This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Tesla's Q3 earnings call, NVIDIA's strategic partnership with Uber, and GM's surprising return to autonomy under Sterling Anderson's leadership.The conversation opens with Walt's firsthand insights from Tesla's Q3 2025 earnings call, where the company confirmed plans to remove safety attendants across “large parts” of Austin by year-end after accumulating 250,000 robotaxi miles.Tesla also announced 8–10 additional markets coming online by year-end, including Florida, Arizona, and Nevada, following the company's phased rollout playbook: safety-attended operations first, followed by fully autonomous service. Grayson projects more than 300 Model Y Robotaxis operating in Austin by mid-2026, potentially joined by 25–50 Cybercabs pending NHTSA exemptions.The discussion then turns to NVIDIA's newly announced partnership with Uber, which Grayson sees as signaling something much bigger than data sharing. He suggests NVIDIA could be positioning to acquire a leading autonomous driving developer such as Wayve, mirroring its CUDA strategy where software dominance separated it from competitors.His thesis: NVIDIA will ultimately own and license an autonomy stack across the industry, creating existential risk for startups dependent on its compute. Walt explores the market dynamics and potential conflicts that arise when your chip vendor becomes your competitor, while noting that NVIDIA's brand power could simultaneously validate the entire autonomy market.The week also brought news from GM, which re-entered the autonomy race by announcing a 2028 “hands-off, eyes-off” system debuting in the Cadillac Escalade IQ. Sterling Anderson confirmed GM's staged rollout plan: highways first, urban next, then full urban autonomy.Closing out the episode, Grayson and Walt debut the Foreign Autonomy Desk, covering Baidu Apollo's partnership with Swiss PostBus, WeRide and Uber's shuttle launch in Saudi Arabia, May Mobility's strategic investment from Grab for Southeast Asia expansion, and Waymo's effort to bring UK safety advocates to California for test rides ahead of its potential London launch.Episode Chapters0:00 Tesla Q3 2025 Earnings14:58 NVIDIA's Autonomy Ambitions20:59 Avride & Uber's Autonomy Investment Strategy23:09 GM is Back in Autonomy28:46 Waymo Begins Manually Testing at EWR (Newark Airport)32:14 Foreign Autonomy DeskRecorded on Friday October 24, 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™.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers China's interference in the New York City mayoral race, the stalled government funding battle in Washington, new data showing a resilient U.S. economy, dangerous foreign truck drivers on American roads, and spy games unfolding in Silicon Valley.   China Meddles in the NYC Mayoral Race: The Chinese Communist Party is boosting socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani on TikTok while suppressing content from rival Andrew Cuomo. Bryan calls it “bonkers” that America still allows a Chinese propaganda platform to shape its elections and urges Congress to shut it down immediately.   Democrats Block Government Funding Again: The Senate has now voted twelve times to reopen the government, and twelve times Democrats have said no — rejecting a bill to pay essential workers unless new health subsidies are included. Bryan says, “They're holding America's workers hostage for political gain.”   U.S. Economy Beats Expectations: Manufacturing activity rose for the fourth straight month, and Trump's tariffs show no inflationary impact. Mortgage rates dropped to 6.19%, their lowest of the year, while consumer spending remains strong among wealthier households. Bryan warns, however, that working-class families are still struggling under high costs.   Chinese Knockoff Airbags Kill Americans: At least six people have died after counterfeit Chinese airbags exploded during crashes, sending shrapnel through vehicles. The NHTSA is investigating, with cases tied to used Chevys and Hyundais.   Foreign Trucker Crisis Deepens: Indian nationals driving illegally in the U.S. are causing deadly crashes after repeatedly failing licensing tests. Bryan reports on one driver who failed ten times but still obtained a CDL through a corrupt Washington State program.   Silicon Valley Honeypot Spies: China and Russia are planting operatives — often young women — inside Bay Area tech firms to steal AI and defense secrets through seduction and marriage. Bryan shares a chilling real-life CIA story illustrating the tactic's human toll.   AI and the Power Problem: OpenAI's massive Texas data center will now run on its own natural gas plant, while the White House expands geothermal energy projects across the West. Bryan calls it “good news for your electric bill — and bad news for America's enemies.”   Good News for U.S. Workers: Provalus, a call center company, is bringing jobs back from India to rural America, paying $40,000 salaries for customer service roles. Bryan says, “It's proof that good business and good patriotism can live in the same company.”   Medical News — Social Media and the Brain: New research shows teens who spend more time on social media score lower in reading and memory tests, suggesting digital overstimulation harms brain development.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Keywords: TikTok China interference NYC mayor race, Zohran Mamdani Andrew Cuomo, Senate Democrats block funding bill, Trump tariffs manufacturing growth, U.S. mortgage rates 6.19, Chinese counterfeit airbags NHTSA, illegal Indian truck drivers Washington State CDL, Silicon Valley honeypot spies China Russia, OpenAI Stargate Texas natural gas, geothermal energy leases Nevada Idaho, Provalus rural call centers jobs, social media brain research teenagers

