En este vídeo encontrarás una recomendación de Lidl que se une a los patrocinadores de nuestro canal y nos da una serie de consejos para disfrutar de una vida sana y de una selección de alimentos que nos harán disfrutar de la mejor mesa a un buen precio. Puedes descubrir todo lo que te ofrecen en: https://www.lidl.es/ Luca de Meo, ex CEO de Renault, ha dicho que los coches eléctricos están diseñados para las personas a las que no les gustan los coches y que no aprovechan las ventajas de sus pequeños motores y las posibilidades de ubicación de sus baterías para hacer coches bonitos, originales, diferentes… No puedo estar más de acuerdo, pero… Luca… tío… ¿Por qué no cambiaste las cosas cuando podías? Este es un video diferente… te lo prometo. Los coches convencionales son como son, porque tenían que dar cabida a los elementos mecánicos como motor y cambio, que había en cada época, el chasis era pieza aparte y la transmisión por debajo, con lo cual tenían que ser altos. La estética ha ido evolucionando de la mano de la evolución de la tecnología. El diseño exterior de los coches está supeditado por el volumen y la posición de sus partes mecánicas… dicho esto… La mayoría de los coches eléctricos tienen más o menos las mismas proporciones de coches convencionales, pero con guiños, no siempre afortunados, a la modernidad: Paneles lisos, parrillas que no son parrillas, proporciones que nos parecen erróneas. Coches que, en el mejor de los casos, son anónimos, casi vulgares y que para muchos y parecen electrodomésticos con ruedas. Justo cuando surge una oportunidad revolucionaria que, en mi opinión, muchos fabricantes están desaprovechando de forma lamentable. Porque los motores eléctricos, se puede decir que no ocupan espacio, en ocasiones van en las mismas ruedas, y las baterías puede ser de formas dispares y ponerse donde queramos, nos hay trasmisión, solo unos cables… libertad casi total para el diseñador… que no se aprovecha. ¿Por qué? Son varios los motivos… Y aquí llega el primer gran problema de muchos eléctricos: Nacen con plataformas compartidas. Es decir, el fabricante parte de la base de un coche de gasolina y la adapta para meterle baterías y un motor eléctrico. No se diseña desde cero. Un intento de que el coche eléctrico parezca “un coche de verdad", por miedo a que el cliente se asuste. Pero al hacerlo perdemos una oportunidad: La de que los coches eléctricos tengan personalidad propia. Como me dijo un diseñador: No son “un diseño honesto”. No es un diseño que responde a las necesidades, sino que vive acomplejado, disfrazado de lo que ya no es. Es un quiero y no puedo funcional que se traduce en una estética muy convencional en ocasiones incluso vulgar, en un artificio innecesario. Incluso cuando tienen éxito. ¿Y si diseñásemos un eléctrico pariendo de una hoja en blanco? En este momento es cuando…la historia se pone interesante. Porque la arquitectura de un coche eléctrico puro, diseñado desde cero en una plataforma dedicada, es una auténtica revolución. Es una hoja en blanco para los diseñadores, la mayor oportunidad que han tenido en un siglo. Olvídense de todo lo anterior. Aquí tenemos lo que se conoce como plataforma "skateboard" o monopatín. Una base plana que contiene las baterías. Es el suelo del coche. Los motores son increíblemente compactos, a veces uno en cada eje, a veces solo en el trasero. ¿Qué significa esto? Porque hay muchas oportunidades: Uno: El capó ya no tiene por qué ser largo. Puedes acortar el morro drásticamente. Dos: Sin motor de combustión ni caja de cambios, puedes adelantar el habitáculo. Tres: El parabrisas puede nacer mucho más adelante, ganando un espacio interior gigantesco. Cuatro: El túnel de transmisión desaparece. El suelo es completamente plano. Cinco: Puedes llevar las ruedas a los extremos del coche. Alargar la distancia entre ejes al máximo y reducir los voladizos a la mínima expresión. Algunos ejemplos. Para mí ya hay ejemplos de coches eléctricos diferentes, BMW i3. Un coche ejemplar en el sentido que hablamos porque es bonito, va bien, es diferente y se utilizan las ventajas que aporta un eléctrico para ser un coche diferente. Honda e. Un coche urbano, encantador con un diseño