moon—a first for any space agency—in 2019; the agency's previous Moon mission brought about four pounds of Earth-side Moon regolith home (something that's only been previously accomplished by the US and Soviet Union), and this most recent achievement is thus far unique to China, which means it's a big deal in terms of their in-space credibility, but also for human knowledge, as those far-side lunar materials could teach us a lot about how that half differs from the side we continuously see, and about the Moon's origins.—The New York TimesUsed EVs have become less expensive in the US, on average, than their gas-consuming competition according to a recent report from iSeeCars; this price difference is being attributed to a perceptual value-drop in EVs, due to infrastructural limitations (especially a dearth of charging stations in some regions).—Business Insider$10.75 billionSum Amazon will invest on cloud and logistics infrastructure in Germany, most of it by 2026, according to a recent announcement by the company.That's in addition to a previously announced investment by Amazon in Germany, which (including the new sum) adds up to a total of just over $19 billion, this fresh investment alone creating something like 4,000 jobs in the country. —ReutersTrust Click Get full access to One Sentence News at onesentencenews.substack.com/subscribe

Musing from recent neighborhood walks. Notably: counting single occupancy vehicles (SOVs) entering and exiting the city during rush hour. Surely, some of these are coming from — and going to — similar areas of the metro. There has to be a better way. And, they're all driving increasingly-large SUVs, too. Bigger, heavier cars. More inefficient, wasted space. There is much we can glean from a basic neighborhood wander. This is one such observation; what is one of yours? We discuss: 00:00 Observations from neighborhood walks, amongst rush hour commuters. 04:27 The inefficiency of single occupancy vehicles. 11:28 The exploding popularity of larger vehicles in the U.S. (SUVs, trucks, etc.). 16:44 More on inefficiencies in American cities. 21:30 What have you noticed in your neighborhood? For context: U.S. commuter data (via CSIS). Market share by vehicle type, 1975-2021 (via Center for Sustainable Systems, University of Michigan). Cost of empty airline seats (via Forbes). Most popular vehicle type in each state (via iSeeCars).

There's nothing like a sunny May 1st. Today we talk about Ford's new AI driven Dealer training tool. We also review the fastest and slowest moving inventory, as well as the newly launched ability for Roblox users to purchase real life Walmart items in-game. Ford is introducing "Ford University," a cutting-edge AI-powered training platform aimed at enhancing dealership staff effectiveness and customer interactionsThe platform, designed with cinematic storytelling, covers Ford's history and detailed technical breakdowns of vehicle features.Ford University utilizes AI to analyze dealership employees' performance, offering personalized feedback and "missions" that simulate customer interactions.AI feedback focuses on speech nuances, use of filler words, and the accuracy of vehicle descriptions against competitors.Launched in U.S. dealerships, the system will expand content to include technical staff by year's end.Some wheels take off faster than a teenager after curfew. Others linger awkwardly like guests at a party long after the music has stopped. As the latest study from iSeeCars shows, when it comes to clearing out inventory, not all cars are created equal. See the list hereFast Movers —Hybrids lead the charge: The Toyota Highlander Hybrid is the fastest-selling new car at 14.2 days on market.Top used cars: Lexus RX 350h tops the list at 12.3 days on market, followed closely by other Lexus models.Sluggish Sellers —EVs lag behind: New electric vehicles are the slowest in the new car market, taking 70.6 days on average to sell.Used car slow sellers: Maserati and other premium brands dominate the list of slowest-selling used cars.Slow to go: All of the slowest-selling used cars are taking 90 or more days to sell, with the top-ranked Jeep Cherokee taking more than three times the 54-day average, at 169.7 days.Seemingly at the top of their game Walmart and Roblox are first-in to pioneer accessible virtual e-commerce, launching a collaborative platform where users can purchase real-life items and have them shipped to their home through an immersive Roblox experience.The partnership introduces "Walmart Discovered" on Roblox, allowing users to buy physical products from a virtual store that mirrors Walmart's online shopping experience.Users can try virtual versions of products on their avatars before purchasing, with all transactions securely handled via a Walmart API.The initiative targets users 13 and older in the U.S., featuring products designed in collaboration with Roblox creators like Sarabxlla and MD17_RBLX.The pilot, running through May, serves as a test to evaluate the potential for Roblox to facilitate physical goods sales without taking a revenue share during this period.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