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1174: Gov. Newsom vetoes a dealer doc fee hike, Tesla unleashes “Mad Max” mode amid mounting scrutiny, and Home Depot opens free training lanes to fuel America's next generation of skilled pros.Show Notes with links:California dealers were ready for a long-overdue bump to their doc fee cap, but Gov. Gavin Newsom hit the veto button — just a week after tightening dealership disclosure rules with the new CARS Act.The proposed bill would've raised the $85 doc fee cap to 1% of the sale price, up to $260.Newsom said “no,” citing affordability for consumers in an already pricey state.Dealers argue new transparency rules in the CARS Act will increase their workload — not lighten it.The CNCDA's Brian Maas called out the contradiction, saying the new law “imposes substantial advertising and disclosure burdens on dealers.”Newsom fired back that dealers shouldn't charge “hundreds more for only minutes of data entry.”While under multiple investigations for its driver-assist tech, Tesla has decided to lean into chaos — literally — by reintroducing “Mad Max” mode in its latest Full Self-Driving (Supervised) update.The FSD v14.1.2 update lets cars drive faster and change lanes more aggressively than the previous “Hurry” mode.The feature revives Tesla's 2018 “Mad Max” driving style, which Elon Musk once described as ideal for navigating Los Angeles traffic.Early users have already reported cars rolling stop signs and speeding up to 15 mph over posted limits.This comes as NHTSA runs four separate probes into Tesla's FSD and the California DMV sues over its name.As the skilled labor gap keeps growing, The Home Depot is rolling up its sleeves with Path to Pro — a nationwide program offering free training and connections to jobs in construction and the trades.PathToPro.com lays out career paths and resources for anyone interested in the skilled trades.The free, on-demand Skills Program offers virtual training in English and Spanish — no cap on enrollment.The Path to Pro Network connects jobseekers with hiring Home Depot Pros, who can post and review candidates for free.It's designed for anyone 18+ who wants to learn, upskill, or transition into construction.“We aim to help build the next generation of trades professionals,” said Jenna Arca, Home Depot's Director of Workforce Development.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/

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Tesla's FSD 14 release and Waymo's potential market expansions. The episode begins with Walt sharing his firsthand experience testing FSD 14, showcasing its breakthrough ability to autonomously back out of driveways and park at destinations with a single tap. While impressive, he notes challenges remain with driveway precision and occasional cautious, jerky driving behavior that sets this version apart from previous releases.As Tesla rolls out FSD 14, NHTSA has launched a preliminary investigation into FSD. Meanwhile, Waymo is looking to potentially expand to Minnesota, after the company hired four lobbyists as part of an effort to changes to state laws that still require human drivers in autonomous vehicles.Across the Atlantic, Sweden has approved Tesla to test FSD on public roads, a clear signal that countries are beginning to embrace autonomy. Yet, in the U.S., significant opportunities remain untapped. From Chicago to Minneapolis, Charlotte to Tampa, major metro markets still await large-scale robotaxi deployments.Episode Chapters0:00 FSD 147:30 Preliminary NHTSA Tesla Investigation 12:50 FSD Approval in Sweden 14:56 Waymo Eyes Minnesota Expansion 17:07 Potential Waymo Expansion Markets22:18 Wayve Correction 22:47 DoorDash27:05 Lyft / Tensor Auto Partnership 31:35 Aurora's Warning Triangle Waiver36:12 Next WeekRecorded on Friday October 10, 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™.

