Podcasts about Model Y

Episode Summary Welcome to a weekend edition of Kilowatt, where we break down the latest shifts in electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and renewable energy. In this episode, we dive into the details of California's newly structured EV rebate program and explore Norway's staggering, world-leading 98.1% EV registration market share dominated by the Tesla Model Y. We also discuss the impending arrival of affordable Chinese EVs like Dongfeng's Nami Box and Vigo into the Canadian market under reduced tariffs. Turning to Tesla news, we unpack the recent recall of nearly 20,000 older Model 3 and Model Y vehicles due to overly bright low-beam headlights. Additionally, we cover the NTSB's latest findings regarding the tragic FSD crash in Texas, Elon Musk's promises regarding personalized FSD driver preference learning, and Tesla's plans to build a purpose-built, wheelchair-accessible autonomous vehicle outside Austin.

Would you choose one of the least expensive vehicles in the country for a road trip to Las Vegas? Host Jack Nerad did just that, taking the $25,000 small SUV on a 600-mile out-and-back in weather topping 100 degrees. What — is he nuts? Meanwhile, Co-Host Chris Teague gave himself a more reasonable assignment, reviewing the off-road-ready 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness. Jack and Chris also discuss Europe's new mandatory driver-monitoring systems, progress on solid-state batteries, and Tesla's new (longer) three-row Model Y. Labor strife also hits the news in the form of Hyundai worker strikes and Volkswagen's restructuring setback. Plus, Britain's Goodwood car festival announces an American version.