que no mira al pasado de la combustión, sino que reinterpreta los compactos clásicos de motor trasero. Lucid Air. El concepto de "espacio inteligente" de Lucid aprovecha la compacta motorización eléctrica para ofrecer un interior excepcionalmente espacioso, rivalizando con berlinas de mayor tamaño. Mercedes EQs. La característica más definitoria del EQS es su diseño "One-Bow" o “un solo arco” en el que la silueta del coche traza una línea fluida y arqueada desde el frontal hasta la zaga, sin interrupciones visuales. Porsche Taycan. Hablamos de diseño, no de oportunidad o de estrategia de marca. Y desde este punto de vista este modelo mantiene una silueta deportiva clásica, pero aprovecha la plataforma eléctrica para tener un centro de gravedad increíblemente bajo y un morro más afilado y bajo de lo que sería posible en un Panamera.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss the upcoming release of Tesla FSD 14, Waymo's potential expansion to London and Nuro taking delivery of their first Lucid-built robotaxi.What will the highly anticipated release of FSD 14 (Supervised) mean for the market? Could reduced driver monitoring signal that Tesla is inching closer to FSD Unsupervised? One thing is clear no matter what, Tesla's vertical integration and production scale position it to deploy robotaxis faster than anyone, including Waymo, which remains dependent on its manufacturing partners. Later the conversation then turns to Waymo's London ambitions and what this expansion could reveal about its evolving relationship with Uber. As for Uber, where do they ultimately want to go in autonomy, and how do they want the market to perceive their strategy? Is it time to acknowledge they won't be over reliant on Waymo to scale, and instead focus on growing the Nuro/Lucid partnership globally? The answers aren't yet clear, but the possibilities are endless as Uber expands deeper into the robotaxi market.Episode Chapters0:00 FSD 146:44 Waymo Eyes London Expansion9:17 Does Uber Launch Robotaxis in Nashville without Waymo?11:35 Waymo Market Predictions15:13 Tesla Market Predictions17:53 Amazon's Continued Commitment to Zoox23:26 Nuro Takes Delivery of First Lucid-Built Robotaxi28:43 Nissan ProPilot powered by Wayve31:08 Kodiak Goes Public32:22 Next WeekRecorded on Thursday, September 25, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Chevy is charging into the off-road EV space with the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss, and Chris Teague got behind the wheel to see if this electric truck delivers on its bold promises. Built on GM's Ultium platform, the Trail Boss version stands apart with a 2-inch lift, 35-inch all-terrain tires, and 24% more ground clearance than its base sibling. The off-road upgrades are more than cosmetic. The unique suspension tuning, hydraulic rebound control, and dedicated driving modes like Terrain and Sidewinder make this EV surprisingly capable when the pavement ends. Power? There's plenty. With the Max Range battery pack, the Trail Boss pumps out up to 725 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque, offering towing up to 12,500 pounds and a 2,100-pound payload. It's not just brawn, though. The Silverado EV Trail Boss is loaded with tech, from its 17.7-inch touchscreen and Super Cruise hands-free towing to a Multi-Flex Midgate that opens up interior cargo flexibility. Does it live up to the hype? Chris will offer his view in this episode. 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport Elite Review While Chris put the Silverado EV Trail Boss through its paces in Maine, Jack Nerad took the 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport Elite on a week-long test at the other end of the country. And while the Passport TrailSport doesn't pretend to be a full-on rock-crawler, it delivers an interesting balance of off-road capabilitiesand suburban charm. Powered by a 3.5-liter V6 offering 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque paired with a nine-speed automatic, the TrailSport features Honda's i-VTM4 torque-vectoring AWD, intelligent traction management, and retuned suspension for better trail performance. Visually, the TrailSport Elite