Polaris' Chief Customer Growth Officer talks with The Current Podcast about how many of the company's customers are multicultural and have preferred style over performance. Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.[00:00:59] Damian: I'm [00:01:00] Damian ​Fowler.[00:01:05] Ilyse: And I'm Ilyse Liffreing. And[00:01:07] Damian: welcome to this edition of The Current Podcast.[00:01:09] Ilyse: This week, we're delighted to talk with Pam Kermisch, the Chief Customer Growth Officer at Polaris. [00:01:15] Damian: Polaris was founded 70 years ago with the invention of the early snowmobile in 1954. Polaris takes its name after the North Star, and it's meant to reflect the location of the company's first headquarters in northern Minnesota. [00:01:34] Ilyse: These days, Polaris is the global industry leader in power sports. Offering everything from Indian motorcycles to its off road racers. And all the accessories that go with them.[00:01:44] Damian: During the pandemic, the brands saw a surge of interest in its vehicles as people embraced outdoor activity. Although it started out as a specialized brand, it continues to build on its popularity through its marketing campaign. Think outside. [00:02:03] Pam: Back in 1954, two brothers and a best friend decided they way, faster to get to their location. And they literally strapped a motor to the back of a sled and created the first snowmobile. It was ingenuity at its best. [00:02:20] And when I think about Polaris today, We have recreational vehicles. We have motorcycles. We have off road vehicles. We have boats. We also have utility vehicles that help people do work smarter. And at the end of the day, it's really about getting people outside and helping to have a better way to do things, whether it's working smarter or on the recreational side, having the most epic experiences with your friends and family.[00:02:47] Ilyse: Very nice. Now in 2019, the brand actually underwent a new rebranding with a new Think Outside campaign. [00:02:56] Ilyse: I read that there is a goal to basically grow the base [00:03:00] by 50 percent by tapping into your existing base and finding new customers as well. What was your strategy around that and how has it played out to this point?[00:03:11] Pam: Yes. So in 2019, We really took a look at talking to our existing customers, talking to potential intenders of our brands and talking to people we thought might be interested in what we offer. And we did some great consumer research. And what we learned is at the heart of it, we tapped into what they really care about.[00:03:35] And what we found is what our current existing owners care about. More people could care about. We just had to find the right people. We had to reach out to them. We had to show them how this could fit into their lives and introduce them to our brand. And it's really been a  huge effort the past few years. To find the right people and show them how this could fit in with what they  already do and make it better. And on top of bringing in more new customers, it's also bringing in new people that look a little different than our core customers.[00:04:11] Damian: Very interesting, because when you think what sell in a way, kind of very specialized, I don't know whether I'd it niche. [00:04:22] Pam: you know, I think when you look at household penetration off road vehicles, for example, household - So you're right. It's not something where it's 70, 80, 90 percent of the market has one of these. But what I will say is if you think about some of the audiences. We do attract people love outdoor recreation. love being outside. They love adventure. They might do camping, they might do hiking, they might do fishing. We also think about the people who do property maintenance They're farmers, they're ranchers, They're hunters. So, when you think about those populations, they are much more likely to buy our products. But if you look at the penetration even within those, We don't have 80 90 percent of hunters, so there's still so much penetration opportunity within people who do the activities where it seems like they would really benefit from something that we could offer them. [00:05:26] Damian: Was there a moment when you realized there was the potential to expand the audience? That's so interesting to me and I wonder how you found that opportunity.[00:05:40] Pam:  So I'm kind of a nerd, self admittedly kind of a nerd. And I really think that CRM and data and analytics played a huge role in this journey because prior to [00:06:00] having that type of capability, we actually didn't know how many customers we had. We had customers for decades, but we actually didn't know how many customers. We knew how many units we had sold, but units does not equal customers because you have people who have owned more than one over time. So going back a handful of years, we were able to Get CRM, take our data in, cleanse the data, de dupe our, people and, understand how many customers we had and set some goals and start measuring how many new customers came in each year.[00:06:35] And when I say new customers, some were brand new to the category. Some had owned competitive vehicles before, but never bought from Polaris.[00:06:45] Pam: some may have owned a used Polaris vehicle, but had never bought new from us. So It's not a flash in the pan sort of thing. This is a strategy that we really need to go after. And so it became very intentional to, of course, as the global leader, it's in our best interest to get existing customers and come back to buy again because we have the largest number of existing customers. But we also need to focus on bringing in new people and we've proven we can do it. So let's do it. [00:07:17] Ilyse: And that first party data is huge to any brand. How is Polaris is actually getting your first-party data from customers? Can you explain that shopper journey a little bit? And may how that journey may be different from a traditional auto dealer.