We are now recording an audio version of written posts that we will upload to Apple, Spotify, and YouTube, which you can listen to by clicking the play button above.We continue our SoH (Strait of Hormuz) Crisis Takeaways series with a check-in on our Obliterating Peak Oil Demand theme that rejects the idea that anyone can know today what decade let alone year oil demand will ultimately peak and subsequently plateau or decline. We have yet to see a scenario from major agencies, banks, or consultants that solves for everyone on Earth some day becoming energy rich, which, in our view, is the ultimate direction of travel. The massive unmet energy needs of the other 7 billion people on Earth points to growth in all current major energy sources and technologies. Energy's natural hierarchy of needs points to a high motivation by especially billion-person-scale developing countries to crack the code on new energy technologies. How is there still any doubt that we will of course need rising amounts of both traditional and new energy sources and technologies for many, many decades to come?There is some thought among energy observers that the SoH Crisis will accelerate the timing of “peak oil demand.” It is a view we reject. Even under our base-case of a messy stalemate between the U.S. and Iran and volatile oil flows out of the Strait, we are highly skeptical we could see the kind of sustained, large-scale substitution out of refined oil products into alternatives that would result in even a plateauing of global oil demand at global GDP rates of 2.7% or higher. In fact, growth in EVs (electric vehicles) and LNG (liquefied natural gas) trucks is likely helping economic resiliency in countries like China and others in southeast Asia during a time of SoH-driven stress and therefore keeping global GDP at better levels than might otherwise be the case. The ultimate driver of all forms of energy, including crude oil, is GDP growth. The biggest risk from the SoH Crisis was (or maybe still is) a deep global recession that would hit demand for oil and other energy sources in the short run.The combination of the April 7 ceasefire and June 17 MOU—as imperfect as both agreements have been—significantly reduced worst-case “$200 oil / global recession” risks. There is also plenty of evidence that neither side is looking for the kind of prolonged full-scale ground war that could drive a more substantial and ongoing disruption of oil supplies out of the region. As such, we are skeptical the duration of the crisis has been anywhere near long enough to accelerate more meaningful behavioral change, even when measured over a longer time frame than just the next few years.As always, we keep an open mind and welcome pushback or different points of view. With that said, our confidence in this core view has only grown since we first unveiled our “Obliterating Peak Oil Demand” series three years ago (here). We use the popular Q&A format to address the main questions we receive on the failing peak oil demand thesis.Subscribe to Super-Spiked to receive all content via email. Also available on https://veriten.com.Question 1 (Q1): You had pushed back on the so-called “peak oil demand” view that was most prevalent during peak “energy transition-climate crisis” years of 2021-2023. Does the SoH Crisis mean “peak oil demand” is back on the table?Answer (A): No.We continue to push back hard on the idea that anyone today can model with any certainty when oil demand will peak, plateau, or possibly decline when the unmet energy needs of the other 7 billion people on Earth are as massive as they are. That has been and remains a core ethos of ours. There are no major external forecasters that we are aware of that have modeled full global prosperity—i.e., everyone on Earth enjoying the basic human right of being energy rich.Q2: Isn't there growing evidence that peak oil demand is at least on the horizon even if you don't think it is imminent?A: No, there isn't. In fact just the opposite. There is more evidence that it is nowhere in sight.At a big picture level, we disaggregate growth in oil demand into two component pieces: (1) global GDP growth; and (2) an “efficiency gain” metric that is the change in the number of barrels it takes to generate a $ of GDP (Exhibit 1). Incorporated into our efficiency gain metric are all the things that would improve the multiplier of GDP to oil demand, including substitute products like EVs and LNG trucks as well as fuel economy gains. It's all captured in that one metric.Our key conclusion is that every year we use slightly fewer barrels to generate a $ of GDP, but that the rate of improvement is well short of what is needed to even flatten global oil demand. The common mistake of every “peak oil demand” forecast we have seen, in particular those from the IEA and leading major oil companies, is a massive over-estimation of future efficiency gains. Typically, too quick of a ramp in EVs and other substitute products is compounded by an assumption that despite fuel economy targets having been missed by 75%-95% historically, they will be achieved at something approaching a 100% success ratio going forward. It has honestly been ridiculous how willing otherwise smart analysts have been to over model and at times double count those two impacts in particular.Exhibit 1: Oil demand derivationSource: Goldman Sachs Research, IEA, OPEC, Veriten.Q3: What is the risk to oil demand?A: It would be extended recession-like global GDP.Global GDP hasn't exactly been booming over the past several years, but at 2.7%-2.8% it has been good enough to drive around a 1 million b/d per year oil demand growth reality. Our number one concern when it comes to oil demand is always the health of the global economy. It is why we did not celebrate (from the perspective of traditional energy companies) the upside risk of $150-$200/bbl as you saw from the perma bulls. The reason being that the kind of oil price needed to motivate a global recession is hardly a bullish outcome for traditional energy companies.Q4: Aren't rising EV sales a risk to future oil demand?A: We disagree with the ICE (internal combustion engine) versus EV zero sum mindset that almost everyone has (there is common ground among the climate-is-the-top-priority crowd and oil sector enthusiasts on perceiving ICE vs EV as a zero sum game).There is no chance that especially the billion-person scale economies like China and India are going to want to subject themselves to the magnitude of oil imports that would come from achieving rich-world economic status but only with traditional energy products. We already know this from observing China and fully expect India to diversify its energy sources and technologies in order to ultimately limit oil imports relative to a scenario where alternatives did not exist. We have long championed the benefits of energy source and technology diversification as good for all forms of energy. As noted above, we believe global recession is the biggest risk to oil demand.In the case of the SoH Crisis, we believe new technologies like EVs, LNG trucks, and the ability to work-from-home via Zoom and related products has added critical flexibility to offsetting a major supply loss as has occurred with the SoH closure. To be sure, that flexibility alone did not remove the worst-case scenario of oil needing to spike to $150-$200/bbl in order to force global recession, but it certainly was part of a series of mitigations along with the material SPR and commercial inventory reductions and pipeline redirections.Let us repeat this to ensure the point is made: growth in new technologies like EVs, LNG trucks, and Zoom has been positive for oil demand in that it has been a contributing factor to ensuring ongoing global economic growth.Q5: Won't the SoH Crisis drive an even faster shift to non-ICE vehicles?A: Yes, we are bullish on global EV sales, especially in large parts of Asia.New vehicle sales are as good of an indication of healthy economic growth as any. If EV sales are growing rapidly, this is good for economic activity and hence oil demand.Q6: But those EV sales represent miles driven that won't be using gasoline?A: Correct. But they will also represent economic activity that perhaps wouldn't be occurring helping support other oil products.We would guard against analyses that show “oil demand avoided based on EV sales to date” we see being published by the IEA and others. Like the issues we see with peak oil demand in general as well as the on again-off again “oil glut” calls, these single-variable extrapolations do not tell the full story for oil demand. The fact is that you don't see the impact in our efficiency gain metric.To be sure, we agree that the outlook for gasoline is weaker than for other products like diesel, jet fuel, and petrochemical feedstocks, in part driven by rising EV sales. However, the existing ICE car park is massive and is expected to grow at a modest clip in the coming decades as highlighted in OPEC's most recent World Oil Outlook 2026 report (link).Looking at Exhibit 2, it is not obvious to us that gasoline demand will globally decline in the coming decades—a view that even many in the oil sector broadly accept. It also highlights how massive the existing stock of ICE vehicles are; the curve slopes slightly up and shows no signs of bending down.Exhibit 2: ICE car park rises slowly, while EV car park rises much faster of a small baseSource: OPEC World Oil Outlook 2026 report.Q7: Robotaxis and autonomous driving: An EV accelerant?A: Yes, quite possibly.The automotive and technology aspiration of autonomous mobility continues to make significant strides. We are optimistic on the progress to date and have high expectations that robotaxis and other forms of autonomous mobility are a present day opportunity, with the technology likely to grow significantly in the years ahead. While notionally an ICE vehicle should have as much of an opportunity to be autonomous as an EV, it is our understanding at this admittedly early stage of development that EVs will secure a more meaningful share of autonomous miles driven. This bears further analysis and an evaluation of how trends ultimately develop. The fact that EVs are inherently more “software oriented” is the reason often given for the EV preference for autonomous mobility.We will repeat the perspective we have maintained throughout this post: if the rise of autonomous mobility leads to increased economic activity—even if overwhelmingly met by EVs—it will benefit overall oil demand though non-gasoline refined products would benefit to a greater degree.Q8: Diversification benefits of having both ICE and EV?A: The idea that all economic activity should be tied to the electric grid is absurd.No country should or is going to aspire to “electrify everything.” At a country level, having a mix of energy sources and technologies is likely to create the greatest resiliency in an uncertain world. Currently, most countries are over-exposed to ICE vehicles as we can see in the car park comparison in Exhibit 2. The ability to avoid odd-even license plate days is enhanced by a greater EV share. As we have now said or implied several times in this post, we expect significant growth in EV sales in the decades ahead, outpacing growth in ICE vehicles.⚡️On A Personal Note: Onto My Third TeslaSince purchasing my first Tesla on my birthday in 2015—a 2015 Model S—I have been an EV-first driver for personal travel. In 2020, we traded in the Model S for a 2020 Model 3. About a month ago, we traded in that Model 3 for a 2026 Model Y. I love driving a Tesla and prefer it over a comparably priced ICE vehicle (I have no doubt that there are high-end ICE vehicles that would be more fun to drive than any of my Teslas). A few observations:* Full Self Driving (Supervised) is awesome and a better experience than any equivalent driver assist technology I have tried from other companies. It's not a close call in my view. Tesla appears to be well ahead of the competition on this. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to try any of the Chinese EVs, which I will aim to do in the future.* A Model Y or Model 3, in my view, is currently a better value than comparable ICE vehicles in similar performance or price categories. As we have been shopping to refresh our two 2020-era cars, this has been a surprise. I would note that this is true at a time that there is no federal EV tax credit.* We had been hanging onto an ICE vehicle for long-distance travel. But with my parents now ten minutes away, instead of 5-7 hours away, there is no obvious reason to not consider being an all Tesla family.* On the last long distance trip we took, we rented a (ICE) minivan from Avis. This seems like a reasonable path forward. We aren't ever going to own a minivan, but our golden doodle was actually quiet and comfortable while being driven in it.Last week we took a trip to western Pennsylvania to visit relatives. It is about 250 miles in each direction. Overall, our experience with FSD was outstanding.* FSD for long-distance travel is an absolute no brainer, game changer. It is a huge improvement over equivalent driver-assist technology from the competitors I have tried.* There are two scenarios where I had less comfort: (1) construction zones with the concrete barriers during times of busy but flowing traffic including many 18-wheelers. The Model Y on FSD did not make a mistake we noticed, but the rate of speed (it drove at the speed limit) was faster on turns with trucks in the next lane than I would have attempted; (2) I made a different decision on whether to swerve or go over a deceased small animal than what FSD picked (it wanted to swerve).* FSD was especially outstanding during slow-moving traffic congestion.* Many smaller decisions it made to me seemed very “human like,” meaning it is how I would have approached the situation.* I was especially pleased to see that it recognized a person approaching a cross walk and came to a stop so they could cross (this was in a residential area of town).Autonomous driving is unquestionably a future that is fast approaching. Is the technology perfect? Of course not. But neither are human drivers. A Tesla does not text or drink and drive as an example. And while you can question some of the choices it made, it makes none of them due to drowsiness, distraction, or other stressors.Autonomous mobility is going to be a game changer in reducing overall traffic accidents and fatalities. It is going to be a game changer for people like my parents that have had to give up driving; they are both good with technology and could easily handle a future, improved version of FSD. I think autonomous mobility will be positive for miles driven and economic activity. Even if it is overwhelmingly EV focused in passenger vehicles, it is going to be positive for GDP growth and therefore oil demand.⚖️ DisclaimerI certify that these are my personal, strongly held views at the time of this post.

