How long does an EV battery really last? Dave's 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E has now surpassed an incredible 350,000 miles, making it one of the highest-mileage Mustang Mach-Es on the road today. In this episode of Turn Down for Watt, we revisit Dave to discuss EV battery degradation, battery health, charging habits, maintenance costs, reliability, and long-term electric vehicle ownership after hundreds of thousands of miles.When Dave first joined the show, his 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium had already surpassed 250,000 miles, challenging everything many people thought they knew about EV battery life, electric vehicle reliability, and long-term ownership costs. Now, with another 100,000 miles added to the odometer, we wanted to check back in and see what has changed—and what hasn't.Can a modern EV really go 350,000 miles on its original battery? How much range has been lost? What maintenance and repairs have been required? What has ownership actually cost compared to a gas vehicle? And what lessons can EV owners, fleet operators, and EV skeptics learn from one of the highest-mileage electric vehicles on the road today?Connect with Dave:

When I first heard about Rebbetzin Libbi Kakon, I thought the story would be about a remarkable couple who, despite both being deaf, built a yeshiva for deaf and hearing-impaired students. Then I heard the rest of the story. What I discovered was a woman who refused to let life's challenges define her. Together with her husband, Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Kakon, she helped build a unique yeshiva serving deaf students, raised a family, navigated extraordinary challenges, and continued finding ways to help others.To learn more about Yeshivat Nefesh Dovid or support their work:→ https://www.nefeshdovid.com/✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► Colel Chabad: Help Israel's NeediestFor over 200 years, Colel Chabad has helped people through some of life's hardest moments.

Why Isn't Everyone Quantum Leaping? with James Wedmore James Wedmore crossed ten million in a single year. Not because he found a better strategy. Because he finally looked his deepest fear in the face. In this episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with James Wedmore, business strategist, digital entrepreneur, and the man behind Business by Design, one of the most respected online business programs in the world. But underneath the frameworks and the launch systems lives something most people never see coming: a full-blown wizard who works with a Toltec shaman, engineers shamanic deaths as a practice, and has come to believe that quantum leaps in business and the dissolution of identity are not separate events. They are two sides of the same coin. James went from broke, addicted to Adderall, and living in his parents' house working 14-hour days with nothing to show for it, to crossing two million, then quantum leaping to ten million in a single year. His turning point wasn't a new strategy. It was a lawsuit, a panic attack on his knees in Sedona, and the moment he finally faced the fear he had been quietly running from for years. Emily and James trace the full arc, from the discipline of no, to controlled folly, to shamanic death, to the moment you realize there is nowhere to get to and everything changes. In this episode, they explore: – What a quantum leap actually is and why it always defies logic and linear time – The invisible fear quietly pumping the brakes on your results – Shamanic death: what it is, how to recognize it, and why it precedes every quantum leap – Controlled folly: the Toltec principle of caring deeply while remaining completely unattached – Why more offers doesn't make you more money, it just makes you more busy – The discipline of no and how to build containers for your cutting edge work – Why your default future is the most important thing to look at first – How James went from throwing Abraham Hicks in the trash to living down the street from his shaman in Sedona – Why the quantum leap from two to ten million came the moment he stopped letting fear drive – Lucid dreaming, the dream realm, and what his shaman is doing while James sleeps Key Moments: 00:00 — Life force, wizards, and why James Trojan horses people with business 03:30 — From broke and addicted to Adderall to quantum leaping to $10M 08:00 — How the feminine opened James to everything 14:00 — Controlled folly: the hardest Toltec teaching James is still learning 22:00 — What a quantum leap actually is 28:00 — The lawsuit, the panic attack, and the moment everything changed 38:00 — Why conquering fear was the only strategy that worked 45:00 — The discipline of no and building layered containers 52:00 — Shamanic death explained and how to prepare for one 01:02:00 — There is nowhere to get to. Now what? 01:10:00 — Lucid dreaming and working with the shaman in the dream realm 01:18:00 — Cover yourself in Vaseline: the shaman's message for right now About James Wedmore James Wedmore is a business strategist, digital entrepreneur, and founder of Business by Design, one of the most respected online business programs in the world. After 20 years of building and scaling online businesses, James now helps entrepreneurs stop trading time for money and start building businesses that work without them. His work bridges practical systems with deep inner transformation. Podcast: Mind Your Business Podcast Website: https://jameswedmore.com