Vandaag: Ferrari herschrijft zijn elektrische strategie, Lamborghini twijfelt over zijn eerste EV, en Tesla ligt opnieuw onder vuur in de VS. 1. Ferrari’s nieuwe koers Ferrari gooit zijn elektrificatieplannen om. Waar het merk eerder mikte op 40 procent elektrische modellen tegen 2030, wordt dat nu 40 procent benzine, 40 procent hybride en 20 procent elektrisch. De eerste EV, de Elettrica, verschijnt in 2026. De auto krijgt vier elektromotoren (twee voor, twee achter) met samen meer dan 1.000 pk. De sprint van 0 naar 100 km/u duurt 2,5 seconden, de topsnelheid bedraagt 310 km/u en de actieradius zo’n 530 kilometer. Opvallend is het gewicht van 2.300 kilo, ruim 300 kilo meer dan Ferrari’s SUV. Via sensoren en versterking produceert de Elettrica bovendien een kunstmatig versterkt, ‘elektrische gitaar’-achtig geluid. 2. Lamborghini kijkt de kat uit de boom Ook Lamborghini staat op de drempel van een elektrische toekomst met de Lanzador, gepresenteerd als concept in 2023. Toch twijfelt het merk nog: wordt het een hybride of een volledig elektrische sportwagen? De keuze laat op zich wachten door de stagnerende groei van de EV-markt in het topsegment en problemen bij moederbedrijf VW en Porsche. Lamborghini volgt Ferrari daarom op de voet. Mocht de batterijversie worden uitgesteld, dan dreigt het merk minstens vijf jaar achterstand op te lopen. De beslissing over de Lanzador wordt daarmee cruciaal voor Lamborghini’s positie in het elektrische supercarsegment. 3. Tesla’s ‘zelfrijdende’ systemen onderzocht De Amerikaanse verkeerswaakhond NHTSA opent een groot onderzoek naar 2,9 miljoen Tesla’s met het zogeheten Full Self-Driving-systeem (FSD). De aanleiding: meerdere meldingen van auto’s die door rood reden en ongelukken veroorzaakten. In zes gevallen ging het mis, waarbij vier keer gewonden vielen. Volgens de toezichthouder zorgt FSD voor “rijgedrag dat in strijd is met verkeersveiligheidswetten”. Tesla presenteert het systeem als slimme hulp voor bestuurders, maar in de praktijk blijken de zelfrijdende functies allesbehalve feilloos. Het onderzoek kan grote gevolgen hebben voor de toekomst van autonoom rijden in de VS. Vanmiddag in de Autoshow Ayvens opent in Veghel ‘The Factory’, de grootste remarketinglocatie van Europa voor tweedehands leaseauto’s. We praten erover met Louis Wyers, Director Partnerships & Retail bij Ayvens Nederland. Daarnaast schuift Claire Dubbelman aan. Zij schreef autosportgeschiedenis als eerste vrouw met een wedstrijdleider-superlicentie in de Formule 1. Tot slot testen we de nieuwe elektrische Mercedes CLA: hoe rijdt deze stijlvolle EV in de praktijk?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Art of Value host JJ breaks down the news that Tesla is facing a new investigation over its Full Self-Driving (FSD) traffic violations. The NHTSA is reviewing incidents and accidents in which FSD-enabled Teslas blew through red lights or traveled the wrong way down roads. We look at some very recent examples, with the very new V14 version of FSD (Supervised) making errors while driving, while Tesla claims the new version is “almost sentient”.Related episodes:Teen Burned Alive Due To Cybertruck Design, Lawsuit Claims  https://youtu.be/eXvPEmdiGAkTesla FSD STILL Wants to Drive Into Path of Oncoming Trains https://youtu.be/YmcmASSU8FEIs Tesla Trying to Hide Robotaxi Accidents? https://youtu.be/r-3qgLmjbZcTesla Being Investigated Over Model Ys Trapping Occupants https://youtu.be/FWdVzGhNgD0Referenced article:Tesla is facing an investigation over Full Self-Driving traffic violationshttps://www.theverge.com/news/797618/tesla-nhtsa-investigation-full-self-driving-traffic-safety-violationsTo support The Art of Value channel, become a member https://www.youtube.com/@TheArtofValue/joinDisclaimer: I am not a financial adviser and nothing in this content is financial advice.