offers some blacked-out trim, 18-inch machined alloy wheels wrapped in all-terrain rubber, and subtle badging. Inside, it's all about comfort with leather-trimmed heated seats, a moonroof, acoustic glass, tri-zone climate, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Comfortable? Yes, but is this a vehicle to conquer the Rubicon? Jack and Chris will have the answer. Special Guest: Sam Fiorani, AutoForecast Solutions This week's guest, industry insider Sam Fiorani, Vice President of Global Vehicle Forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions, will have the answer on what will happen with the end of federal EV tax credits, which expire in a little over a week. We'll discuss what it all means for consumers, automakers, and the overall electric vehicle adoption rate. In Auto Industry News this Week Ram Drops Full-EV Plans, Bets on Range-Extended REV Stellantis has canceled its battery-electric Ram pickup project, instead refocusing on a range-extended Ram 1500 REV that blends electric drive with a gas engine for longer range and better towing. The move reflects weakening demand for full-size EV trucks and a pivot toward flexibility in powertrains. Toyota Recalls Nearly 700,000 Vehicles, Including All BEVs Toyota issued two major recalls. One involves nearly 600,000 vehicles with potentially faulty 12.3-inch displays and the other covers 95,000 electric vehicles like the Toyota bZ4X and Lexus RZ with malfunctioning defrosters. Congress Pushes Catalytic Converter Theft Legislation The U.S. House has reintroduced the PART Act, aiming to reduce catalytic converter theft by requiring VIN stamping on new catalytic converters. Lawmakers hope it will deter thieves and aid police recovery efforts as the black-market value of stolen converters continues to rise. Lucid and Uber Team Up on Robotaxis Lucid Motors and Uber have signed a $300 million deal to develop a robotaxi using Lucid's EV tech and Nuro's Level 4 autonomous system. The goal? A 20,000-vehicle fleet based on Lucid's Gravity SUV, set for limited deployment next year. Listener Question of the Week Carson from Erie, Pennsylvania asks, “What's your favorite sleeper car that no one talks about? Do you think now is the time to buy a car like...
Lucid dreams are dreams in which you become aware that you are dreaming while you are dreaming. This means that you can recognise that the events and characters in your dream are not real, and that you are actually asleep in your bed. Some people can even control their dreams to some extent, and shape them according to their wishes. Imagine being able to fly, visit exotic places, or meet your favourite celebrities in your dreams. But how do lucid dreams happen? And why would you want to have lucid dreams? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

The sporty, composite-bodied SUV pairs dual motors and a petrol engine for 300 km range, with a production debut expected around 2027 or 2028. GEELY LAUNCHES EX5 ELECTRIC SUV IN UK Geely has launched its EX5 electric SUV in the UK, starting at £31,990 and offering up to 267 miles of range on a lithium-iron-phosphate battery with rapid charging. Featuring trims up to £36,990, the EX5 targets fleet buyers, includes a six-year warranty, and will begin deliveries in late October. VW DELAYS ID. GOLF AND ID. ROC TO 2030 Volkswagen has postponed production of its ID. Golf and ID. Roc EVs to 2030, with the ID. Roc debuting first on the new SSP platform, followed by the ID. Golf. The delay triggers a reshuffle of its plant allocations, with related internal combustion and EV model moves now set for clarification in annual planning later in the year. BERLIN PLANT RAISES OUTPUT DESPITE SALES DROP Tesla's Berlin Grünheide factory is increasing its production targets in response to anticipated market strength, despite ACEA reporting a 44% sales drop in the EU and a 39% decline in German registrations through August. Tesla attributes the downturn to Model Y design updates disrupting sales, with Norway showing strong growth and production revised upwards for Q3 and Q4. ALL-ELECTRIC AUDI RS6 E-TRON FUTURE UNCLEAR The fully electric Audi RS6 e-tron may be canceled, even as prototypes