It's Monday and now that the Superbowl is over, we can get back to the real game!  Today we are talking about more shifting dynamics in both the new and used EV segments. We also talk about a rather fiery incident involving a Waymo vehicle in San Francisco. At the NADA Show we heard all types of conversations around EVs as the volatility of the entire segment is real. Let's talk about the used market first.With prices heavily influenced by fluctuations in new EV pricing, the used market has seen a sharp drop of around 30%. Despite a small market share, used EVs are becoming more accessible. Franchise dealerships sold around 180,000 used EVs in 2023, less than 1% of the market.Price adjustments in new EVs and government incentives are expected to further drive down used EV prices as well as the addition of affordable new EVs later this yearThe federal tax credit, under the Inflation Reduction Act, is offering up to $4,000 for EVs at least two model years old and under $25,000. With Hertz recent decision to liquidate one third of its EV fleet, a flood of eligible Tesla's have flooded the market.Now on to the new side: Rivian has reduced prices on its R1T pickup and R1S crossover base models by $3,100, aligning with federal tax incentives and introducing a new battery option to stimulate sales.The price adjustment reflects the broader challenge of slower EV market growth, with Rivian aiming to make its vehicles more accessible amidst competitive pricing pressures.Rivian's introduction of a "standard-plus" battery option offers an additional 45 miles of range at previous prices, highlighting the company's response to consumer demand for greater value and range."Like every electric vehicle producer with a U.S. presence, Rivian has to reconcile past expectations with current market realities," notes Karl Braueran, Executive Analyst at iSeeCars.Apparently a crowd in San Francisco found a use for a Waymo, driverless EV as it was set ablaze by a crowd using fireworks in San Francisco's Chinatown during Lunar New Year celebrations.The incident involved some smashing windows, with the car eventually engulfed in flames as someone threw a firework into the stopped vehicleWaymo reported no injuries as the car was not carrying passengers at the time, and the company is collaborating with local authorities to address the situation."This was a one-off event," stated a Waymo spokesperson, amidst concerns over increasing public hostility towards driverless cars, highlighted by recent accidents involving autonomous vehicles.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 ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

According to the car shopping site iSeeCars.com, used car prices have jumped 41% over the past several years! Here are some tips to take the edge off of that sticker shock.  OUR 7 TIPS FOR BUYING A USED CAR: 1. Establish Your Budget: Determine how much you can afford, whether paying in cash or financing, ensuring the payments fit within your budget. Aim for a down payment of 10-20% and keep the loan term as short as possible, ideally three years.2. Choose the Right Make and Model: Consider your family size, cargo space needs, safety, and vehicle reliability, and be open to having two or three options.3. Research Vehicle Value: Use Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds to estimate the value of your chosen vehicles.4. Search Online Listings: Look for fairly priced vehicles on Auto Trader, Craigslist, AutoList, and Carmax, creating a list of potential options.5. Obtain Vehicle History: Contact the seller for the VIN to check the vehicle's history on CarFax or AutoCheck, ensuring a clean title, no serious accidents, and verifying the mileage.6. Get an Inspection: Have the vehicle inspected at an independent shop of your choosing, and walk away if the seller refuses.7. Make an Offer: While used car inventories are still limited, making haggling tough, ensure that the car is in good condition to last many years with proper care. On today's program, Rob also answers listener questions: I want to know how much money I need to have in the bank to retire at 65 with monthly expenses around $3000, and also inquire about tax planning for retirement.I'm 60, on disability, and heard at 65 my benefits may change; should I prepare for decreased income?I'm inquiring about reverse mortgages on behalf of my sister, whose husband passed away; can the house be saved, and can a sibling assist in this process?Having recently retired to Kentucky, my wife and I are seeking resources to educate ourselves on investing during retirement, ensuring we can continue ministry work without financial strain. RESOURCES MENTIONED:Find a Certified Kingdom Advisorssa.govmovement.com/faithfaithandinvesting.com Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Today we're talking about the crazy changes in sub-20k vehicles on the market since 2019. We also cover the reveal of the new Escalade EV as well as a savvy ecomm company working to make consumer reviews easier to digest. Consumers are realizing something Dealers have known for a while: finding a used car under $20,000 is no easy feat. A recent study highlights the dramatic changes in the used car market, with budget-friendly options dwindling.In 2019, nearly 50% of the market comprised sub-$20,000 cars; by 2023, this dropped to less than 13%.A study from iSeeCars.com revealed that popular used car models like Camrys and Civics are now up to $8,000 more expensive than in 2019.In 2019 the avg cost of a used Ram 1500 was 27,324. In 2023 it's $42,881 (+56%)A Corolla jumped almost 50% from ~14,200 to ~21,300A Honda Civic is up over 46% ~16,500 to ~24,000George Chamoun, CEO of online auction company ACV said on an earnings call yesterday that industry trends point toward an ongoing recovery in market conditions in auto sales over the next few years.Reiterating their commitment to heading toward an all-electric future, Cadillac revealed  the 2025 Escalade IQ at a launch event yesterday . This revamped version of the iconic SUV, priced at around $130,000, boasts a 450-mile range and is working to tie the brand's storied legacy with state-of-the-art tech.GM President Mark Reuss said at the event, "Escalade has defined what a full-size luxury SUV is supposed to be. From the get-go, it was the cream of the crop. It's what everybody wanted. Almost immediately, it became a status symbol in the same way the best Cadillacs were decades before.