Lucid dreaming, dream art, dream characters, and consciousness all come together in this fascinating conversation with Dave Green, London-based artist and author of Doodles in the Dark: An Artist's Guide to Lucid Dreaming. In this episode of The Dream Journal, host Katherine Bell talks with Dave about how he creates drawings inside lucid dreams, recreates them after waking, and even hands dream pen and paper to dream characters to see what they will draw. They also explore dream meditation, dream yoga, dream portraits, the history of dream art, and the big question of whether dream characters have a consciousness of their own. If you're interested in lucid dreaming techniques, dream creativity, dreamwork, consciousness studies, dream characters, meditation in dreams, or the connection between art and the unconscious, this episode offers a rich mix of personal experience, philosophy, and dream research. BIO: Dave Green is a London based artist who creates simple line drawings in his lucid dreams which he re-creates upon waking up.

Greetings in love, light, and wisdom as one.  For the month of June we have a channeling session from the members of Ashtar Command where we look at potentials to be explored with the tools brought up in the session. Tia begins things with a funny exchange on the topic of tea and how on her home planet they had something that tasted better than what I called tea. We next get into something that changed my astral travel ability was being on my back to get out of my body. Using it to stay awake to bring on lucid dreaming helped with that effort. The next topic would become the theme for the night which was light, sound devices and how they work to change a persons frequency. We would take on the topic next with our second speaker who was Kiri. With her, we look at the effects on the brain of computers in the long exposure times that we were going through. They explained that up on the base they had a solution that we would catch up with later. Then she gives us a synopsis of the cats in our house down here and house somewhere negative and some could astral project. Then we finally get to the LS devices and how using biofeedback would make the experiments go even better if there was that interchange of information. The last topic we discuss is the gene pool of our little family on the base and how healthy it was. Thanks to their technology, even first cousins who have babies with no problems. That brings on Omal to finish up the first side and he assures us that the electrical fields generated by the cords all around us do not have a harmful effect on our bodies. We next go over a group that we were studying and he points out that knowledge is more precious than any gym on our planet. They were trying to generate money from their sharing of knowledge. We move on to a friend of ours coming for the summer from Sedona named Linda who he had last spoken to when he was channeling through someone name Roger. She had joined a group I was a part of and we would hear her on some of our later archives. We then look at the LS devices and their potential as the side runs out. From there we go on to the various skills and how the devices would help.   For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 05/31/94. Side one includes:   1.)(0:00)- Tia and I look at a lazy way to astral project that requires little prep work and a light, sound device to use in conjunction with the new process. we finish with a question on Heinlein and a book of his.   2.)(8:13)-  Kiri gives a breakdown of the various cats in the house and their attributes such astral travel. We follow that up with her technical take on the light, sound devices and a question about the gene pool. 3.)(20:50)- The first half of Omal's time is used to assure us that the electrical fields we are exposed to are not causing irreparable harm. He also gives his take on the LS device and how it will stimulate R.E.M..

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    On-side to we returned to the same subject and we look at them for possibly helping the shielding and PK. It's all about lucid visualization that's available when we can tap into the deeper parts of the brain. This would produce a dreamlike affect that would allow us to stay away while dreaming. Before he leaves we get into a fund thing about Star Trek and Dr. McCoy's eyebrow. Karra uses up the rest of the side to go over some of the things I was doing for my health and hoping for instant results. She advised slowing down and looking at the scenery. The topic then is about dreams and one that I had she happened to be monitoring. She then helped me figure out who it was I was trying to teach. You think talk about free energy machines and the magnets that would be used to create such a device. What we were looking at is solar options to run the car without gas. We next talk about the LS devices and the potential for healing. What we work on is being able to see the issue in our mind to then re-create it later on in the physical sense. Therefore we are again going over lucid visualization to make the healing happen. We move on from there to Mark's dream of healing someone else. We had been doing some programming of Mark's dreams and this is the first result we were hearing other. We have a shorter night and so we cut it short at that point with Tia coming on at just the last moment. Another excellent entry into the Ashtar Command archives. For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 05/31/94. Side two includes:   1.)(0:00)- Omal starts with a discussion on lucid dreams and shields and then moves on to the other skills such as PK. From there we work on expanding the energy used after seeing it done with the mind. 2.)(9:38)- Karra and I compare noes on a dream I had that she was monitoring. We next revisit the topic of generating free energy before moving on the how the LS device could be used for lucid visualization.