[00:07:31] Pam: And Absolutely. So if you buy a car. It has to be warranty registered. So that manufacturer will know that you bought a car from them. So if anything should go wrong with warranty, that they are able to contact you. Very similar, when someone buys one of our vehicles and it gets warranty registered, we receive the customer information.[00:07:54] And we certainly can use third party data to append that, but we know who owns that vehicle. [00:08:00] We also do have people who visit our website. In our dealerships, the majority of them, we call them multi line dealerships. So, they do sell Polaris, but they also may sell Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Can Am. And so, you think of it very to being grocery store being in a cereal aisle, where you have all the competitors right there in the same you may think you're going to the cereal aisle to buy Frosted Flakes and Flip and buy multigrain cheerios. [00:08:32] Pam: A customer can come to our dealership thinking they're going to buy a Polaris Ranger and that salesperson can flip to a Can Am Defender. And so when you think about it, it is in our best interest with marketing to try to get that customer as committed to which brand and which product they want as early in the journey as possible to make sure that they can't get flipped at the last minute at the dealership. [00:08:59] Ilyse: You know, when it comes to digital marketing, because it's such a niche product, are there specific digital channels you've found to have more potential to reach the type of consumers you're trying to reach? [00:09:20] Pam: You know, I would say it's less about it being one particular channel because at the end of the day, our, our customers are, they're all over the place [00:09:31] in terms of their habits, their consumption habits, and whatnot. They're [00:09:34] regular people. But what's more important to us is understanding the people who buy our products. So we do have our owners. We know who our owners are. [00:09:44] And we can do third party data appending, we can do look alike modeling to understand. We can't afford to go after maybe everyone who loves the outdoors. That wouldn't make financial sense. We may not be able to afford to go after everyone who owns one or two or [00:10:00] five acres of property or more around the country or the world. But what we can do is do look alike modeling and use that data with our media partners to try to get more narrowed in on: Who are the right hunters that we should be going after? Who are the right type of landowners? And part of it is not only being able to find the right people but understanding which populations which segments came to our ones ended up buying, and using that info to continually optimize. But also, lot of really, smart things these days where using our current inventory and using that our media to be able to reach out to the right show them this sportsman that you looked at recently is available right now at this dealer down the block and trying to [00:11:00] drive urgency there or using other types of data that we might have.[00:11:04] whether they think they're shopping or not at that moment in time. [00:11:08] Damian: I wonder how you're connecting this because adventure tourism is a big deal right. And that's a growig market. Is that something you're growing into? [00:11:18] Pam: I, I Yes. So, several years ago we started something called Polaris Adventures. So certainly places rented off road vehicles in the past, but oftentimes they were the old ones kind of broken down and it was really important to us from a brand perspective. We're talking about if you're gonna do something from a brand perspective, build your brand. We wanted to make sure people were in the current vehicles, the most modern ones and the ones that we knew were going to give them the best experience. So we created something called Polaris Adventures. And you can go online and you can find Polaris Adventures and you can go to one of 270 locations. [00:12:00] 268 of them are in the United States.[00:12:01] One is in Mexico. One's in New Zealand. And you can rent a Polaris Side by Side Razor. You can rent a Polaris Slingshot, which is a three wheel roadster. Think of a Batmobile. It looks like a Batmobile. it rides on road. You can rent an Indian motorcycle if you ride motorcycles. And so you can do that in all of these different markets. And I'll tell you, even though I work at the company, I have used Polaris Adventures. I've ridden in the dunes in Oregon. I've ridden in the desert in Arizona and Mexico. I've ridden in the mud trails of West Virginia, and all, all kinds of other markets. In each one of those is a different experience because the terrain is very different. [00:12:42] Rock crawling in is completely different being in the and is completely different than being different than dunes in a [00:12:59] Pam: It's an [00:13:00] amazing way to people experience it. And you know what? Not all go buy one some will never buy one. Some may buy maybe at a time in life when it fits them better. And others may just put it in their Instagram feed. And guess what? I promise this. If you were to do this activity and you were to put it, in your Instagram feed, it is the best FOMO ever. All of your friends are, you know, texting. Where are you? What are you doing? and they want a piece of that. So I think it's highly relevant in today's world. And I think we're just playing a part of this growing travel market. [00:13:36] Ilyse: So, much fun. have fOMO right now. just even talking about and you know, it's [00:13:48] Ilyse: You described your family not as the stereotypical sports kind of family, and I would imagine there's a bunch of Polaris customers that wouldn't qualify as the stereotypical power sports types of people. Are there any types of segments that you wouldn't expect that are interested in power sports vehicles?