Recalls and reliability headlines can feel like background noise until you're the one staring at a warning light and a four-figure estimate. We put the spotlight on five current engine problem cases that keep showing up in owner complaints, class action lawsuits, and government investigations, and we explain why these patterns matter if you're shopping new or used. You'll hear what's being reported, what kinds of failures are at stake, and why “we changed the oil recommendation” doesn't always restore confidence.We move brand by brand, from Honda's widely used 1.5-liter turbo and its oil dilution and head gasket worries to Nissan's variable compression VC turbo recall situation. We also dig into GM's 6.2-liter V8 problems in high-volume trucks and SUVs, then talk through the Jeep 4XE plug-in hybrid's mix of mechanical and electrical concerns, including fire risk and the strange but serious casting sand recall. Even Toyota isn't off the hook as we cover ongoing noise around the 3.4-liter twin turbo V6 and engine bearing failures.Then we lighten it up with summer driving ideas: water parks around Houston that offer a different feel than the biggest corporate destinations, including city-run spots and smaller neighborhood-style parks that can be easier with kids. We wrap with a first drive review of the all-new 2026 Subaru Trail Seeker EV, covering design, screens and controls, 281-mile range, charging habits, towing, pricing, and how it stacks up against competitors like the Model Y and Ioniq 5.If you got value from this mix of practical car buying advice and road trip ideas, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review.

Protože se dá ale jen těžko rozlišit, kdo z uživatelů je Američan, vyřadil Anthropic modely úplně všem. „Kdyby to opatření mělo být důsledné, tak by se stejně musely zakázat i jazykové modely od Googlu a OpenAI,“ poukazuje v pořadu Online Plus vědecký redaktor Deníku N Petr Koubský.Všechny díly podcastu Online Plus můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Description: In this episode, I sit down with Steve Sheridan to talk about his upgrade from a 2020 Tesla Model Y Performance to the new 2026 Model Y Performance. Steve shares what motivated the change, including the significantly improved ride quality, quieter cabin, and refinements Tesla has made to the vehicle over the last several years. We discuss why the Model Y continues to be the right fit for his needs, from garage constraints to the features he values most, such as one-pedal driving, visibility, and Tesla's user interface. Steve also walks us through the ordering and delivery process, including a few issues that popped up at delivery and how Tesla addressed them. We chat about his decision to go with the Quicksilver paint option, paint protection film, ceramic coating, and some of the cosmetic changes he made after taking delivery. Finally, Steve shares his thoughts on the latest version of Full Self-Driving, where it's improved, where it still falls short, and why he remains attentive behind the wheel. It's a fun conversation packed with real-world ownership insights for anyone considering the updated Model Y.