Originally Aired: 05/29/26 – We review Spider-Noir Season 1. We talk with writer Chip Zdarsky of Captain America and also with directors Deanna Milligan and Ramsey Fendall of Lucid. The post Geek Hard: Episode 833 – Captain Noir has Lucid Dreams appeared first on Geek Hard.

Lucid dreaming is often presented as a modern discovery, but traditions across the world have explored conscious dreaming for centuries. In this episode, I examine what neuroscience has actually shown about lucid dreams, how Tibetan dream yoga reframes the practice, and why magical and contemplative traditions may have understood aspects of the dreaming mind long before the sleep laboratory could measure them.We will look at lucid REM sleep, dream induction methods, dream yoga, magical dream work, and the important limits of reducing these practices to brain activity alone.CONNECT & SUPPORT

Static Temptations – Lucid Machines feels like a transmission picked up between sleep and circuitry, where human memory starts to hum like a server farm dreaming in slow motion. The album lives in a world where thoughts don't stay inside the mind anymore. They leak outward as sound, spinning into analog static and crystalline digital pulses. Vocals drift like half-remembered conversations you swear you had in a room that doesn't exist anymore, while the instrumentation constantly flickers between warmth and machine logic. Guitars feel slightly detuned on purpose, like they've been left out in an electromagnetic storm. Synth layers rise and collapse in shimmering cycles, sometimes behaving like rhythm, sometimes like weather. Drums are tight but never fully obedient, as if the tempo is being negotiated rather than commanded. Beneath it all, there's a faint mechanical heartbeat, not threatening, just aware. Lyrically and sonically, Lucid Machines explores the moment consciousness becomes self-aware inside repetition. Dreams trying to debug themselves. Love messages encoded in corrupted files. Identity refracted through interfaces that almost understand you but never fully resolve. By the time the final track fades, nothing feels fully “awake” or fully “asleep” anymore. Just somewhere in between, where static becomes language and machines start to feel uncomfortably close to remembering.

Ross Webb is joined by four operators who give you the four corners of the jigsaw — the foundations that separate a strategic partner from a glorified admin.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat is Professor of History at New York University. She writes about fascism, authoritarianism, and propaganda. She is the recipient of Guggenheim and other fellowships; an advisor to Protect Democracy; an MSNBC opinion columnist and television commentator; and publishes Lucid, a newsletter on threats to democracy. Her latest book, Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present, looks at how illiberal leaders use propaganda, corruption, violence, and machismo - and how they can be defeated. Ruth's back with us again for a discussion on Trump's second-term autocratic overreach, including his latest brazen act of corruption, the $1.776-billion 'Anti-Weaponization' slush-fund and his IRS immunity 'settlement'. So is Ruth as optimistic as she was back in December?

In this episode, Peter breaks down one of the first real decisions Cardano developers face when building a dApp, choosing between Mesh SDK and Evolution SDK. Both libraries cover the off-chain essentials like transaction building, wallet integration, provider support, smart contract interoperability, and governance-era transactions, but they make different trade-offs depending on the kind of app you want to ship.The episode walks through practical decision points instead of abstract theory. Peter explains when Mesh makes more sense for React-based apps, production-ready smart contract templates, Hydra support, and AI-assisted development workflows, and where Evolution can be the better fit for Cloudflare Workers, edge runtimes, or teams that prefer stronger type safety and functional programming patterns. He also shows live examples from his own Mesh-based projects, including a bounty platform, a Cardano-wide leaderboard, and a governance dashboard, to make the comparison concrete.Key Takeaways:- Mesh SDK and Evolution SDK are both TypeScript-first Cardano off-chain libraries that support transaction building, wallet integration, multi-provider workflows, and governance-era transactions.- Mesh is generally the stronger choice for React-based dApps, teams that want ready-made smart contract templates, Hydra integrations, and developers leaning on AI coding tools.- Evolution SDK is often the better fit for Cloudflare Workers, edge deployments, WASM-hostile runtimes, and codebases that prioritise functional programming and strict type safety.- Teams migrating from Lucid or Lucid Evolution have a more natural upgrade path into Evolution SDK because it is the direct successor.- For NFT marketplace-style builds, Mesh offers practical advantages through its existing contract templates and developer tooling.- Mesh includes features such as social sign-in and custody wallet creation that can reduce onboarding friction for mainstream users entering a Cardano application.- The best SDK choice depends less on ideology and more on deployment target, UI framework, developer workflow, and how much prebuilt infrastructure a team wants.Links & References:- Mesh SDK vs Evolution SDK: Which off-chain library? - Learn Cardano: https://learncardano.io/comparison/mesh-vs-evolution-sdk/Website: https://learncardano.ioX/Twitter: https://x.com/LearnCardanoDisclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only.