[00:14:00][00:14:08] Pam: So it's interesting if you think about maybe what you would expect to think about from traditional power sports customers. You know, you might think older white male and historically, maybe that's how the category had been, particularly with ATVs and whatnot. Like I said, half of our customers now are younger women multicultural. So let's blow that up right now. But what I will say is going back a number of years ago, We created a product called the slingshot Polaris slingshot.[00:14:40] And like I said, it's a three wheeled vehicle. It rides on road. it's 5. 5 inches from the ground, open air cockpit. and it's very auto like, right? So now you can actually, get one that is automatic or manual. And, When we started with this vehicle, we assumed it was gonna be about performance because that's what a lot of power sports customers like.[00:14:59] [00:15:00] And if you look at it, it kind of looks aggressive, so it looks like it's gonna go super fast. We marketed it. We even did demos on racetracks because it was all about performance. And it was doing okay, not phenomenal. And we actually looked at the data, and the data showed we had a much higher percentage of multicultural customers who own this vehicle, and that was really not typical of the industry.[00:15:25] So we did consumer insights research to understand what brought them to Slingshot, why did they love it, and what we found was they weren't coming in because of performance. It was the style that really appealed to them and they loved that when they drove around in this slingshot heads turned.[00:15:42] And when we said there's something to this, let's start marketing that way. First of all, I think the brand is 40 plus percent multicultural customers today. But on top of that, the white customers that are buying this love style, [00:16:00] The personalization. They love the same what's interesting is when you go slingshot meetups, a lot local groups, clubs that have organized and they all get together. [00:16:10] When you at [00:16:13] Damian: has [00:16:14] Pam: diverse group of people you've ever seen. You multicultural, old, young, it might not be a group of people you ever would have imagined congregating, but they are loving each other and checking out each other's slingshots and talking about getting together and how much they love it.[00:16:32] And it's this common community that has brought these people together. And so I think we've learned some great lessons about. Sometimes you think you know, and one of the number one rules of marketing is, you know, you don't know, don't make assumptions. You need to actually listen to customers, learn from them and be willing to adapt. And that's been an awesome learning and really opened our eyes to opportunity within power sports. [00:16:57] Ilyse: that's a [00:16:57] good [00:16:58] Pam: the [00:17:00] things and to these there's of that look [00:17:11] Damian: vehicles. And then that goes out on social [00:17:13] Pam: is [00:17:13] Damian: that a whole [00:17:16] Pam: know, white Absolutely. You know what? You know what? Here's what I will tell you. Going back, I joined Polaris in 2015 and we had done some research on the Indian motorcycle brand and the path to purchase and[00:17:32] back then, the number one way that people came in on the brand was word of mouth. And that's been probably for centuries and for decades, it's word of mouth. [00:17:43] Pam: And in motorcycles, it might been, know, yes, your friends and family, but go to a truck stop and someone else there and you're checking out their bike you're asking they ask you how you like it. The beautiful thing today that definitely still happens a lot. But with digital[00:18:00][00:18:00] Ilyse: kind [00:18:00] Pam: learn from and share with. People they don't even know. And so you see people when they're shopping for a vehicle, they will ask, how do you like yours? What do you like? What don't you like? And it's authentic word of mouth. And so from a brand perspective, if you create something wonderful and people love it and you make them feel valued and appreciated as customers, then hopefully they're the ones out there selling for you. [00:18:28] Ilyse: You know, you mentioned social media, and typically, at least, the younger generation are on social media. Is it more difficult to inspire those younger generations. They're known for being tied to their technology, I know the pandemic at least many people looked to go outside more. Now that it's more safe, is it harder to inspire those generations to think outside?[00:19:03] Pam: I don't think so. what I will say is getting outside with friends and family and sharing experiences. is something people, especially our younger people love to do. I think a lot of our younger customers will tell you that if they're new to the workforce or if they're in school, you know, they feel handcuffed to their responsibilities. [00:19:26] Sometimes when you get outside, you put the phone in the glove box and you go out for a ride and you just you turn the tunes on. You have a great time. You'll get back to the phone later. No question. And you're going to stop and capture a lot of content and share with your friends on on Snapchat and whatnot.