This week on America on the Road, Jack Nerad and Chris Teague review two strong three-row performers — the engaging 2026 Mazda CX-90 Premium Plus and the upscale 2026 Honda Pilot Elite. They also discuss rising EV interest amid higher gas prices, Tesla's latest Model Y price increases, Honda's major hybrid offensive, Volkswagen's 2027 lineup changes, and a Mazda survey on Gen Z car buyers.

Send us Fan MailA month after buying a pre-owned Tesla Model Y, the honeymoon phase turns into something more useful: real-world lessons you only learn once you're charging, commuting, and living with the car day after day. We talk honestly about what we love so far, what surprised us, and what we wish we knew earlier, especially for anyone shopping the electric vehicle market because gas prices keep climbing.We get into the everyday experience first, including why we chose to tint the windows and how the Model Y's glass-heavy design changes visibility and comfort. Then we dig into safety and driver awareness, because the Tesla alert style feels different than other newer cars we drive, with fewer beeps and warnings unless you're already close. If you're comparing vehicles, this is the kind of detail that can matter as much as range or acceleration.From there, it's all about the money and the setup. We share what charging costs looked like before we had home charging, how much we've spent so far, and why installing an EV wall connector can be the biggest “welcome to EV ownership” moment, especially in an older home. We walk through the install options, why we picked the permanent route that required digging and running lines outside, and why we chose a Tesla-certified electrician for peace of mind. We also break down Tesla subscription costs like connectivity and the self-driving trial, plus why a $100/month assisted driving price can feel steep if you only want it for road trips.If you're thinking about a Tesla, a Model Y, or any EV with home charging, this is a grounded look at total cost of ownership, charging routines, and the little decisions that make EV life easier.

Buzz to the US market for model year 2027 after skipping 2026, with four trims including a new Tourer 4Motion camping variant featuring a fold-out mattress, Overnight Mode, and factory-built sleeping setup. The 2027 model also adds true one-pedal driving and updated ID.S 6 software with a larger App Store including YouTube and Spotify.TESLA TESTS VIRTUAL SUPERCHARGER QUEUETesla has launched a virtual queue pilot at five Supercharger stations, allowing drivers to join a waitlist via the Tesla app instead of forming a physical line, a feature that arrived a year later than promised. The system is voluntary with no enforcement, and has been opened to non-Tesla EVs — significant given roughly 70% of Supercharger stalls now accept third-party vehicles.FORD URGES BROADER ELECTRIFICATION PITCHFord's European boss Jim Baumbick argued at the FT's Future of the Car summit that the industry must sell EVs on personal benefit rather than CO2 reduction, and that PHEVs and range-extender hybrids should be accepted alongside pure BEVs as valid routes to net zero. He highlighted a stark policy contrast: Sweden's PHEV charging tax incentive results in 70% of drivers plugging in regularly, while the UK's lack of equivalent incentive sees that figure drop to just 10–20%.CANADA ZEV SALES JUMP AS MARKET SHRINKSCanadian EV adoption nearly doubled from 6.5% to 12.2% of total vehicle sales in March 2026, with battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles combining for 21,574 units even as the broader new-vehicle market fell 6.6% year-over-year. Ottawa's reinstated CA$5,000 purchase incentive in February and competitive pricing — with some models starting from CA$30,000 — were key drivers of the surge.POLESTAR EXPANDS UPDATED 3 AND 4 ORDERSPolestar has opened orders for updated versions of the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 across Canada, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and Germany, with the headline change being the Polestar 3's upgrade to an 800V architecture enabling 350 kW DC charging and a 22-minute 10–80% charge time. The Polestar 3 also gains a major compute upgrade from Nvidia DRIVE AGX Xavier to Orin — lifting processing power from 30 to 254 TOPS — with existing owners receiving the chip upgrade at no cost.MAN ADDS 16-TONNE ETGM TO ELECTRIC RANGEMAN Truck & Bus has unveiled the eTGM, a 16-tonne battery-electric truck for urban and regional distribution, debuting at Transpotec Logitec 2026 in Milan and completing a fully electric range from 12 to 50 tonnes. It offers up to 320 kWh of usable battery capacity, a 480 km maximum range, and a mechanical power take-off (mPTO) that MAN says is rare in the segment and reduces bodybuilder conversion costs.CALIFORNIA LAUNCHES $250 MILLION ELECTRIC TRUCK REBATECalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom has launched the California Clean Fuel Reward, a $250 million rebate programme for electric medium- and heavy-duty trucks funded by Low Carbon Fuel Standard revenue, with rebates ranging from $7,500 to $120,000. The state expects over $1 billion in total rebates through 2030, making it the largest utility-administered electric truck rebate programme in the US.BAGLINO LAUNCHES SECOND STARTUP IN HEAT PUMPSDrew Baglino, former Tesla SVP who left in April 2024, has launched Sadi Thermal Machines, a heat pump startup incorporated in June 2025 and co-located with his first venture, Heron Power, in Scotts Valley, California. Baglino is well-positioned for the role, having been a named inventor on Tesla's thermal management patent that underpinned the octovalve system debuted in the Model Y.CATERHAM PROJECT V HITS TEST TRACKCaterham has released new test track footage of its Project V electric sports car running under its own power, performing high-speed charging and braking manoeuvres. The car targets 268bhp, a 1,430kg kerb weight, a sub-5.0-second 0–62mph time, a 249-mile range, and a 20-minute 20–80% charge time.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1348: Today we cover Tesla raising Model Y prices for the first time in years, lenders diving deeper into subprime auto financing, and why automotive advertising is quietly losing market share.Show Notes with links:Tesla just bumped prices on several higher-trim Model Y variants for the first time in two years, signaling confidence that EV demand may be heating back up. Meanwhile, Wall Street is still trying to decide if the stock is charging ahead or stuck in traffic.Tesla raised prices by $1,000 on the Model Y Premium RWD and AWD trims, while the Performance trim climbed by $500.Entry-level Model Y versions remain unchanged, suggesting Tesla is protecting affordability while testing premium demand elasticity.Analysts point to rising gas prices and battery material costs as possible drivers behind the move.Despite the pricing confidence, TSLA stock slid over 4% Friday and dipped again Monday as investors weigh slowing momentum and new technical buy points.Auto lenders are diving deeper into subprime financing as affordability pressures push buyers back into the market and lenders get more aggressive chasing deals. The result? More approvals, higher payments, and longer loan terms.Subprime and deep subprime borrowers made up 15.4% of all auto loans and leases in Q4, the highest share since 2021.Average interest rates are eye-popping: 13.2% for subprime new-car loans and nearly 22% for deep subprime used-car loans.Dealers say lenders are “digging a little deeper” rather than dramatically lowering standards, helped by better data and digital document verification.Experian's Melinda Zabritski summed it up saying, “As affordability remains top of mind, both lenders and consumers are adapting.”For decades, automotive advertising practically was the ad industry. But now, shrinking OEM budgets, EV uncertainty, and Tesla-style marketing strategies are changing the game and auto's share of ad spend is slipping below a historic benchmark.Automotive advertising is projected to fall below 10% of total ad category spend for the first time ever tracked by Guideline.The category shrank roughly 7% in 2025, with spending pressure continuing into 2026.Analysts point to weaker EV momentum and automakers scaling back electric initiatives as major contributors.Newer brands are ditching traditional “big splash” campaigns in favor of leaner marketing approaches, following Tesla's no-advertising playbook.Join 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/