Varun Jain, Of Counsel, K&L Gates joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss why the next 15 months will define autonomous vehicle policy in America. With new leadership at NHTSA and growing interest in Congress, Varun outlines why the next 15 months will be pivotal for establishing a national autonomous vehicle framework. From updating outdated FMVSS standards to expanding autonomous vehicle testing authority, and with proposed legislation such as the Self-Drive Act, America Drives Act, and Autonomous Vehicle Acceleration Act, a comprehensive federal framework may finally be within reach.Throughout the conversation, Varun emphasizes that the momentum for autonomy is shifting from concept to mainstream adoption. He and Grayson explore how public acceptance, economic opportunity, and clear messaging can drive the next wave of policy action, comparing the potential trajectory of autonomous vehicles to the rapid regulatory turnaround that benefited crypto. The discussion underscores that safety, job creation, and U.S. competitiveness all hinge on one thing; passing a national autonomous vehicle framework that includes trucks over 10,001 pounds.Episode Chapters0:00 The Road to Autonomy Introduction0:23 Autonomous Vehicle Policy Outlook12:37 Why is Now the Time for a National Autonomous Vehicle Framework?17:31 Activating Public Engagement 23:04 Job Creation 24:45 Learning from the Crypto Industry 28:51 Messaging 31:40 What Will it take to get a National Autonomous Vehicle Framework?35:56 Managing Regulations 41:25 When go we get a National Autonomous Vehicle Framework?Recorded on Friday, September 26, 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™.

Buckle up for a high-octane exploration of automotive industry trends and challenges that are reshaping the market landscape. We dive deep into the alarming rise of "credit bust out" scams targeting dealerships, where criminals orchestrate the purchase of multiple vehicles through falsified loan applications before credit reports can catch up. One brazen example involved financing six vehicles worth $385,000 through five different lenders in just four days—a stark warning for dealers and lenders alike.The electric vehicle revolution faces a critical juncture as the $7,500 federal tax credit expires and California Governor Newsom reverses course on state subsidies. Major automakers, including GM, Toyota, and Volkswagen, are pushing back against aggressive emissions standards that would require up to 56% of new vehicles to be electric by 2032. The consensus among our hosts? Perhaps it's time for EVs to compete on their own merits without government assistance.Family drama takes center stage in Massachusetts, where brotherly love has given way to courtroom battles at a Toyota and Volvo dealership. The shocking lawsuit alleges financial misconduct, including the termination of salary and health benefits while one brother was recovering from throat cancer. Meanwhile, American Honda pulls the plug on the Acura ZDX after just one model year, and aftermarket giant First Brands Group prepares for bankruptcy with $6 billion in debt.There's encouraging news on the regulatory front as the new NHTSA administrator pledges to modernize outdated rules that hamper innovation. Plus, we highlight exciting upcoming car shows including the Painted Church Cruise and Heroes and Hot Rods Veterans Weekend.Ready to join the conversation about the future of automotive?