[00:19:42] But it is 100 percent about sharing experiences, and they love that. But I will tell you, going back in time, Innovation has always fueled our category. That's just the new news. People always want the newest, latest thing. And for a long time, it was power, horsepower. Is it more [00:20:00] CCs? Is it, you know, bigger, better, stronger, faster? I will tell you, technology is playing a very large role now in what people are choosing to shop for. [00:20:10] So, a couple proof are, we have something called Ride Command. So, I want you to think about it. If you were off roading or going on a snowmobile ride, you're not on roads. And a lot of times you lose cell service out there. One of the biggest fears people have is getting lost. You're out there in the middle of the woods and you get lost. You're out there in the middle of the desert dunes, you get lost. We have ride command technology that the maps will work even when your cell phone service doesn't work. And that's super helpful. It also has a, capability ride. So say I out with different,[00:20:46] Ilyse: probably [00:20:48] Pam: we want to ride together, but I don't want to ride so close that I'm inhaling your dust or your exhaust. So we out, but you might come to a fork in the road and take a left and I go to the right. Now we lose each other. [00:21:00] That's not fun either. The ride command has a group ride function where I can see all the other razors in my group. So we can ride together. I'm doing air quotes, but we can separate. And then I still know where everyone is. So technology, it's not technology for technology's sake. It's actually making the ride experience better. And I think that is extremely relevant to our younger customers.[00:21:29] called group go five [00:21:32] Ilyse: sales climb. as, as more [00:21:43] Pam: want to spread for sure. You know, well, at my house, you know, at least in the beginning, I was Clorox wiping the groceries. So I think we all kind of have vague memories of those days and. Life wasn't very fun because you were trapped inside unless you could go outside on a walk or do something. And we saw our [00:22:00] business really sore because on one hand, from a recreational standpoint, it was something that you could do safely outside and actually think about off road riding. You could be riding with a bunch of friends and you could each be in your own vehicle. So you were safe. You're wearing a helmet. I spent that first summer of 2020. A lot of weekends out on our boat and out there, the world felt normal. So for sure we saw sales surge. [00:22:27] And we were concerned, though, thinking, Okay, this is great. But when people have other options to spend their money on, are they gonna just trade in all these vehicles and flood the market? And suddenly we're not gonna have a sustainable, you know, healthy business that we've been having. It's not the case.[00:22:47] We actually look very much at our repurchase rates, and we look at short term one year. We look at three year. We look at five year. We look at 10 year. When you look at the one and three year repurchase rates, they are [00:23:00] very healthy and the five year repurchase rate is very, very strong, which tells you that the customers we brought in in 2020, 2021, they aren't just abandoning.[00:23:12] They actually have found something that really works for them and they're continuing to come back and buy again. [00:23:18] And by the way, they're going to tell their friends and family. So we believe that, It's a, good example of I always say never waste a crisis. pandemic was tough for a lot of reasons, but it certainly gave our business a boost and brought in a lot of new customers. And it seems like it's a very healthy population we in.[00:24:36] Damian: That's it for this edition of The Current Podcast.

¿Qué pasa si le quitas una rueda a un coche? No, no me refiero a quitar una rueda a tu coche sino a diseñar un coche con solo tres ruedas… ¡que hay muchos! Pues depende de la habilidad de los ingenieros, porque te aseguro que de estos 10 coches de tres ruedas, alguno, te va a gustar. La primera pregunta que seguro que te haces es, ¿Por qué voy a quitar una rueda a un coche? ¿Qué ventajas tiene? ¿No son peligrosos? La principal razón es la económica, la contamos en un vídeo que se titula “30 microcoches, la imaginación al poder”. Muchos eran de estos coches nacidos en la post guerra eran de tres ruedas por la sencilla razón de ahorrar y simplificar. Sobre todo, si la rueda motriz en única, por supuesto, la trasera, además de una rueda te ahorras el diferencial, los palieres, muchos rodamientos… Y si el precio ajustado es lo principal, es un buen argumento. Pero… no vamos a hablar de microcoches sino de coches de verdad, pequeños, muchos sí, pero coches serios y de verdad. Los ingleses tienen mucho que ver con los coches de 3 ruedas. Si lo piensas bien, tenía su lógica. Por un lado, desde hacía mucho tiempo, y gracias sobre todo a Morgan, los triciclos eran algo frecuente. Y por otro lado ese endiablado clima, neblinoso, frío, húmedo, con abundancia de lluvia y de viento, no era lo mejor para ir en motor… había que ayudar a los ciudadanos a pasar de la moto al coche, aunque fuese de tres ruedas. A la sombra de estas normativas destacó la marca Reliant, quizás los coches de tres ruedas más populares en todos los sentidos. 1. Reliant Regal (1953) El nombre Reliant ha estado ligado a los coches de tres ruedas desde su nacimiento en 1935 y cuenta con muchos modelos que podrían estar en esta lista. 