Shoot us a Text.We're up and at ‘em this Thursday morning as we report on dealer associations stepping up to help hurricane affected employees, plus we talk live with Richard Lupo of Apple Tree Honda and Acura about what it's like on the ground right now. We'll also cover how the port strike could have massive ripple effects on the supply chain and get a look inside Rove's new EV charging station.Automobile dealer associations across the U.S. Southeast have activated emergency relief funds in response to the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene, connecting with members and providing much-needed assistance.The NADA Foundation Emergency Relief Fund is coordinating with local dealer associations to assist affected employees with emergency grants up to $1,500, and NIADA has also activated its relief fund, with thousands of members impacted in Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia.This all comes as FEMA is warning that while it can handle immediate disaster relief, it lacks the funds to sustain recovery efforts through the rest of hurricane season.Richard Lupo is the Fixed Ops Director at Apple Tree Honda and Acura in Fletcher, NC, about 15 miles south of Asheville, and joins us live.The East and Gulf Coast port strike is threatening to severely disrupt the auto industry's supply chain, with delays expected to last well beyond the end of the strike. Each day of the walkout could create a weeklong backlog, impacting the industry for months."It's a multiplier effect," said Michelle Drew Rodriguez of Roland Berger, explaining how every day of lost shipping translates into significantly longer delays.Even if the strike ends soon, clearing the backlog will be challenging as all industries will be vying for limited port capacity, said Michael Robinet of S&P Global Mobility.VW's primary import ports are closed, but shipments are being diverted to Freeport, Texas, and Davisville, Rhode Island, where operations continue. If the strike continues into next week, they will consider shifting incoming shipments to the West Coast“Shifting shipments to the West Coast could be an option, but it would require a significant investment, involving rail cars and additional logistics, which comes at a steep cost," said Anu Goel, VW's EVP.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

In this insightful and special 50th UCDP episode, Zach has a conversation with industry expert and investor Steve Greenfield about the fast-changing automotive landscape. They delve into timely topics, such as electric vehicles, OEM subscription-based features, autonomous technology, and digital retail, providing valuable insights into the industry's evolution.Some of the questions asked include:Q) Steve, it's been quite a while since we last had you on the podcast, and you've accomplished some incredible things with Automotive Ventures and the Dealer Fund. For our listeners who may not be as familiar with your recent work, could you share some of the standout highlights from the past year?Q) During the pandemic, online used car dealers like CVNA took the public markets by storm, but since then, several of these online used car dealers (Vroom, Shift) are down over 90% since pandemic highs; what's the outlook for these sort of companies? From my perspective, Carmax is winning that niche right now. Q) When you look at the automotive software companies that have started raising at a seed stage post-pandemic, what are some of the interesting problems they are solving in the auto tech/mobility space? Q) I heard you speak at NADA this year, and you talked a little about the EV space; what's your perspective on some of the disruption in the service side of the auto industry, specifically BEV and over-the-air updates? Q) Autonomous tech has been a hot topic in the industry for over a decade; at one point, Elon predicted we would have 1M Tesla Robotaxis by 2020; from your view, where are we with autonomous tech? Q) ChatGPT has become the fastest-growing consumer software product to date. As an investor, what are your thoughts on AI's potential implications not only for auto software products but also from a (data) inventory pricing or trade appraisal perspective? Q) Saas and Subscriptions are eating the world. When BMW announced features like heated seats were to be sold to consumers on a subscription model, it created a lot of buzz. What's your perspective on subscription features in a car, and what does that mean for the used car side of the business once that new car with a subscription is sold to the next buyer? Q) Digital retail was a big buzzword during the pandemic, and there was a lot of interest from dealers on how they could sell inventory online via one of these tools. Roadster was a big winner of this movement, but some of the other DR tools have since then shuttered; what's the next iteration of DR in this industry beyond the e-commerce widget?   Q) What headwinds do you see coming down the pipeline for traditional new and used car dealerships? Q) What automotive innovation are you most excited about that you saw at CES this year? Q) You are closing a fund at the end of the month; tell us about that and how accredited investors can join. (If allowed / ok to ask) Q) Lastly, you are an amazing speaker and a Delta million miler which means your 2nd home may be a Delta One plane seat; what are some upcoming industry events dealers or allied industry listening can see you speak at?Listen to our other podcast episodes: https://www.sellyautomotive.com/podcastTranscribe of this podcast - https://blog.sellyautomotive.com/blog/steveg/april2023

