Podcasts about Polestar

Brendan Appel of the Sons of Speed sits in for Jill this week. Brendan and Tom open the show talking about the changing character of car engines, and how small turbocharged examples lack the character—especially exhaust note—of older, larger engines. Tom shares news regarding deep price cuts on the Tesla Cybertruck. Per Elon Musk, the new, cheaper Tesla pickup may not be available for long, so interested shoppers may want to act quickly. Brendan and Tom discuss what the price adjustment might mean for the resale value of existing examples of the controversially designed pickup truck. Still in the first segment, Tom reviews the 3-row Lexus TX luxury crossover. Listen in for his take. In the second segment Brendan and Tom welcome Zack Pradel of Shooting Cars to the show. Zack is just back from Japan where he drove a number of the country's “kei” micro cars. As it has been suggested that kei cars could be the answer to rising new-car sticker prices in the U.S., Zack's take on these tiny vehicles is especially interesting. In the last segment Zack joins Brendan for this week's quiz. The show wraps up with a quick look at the current Polestar model lineup. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Swamiji narrates the inspiring story of Dhruva, a young prince who, after being insulted by his stepmother, turned to God with unwavering determination. Guided by Narad Ji, Dhruva performed intense meditation on Lord Vishnu, conquering obstacles with steadfast devotion.  Pleased by his sincerity, Lord Vishnu appeared before Dhruva and granted him Dhruva Loka — the eternal Pole Star, assuring him of ultimate spiritual elevation. Dhruva's journey shows that even a child, through firm resolve and pure Bhakti, can attain God-realization and eternal glory.  Swamiji emphasizes that Dhruva's story is a timeless lesson: determination in devotion leads to divine grace and liberation.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

Description: In this episode, we dive deep into Tesla's long-promised Cybercab as production reportedly begins and Elon Musk claims a sub-$30,000 price tag could arrive this year. We examine conflicting narratives around Tesla's robotaxi progress, including sharp criticism of the program eight months in and fresh timeline promises. Tesla's software push continues with Grok-enabled navigation in Europe and a renewed FSD launch in China backed by a local data center. Meanwhile, Tesla faces mounting pressure overseas, with UK sales plunging as BYD surges ahead and broader EV market share slipping despite overall auto growth. Legacy automakers aren't sitting still either—Ford is lobbying for access to Chinese EV tech, while BYD and Geely eye major North American production capacity. We also cover Polestar's aggressive expansion plans, Cruise's admission over a false pedestrian report, and the evolving EV policy and infrastructure conversation in Manitoba.

241 Welcome back to Tailoring Talk Magazine and the first episode of Season 15.In this long-overdue return, Roberto, Alex and Jon sit down for an honest conversation about electric vehicles, real ownership experiences and whether switching from petrol to electric actually makes sense in the real world.Roberto opens with a confession: after years of saying he'd never own an EV, he's now seriously considering selling his BMW M2 and making the switch. From there, the conversation explores the realities of EV ownership, including range anxiety, charging, running costs, practicality and how different lifestyles change what makes a good car.Rather than reviewing cars or reading spec sheets, this episode focuses on real-world use, real budgets, and what each of us would actually buy with our own money.In this episode• Why Roberto is reconsidering electric cars after years of resisting them• Alex's long-term experience living with EVs and what he'd change next• Jon's experience with EV ownership, hybrids and reliability challenges• Range anxiety – myth or real problem?• Charging at home vs public charging• How lifestyle and driving habits change what car makes sense• Running costs and the reality of EV ownership day-to-day• The cars we're currently considering buying• Family EVs vs performance EVs vs city cars• What we'd each choose if we had to decide tomorrowThe discussion also covers several popular electric cars currently on the market, including models from Tesla, Hyundai, BMW, Volkswagen, Kia and others as the team compares range, practicality and real-world usability.Timestamps00:00 – Intro and confession: from petrolhead to considering EVs02:25 – Why this episode: honest conversation, no reviews or spec sheets03:10 – Why Roberto's M2 isn't getting used and how this conversation started 04:50 – Alex's EV journey and living with a Polestar 08:50 – Jon's EV history, Nissan issues and going electric again 10:50 – Roberto's Hyundai IONIQ 6 experience and dealership problems13:10 – Realisation: why EVs make sense for city driving15:40 – Running costs, practicality and daily usage20:30 – Range anxiety: myth vs reality and how charging actually works 29:40 – Different lifestyles, commuting and choosing the right EV30:40 – Roberto test driving EVs and reconsidering his stance31:30 – Home charging, solar, and real-world running costs 33:15 – Alex's criteria for his next EV (road trips, range, usability)37:55 – Roberto presents EV shortlist for Alex38:00 – Tesla Model 3 discussion46:00 – Volkswagen, BMW, Hyundai and Kia comparisons 49:30 – Counter suggestions and alternative EV options50:10 – Jon's shortlist and priorities for a family EV 01:13:50 – Roberto's current thinking about replacing the M2 01:22:20 – Options, trims and spec pricing discussion01:23:45 – Final thoughts: where each of us stands on EVs 01:25:40 – Outro and wrap-upKey themesOne of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that there's no single “best” EV.The right choice depends on how you actually use your car, whether you can charge at home, how far you regularly travel, and what matters most: comfort, range, driving experience or practicality.The episode also highlights how quickly EV technology and infrastructure have evolved in recent years, changing the ownership experience significantly compared with earlier electric cars.Listen if you are:• Thinking about buying your first electric car• Curious about real EV ownership rather than marketing claims• A petrolhead wondering whether electric cars are worth considering• Interested in cars, technology and honest conversationsAbout Tailoring Talk MagazineTailoring Talk Magazine is a podcast about style, technology, cars, culture and the things that make modern life interesting, hosted by Roberto Revilla with co-hosts Alex Hansford and Jon Evans.Follow and SubscribeIf you enjoyed this episode, follow the podcast and share it with someone who's thinking about going electric.