Description:In this episode of Kilowatt, we unpack Tesla's latest moves, from expanding its Robotaxi presence to addressing door handle issues amidst a new NHTSA probe. We also examine the departure of Tesla's Optimus AI lead and what it means for the company's robotics ambitions. Other headlines include Rivian's progress on its Georgia factory, a massive Hyundai recall, and a real-world EV range victory for Cadillac. Plus, updates on Panasonic's new battery tech and Hyundai's upcoming Tesla-style software system.Support the Showwww.supportkilowatt.comNews Links:Tesla Robotaxi is headed to a new U.S. state following latest approvalTesla Scores Win as NHTSA Adopts Performance-Based Rules for Autonomous VehiclesHyundai recalls 600,000 vehicles, including Palisade and IONIQ EVTesla's Lead of Optimus AI departs and people are confused about itPanasonic has battery that can give Tesla Model Y 450 miles of rangeHyundai's Next Act: A Tesla-Style Software System In 2026Nissan cuts Ariya electric SUV from US lineup for 2026 LEAF EVThe Cadillac Optiq Just Crushed Its EPA Range Figure In A Real-World TestTesla Wants To Make Its Doors Easier To Use In 'A Panic Situation'Tesla Launches FSD to the Public in Australia and New Zealand; Subscription Coming SoonTesla recalls Powerwall 2 over battery fire riskRivian breaks ground on the Georgia factory where it plans to build R2 and R3Tesla gets another NHTSA probe, this time related to door handlesTesla launches Cybertruck in UAE after commercial flop in the US*ART PROVIDED BY DALL-eSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/kilowatt.

The internet continues its chaotic march, with a TikTok deal potentially happening (for real this time, maybe), while LimeWire bought the Fyre Fest brand, because more viruses are always a great idea. Corporate America is going full AI-bro with massive layoffs at Fiverr, xAI, and Google, while OpenAI reveals people are using ChatGPT for pretty much everything but coding. Age verification is coming to apps and online services in California and New York, because apparently, teenagers need protection (after the fact). Elsewhere, nudists have declared war on SpaceX over rocket launches, and fans are ditching Elon since he started being so insufferable; even a Tesla engineer quit and roasted him spectacularly, all while NHTSA investigates Tesla's fire-prone door handles.In the world of entertainment, we're catching up on Wednesday and Foundation S3 (just pretend the books never existed, your brain will be rewired!), and Upload wrapped up its truncated season nicely. The 2003 Freaky Friday was a fun, nostalgic trip through early 2000s L.A., reminding us of all the cool places that are now just... gone. Alien: Earth and Gen V S2 are on our watchlist, and we'll see if Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 lives up to its promise. The Witcher S4, featuring Liam Hemsworth as Geralt (aka the Dick Switch), drops in October, with Laurence Fishburne making it somewhat palatable. The Lilith Fair documentary is peak 90s, and Meta's latest dystopian product was so bad it made the Cybertruck demo look good. Apple's new AI features are cool, but the iOS 26 "liquid glass" update and its awful crossfade feature are less so; also, meditation apparently has a dark side, but binaural beats might just make you rave. Publishers Clearing House's bankruptcy means "forever" winners won't get paid (always take the lump sum!); international sellers are charging absurd shipping to avoid American buyers; and the deepfake Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kills Darth Maul (Live Action) is surprisingly good.Steve Martin's Born Standing Up is still great life advice, and the Carrot App the Musical is, against all odds, amazing. Robert Redford has sadly passed, a legend who gave us Sneakers, and L.A.'s own Clayton Kershaw is retiring at the end of the season, a true one-team legend who deserves all the accolades.Sponsors:MasterClass - Right now, our listeners get an additional 15% off any annual membership at MASTERCLASS.com/GRUMPYOLDGEEKS.