Jill and guest cohost Nicole Wakelin, host of the Road Reflected podcast, opened the show talking about “sad snacks,” with Nicole arguing that most healthy and/or gluten-free treats aren't worth the effort. Jill shared the news that industry colleague, and one-time Road America public-relations manager, Enrique Ramirez lost his battle with cancer. Enrique worked tirelessly to raise money for cancer research.The hosts went on to discuss the resurrection of the Toyota Land Cruiser, which returns soon to U.S. dealerships after a three-year hiatus. They took note of the new vehicle's blocky design, and discussed the truck's considerable cult following. In the second segment, Jill and Nicole are joined by iSeeCars.com Executive Analyst Karl Brauer. Karl shared research conducted by iSeeCars finding that used-electric-vehicle prices had plunged in the past year. Doe Karl think this is a good time to invest in a used EV? Listen in. Jill subjected Nicole to a “basic” car-history quiz in the last segment, including a bonus question about Italian ice. Note: Tom is taking some time off this week. 

It's a Monday close to the month and we've got all the energy as we talk about Used EV Pricing, what it's going to take to safely ship EVs, as well as an elevated solution to deliver digital orders by Chick-Fil-A.EV prices continue to plunge, causing a ripple effect across the used car sector and putting a dent in dealer profits. Analysis shows a year-on-year drop in used EV prices eight times higher than other cars, with economic uncertainties, low gas prices, and general lack of interest dampening consumer enthusiasm for EVs.Analysis of 1.8 million used cars by iSeeCars showed a 3.6% year-over-year drop in June 2023 for 1 to 5 year old used cars, but used EV prices fell eight times more (29.5%) compared to the previous year. iSeeCars executive analyst Karl Brauer told Wards “Market share is very slow in states that already have a lot of the EV market share. In other words, Washington, California and Oregon are three of the highest states with EV market share and the slowest states in growing their EV market share.”He continued “There is a threshold of between 7% and 10% where it starts to become very difficult to keep growing EV sales and market share. A burning car carrier off the Dutch coast is being relocated away from shipping routes as part of a salvage operation. The ship was carrying 3,783 vehicles, including 498 BEVs…many more EVs than the originally reported 25Mini, BMW and Mercedes-Benz confirmed they have hundreds of new vehicles among those on the shipMaritime shippers are struggling to manage the fire risk associated with shipping EVs, as the lithium-ion batteries in these cars can cause hard-to-control fires. The number of ship fires increased to 209 in 2022, the highest in a decade, and a significant share of these incidents are associated with cargo containing lithium-ion batteries. Chick-fil-A is further adapting to the digital world while cutting down on their drive-thru lines spilling into traffic as the fast-food giant plans to elevate customer convenience by unveiling two new restaurant designs - a raised, four-lane drive-thru concept in Atlanta and a walk-up only store in New York City next year.The new drive-thru lanes run below the structure and can hold up to 75 cars as a "sophisticated food transport system" delivers meals to the ground level for distributionThe design includes an order-ahead lane for customers picking up mobile orders, which are prepared as the customer approaches to ensure freshness.The New York City restaurant will be a walk-up only concept, designed primarily for mobile customers, and will not feature any cash registers or drink towers.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 ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