2. Bond Bug (1970) Para los fieles y observadores una aclaración: El Bond está a caballo entre los micro coches y los coches… Tenía un motor 4 cilindros de 700 cm3 y 29 CV que le permitían sobrepasar los 120 km/h. pero con una sola rueda delantera su estabilidad no era muy allá… 3. Reliant Robin (1973) De todos los Reliant de tres ruedas el Robin es el más conocidos. Muchos dicen que por su aparición en Top Gear, pero yo soy de otra opinión: Es que, en sus diversas versiones, se fabricó… ¡durante un período de 30 años! 4. Badsey Bullet (1981) La primera originalidad de este coche no es su estética, muy original, es que es sudafricano… algo no muy habitual. La segunda que, según su creador, Bill Badsey podía alcanzar una velocidad máxima redonda de 200 mph… o lo que es lo mismo, 322 km/h. ¡Miedo da pensarlo! Supongo que de ahí el nombre de “bala Badsey”. 5. Morgan 3 Wheeler (2012) La marca Morgan nació haciendo triciclos haya por el año 1909. Pero es que sigue haciéndolos. El Three Wheeler es el triciclo por antonomasia y se ha vuelto a poner de moda entre otras cosas gracias a sus apariciones en Top Gear, y otros programas de motor, donde hablaban maravillas de las sensaciones al volante de este modelo, muy estable gracias a la anchura de vías delantera. 6. Egochine B (2014) A veces los diseñadores, cuando quieren vender un diseño, “flipan” un poquito. Antes de que veas el coche te digo que su diseñador Paolo De Giusti quería crear un coche de diseño retro-futurista inspirado en una cuchilla de afeitar… tela… vamos a ver el coche ahora… ¿Qué te parece? 7. Elio P5 (2015) Presentado en el Salón de Los Ángeles de 2015, probablemente no llegue a comercializarse, debido a los problemas financieros de Helio Motors, pero este triciclo con tres ruedas, dos puertas y dos plazas dispuestas en tándem, nació con la ambiciosa intención de cambiar la movilidad de los norteamericanos. 8. Morgan UK1909 (2016) Morgan quiere seguir en la brecha con sus triciclos y para eso hay que actualizarlos… ¿cómo? ¡Pues haciéndolos eléctricos! Este nuevo UK1909 de Morgan Motor es el primer triciclo eléctrico de la marca tras 107 tras más de 100 años. 9. Vanderhall Venice Roadster (2016) Este coche está fabricado en los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica…¿he dicho coche? Pues no es del todo cierto, porque en unos estados de USA es un coche y en otros, como el de California, está considerado legalmente como una moto... ¡Estos yanquis! 10. Polaris Slingshot (2023) Este aparato, si quieres, te lo puedes comprar mañana mismo. Muchos conocéis a la marca Polaris como un fabricante especializado en motos de nieve y quads, para ahora también hace coche, aunque sean de tres ruedas… Bonus track: Messerschmitt KR-202 Sport (2022) Para nuestro extra hemos escogido un coche de tres ruedas que, supuestamente, va a ser fabricado en España. Y es que un grupo de ingenieros alemanes afincados en Nerja (Málaga). Coche del día. ¿Es un coche, es una moto? No sé, pero el Carver One es raro de narices. Porque es de tres ruedas, se conduce con manillar, se inclina… pero solo la rueda delantera.

The Slingshot, a three-wheeled street vehicle made by ATV, snowmobile, and side-by-side manufacturer Polaris, blurs the lines between a motorcycle and car. With its single rear drive wheel and an open-air cabin lacking both a roof and doors, the Slingshot positions itself to be an action-packed alternative to weekend cruisers like the Mazda Miata, traditional motorcycles, or any number of classic cars (think Plymouth Barracuda, Road Runner, and Chevrolet Nova).

Ahh yes, finally back to a normal episode of talking about boring cars and how good or not good they are. This week, we had the pleasure of spending time in the 2022 Chevy Silverado High Country with the refreshed interior. And we'd both pick it over an F-150. We also had a VW Passat, and while it's good, it's also dead, so it doesn't matter. This week, we're getting a BMW iX M60 which should be fantastic as well as an Audi Q3 which is okay. And we're picking up a Polaris Slingshot which should be...interesting. Enjoy!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/daily-motor-podcast/donations

Maddie and her girlfriend rented a Polaris Slingshot for a day and decided to take a day trip to Zion! A few rocks off the head might have been one of the bigger issues they faced, but not the WORST. 

This edition of Brembo RED with Dan Sandberg features Jason Stein of SiriusXM's Cars and Culture talking about podcasts vs. print media and the future of EVs, Chris Sergeant, Polaris' VP talking about the increasing popularity of the Slingshot and Stephen Nasse, Late Model racer, who discusses track etiquette and doing it in the dirt. Jason Stein, former publisher of Automotive News, started in radio and now is back with his SiriusXM show “Cars and Culture.” Stein is still breaking news and learned recently why you should be careful when asking Jay Leno why he doesn't own a Ferrari. He also tells RED why it's going to take some time for North American consumers to warm up to electric vehicles and why many current manufacturers may not survive the EV transition. Sergeant shares his journey from being a Naval Nuclear Submarine Officer to being the czar of the unique three-wheeled Polaris Slingshot. He explains how this “auto-cycle” provides the same “visceral experience” of a motorcycle without the “two-wheeled anxiety.” Stephen Nasse, the popular Late Model racer who runs 30+ races a year from Miami to Maine talks about respect on the track and how he “races how you want to be raced” and why he has used Brembo stopping power for years. He also talks about his aspirations to “maybe” running in NASCAR someday.