continue road testing, with Audi expected instead to launch a plug-in hybrid RS6 alongside its traditional combustion model. Both vehicles were planned to share RS6 design cues but sit on different platforms, and initial plans had the EV debuting before the plug-in hybrid's 2026 arrival. HONG KONG PURSUES LOCAL EV ASSEMBLY BASE Hong Kong is negotiating with multiple Chinese carmakers, including FAW Group, to establish local EV production facilities as part of a push for strategic industry and international expansion. High local costs and China's overcapacity drive suppliers to Hong Kong's financial sector, with major players like Contemporary Amperex Technology already setting up headquarters and listing on the city's stock exchange. LUCID TO EXPAND IN ASIA, BUT NOT CHINA Lucid Motors plans expansion into Asian markets but will avoid China, citing heavy subsidies and overcapacity as reasons for staying out. Interim CEO Marc Winterhoff expressed confidence in Lucid's technology and competitiveness while focusing future models on the $50,000 segment and higher, not the low-cost market. EXTENDING AUSTRALIAN EV TAX EXEMPTION COULD ADD 1.5 MILLION TO ROADS Extending Australia's EV fringe-benefits tax exemption to 2035 could add 1.5 million electric cars to Australian roads, according to Electric Vehicle Council modelling. The policy has driven over 100,000 additional EV sales since 2022, with further benefits possible for plug-in hybrids and the second-hand market. NISSAN AND CHARGESCAPE LAUNCH V2G PILOT Nissan and ChargeScape have launched a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) pilot in Silicon Valley, using Nissan EVs and Fermata Energy bidirectional chargers to support grid demand for local data centers. The project aims to set a model for broader V2G integration through California's virtual power plant network and beyond. FORD TOUTS MOVE TO LFP BATTERIES Ford will manufacture lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries at its BlueOval Michigan plant from 2026, using CATL technology for future vehicles including a mid-size pickup. LFP batteries offer lower cost and better safety, though less energy density, and Ford remains open to evolving battery chemistry based on market needs and possible new plants. TOYOTA UK PROFIT FALLS TO £462,000 Toyota Motor UK's pre-tax profits fell sharply to £462,000 with revenues down over £135m, attributed to fleet mix management and compliance with tighter ZEV mandates. Despite a drop in market share, Toyota will expand its EV offering next year, including the all-electric Urban Cruiser SUV debuting in late 2025. USED EV CREDIT WORTH $4,000 ENDING SOON The U.S. federal Used Clean Vehicle Credit, worth up to $4,000 for electric or plug-in hybrid cars priced under $25,000, expires September 30. The credit drove significant price declines and saw models like the Tesla Model 3 and Chevy Bolt become notably affordable, making immediate purchases attractive for eligible buyers. UK REQUIRES LOCK UPGRADES FOR CHINESE CARS UK insurers have required Chinese car manufacturers to improve their vehicles' anti-theft devices and locking systems to better meet local standards amid rising theft rates, now at 102,000 annually. Brands like BYD have worked with regulators and added advanced technology to boost security as Chinese car sales surge in Britain.

Today's show:Jason and Alex are joined by Nuro's Dave Ferguson to unpack the Lucid–Uber–Nuro deal aiming to launch fully driverless Gravity SUVs on Uber by 2026. They dig into why off-the-shelf sensors and Nvidia's Thor chip drive costs down, how mapping 150 cities improves safety, and why lidar still matters for night and edge cases. Plus: lessons from Cruise's collapse, how regulators think about safety multiples, and why autonomy could finally make rides cheaper than owning a car.Timestamps:(00:00) Show intro…(06:23) Uber x Lucid x Nuro: why this 2026 robotaxi deal matters(09:57) Lemon.io - Get 15% off your first 4 weeks of developer time at https://Lemon.io/twist(11:13) What the self-driving “cost stack” really looks like in 2025(14:08) Road-mapping at scale: Nuro's 150-city data collection push(15:38) Can AVs handle snow & rain?