Nejtěžší dnes možná není vydržet tempo. Nejtěžší je neztratit při tom kontakt s tím, co je v nás ještě živé. Tenhle díl je o chvílích, které na venek skoro nejsou vidět, ale uvnitř rozhodují všechno. O tom, jestli znovu zareaguješ podle starého scénáře, nebo se o pár milimetrů vychýlíš. Zůstaneš déle. Řekneš pravdivější větu. Odmítneš něco, co tě vysává. Uděláš malé rozhodnutí, které má v sobě víc života než efektivity. Právě tam se často láme směr celého života.Zároveň je to rozhovor o světě, který si naši pozornost bere dřív, než se stihneme potkat sami se sebou. O algoritmech, podvědomí, dopaminu i o tom, proč dnes nestačí být výkonný. Potřebujeme znovu získat autoritu nad vlastním životem. Učit se ekologii energie. Rozlišovat, co nás rozšiřuje a co nás pomalu zavírá. A možná si znovu položit tu nejdůležitější otázku: co je ve mně ještě opravdu živé a co už jenom reaguje.Parťák dílu:Vilgain - Aktin.cz a tady je náš link essentials ⁠Aktin.cz/bwa⁠ pro slevu zadej kód BWA a objednej si kvalitní produkty s čistým složením.

Die Wall Street dreht kurz vor Handelsstart ins Plus. Der Iran soll ein neues Friedensangebot eingereicht haben. Vorbörslich wurde die Wall Street noch durch den Nahostkonflikt belastet, nachdem Drohnenangriffe in der Nähe nuklearer Infrastruktur der Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten stattgefunden haben. Außerdem erhöht Donald Trump den Druck auf den Iran. Gleichzeitig steigt die Rendite der zehnjährigen US-Staatsanleihen mit rund 4,6 Prozent auf den höchsten Stand seit Anfang 2025. Ein Zeichen wachsender Inflations- und Zinssorgen. Schwache Konjunkturdaten aus China verstärken zusätzlich die Sorge über eine Abschwächung der Weltwirtschaft. Im Fokus stehen heute die Aktien von Baidu, nach besser als erwarteten Quartalszahlen und starkem Wachstum im KI-Cloudgeschäft, Bio-Rad nach Berichten über einen Einstieg des aktivistischen Investors Elliott sowie Tesla, nachdem die Preise für das Model Y erstmals seit zwei Jahren angehoben wurden. Analystenseitig sorgt vor allem die Herabstufung von Applied Materials durch Morgan Stanley für Aufmerksamkeit, obwohl der Konzern zuletzt starke Zahlen geliefert hatte. Positiv aufgenommen werden dagegen höhere Kursziele für Nvidia, CrowdStrike und Dell Technologies, die durch anhaltende Dynamik im KI- und Infrastrukturgeschäft getragen werden.

This week on America on the Road, Jack Nerad and Chris Teague review two very different SUVs — the luxurious 2026 Genesis GV80 3.5T Prestige and the practical 2026 Subaru Solterra electric crossover. They also discuss Ford F-150 shortages, millions of vehicles with unresolved backup camera recalls, Tesla's safety test success, MINI's safety push, and Lexus's new three-row EV. Our special guest is Honda's Dillon Kane.