The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz is a new vehicle type that is part crossover SUV, part pickup truck, and part sports sedan. It's blazing a trail of its own although the 2022 Ford Maverick is a fast-follower in the space, and the two should duke it out in the next few years for supremacy in the segment. In this week's episode of America on the Road we take you behind the scenes of that confrontation in an interview with Trevor Lai, the product planner for Hyundai in charge of the development of the Santa Cruz. He tells us how the project began, the challenges it faced, and how quickly it was able to come together. And he explains the many innovative features of the Santa Cruz including its locking roll-top truck bed tonneau. With its available turbocharged engine, the Hyundai Santa Cruz offers tons of driving enjoyment, as both Host Jack Nerad and Co-Host Chris Teague can attest from their recent road tests of the vehicle. In the news segment Mercury Insurance warns electric car owners that they should consider changing the insurance policies to reflect the special circumstances of owning an EV. Recent EV fires and a major General Motors EV recall give additional credence to that suggestion. On the road test docket this week are the Polaris Slingshot and the Lexus RX 450h. Co-host Chris Teague put the Slingshot through its paces in a rigorous test in Maine. Summer in New England was the perfect venue for testing this open-air three-wheeler that acts more like a motorcycle than a passenger car. On the other side of the country, Host Jack Nerad tested the hybrid-powered Lexus RX 450h crossover SUV. The Lexus RX is a market leader in the segment, and the 450h and its seamless operation did nothing to make Nerad question the overall verdict of consumers. But is the 450h the one to choose? Or does the smart money choose the RX 350 and its conventional power? We'll have the answer.

Nio Vs. XPeng Vs. Li Auto — How Q1 Deliveries Stacked Up Rivian's EV service plans include remote diagnosis and on-site repairs Would You Buy Aptera’s Three-Wheeled EV If It Had a Range of 1,000 Miles?     Show #1040   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Friday 2nd April. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.     TESLA DELIVERS RECORD CARS IN Q1 2021   From Tesla: "In the first quarter, we produced just over 180,000 vehicles and delivered nearly 185,000 vehicles. We are encouraged by the strong reception of the Model Y in China and are quickly progressing to full production capacity. The new Model S and Model X have also been exceptionally well received, with the new equipment installed and tested in Q1 and we are in the early stages of ramping production."”   Tesla has broken their production record, and whilst it might only be by 600 vehicles, it still counts!   "Tesla announced new record deliveries of 184,800 electric cars during the first quarter of 2021. Q1 of any year but especially this Covid-year is traditionally a slow quarter for car companies which makes it even more remarkable." says electrive.com: "Tesla delivered 184,800 electric cars to customers from January to March 2021, including 182,780 Model 3 and Model Y and 2,020 Model S and Model X. The previous record quarter was Q4/2020 with 180,570 deliveries. For production, Tesla produced a total of 180,338 vehicles in the first quarter of 2021. This, too, is a new record, besting the 179,757 units made in Q4/2020. What is more, this time, production was made up of exclusively Model 3 and Model Y. Tesla had put the Model S and X production on hold this year to prepare the lines for the revised versions presented at the end of January."   The Wall Street Journal noted the increasing EV market: "Stiffer competition from the likes of Ford Motor Co. and Volkswagen AG , whose all-electric vehicles are making inroads in key markets, is increasing pressure on Tesla to accelerate production growth and bring new models to market.   "The company’s sales numbers, which cover the entire world, come a day after General Motors and Ford Motor reported that their U.S. sales were up modestly. Tesla does not break out its sales by region and a lot of its recent growth has been in China, where electric cars make up a much larger share of the auto market than in the United States." said The New York Times: "The first-quarter sales numbers could lift Tesla shares, which have lost more than a quarter of their value since January when they hit a high of about $900. The impact won’t be known until next week, however, because the stock market is closed in observance of Good Friday. On Thursday, Tesla’s stock fell about 1 percent, closing at $661.75. Analysts were surprised by the jump in sales. Most had been expecting deliveries of about 172,000 vehicles."   I thought the angle from CNN focused on the negative: "Tesla has not built any of its two most expensive cars -- the Model S and Model X -- so far this year. Tesla said it is ramping up production of the Models S and X, which were recently updated with redesigns. But automakers come out with updated versions of vehicles all the time without shutting production for three months. And this shutdown appears to be different from what CEO Elon Musk said on Jan. 27, when he discussed Tesla's fourth quarter earnings with investors and analysts. Tesla is facing more competition for its less expensive models as traditional automakers offer their own new electric vehicles. General Motors (GM) just unveiled a new SUV version of its Chevrolet Bolt, its only US EV for sale right now. And Volkswagen (VLKAF) has overtaken Tesla in sales of EVs in many European market."   Elon Musk: "We're super excited to announce the new Model S and Model X ... are in production now and will be delivered in February. The Model S... we're actually in production now. The Model X a little later."   