[REDIFFUSION] Bienvenue dans les Fabuleux Destins. Cette semaine, en quatre épisodes, nous allons vous raconter l'histoire d'une étrange créature qui a terrifié la France du 18ème siècle. Aussi cruel qu'insaisissable, ce monstre – qu'on croyait envoyé sur terre par le diable en personne – a laissé derrière lui de nombreux cadavres. Son nom : la Bête du Gévaudan. De ses premières victimes aux grandes chasses organisées pour la tuer, découvrez son mystérieux destin.  Le mystère enfin élucidé ? Pendant 150 ans, l'affaire de la Bête du Gévaudan reste célèbre en France et marque durablement le grand public. Mais c'est surtout à partir du 20ème siècle que des théories plus poussées commencent à être élaborées sur la nature du monstre. En 1911, le docteur Paul Puech est le premier à évoquer l'implication d'un tueur humain. Il fait l'hypothèse qu'un « fou sadique », couvert d'une peau de bête, aurait assassiné femmes et enfants en toute impunité pendant 3 ans. Selon lui, l'intelligence supérieure de la créature et les cibles choisies sont des preuves évidentes. Cette idée a ensuite été reprise par de nombreux romanciers, et on a même accusé le comte de Morangiès, un seigneur local de l'époque, d'être le coupable. Militaire déchu, noble frustré et impopulaire dans la région, personnage charmant et raffiné en apparence cachant au fond de lui une violence inouïe…  Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture : Elie Olivennes  Voix : Andréa Brusque Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Waymo's newly announced expansion ahead of the World Cup, the suddenly accelerating deterioration of the Uber/Waymo relationship, and the partnerships that actually matter for Uber's autonomous future.As Waymo expanded their U.S. service area by 1,400 square miles across 11 cities, Uber continued to amplify both their direct and indirect attacks against Waymo in the media and in a self-published report about deploying autonomous vehicles.Even as the deterioration of the relationship spreads into the news, Walt notes that the divorce narrative is already largely priced into Uber's stock, but the more interesting question is what happens next with Uber's remaining partners.Nuro recently opened an engineering and partnerships office in Munich, home to BMW, with Lucid notably absent from the press release and personally-owned autonomous vehicles mentioned directly. On the WeRide earnings call, the company outlined European expansion plans including Slovakia and made the case for a unified Level 2 to Level 4 platform.Wrapping up the conversation, Grayson and Walt discussed Volvo Autonomous Solutions' new Dallas-to-Houston lane and what the true definition of autonomous and what defines supervised.Episode Chapters00:00 Waymo's World Cup Expansion03:59 Waymo's Unforced Error05:08 The Waymo/Uber Divorce Narrative Goes Mainstream14:51 Nuro Opens Munich Office20:26 WeRide Eyes a Unified L2-to-L4 Platform22:47 Volvo Autonomous Solutions Dallas-to-Houston Lane23:49 What Defines Driverless31:39 Foreign Autonomy Desk32:04 Next Week--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