On today's episode, we discuss real-world Tesla road-trip experiences, comparing Glenn's smoother 600-mile journey with James's cross-country drive to Minnesota in a Model Y — and what it reveals about the current state of EV infrastructure and long-distance travel. The hosts share how Full Self-Driving handled winding two-lane Arkansas highways, construction zones, and Supercharger routing. They also dig into the practical realities of range and charging. James's Model Y delivers roughly half the range of their Honda, and charging takes about four times longer than filling up a gasoline vehicle. With charging stations still few and far between — sometimes spaced beyond the car's comfortable range — drivers often overcharge to build in a safety buffer, adding significant time to the trip. In contrast, gasoline stations are in nearly every town, and if you do run out, a local farmer with a five-gallon can can usually get you moving again. With an EV, you're calling for a tow. James said the Tesla is by far the best option for local driving and probably preferable for short day trips. He added he would take the Model Y to Dallas or Houston before driving the Honda. However, this is exactly what Tesla needs to fix before it becomes a truly viable cross-country option. From there, the conversation shifts into legal and political territory. The hosts discuss James Comey's long history of high-profile prosecutions — from Martha Stewart to Donald Trump — and float the idea that Trump may not care as much about securing a conviction as he does about making Comey experience what it feels like to be on the receiving end of the legal system. For Trump, they suggest, a conviction would simply be lagniappe. They also explore how simply being charged — with all the lawyers, court dates, and expense — can make “the process the punishment,” along with jurisdiction choices and other ongoing cases. The hosts react to news that a high-profile murder trial will be fully televised, and they close with an aviation segment analyzing a tragic Frontier Airlines incident in which a ground worker was fatally ingested into a running engine, raising serious questions about safety protocols and investigation procedures.

Tesla confirms that the upcoming FSD v14 Lite for Hardware 3 vehicles will be rolling out globally. Plus: Tesla introduces not one but two new blue paint options for Model 3 and Model Y, Rivian had a better-than-expected first quarter, Nissan becomes the latest legacy automaker to pull the plug on EVs in the US market, and more!

Car guy Dave Piluski of RTM Engineering Consultants sits in for Jill this week. Tom opened the show by complaining about contemporary country music, especially someone named Luke Combs. This because Tom did not have time to Bluetooth connect with his new test car prior to recording. Dave and Tom discuss two major news items: Ford's constricted F-150 pickup supply, and Nissan's newly revealed turnaround plan. Because of the Iran Conflict, Ford is struggling to source aluminum for the F-150's body panels, and Nissan is working to rebuild sales in the U.S. and globally. Listen in for details. Tom also reviews the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy. Turns out there's little here not to like. In the second segment Dave and Tom are joined by friend of the show Robert Colangelo. Robert shared the details--some horrifying--of his recent Model Y voyage from Northwest Indiana to Canada to catch a Guess Who concert. You don't want to miss this. In the last segment Dave is subjected to Tom's "Which Came First: Eighties Edition: quiz. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Diane King Hall and Tom White speak with Andy Swan, co-founder of LikeFolio after Tesla (TSLA) rallied last week. Andy says the company's Model Y "was the highest selling car in China in March," a factor he believes offers a bullish lift for shares. That said, He suggests traders "should back off this quarter."======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The stagnating demand for the Tesla Cybertruck, which has failed to meet ambitious sales targets despite heavy promotion. Significant portions of recent registrations come from Elon Musk's own companies, such as SpaceX, raising questions about the vehicle's true appeal to general consumers. Meanwhile, Tesla's Model Y continues to evolve through fleet deployments for law enforcement, even as the company faces broader market challenges and inventory surpluses. Separate analysis explores Palantir's corporate culture, describing it as a prolific "founder factory" that attracts elite talent through a mission-driven, decentralized environment. While Palantir thrives by training future entrepreneurs, Tesla's leadership faces increasing scrutiny from investors and analysts regarding vehicle production and corporate governance. Together, the sources provide a comprehensive look at the financial and cultural state of major American tech giants heading into 2026.

On today's episode, we discuss an “ad hoc” Conspiracy Friday lineup that starts with Trump moving 6,000 U.S. troops toward Iran, which Mark reads as a calculated persuasion play signaling that “something's going down” if Tehran does not change course in the next two weeks. The crew gives a Tesla update on James's finicky Model Y and Glenn's newly wrapped matte‑black Cybertruck “Beast,” walking through camera recalibrations, hard reboots, self‑drive behavior in traffic, and the way Tesla silently adjusts seats, mirrors, and connections based on which driver's phone is in the charging dock. From there they dive into Elon Musk's latest ideas, debating universal “high income” as a response to AI‑driven unemployment, whether Congress would just inflate away any productivity gains, and how far‑reaching a projected two‑trillion‑dollar SpaceX IPO might be for stocks and Bitcoin. James and Mark then spar over the proper role of government in markets, arguing about Ticketmaster “abuse,” bank collusion hypotheticals, biblical bans on usury, and whether antitrust actions protect consumers or illegitimately “pick winners and losers.” In the more classic conspiracy stretch, Glenn relays wild online claims that Jeffrey Epstein's island housed demon‑summoning sex rituals and underground labs breeding alien‑human telepaths, which leads them into a broader UFO and alien discussion about wormholes, time‑tourism from the future, and whether supposed “visitors” might actually be hyper‑powerful elites like Soros or Musk. They close by returning to AI's “Borg‑like” spread, predicting three to five turbulent years of white‑collar job displacement, union‑style resistance to automation, and eventual emergence of new kinds of work even as some small businesses—like a beloved local bakery that may never reopen—illustrate how fragile real‑world entrepreneurs remain in the face of big structural shifts. Don't miss it!