“How many times have you gone to the desk and, for not having a signature on the paper, they throw the paper at your face. You're going to tell me that if you're really bought into creating customer experience and doing things differently, you're not going to get your managers to fall in line? Bull shit.” -Herb Anderson Bill Elizondo is back. His experience in the BHPH industry goes back more than 30 years. Currently serving as a NIADA 20 Group Moderator, Bill offers insights on strategic growth and development and explains the importance of joining a Group.

Scott is sought after for his expertise and insight into the Independent Automobile industry as well as his small business acumen. Vendor Partners

The State of Automotive with NIADA “Automotive customers are being pushed down the credit funnel. If they could qualify on the retail side with a 650-680, now that paper is being turned away, so they have to go with the Independent or the buy-here-pay-here sector.” -Herb Anderson Collectively, the NIADA moderators — Ben Goodman, Bill Elizondo, and Ed Curry — bring more than 100 years of experience to the table, working on almost every level of the car business. Join us for an engaging conversation about the great year buy-here-pay-here is anticipating. Vendor Partners

For today's episode, we had interesting financial talks with Justin Osburn of Automotive Reinsurance Concepts.Justin is a former executive automotive dealer consultant, trainer and retail 20 Group Moderator for NIADA (National Independent Automotive Dealers Association). The NIADA bestowed the honor on Justin of rewriting its Certified Master Dealer Certification curriculum. He traveled the country each week helping dealership owners and executives navigate to increased profitability.   Justin was a former sales manager, general manager, and co-owner of three independent dealerships, and COO for a three-point, 12 Missouri franchise operation. He has been called the “King of Cars,” a title well-earned during three years of retail-consulting throughout the US for the National Independent Automotive Dealers Association. There, he specialized in high-level, operational profitability.  His 17 years of car-business experience, primarily executive-level across the independent and OEM automotive industry, is the cornerstone for his sought-after ability to identify and analyze operational choke-holds in automotive clients' financial statements. Indeed, it converges on everything surrounding Automotive Reinsurance Concept's stellar reputation today.   Justin has served in the US Army and as a director on numerous company boards. He has been elected to public offices, holds an international patent, is a dynamic public speaker and published author. In 2016, Justin co-authored an internationally-patent-protected device to stop, slow or thwart active shooters in schools and other facilities. In that same year he published his first book.

We have some work to do this Thursday as we cover the FTC declining of the deadline for public comment on proposed legislation. We also cover the barrage of negative dealer coverage on YouTube. We're also going to take a look at EV adoption data. FTC declined all requests in a unanimous 5-0 vote for extending the time for public comment on proposed regulations for Auto Dealers leaving the end date at Sept 12thNADA, NAMAD, NIADA and others requested extensions due to the sweeping nature of the proposed regulations, the fact that there was no prior discussion when they were announced, and also due to there being no meaningful data to review on such a short timeframeNADA regulatory affairs Senior Vice President Paul Metrey wrote in a July 18 letter, "Any attempt to provide the Commission with meaningful data, information, and perspective on these massive inquiries will require considerably longer than the 60-day comment periodNADA CEO Mike Stanton wrote in a letter:"The FTC's refusal to grant a routine extension of a public comment period, particularly for a proposed rule of such sweeping magnitude that involved no advanced notice, further displays an unnecessary and misguided rush to judgment in this matter. This proposed rule would cause great harm to consumers by significantly extending transaction times, making the customer experience much more complex and inefficient, and increasing prices, and NADA again urges the FTC to go back to the drawing board before forcing a series of unstudied and untested mandates lacking evidence that will have such significant negative impacts on customers."Here is a popular consumer advocacy YouTube channel's response to those statements .