Polestar introduced its latest electric performance SUV, the Polestar 4. The vehicle boasts a 0-100 km/h speed of 3.8 seconds and 544 hp of power. Both dual- and single-motor versions will be available, with long-range versions featuring a 102 kWh battery. The Polestar 4 is expected to launch in China in November 2023, with a global release planned for 2024. Prices start at around €60,000. Polestar plans to start production in South Carolina in 2024 for the U.S. and European markets. The company aims to sell 80,000 cars this year, focusing on delivering more Polestar 2 hatchbacks. Tesla has reduced prices for its Model 3 and Model Y electric vehicles, with the Model 3 Standard Range RWD now priced below $40,000. The price cuts come as demand has decreased and interest rates have made car purchases more difficult. A study by iSeeCars found that Tesla has the most car recalls, with Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X making up four of the top five most recalled models. Brands with the least recalls include Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, and Toyota. Following changes to California's net metering rules, Tesla announced that its Powerwall will help homeowners save up to 92% on their electricity bills. The intelligent and customizable software in Powerwall will optimize energy use for maximum savings. Gogoro partnered with Enel X to create virtual power plants (VPPs) from its battery swapping stations in Taiwan. These VPPs interact with Taiwan's power grid to supply energy when demand exceeds supply. New York State is providing $8.3 million in funding for 255 charging stations across 70 municipalities. The funding comes from the Municipal Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Grant Program. A poll revealed that 40% of U.S. adults are considering switching to electric vehicles (EVs) for their next purchase. However, concerns about high prices and a lack of charging infrastructure remain. BYD's premium brand, Yangwang, began pre-sales of its first model, the U8, at the Shanghai auto show for $160,000. The U8 has over 1,100 horsepower and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds. RAW Charging announced a deal with the National Trust to install charging stations at various heritage sites in the UK over the next three years, in an estimated £12m rollout. Scania and Northvolt have created an electric battery with a lifetime of 1.5 million kilometers, equivalent to a truck. The battery is produced at the Northvolt Ett gigafactory. Rolls-Royce launched its first all-electric car, the Shining, in China. The vehicle has a top speed of 250 km/h, a range of 585 km, and is priced at $8.

Jill and Tom opened the show talking about the Toyota bZ4X small electric crossover, and some of the negative reviews it has received. The hosts agreed that the EV is better overall than its media coverage suggests, but had some specific complaints of their own. Jill and Tom discussed the new-product reveals seen at this year's New York Auto Show, and agreed that the coming Kia EV9 three-row crossover is a potential game changer. In the second segment Jill and Tom welcomed Karl Brauer of IseeCars.com to the show. Karl shared the auto-commerce site's research regarding the vehicles currently selling for the most money over manufacturer sticker price. In segment three Jill is subjected to Tom's “Alabama, South Carolina, or Ohio” quiz, after which the hosts discussed Tom's poor clock-management skills and his review of the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V. Also, because the donut shop was closed, Jill ate cannoli. What's YOUR Best PriceEducate, entertain, & give you the leverage necessary to drive away with YOUR best price.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Smells Like HumansLike listening to funny friends discuss curious human behavior.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

The used car market has experienced dramatic changes over the past twelve months. At one point, vehicle prices soared, mainly due to the limited production of new vehicles. However, as new vehicle inventories for many leading brands have now substantially recovered, the used market has begun to react, causing a collapse in prices. According to pricing data released by iSeeCars, the Tesla Model 3 has been at the forefront of this price collapse over the past six months. iSeeCars discovered that used vehicles have seen their prices shrink by 4.7% over the past six months and contract by 8.7% over the past twelve months. Leading this trend is the Tesla Model 3, which has experienced an average used price drop of 21.5% over the past six months—the fastest of any model from any automaker in the industry. Over the past twelve months, the Model 3 ranked as the fourth most rapidly depreciating vehicle, with prices declining by 19.3%.

Welcome to the TFLtalk podcast! New cars are a crazily expensive prospect, especially with today's market conditions.

There have been many skeptics on how this could be achievedIn the July 21st call, Farley said the company has nearly everything it needs to make 600k vehicles in 2023 and 70% of what it needs to hit the 2026 goalFarly says the company will focus more on upgrading tech and motors and less on body-style upgrade similar to TeslaWhen discussing the franchise model, Farley said it puts Ford at a $2k per car disadvantage and will look to made-to-order model, and changing the way they market vehicles, pushing dealers to focus on delivery, education, and service to bridge the gapTake away: Body style…you mean like BMW. Also, dealers could do well to lean into delivery, education, and service. Is there a revenue model here?Rivian expands service centers in US and opens its first in Canada "Post-sale support is a consistent challenge for startup automakers, as it's always more demanding, resource-intense and costly than startup CEOs can conceive," said Karl Brauer, executive analyst for iSeeCars. "This is one of the reasons the franchise dealership model has worked so well for traditional automakers — it allows the automaker to design, engineer and build vehicles, while dealers focus on selling and servicing them," Brauer said.Rivian's South San Francisco service center has become more than a service location as customers now show up to see the vehicles and even test driveRivian has 21 service centers open in the US, in larger metros such as: Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas and Orlando. 6 more are planned by the end of the year as recent layoffs have not affected service operations.
