Shoot us a Text.Episode #1012: Today we're talking about Lithia Motors' internal challenge to boost service growth, FM Capital's $240M bet on auto tech startups—with strong dealer backing, and the mounting issues facing Tesla's Cybertruck.Show Notes with links:Facing underperformance in its service and parts growth, Lithia Motors is turning inward, challenging its frontline teams to raise the bar and reclaim momentum in a key revenue area.Lithia's Q4 same-store service and parts revenue grew 3.4%, falling short of peers like Sonic (10%) and Penske (6.2%).CEO Bryan DeBoer emphasized it's not a technician shortage, but a “mindset issue” among service advisers and managers.The company is expanding its Partners Group program to include department managers, offering stock incentives tied to higher performance standards.COO Adam Chamberlain sees aftersales as a major 2025 growth driver, but warns current operations sacrifice customer pay for warranty work.DeBoer: “There's been way too soft of management and lip service... Sixty to 90 days is our new mantra,”Venture firm FM Capital has closed its fourth fund at $240 million, aiming to fuel retail and mobility tech across the auto industry—with major backing from dealership groups.The fund surpassed its $200M target despite a tough venture capital environment.Investments will target AI, fleet tech, autonomy, connectivity, and energy transition.125 investors participated, including 56 dealership groups representing over 1,100 stores. Holman and Cox Automotive returned as key backers in this round.Chase Fraser, Managing Partner of FM Capital: “Dealerships really respect entrepreneurs because they are entrepreneurs themselves. They want to get involved. They want to mentor some of these entrepreneurs. They want to test their products. They want to give them feedback because who knows better than the user?”Tesla's Cybertruck is facing a brand-new problem—its maker doesn't want it back. Owners looking to trade in their trucks are getting turned away, exposing deeper trouble for the high-profile pickup.Tesla is reportedly refusing to accept Cybertrucks as trade-ins, citing resale struggles and declining demand.The company has a backlog of nearly 2,400 unsold units worth $200M, with used values down 55% year-over-year.Some frustrated owners are resorting to Lemon Laws just to offload the vehicle.Other dealers are low-balling owners or avoiding Cybertrucks altogether due to market instability.A Cybertruck recall this year revealed that only 46K of the vehicles have been delivered so far.Join hosts Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier 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/

Este primer fin de semana de motor - si exceptuamos al Dakar - nos ha dejado mucha emoción, muchos cambios de guión y un récord. El Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 nos habla en este segundo episodio de la semana del Rally de Montecarlo y de la primera gran carrera de resistencia del año, Daytona. Ogier: 10 Montecarlos. La verdad es que hemos tenido un Montecarlo de esos que lo tienen todo: algo de nieve, hielo, lluvia, hielo negro, asfalto en seco. Impresionante, la verdad. Además, han emergido algunas figuras inesperadas, que son una gran noticia para la temporada que tenemos por delante. Ogier en el Olimpo, por supuesto, pero Fourmaux ha dejado una brutal impresión en Hyundai (fue el mejor de la marca coreana), lo mismo que Evans que sale como el piloto con más puntos de los que harán todo el Mundial. Rovanpera estuvo agazapado, pero si se mira la clasificación final del rally vemos que fue muy listo y sacó petróleo del domingo. Munster, a pesar de un accidente que tuvo el domingo, hizo un rally sorprendente para lo que podíamos esperar. En cuanto a equipos, doblete de Toyota ¿y desastre de Hyundai? Sólo es el primer Rally y todos están midiendo sus fuerzas, más en un terreno tan impredecible como Montecarlo. Daytona: carrera de resistencia de las de verdad. En el otro lado del charco, en Daytona, tuvimos una carrera de resistencia de las de verdad. 24 horas que acabaron con las últimas vueltas, volviendo a ganar Penske y Felipe Nasr junto a Vanthoor y Tandy. El capitán (Roger Penske) puede estar muy contento y sólo le falta Le Mans. Los españoles tuvieron muy mala suerte. Palou tuvo muchos problemas mecánicos, pero al menos, Juncadella y García quedaron 2ºs en la categoría Pro de los GTs. En resumen, lo que más nos gustó, la igualdad entre los equipos, que llegaron a la última hora de carrera separados por apenas unos segundos.

He explains the differences between driving an IndyCar, which he says requires a lot of aggression to maneuver, with the  state of the art GTP, which needs a softer touch. He also gives admiration to his Meyer Shank teammate Tom Blomqvist, who excels behind the wheel of the GTP and closed in on Team Penske in the final laps to nearly bring home the victory. Conor and Tom dig into MSR's new technical alliance with Chip Ganassi Racing and how the teams have been operating together. They also look forward to the 2025 season and Felix lays out some goals he has for the upcoming year.

He also enjoys having lunch with different team members as he believes food brings people together and the conversations are informative.Brad and Kelley discuss the difficulties of being an owner and driver and when you have to wear one hat or the other.

Brad also reveals good qualities he's picked up from other team leaders in the past that inform the way he performs at RFK, and how it's important to know the costs of everything the team needs to operate.