Jill and Tom open the show talking about “launch colors,” basically the color which new vehicles are initially presented in for media reveals, advertising, and promotion. Tom still remembers the copper color the redesigned Mitsubishi Eclipse was unveiled in for 2000. Tom shared his early impressions of the electric Volvo EX30 subcompact crossover. So far, Tom is delighted by the Volvo, and surprised by its price. The hosts turn the discussion to the coming 2026 Jeep Compass; a vehicle Tom and Jill both feel the maker badly needs in its lineup. The Discussion continues to include clarification on the topic of Japanese “kei” cars, including proper pronunciation, and a brief chat regarding the heritage-trimmed Stroppe Edition of the Ford Bronco. In the second segment the hosts are joined by AutoForecast Solutions Vice President Sam Fiorani. Sam shared insights related to the current tariff situation, and what the elimination of “carbon credits” means to EV makers including Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid. Sam also shares news regarding the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Red!” quiz, in which she is challenged to identify fake car colors.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1123: Today we cover Rivian's fight over frozen EV credit revenue, ex-Tesla talent launching Hubber to fill urban charging gaps, and a sharp rebound in CEO confidence as recession fears cool but cost pressures remain.Show Notes with links:Rivian says the Trump administration's rollback of fuel economy penalties is choking off $100 million in revenue from regulatory credits—a revenue stream EV makers have depended on for years. The fight shows how quickly policy changes can shake up automaker economics.EV makers like Rivian, Lucid, and Tesla sell CAFE credits to legacy brands that struggle with gas-mileage targets.NHTSA froze compliance letters after the rollback, leaving credit deals in limbo.Rivian already negotiated deals it now can't close; Tesla projects a $1.1B hit to expected revenue.GM and Ford, frequent buyers of these credits, could save billions thanks to looser rules.Rivian said credits made up 6.5% of its revenue this year, while Lucid noted they represent a “significant share” of theirs.From the chaos of Elon Musk firing Tesla's entire Supercharger team, a new EV charging startup has emerged. Hubber, founded by ex-Tesla talent, is focused on solving one of the industry's biggest bottlenecks: fast charging for urban taxis and delivery fleets.Former Tesla leads Harry Fox, Connor Selwood, and Hugh Leckie rolled out 100 Supercharger sites before launching Hubber.The company targets urban “charging deserts,” converting warehouses and gas stations into high-throughput hubs.Taxis and ride-hailing vehicles charge up to 5x more often than consumer cars, making access critical.Hubber secured £60M (~$81M) in funding, with its first site opening this week in South London.“We're addressing one of the most urgent constraints in the energy transition: the shortage of fast, reliable charging in major cities,” Hubber states.CEO confidence is staging a rebound. After a brutal second quarter, execs are signaling less panic about recession and a more stable outlook for their industries, though concerns about labor, wages, and costs remain front and center.The confidence index rose to 49 in Q3, up from 34 in Q2.Recession fears fell sharply: 36% expect one in the next 12–18 months, compared to 83% last quarter.Job outlook flipped, with 34% of CEOs planning cuts vs. 27% planning to hire — the first net negative since 2020.Most CEOs still plan to raise wages 3%+ in the next year, even as they freeze capital spending.Cost pressure is highest from suppliers (71%), materials (64%), and tech (63%), pushing many to boost productivity through automation and upskilling.“CEO confidence recovered… but fell short of signaling a return to optimism,” said Stephanie Guichard, senior eJoin 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/
Jill and Tom open the show discussing the poor first-half financial returns of EV startups Lucid and Rivian, and the surprising impact recent emissions deregulation will have on their bottom lines. The hosts also touch on the slow sales start of Lucid's new Gravity EV crossover. Still in the first segment, Jill reviews the subcompact Acura ADX crossover. Jill likes the vehicle, but questions if it's refined and powerful enough to be an Acura. Listen in for her complete review. In the second segment Jill and Tom welcome Green Sense Show host Robert Colangelo to the program. Robert talked about his show—surprise news—and how shrinking cities may impact the auto industry and transportation in general. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Korean or Japanese?” quiz. To close the show, Tom shared some highlights from an iSeeCars list of fastest-depreciating vehicles.