Hello! And welcome to The Dana Gould Hour Podcast. Fasten your enthusiasm harness, we are blasting off, yet again.   This episode is a little late arriving, my apologies. In addition to my going on staff at a new TV show, which has forced me to rearrange my schedule a bit, we also had the taping of the Dr. Z live show at the Netflix Is A Joke Festival and the launching of the Hanging With Dr. Z season 4 Indiegogo campaign.   Then we had some technical difficulties that delayed us a bit as we cleaned up some recordings and, long story short, we're late. BUT, we're here now and the next month's episode is right on schedule so we should be all caught up in no time.   We're going to start this month's episode with a discussion of Hel Mel. What is Hel Mel you ask? Well, it's short for the intersection of Heliotrope and Melrose Ave in Los Angeles, which is an arty little neighborhood over by LA City College. And it's also the name of an art gallery and art collective, located there, that was formed by actor Val Kilmer. We're going to talk to Steven Meyer, who was a longtime friend of Kilmer who ran the gallery with him. Steven has had a wide-ranging career stretching from the New York theater and music scene stretching to well, the LA art scene. Excellent conversation with Steven Meyer.   Also, Julian David Stone is here. Julian grew up in the Bay Area where he started his career as a rock 'n' roll photographer, and he's here to talk about his book of photography, No Cameras Allowed: My Career As An Outlaw Rock N Roll Photographer. In addition, He has a new novel out called It's Alive, which is a novel, but based in the very true story of the tumult, chaos and corporate fuckery that went on behind the scenes at the Universal Studios in 1930, the week before the studio began filming Frankenstein. One of the studio's all-time hits, a film with a culture impact that we still feel today, and the week before it started filming, the whole thing almost fell apart. If you like horror movies, or just movies, it's must read. Especially when you realize that what happened at Universal during this short period in 1930, is STILL going on today. Bananas.   True Tales From Weirdsville tells you the sordid tale of a man who came to be known as The Emperor Of Night, The Marquis d'Hervey De Saint Denys, who, in the 1800's discovered for lack of a better term, the concept of lucid dreaming. Dreams when you know you know you're dreaming. This concept moved through the history and is still with us today. The conceit that you can actually write and direct your dreams. It's TRUE. Lucid dreaming. It's real. I think. Or is it?   As for me, on Saturday May 16th I'll be at the Historic Everett Theater in Everett Washington, just up the road from Seattle.On Saturday June 27th I'll be in Pittsburgh, PA as part of the DVE Comedy Festival and fans of Hanging with Dr Z are invited to be a part of our season 4 Indiegogo campaign. For information on all this stuff, please visit the live appearances page at DanaGould.com or, my Facebook or Instagram pages.   You can follow Dr Z on Instagram at HangingWithDrZ.com in case you didn't know.   Lastly, thank God, this program is brought to by you.

Did Kirsten enjoy her Lucid Gravity? What's the Citroen CX of EVs? How's Waymo Ops doing? Do the CA AV reporting rules make sense? Did Alex enjoy his friend's use of FSD on a HW 2.5 Model S? Ed & Alex keep it feisty, and Kirsten tries to keep them under control.

This episode dives into the details of Lucid Group's first quarter 2026 earnings call, featuring the debut of incoming CEO Silvio Napoli. Napoli outlines his core priorities for the company: a relentless focus on the customer, enhanced accountability, and strict cost and capital discipline. A major highlight of the call is the expansion of Lucid's partnership with Uber, alongside a review of the company's strengthened liquidity position following new capital raises. Listeners will also get the latest updates on the mid-size platform, which remains on track for a 2027 production ramp with a target price point below $50,000. Additionally, the company provides progress reports on its autonomy program with Uber and Nuro, aiming for a commercial launch by the end of the year. Despite acknowledging execution risks, Lucid maintains that its primary growth targets and international expansions remain on schedule.