The NHTSA said it opened an investigation into the automaker's electrically powered doors. The problem: They stop working if the vehicle's low-voltage battery fails. The NHTSA's probe will cover the 2021 Model Y, which covers an estimated 174,000 vehicles. Also, another family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against popular AI chatbot tool Character AI. This is the third suit of its kind after a 2024 lawsuit, also against Character AI, involving the suicide of a 14-year-old in Florida, and a lawsuit last month alleging OpenAI's ChatGPT helped a teenage boy commit suicide. And, LimeWire has announced that it's acquired the rights to Fyre Festival, the disastrous, influencer-fueled 2017 music festival. The newly revived company — which now acts as a NFT music marketplace rather than a file-sharing service — bought the rights for $245,000 in an eBay auction. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss the new expansion announcements from both Waymo and Tesla, framing it as a “heavyweight fight”. Waymo announced plans to expand to Denver and Seattle, with Denver set to become the first city where its fleet will include both Jaguar I-PACEs and Zeekrs. The company also gained regulatory approval to operate at the San Jose (SJC) airport, a move Grayson Brulte predicted five months ago on a previous episode.Meanwhile, Tesla opened the public waitlist for its Robotaxi app, which quickly surged up the Apple App Store charts, reaching #1 in the travel category and #8 overall among free apps.The discussion then broadens beyond the Waymo–Tesla rivalry, touching on the political headwinds Waymo faces in Seattle, NHTSA's recent regulatory changes designed to accelerate autonomous vehicle commercialization, and Torc's $660 million annual burn rate as Daimler Truck explores external funding options.Episode Chapters0:00 Waymo-Tesla Competition 5:48 Waymo's Denver Expansion 8:01 No Uber Partnership for Denver or Seattle?10:36 Waymo's Affection for Unwelcoming Cities, Including Seattle 15:24 Benefits of Autonomy 16:37 Updated NHTSA Rules19:23 Waymo Expands to San Jose Airport, Is SFO Next?24:22 Tesla Opens Robotaxi Waitlist 27:43 Highway Unlocks30:44 Avride Launching on Uber in Dallas33:16 Tensor Auto35:49 Daimler Truck is Seeking Outside Capital for Torc40:18 Next WeekRecorded on Friday, September 5, 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™.

Bobby Lee (MADtv, Bad Friends) joins us again this week for an open and honest conversation about maturing with success and learning the importance of setting boundaries to help improve your self confidence and sanity. After we talk about Coldplay we get into Bobby's uncomfortability in social situations and the humor and fibs that have been his crutch. We also talk about his bond through Bad Friends, how Hollywood is being impacted by AI, and why he wouldn't be here without the sobriety the found at a young age. Thank you to our sponsors:

Mike Herzing and Jeremy Birenbaum cover a packed episode of Let's Talk Wheels: delaminating paint on modern cars, Hertz and other dealers selling vehicles on Amazon, and a major NHTSA probe into failing Honda 3.5L V6 rod bearings. They review the opulent Range Rover Autobiography, discuss Odyssey battery care and chargers with Alan Kohler, and answer a transmission service question for a 2022 Tahoe. The show also examines EV depreciation trends and practical tips for battery and charger selection.