Ta nejlepší věc pro tvůj nervový systém je další člověk. A ta nejhorší ale taky. Už touhle větou se tenhle díl trefuje přesně do místa, kde dnes vztahy skutečně žijeme: mezi touhou po blízkosti a strachem z nejistoty. S Markétou Šetinovou rozebíráme, jak vypadá moderní dating ve světě aplikací, ghostingu, situationshipů a přemíry možností. Proč se tolik lidí cítí randěním vyčerpaně, proč intenzita ještě neznamená kompatibilitu a proč vztah nemusí vždy vzniknout z velké chemie. Někdy se vyplatí dát čas i tomu, co nepřichází jako okamžitá limerence, ale může nést větší stabilitu.Proč dnešní dating podporuje limerenci, nejistotu a intenzivní emoční výkyvy. Proč dating apps často vedou k dating burnout, ghostingu a pocitu nedostatku skutečného connection.Proč nemusí každý dobrý vztah vzniknout z okamžité chemie a proč se někdy vyplatí dát přitažlivosti víc času. Jak přemýšlet o lásce jinak, ne jako o něčem, co se pouze najde, ale co se může budovat. Proč jsou i nemainstreamové vztahy často podobné v tom nejdůležitějším, v potřebě blízkosti, komunikace a porozumění.Proč je ve vztazích čím dál důležitější flexibilita a schopnost adaptace.Parťák dílu:⁠⁠⁠Macromo:⁠⁠⁠⁠Krevní testy jsou objektivní data ohledně vašeho zdraví.