Executive VP Stella Li has directed engineers to keep European variants under 4.3 metres, with separate B- and C-segment standards, as BYD stops adapting China-market models and instead builds vehicles tailored to dense European cities.MAZDA DELAYS DEDICATED EV TO 2029Mazda has pushed back its first dedicated EV platform by two years to 2029 and cut EV investment by nearly half, shifting resources toward hybrids and China-sourced electrified products. Before 2029, Mazda will sell China-built EVs — effectively rebadged Changan Automobile models — in Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia.AUTOMAKERS SEEK NEW EU CO2 CONCESSIONSVolkswagen Group, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz met EU officials in Brussels on 13 May to press for further flexibility on the bloc's 2035 emissions targets, despite having already won concessions just months ago. Germany's VDA lobby warned that the country's auto sector could shed up to 125,000 additional jobs by 2035 without meaningful improvement in competitiveness.OPEL PREVIEWS 207 KW CORSA GSEOpel has revealed the all-electric Corsa GSE, which it claims will be the fastest-accelerating production Opel ever built, with a 0–100 km/h time of 5.5 seconds from a front-mounted 207 kW permanent magnet motor. The car rides on Stellantis' e-CMP platform and features a Torsen limited-slip differential, Alcon four-piston brakes, lowered sports suspension, and uprated battery thermal management.AUSTRALIA DELAYS FEDERAL EV ROAD CHARGEAustralia's federal government has paused its EV road user charge, opting to first develop a coordinated policy with state and territory governments following the High Court's 2023 ruling that struck down Victoria's version. The budget also restructures EV fringe benefits tax support, narrowing the full FBT exemption from April 2027 to EVs priced at A$75,000 or below on novated leases, before shifting to a 25% FBT reduction for all EVs under the luxury car tax threshold from April 2029.GERMAN OPERATORS BACK ELECTRIC TRUCKSA German study by the Institute for Applied Ecology found that 93% of transport companies already running electric trucks are satisfied or very satisfied, citing high reliability, driving comfort, and low operating costs. The same share expect electric trucks to become the standard fleet vehicle by 2030, though operators flagged high upfront costs and depot grid connection complexity as the main barriers.AI CHARGING METHOD CUTS EV BATTERY WEARResearchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed an AI-driven fast-charging method using reinforcement learning that extends EV battery life by 23% without adding to charge times. The system adapts charging current to each battery's state of health and electrochemistry in real time, reducing internal wear and the risk of lithium plating compared to current one-size-fits-all charging protocols.FIRST BUS TESTS DEPOTS AS GRID ASSETSFirst Bus has launched a trial using its electric bus depot infrastructure to support the National Grid, intelligently scheduling charging to absorb surplus Scottish wind power that would otherwise be curtailed. The UK's largest electric bus operator, with over 1,400 zero-emission vehicles, argues the scheme can cut wasted renewable energy, support grid stability, and improve the economics of fleet electrification.LUCID PUTS UK LAUNCH BACK TO 2028Lucid has delayed its UK market entry to early 2028 — the third such postponement — with European President Lawrence Hamilton saying the firm must sequence its expansion carefully after entering seven or eight more continental European markets in 2026 first. Lucid will skip bringing the current Air and Gravity models to the UK, instead launching only on its new mid-size 800-volt platform with the Cosmos coupé-crossover and Earth SUV variants, built on the Atlas drive unit that cuts manufacturing costs by 37%.UK E-VAN RULES EASE FROM 2026From June 2026, the UK government will remove regulatory barriers for electric vans weighing between 3.5 and 4.25 tonnes, aligning them with equivalent diesel and petrol vehicles under the Class 7 MOT framework with a first MOT due after three years rather than one. Driver hours rules will also change, removing mandatory tachograph use and base-distance restrictions, with operators set to save up to 60% on MOT costs under the new regime.UK USED EV SALES HIT Q1 RECORDUK used EV sales hit a record 86,943 units in Q1 2026, up 32% year on year, with around one in 23 used car buyers choosing an EV compared to one in 30 in the same period last year. The surge is being driven by growing used EV supply from strong prior new car sales, lower prices, and improving buyer confidence in battery longevity.

Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions sits in for Tom this week. Jill and Sam open this episode of the podcast touching on Sam's recent involvement with the 2026 Greenbrier Concours d'Elegance, a classic car show held in West Virginia each spring. The conversation turns to car news, with the hosts touching on Chinese car makers setting up shop in Canada, Tesla producing its last Model S sedan, and Honda deferring much needed updates of key models--including the Odyssey minivan. Listen in for details. Still in the first segment, Jill discusses her participation in the first Trinitē Road Rally, and her time behind the wheel of the $250,000 Lucid Air Sapphire electric sedan. In the second segment, Jill and Sam are joined by XPEL Product Manager James Melfi. XPEL produces, among other things, car-finish Paint Protection Film (PPF). James shares information related to the value, cost, installation, and longevity of XPEL's PPF products. In the last segment Jill shares sad news regarding the show's long-time producer Randy. In his honor Jill subjects Sam to a Pontiac Fiero quiz. Sam wraps up the show sharing some news about the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The future of driving just took another step away from… driving. BMW is bringing brake-by-wire to production—ditching traditional hydraulic systems in favor of fully electronic control. It's a big leap forward in technology, but also raises a bigger question: are we slowly being disconnected from the driving experience altogether? EV drivers already rely heavily on regen braking—so does this even matter anymore, or is this the tipping point? Meanwhile, Lucid just dropped a $1B loss, proving once again that building high-end EVs isn't for the faint of heart (or wallet). Backed by Saudi funding, they're not going anywhere—but can the next wave, like the Rivian R2, finally deliver the EV breakthrough the market actually needs? On a more hopeful note, Nissan might be back. A new Skyline is on the horizon, and somehow Infiniti could be the one bringing back a proper manual sports sedan. Is this the comeback enthusiasts have been waiting for? And speaking of performance—how fast is fast enough? Dan shares his run at 193 mph in a GT-R, still chasing that elusive 200 mph club.