This week on America on the Road, we put the spotlight on two 2025 model-year vehicles that represent very different segments with wildly different powertrains but share a commitment to technology, practicality, and style — the 2025 Volvo EX40 and the 2025 Hyundai Palisade. Leading off, host Jack Nerad delivers a detailed road test of the 2025 Volvo EX40 Twin Motor Ultra. While the name may sound new, the EX40 is essentially a renamed version of Volvo's previous XC40 Recharge. This all-electric compact SUV features dual motors delivering 402 horsepower and 494 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 78 kWh battery that provides up to 275 miles of range. Its minimalist Scandinavian interior includes heated seats front and rear, a panoramic sunroof, Google-powered infotainment, and a Harman Kardon audio system. With DC fast-charging capabilities and a long list of advanced safety features, the EX40 offers luxury EV buyers a stylish and well-rounded all-wheel-drive package, but is its as-tested price of $62,045 a hill too high? Next up is co-host Chris Teague's road test of the 2025 Hyundai Palisade, a three-row SUV that's become a go-to family vehicle thanks to its spacious cabin, upscale features, and user-friendly tech. Powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine producing 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, the Palisade delivers confident performance through an 8-speed automatic transmission, available in both front- and all-wheel-drive configurations. It earns an EPA-estimated 21 MPG combined, giving it solid range for long-distance travel. Inside, the Palisade offers seating for up to seven, 18 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, and a maximum of 86.4 cubic feet with seats folded. It also tows up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. Its near-luxury feel, intuitive tech, and extensive standard safety features win it kudos from both Chris and Jack, and they'll have more in this road test. This week's special guest is Frank Hanley, Senior Director of Automotive Benchmarking at J.D. Power. Frank joins the show to break down the results of the 2025 APEAL Study, which measures how emotionally satisfying a vehicle is to own and drive. He explains which brands are connecting with owners on a deeper level and what manufacturers can learn from the data. It's an insightful and data-rich segment that pulls back the curtain on the psychology of car ownership. This week's top automotive news stories: • Chrysler Gets Rugged with the Pacifica Grizzly Peak Concept
 Chrysler has revealed an overlanding-ready concept minivan, the Pacifica Grizzly Peak, at Overland Expo Mountain West. Featuring lifted suspension, all-terrain tires, roof storage, and a reconfigured cargo area, the concept taps into the booming “van life” trend with AWD practicality. • New Tax Break Replaces EV Credit A new U.S. tax policy will let buyers deduct interest on car loans for new vehicles built in the United States, replacing the expiring $7,500 EV credit. The deduction, estimated to save buyers about $576 (roughly), applies to U.S.-made gas, hybrid, and electric vehicles purchased between 2025 and 2028, but excludes leases and used cars. • Tesla Hikes Cyberbeast Price by $15K
 Tesla has increased the price of its flagship Cybertruck variant, the Cyberbeast, to $114,990, adding a new “Luxe Package” with Full-Self Driving and Supercharger access. The move has puzzled analysts, as Cybertruck sales remain slow despite massive early demand. • NHTSA Investigates Honda, Acura Engine Failures
 Over 1.4 million Honda and Acura vehicles are under investigation for engine defects that could lead to sudden failure. The NHTSA probe focuses on V6-powered models like the Acura MDX and Honda Pilot, with more than 400 complaints filed to date. • VinFast Abandons Direct Sales Model Vietnamese EV maker VinFast is shifting away from its Tesla-style direct sales approach in the U.S. The company has opened its first franchised dealership in San Die...

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/

Join Thomas Wasson on this episode of Truck Tech as he delves into the complex world of emerging autonomous vehicle (AV) regulations with expert Adam Raviv. Adam, Global Co-Chair of Sidley's Automotive and Mobility Practice and former Chief Counsel at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), provides unparalleled insights into the current regulatory landscape for autonomous trucks and robotaxis. Discover why there's a "Wild West" of state and local rules, the implications of existing federal motor vehicle safety standards, and the critical role of safety cases in AV development. Adam breaks down how agencies like NHTSA and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) interact, creating a multi-headed regulatory challenge for companies. Learn about: The current state of federal AV regulations and the voluntary AV STEP program. Why companies are building redundant safety systems and conducting extensive third-party validations. The stark differences and unique challenges in deploying autonomous trucks versus robotaxis. The intense public scrutiny and viral potential of AV incidents, and how it shapes industry behavior. This is a must-watch for anyone in the trucking industry, autonomous technology sector, or simply interested in the future of transportation and its legal framework. #TruckTech #AutonomousVehicles #AVRegulation #SelfDrivingTrucks #Robotaxis #NHTSA #FMCSA #AutonomousDriving #TruckingIndustry #FutureOfFreight #LegalFramework #SafetyCase #AVSTEP #SidleyAustin #Mobility #CleanTransportation #Innovation #TransportationPolicy #RegulatoryAffairs #AutonomousTech Learn more about your ad choices.