Rivian has spent four years and billions of dollars building electric vehicles that most people cannot afford. The R2 — a mid-size SUV that starts at $45,000 and tops out at $57,990 — is the company's answer to that problem. Full pricing and trim details dropped today, 12 March 2026, and deliveries of the first Performance variant begin this spring. If it works, Rivian becomes a proper carmaker. If it does not, the maths gets ugly fast.From Concept to ConcreteThe R2 platform was first announced in 2022, with production originally pencilled in for 2025 at a planned factory in Georgia. That changed in March 2024, when RJ Scaringe, Rivian's founder and chief executive, unveiled the production-ready R2 alongside the smaller R3 and R3X crossovers at a packed event at the Rivian Theater in Laguna Beach, California. Mr Scaringe also confirmed he was scrapping the Georgia plan — at least for now — and would build the R2 at the existing Normal, Illinois plant instead. That decision saved more than $2.25 billion in capital expenditure and, crucially, pulled the launch date forward.Within 24 hours of its unveiling, Rivian had taken more than 68,000 reservations at $100 apiece. By July 2024, the company's VP of manufacturing Tim Fallon said reservations had surpassed 100,000 and were still climbing. Rivian has not updated that figure publicly since.Production began in January 2026. Validation vehicles rolled off the Normal line first, and the factory is now ramping toward a target capacity of 155,000 R2 units per year — alongside the R1 models it already builds there. Each R2 takes roughly 15 hours to assemble, down from 18 hours for an R1.Why the R2 Matters More Than Any Vehicle Rivian Has BuiltThe R1T pickup and R1S SUV earned Rivian a devoted following and the top spot in Consumer Reports owner satisfaction surveys. They also bled money. Rivian posted a net loss of $3.65 billion in 2025, on top of a $4.75 billion loss in 2024. The R1S starts near $75,000 (around £59,000) — a price that limits the addressable market to a sliver of American buyers."R2 is really instrumental for driving the business to positive cash flow and overall profitability," Mr Scaringe told CNBC in February. He was not exaggerating. The bill of materials for the R2 is roughly half that of the R1. Rivian slashed the number of computing units from over 60 in a traditional vehicle to seven, and cut wiring length by about two miles (3.2 km). The result is what Mr Scaringe called "a dramatic reduction in the cost structure to build it."Rivian did scrape together a positive gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 — a milestone, though the margin was wafer-thin at around 2%, compared with Tesla's 17%. The R2, with its leaner architecture and lower price, is meant to close that gap at volume. Analysts expect around 15,000 R2 deliveries in 2026, though some believe Rivian could exceed that figure. By 2027, with three full shifts running, the Normal plant could produce roughly 155,000 R2s annually.Today's Pricing: What You GetThe lineup spans four trims, all sharing an 87.9 kWh usable battery and a $1,495 destination charge. Here is how they break down:The Performance trim arrives first, this spring, at $57,990 (around £46,000) including the Launch Package. It runs dual-motor all-wheel drive with 656 horsepower, 609 lb-ft (826 Nm) of torque and a 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) time of 3.6 seconds. Highway overtaking is savage: 50–70 mph (80–113 km/h) in 1.55 seconds. EPA-estimated range sits at up to 330 miles (531 km). The Launch Package bundles lifetime Autonomy+ access, a tow package rated at 4,400 lbs (1,996 kg) and an exclusive Launch Green paint option.The Premium trim follows in late 2026 at $53,990 (around £43,000). It shares the 330-mile range and dual-motor AWD layout but dials the power back to 450 hp and 537 lb-ft. Zero to 60 takes 4.6 seconds — hardly slow.The Standard RWD Long Range arrives in the first half of 2027 at $48,490 (around £38,500). A single rear motor delivers 350 hp and 355 lb-ft, reaching 60 in 5.9 seconds. Rivian estimates range at up to 345 miles (555 km) — the longest in the lineup, because rear-wheel drive is more efficient.Finally, the Standard RWD variant lands in late 2027 at approximately $45,000 (around £35,700). It uses a smaller battery pack and offers 275+ miles (443+ km) of estimated range. Rivian has shared few other details so far.All trims charge from 10% to 80% in 29 minutes via a native NACS port, which grants access to the Tesla Supercharger network. CCS adapters are supported too.Built Lighter, Built TougherThe R2 rides on an entirely new mid-size unibody platform — a departure from the R1's body-on-frame architecture. The result is a vehicle that weighs nearly 2,000 lbs (907 kg) less than its bigger sibling while sitting on a 115.6-inch (2,936 mm) wheelbase. At 185.9 inches (4,722 mm) long and 75 inches (1,905 mm) wide, it is squarely in Tesla Model Y territory.The weight savings translate directly into agility, but Rivian has kept the off-road DNA intact. Ground clearance of 9.6 inches (244 mm) is best in class — nearly three inches more than a Model Y. Approach and departure angles of 25° and 26° respectively, plus a wading depth of 19.7 inches (500 mm), mean the R2 can do more than look adventurous in a car park. The Performance trim gets semi-active suspension, eight drive modes including Rally and Soft Sand, and a low centre of gravity courtesy of the structural battery pack.Inside, the cabin seats five adults with 40.4 inches (1,026 mm) of rear legroom and headroom — enough, Rivian says, for occupants over six feet (1.83 m) tall. Total enclosed storage is 90.1 cubic feet (2,551 litres), with a front trunk that swallows a carry-on suitcase and a backpack, fold-flat rear seats that create a level loading surface, and dual gloveboxes. The rear drop glass — a powered window that lowers completely into the liftgate — is a genuine talking point, allowing surfboards and other long cargo to slide in or a breeze to sweep through. It is included on Performance and Premium trims.Materials lean sustainable: upcycled Birch wood accents, a headliner made from recycled ocean plastics and Rivian's second-generation Adventex material, which is designed to withstand muddy boots and wet dogs in equal measure.The Technology PlayRivian calls the R2 a "software-defined vehicle," and the specification sheet backs that up. The perception stack comprises 11 HDR cameras with a combined 65 megapixels and a five-radar system — hardware that comes standard on every trim.Rivian Autonomy+, the company's Level 2+ hands-free driver-assist system, covers 3.5 million miles (5.6 million km) of roads across the United States and Canada. It costs $49.99 per month or $2,500 as a one-off purchase. The Launch Package includes it for the lifetime of the vehicle. Every R2 gets a 60-day trial.On-board AI compute runs to 200 TOPS, dedicated to the in-cabin experience. This powers the forthcoming Rivian Assistant — a voice-controlled system that processes complex requests locally, even when offline. The 5G-connected architecture ensures updates arrive over the air, while the offline capability means the vehicle is not hobbled in areas without signal.At the steering wheel, Rivian's in-house Haptic Halo dials replace conventional switchgear. These context-aware controls scroll, push, pull and tilt with distinct tactile feedback for different functions — an attempt to bridge the gap between touchscreen convenience and physical control that many rivals have abandoned entirely. Two digital displays complete the cockpit: one behind the wheel for driving data, and one in the centre for everything else.The Elephant in the Room: TeslaThe R2 lands in the most contested segment of the electric vehicle market. The Tesla Model Y — the best-selling EV on the planet and briefly the best-selling car of any kind in 2023 — starts at $44,000 in the United States and delivers up to 357 miles (575 km) of range. It has a vast Supercharger network, a mature software ecosystem and years of manufacturing refinement behind it.The R2 fights back with 3 inches (7.6 cm) more ground clearance, genuine off-road hardware, a richer interior (Model Y's cabin has always divided opinion) and that distinctive outdoor-adventure identity that Rivian has cultivated since its founding. Whether that is enough to prise buyers away from Tesla — or from the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Chevrolet Equinox EV — remains the central question.Why Failure Is Not an OptionRivian burned roughly $3 billion in the first nine months of 2025 alone. It ended 2024 with about $5.3 billion in cash, a figure being steadily eroded by capital expenditure and operating losses. The Volkswagen joint venture — worth up to $5.8 billion in total — provides a lifeline, as does the potential for Department of Energy loan access. But lifelines do not last for ever.The company's stock tells its own story. Rivian went public in November 2021 at $78 a share, briefly touched $170 and now trades around $15. A 90% decline from the peak concentrates the mind wonderfully.The R2 must do three things at once: attract a materially larger customer base than the R1 ever could, generate a positive gross margin per vehicle and ramp to volumes that spread fixed costs across enough units to bend the loss curve downward. At a planned capacity of 155,000 units per year from Normal alone — with a second factory in Georgia eventually to follow — Rivian has the industrial ambition. The Volkswagen partnership supplies software licensing revenue and engineering credibility.Mr Scaringe has described the R2 as "the most important thing that we've developed as a company." On the evidence of today's specification sheet, it is also the most complete. The range is competitive, the technology is ambitious, the price is within reach of mainstream buyers and the off-road capability gives it a personality that few electric SUVs can match.None of which will matter if Rivian cannot build it at scale, on time and at a cost that leaves room for profit. The company that once dazzled Wall Street with a $170 share price now needs to dazzle customers with a $45,000 truck. That is the harder trick — and the one on which everything depends.