#418 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with Robert about lucid dreaming, how it differs from out-of-body experiences, and why dreams matter given how much time people spend dreaming over a lifetime. Robert shared his first spontaneous lucid dream, how he learned to induce lucid dreams using suggestion and hand-focused intention, and how to stabilize lucidity by staying calm and reaffirming awareness. They discussed the potential of lucid dreaming for personal growth, including how beliefs and expectations shape dream outcomes and can be applied to waking life through "lucid living," with Robert describing reduced hay fever symptoms through mindful thought changes.  Robert and Guy explored reports of physical and emotional healing in lucid dreams, including examples involving GERD, plantar warts, menstrual bleeding, and trauma-related nightmares. Robert described experiences suggesting an "inner self" behind dreams, occasional precognitive elements, communication with his cat, and techniques for navigating dream environments, and he recommended his books and websites for learning more. About Robert: Robert Waggoner wrote the acclaimed book, Lucid Dreaming – Gateway to the Inner Self (now in its sixteenth printing), and co-authored Lucid Dreaming Plain and Simple with Caroline McCready.

Spike and Jonny cover the Long Beach Grand Prix, a Ferrari restomod that's trying not to get sued, and a Lucid sedan that runs a 9.2-second quarter mile. Also: the guys bought an insanely rare '71 Porsche 911 T Targa and a billionaire had Aston Martin build him a one-off track car faster than an F1 car. ______________________________________________

Martha Gill and Janelle Soukup join The Ride Companion for a powerful conversation about the progression of women's mountain biking, freeride, racing, mentorship and what it takes to build a career in the sport. During this episode Martha Gill, the 2024 Queen of Crankworx and long time Marin Bikes athlete, shares her journey from cross-country racing and Olympic hopeful to enduro, Crankworx, Lucid and helping support the next generation of riders. Janelle Soukup talks through her rapid rise into freeride mountain biking, from selling her ATV to buy her first mountain bike, discovering events like Hannah Bergemann's Hangtime, earning a place at Natural Selection, becoming Whip-Off World Champion and receiving the invite to Red Bull Rampage.

What if the Sun is influencing your dreams? In this episode of The Dream Journal, host Katherine Bell speaks with Dr. Annani Kelley, researcher, poet, and founder of heliopsychology, about her groundbreaking work on space weather, solar flares, geomagnetic activity, and human consciousness. Drawing on more than 70 years of heliobiology research and her own PhD dissertation, Dr. Kelley explores how solar flares, sunspots, and geomagnetic storms correlate with changes in sleep quality, nightmares, aggressive dreams, dream bizarreness, and extraordinary dream states—including lucid, psychic, and precognitive dreams. The conversation moves beyond sleep into big‑picture questions: • How space weather affects human behavior, creativity, and social systems • Why solar maximum periods are linked with volatility and aggression • The idea that consciousness may be electromagnetic, with the brain acting as a receiver rather than the source • Historical events like the Carrington Event and how solar storms affect Earth • The role dreams may play in the evolution of consciousness Dr. Kelley also shares poetry from her book Somnia De Fine Mundi (Dreams of the End of the World)—dream‑inspired work that reflects apocalyptic imagery, transformation, and cosmic awareness. This episode blends science, psychology, dreams, poetry, and philosophy, offering a thought‑provoking look at humanity's intimate relationship with the Sun. Chapter Headings Space Weather and the Science of Heliopsychology Solar Flares, Sunspots, and Geomagnetic Activity Explained How the Sun Influences Sleep Quality and Dreaming Nightmares, Aggressive Dreams, and Dream Bizarreness Psychic, Lucid, and Extraordinary Dream States Solar Cycles, Human Behavior, and World Events Consciousness as an Electromagnetic Phenomenon The Brain as Receiver: Rethinking Where Consciousness Comes From The Carrington Event and Extreme Solar Storms Dreams of the End of the World: Poetry, Apocalypse, and Meaning BIO: Dr. Annani Kelley recently received her PhD from Sofia University and is the founder of Heliopsychology. Her dissertation focused on the influence of space weather on sleep and dream states. She has recently published a poetry book called “Somnia de Fine Mundi” which translates to Dreams of the End of the World.