and The South China Morning Post has some regional numbers even thought Tesla doesn't publish these: In the first two months, the US carmaker delivered 33,802 vehicles, easily beating its Chinese rivals. In 2020, Tesla, banking on its Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai, delivered about 140,000 Model 3s to customers in mainland China, accounting for about an eighth of the country’s total EV deliveries, which hit 1.17 million units."   https://www.electrive.com/2021/04/05/tesla-reports-another-slight-delivery-record-in-q1-2021/   https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/02/business/tesla-auto-sales.html   https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/02/business/tesla-temporarily-halts-production-model-s-model-x/index.html   https://www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3128024/chinas-tesla-challengers-report-record-first-quarter-sales     TESLA VS. NIO VS. XPENG VS. LI AUTO — HOW Q1 DELIVERIES STACKED UP "The quarterly scorecards for the electric vehicle manufacturers are in and despite industry-wide constraints and macroeconomic handicaps, performances for the month of March, as well as the first quarter, have been strong. Here's a comparative take on first-quarter deliveries of Tesla, Li Auto, Xpeng and NIO." reports benzinga.com: "Tesla delivered 184,800 vehicles in the first quarter, with 99% of these being Model 3/Y vehicles. Nio's first-quarter deliveries jumped 423% year-over-year to 20,060 vehicles. The company currently sells three SUV models, namely ES6, ES8 and EC6. XPeng, which has a SUV named G3 and a sedan named P7, said its first-quarter deliveries totaled 13,340. Li Auto, which sells Li ONE SUV, reported deliveries of 12,579 for the first quarter."   https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/04/20484322/electric-vehicle-showdown-tesla-vs-nio-vs-xpeng-vs-li-auto-how-q1-deliveries-stacked-up   RIVIAN'S EV SERVICE PLANS INCLUDE REMOTE DIAGNOSIS AND ON-SITE REPAIRS   "Rivian is trying to challenge Tesla on a number of fronts, and that now includes how it will fix and support your electric vehicle. The startup has outlined its service strategy, and it's joining Tesla in eschewing the usual repair shops — and in some cases, it might not need to see you at all. It's promising a Remote Care system that will let it "proactively" spot problems. And like its competitor, Rivian will send service vans to fix most issues." reports engadget: "The company will haul your EV to one of 40-plus service centers if there's a more substantial problem. And if it's 'just' a fender bender, a network of Rivian-owned and certified locations will fix exterior damage. However, execution may be vital. Tesla has faced criticism for a service system where you might wait weeks or even months for some fixes. Rivian may win over customers if it develops a reputation for timely repairs, but it could catch similar flak if its customers endure similar delays."   https://www.engadget.com/rivian-ev-service-plan-143206646.html   WOULD YOU BUY APTERA’S THREE-WHEELED EV IF IT HAD A RANGE OF 1,000 MILES? "Since December, a video about an electric vehicle called the Aptera has racked up over 1.2 million views on YouTube. And no wonder — not only is the EV a three-wheeler straight out of a sci-fi movie, but it promises performance straight out of Elon Musk’s wet dreams: range of 1,000 miles on a single charge and the ability to recharge the battery from solar panels integrated into the body." says InsideHook: "The current vehicle they’re promoting is classified as a motorcycle or auto-cycle, similar to the Polaris Slingshot. It’s a two-seater with a Tesla-like touchscreen, solar panels for charging (though it charges faster via a traditional plug), in-wheel motors and a price ranging from about $26,000 to $50,000, depending on if you want that coveted 1,000-mile battery range."   Efficiency in the region of 10 miles per kWh.   https://www.insidehook.com/daily_brief/vehicles/aptera-three-wheeled-ev-1000-miles   QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM What incentive would make the most difference to you buying an EV?   It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast.   And  if you have an Amazon Echo, download our Alexa Skill, search for EV News Daily and add it as a flash briefing.   Come and say hi on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter just search EV News Daily, have a wonderful day, I’ll catch you tomorrow and remember…there’s no such thing as a self-charging hybrid.     PHIL ROBERTS / ELECTRIC FUTURE (PREMIUM PARTNER) BRAD CROSBY (PREMIUM PARTNER) PORSCHE OF THE VILLAGE CINCINNATI (PREMIUM PARTNER) AUDI CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) VOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) NATIONALCARCHARGING.COM and ALOHACHARGE.COM  (PREMIUM PARTNER) DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNEL (PREMIUM PARTNER) RICHARD AT RSEV.CO.UK – FOR BUYING AND SELLING EVS IN THE UK (PREMIUM PARTNER) eMOBILITY NORWAY HTTPS://WWW.EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/  (PREMIUM PARTNER)     DAVID AND LISA ALLEN (PARTNER) GARETH HAMER (PARTNER) BOB BOOTHBY FROM MILLBROOK COTTAGES – 5* GOLD SELF CATERING COTTAGES (PARTNER) DARIN MCLESKEY FROM DENOVO REAL ESTATE (PARTNER) JUKKA KUKONEN FROM WWW.SHIFT2ELECTRIC.COM RAJEEV NARAYAN (PARTNER) IAIN SEAR (PARTNER)   ADRIAN BOND (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALAN SHEDD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEX BANAHENE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEXANDER FRANK @ https://www.youtube.com/c/alexsuniverse42 ANDERS HOVE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREA JEFFERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREW GREEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDY NANCARROW AND LILIAN KASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASEER KHALID (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BÅRD FJUKSTAD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BLUNDERBUSS JONES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER BRIAN THOMPSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRUCE BOHANNAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHARLES HALL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRIS HOPKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRISTOPHER BARTH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) COLIN HENNESSY AND CAMBSEV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG ROGERS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAMIEN DAVIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID FINCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID MOORE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PARTINGTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PRESCOTT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DC EV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DON MCALLISTER / SCREENCASTSONLINE.COM (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ED CORTREEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERIC HANSEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERU KYEYUNE-NYOMBI (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) FREDRIK ROVIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GENE RUBIN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEDLEY WRIGHT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEINRICH LIESNER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN GRIFFITHS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN (WATTIE) WATKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JACK OAKLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAMES STORR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAVIER CARMELO DÍAZ PÉREZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JIM MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JOHN SCHROEDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON AKA BEARDY MCBEARDFACE FROM KENT EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON MANCHAK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JUAN GONZALEZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEVIN MEYERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LAURENCE D ALLEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LEE BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LUKE CULLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARCEL WARD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARTY YOUNG  (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIA OPPELSTRUP (PARTNER) MIKE WINTER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHAN GORE-BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHANIEL FREEDMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NEIL E ROBERTS FROM SUSSEX EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) OHAD ASTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL STEPHENSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GLASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GORTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETER & DEE ROBERTS FROM OXON EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHIL MOUCHET (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHILIP TRAUTMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RAYMOND ROWLEDGE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENE KEEMIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENÉ SCHNEIDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB FROM THE RSTHINKS EV CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROBERT GRACE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RUPERT MITCHELL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) SEIKI PAYNE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEPHEN PENN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEVE JOHN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) THOMAS J.

We're halfway across the Bay Bridge when John asks the question he probably should have thought of before he buckled his seatbelt. Maybe he spotted the sticker that reads “This vehicle does not conform to the requirements of the dynamic or static tests set out in CMVSS 208.” Maybe he knows that's the bit of the regulatory code that lays out crash protection standards.

Hello from the V-Twin Cafe here in sunny Cranford, New Jersey. Here the temperature is always 72 on the continual sunny days unless if you are in Tim's studio where the air conditioning has it cranked up to 85.  From here in the corner booth we bring you our silliness that is Brothers on Bikes, The Motorcycle Men.Today, Tim rubs his pipe, Chris hangs a bag and I kill a battery.... Fun listening today.Wonderful fun stuff, we had a fan..... of sorts.... in the studio with us keeping us moderately sweaty as we discussed our week and what little riding we did.  We had the death of the battery in my Heritage Classic and one of Chris's saddle bags nearly fall off.... the work of Gremlins no doubt.  We briefly discuss the weather for the upcoming week and determine that our departure for Americade could be in the form of storms and drippy stuff from the sky. Regardless, we are going and have a week of amazing activities planned.  Lots of food to eat and a boatload of miles to put in.  We will be doing short podcasts from our hotel room and hope to get some good interviews.The bike spec comparisons of the week were nothing less than amazing.  We had the KTM Super Adventure, Indian Scout, Keanu Reeves' ARCH KRGT-1 and the Can-Am Spyder FS.  We even talked the Polaris Slingshot for a short time too.  Great bikes to look over and get an idea of what the rest of the world is doing.More than all of that.... a huge tip of the helmet from the Motorcycle Men to all of our service men and women past, present and future who serve our great nation and have served.  We owe you nothing less than our eternal gratitude for the sacrifice of your lives for our great nation.And of course a sincere thank you to all of our fans and friends who take the time to listen to our nutty show.  Thank you.See you all at Americade next week!!Ride Safe!Ted Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=zPl7v5FjoO6fCov5rwbFo35sxmoOIUqUhcR1q1UVtP34xAVolJzW0aJ6GNSdljsPAT4MC0&fromUL=true&country.x=US&locale.x=en_US)