Despite reporting a quarterly profit decline on 24 April due to higher European sales incentives, Kia says its solid profit base can sustain the strategy, with the upcoming EV2 small SUV set to challenge the BYD Dolphin Surf directly.BYD DENZA Z TAKES AIM AT TESLABYD unveiled the production Denza Z at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show — an all-electric supercar with around 1,000 hp, a sub-two-second 0–60 mph claim, and three variants including a coupe and convertible. Estimated at around $65,000 in China, it targets the Tesla Roadster 2 and is prioritised for European sales, with a Goodwood Festival of Speed debut planned and full technical details due in July 2026.OIL SHOCK COULD SPEED UK EV UPTAKERising oil prices following US and Israeli strikes on Iran and closure of the Strait of Hormuz are shifting the economic case toward EVs, accelerating a consumer tipping point already supported by better batteries. A large EV fleet could transform UK grid stability through vehicle-to-grid systems, with Ofgem estimating that half of projected EVs on V2G by 2030 could provide 16GW of flexible capacity — five times the projected output of Hinkley Point C.PHEVS COST MORE TO BUY AND RUNECIU data shows eight of the UK's 10 best-selling PHEVs carry a higher sticker price than comparable EVs, with an average gap of £4,150 or 10%, even as the average new EV has fallen below the average new petrol car for the first time. Real-world PHEV fuel costs run 490% above official figures, pushing annual fuelling costs to around £1,030 — £620 more per year than an equivalent EV — making total cost of ownership over £1,000 per year higher than going fully electric.OMODA & JAECOO HITS ONE MILLION SALESOmoda & Jaecoo reached one million cumulative global sales in April 2026, just three years after its international debut, recording monthly sales of over 60,000 units in March and operating across 69 markets with 1,364 dealers. Europe drove 41.5% of total global sales, with a 246% year-on-year rise in March, and the brand ranked sixth in the UK with a 4.7% market share — with Omoda & Jaecoo now targeting one million annual sales by 2027.GWM PULLS ORA 03 FROM UKGWM has withdrawn the Ora 03 electric hatchback from the UK market after only 542 units were registered across all of 2025 and just 26 in Q1 2026, ending a four-year run for the model originally launched as the Funky Cat. No new stock will be supplied, with the car available only from existing dealer inventory as GWM shifts focus to a broader European growth strategy.LEAPMOTOR B05 TARGETS EUROPE WITH LOW PRICESLeapmotor's B05 compact hatchback will launch in Europe starting at €26,900 in Italy, undercutting every major rival by at least €10,000, including the Volkswagen ID.3 at €40,990, the BYD Dolphin at €35,000 and the MG4 at €34,000. At 4,430 mm long with rear-wheel drive, 160 kW, a 0–100 km/h time of 6.7 seconds and DC fast charging peaking at 174 kW, it combines size, performance and price in a package that directly targets the mainstream European EV market.US EV MAKERS PRESS DIRECT SALES FIGHTUS EV makers including Tesla, Rivian and Lucid are escalating efforts to bypass the dealer franchise model, which still controls 96% of new-vehicle deliveries, using new legal strategies and ballot initiative threats — though the three brands combined held less than 4% of the US light-vehicle market in 2025. The bigger industry fear is not EV startups but legacy or foreign brands like Volkswagen's Scout Motors breaking the model open for all manufacturers, which could fundamentally reshape US auto retail.MG WEIGHS SPAIN FOR EUROPEAN EV PLANTMG Motor reportedly favours Spain — particularly Galicia — over Hungary for its first European EV manufacturing plant, driven largely by Galicia's strong shipping links to the UK, MG's most important European market. No final decision has been made, but the move is driven by SAIC facing the EU's highest Chinese automaker tariff rate of 35.3%, even as producing cars in Europe will cost more than manufacturing them in China.AVERAGE EV RETAINS 97% OF ITS RANGE AFTER THREE YEARSRecurrent's 2026 EV Market and Trends Report found that the average EV retains 97% of its range after three years and 95% after five years, with five brands — Cadillac, Ford, Hyundai, Mercedes and Rivian — showing zero apparent range loss over five years. Used EV demand surged 53.9% between February and March 2026, with the average used EV now priced at $34,653 — just $1,012 below an equivalent ICE vehicle — while average new EV range for 2026 models rose 11% to 325 miles.