I ugens afsnit af Bilradio analyserer værterne Christian Schacht og Jan Lang et marked, der lige nu koger over af vilde tilbud og strategiske satsninger. Fra desperate prishug hos Polestar til en ny folke-elbil fra Skoda, der kan rydde bordet i Danmark. Privatleasing har længe været et populært værktøj, men Polestars nyeste kampagne på Polestar 4 Nordic Edition flytter grænserne for, hvor meget bil man kan få for pengene. En markant nedsættelse af den månedlige ydelse betyder, at kunderne nu kan spare titusindvis af kroner over en treårig periode. Ifølge Jan Lang skyldes det opsigtsvækkende tilbud en global krise for mærket: »Det er tragisk, men ærligt. Bilerne kan ikke sælges i udlandet, så de lander som leasingkup i Danmark,« forklarer han i Bilradio. Hvor Polestar kæmper for at flytte lagerbiler, spiller Skoda med musklerne i en langsigtet strategi. Den kommende Skoda Epiq lander formentlig med en ekstremt skarp prissætning, og Jan Lang er ikke i tvivl om bilens potentiale: »Det kan blive Danmarks mest solgte bil.« Epiq kombinerer en solid rækkevidde med et rummeligt bagagerum og evnen til at køre med anhænger. En opskrift, der rammer plet hos de danske børnefamilier. Hør, hvordan bilen opfører sig i praksis i ugens Bilradio. Værterne runder desuden en lang række af ugens vigtigste nyheder og tendenser: • Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsen på kontrolbesøg hos Clever. Hvad er baggrunden for myndighedernes besøg?• Renault 4. Den franske retro-elbil rammer en vigtig prisgrænse.• Ford Mustang Mach-E. Priserne er sat ned, men salget kollapser.• BYD. Den kinesiske gigant stormer frem i Europa, men har det svært i Danmark.• Brugtmarkedet. Billige brugte elbiler presser bunden af markedet helt i knæ.• Ferraris første elbil. Sportsvognsmærket viser tænder med et kontroversielt interiør.• Testgaragen. Duel mellem den nye Kia PV5 Passenger og VW ID. Buzz.• Lytterspørgsmål. Værterne svarer på jeres spørgsmål og giver perspektiv på elbilmarkedet.

En este nuevo programa nos acompañan Antonio R. Vaquerizo, Fernando Rivas, Javier Quilón, Rubén Gómez, Álex Moya, Jose Lagunar, Rebeca Álvarez (redactora de Coches.net) y Axel Redondo, creador de contenido especializado en Nürburgring, para analizar toda la actualidad del motor con debate, datos y mucha pasión. Arrancamos con una noticia industrial de gran calado: Ford y la china Geely —propietaria de Volvo y Polestar— negocian fabricar coches eléctricos chinos en la planta de Almussafes (Valencia). Un movimiento que puede redefinir el papel de España en la electrificación europea y que abre el debate sobre la entrada de fabricantes chinos en nuestras fábricas. Después viajamos literalmente hasta el fin del mundo: Axel Redondo nos cuenta la aventura de cruzar Europa hasta Cabo Norte con dos coches eléctricos, junto a CxSound. Miles de kilómetros, planificación de cargas, climatología extrema y la gran pregunta: ¿es realmente viable un viaje así en eléctrico? Con Rebeca Álvarez hablamos de uno de los experimentos más sorprendentes del año: los récords del Renault Filante, el “misil” eléctrico con el que la marca francesa ha vuelto a demostrar que la eficiencia y la ingeniería siguen siendo claves en la nueva era eléctrica. Analizamos también el nuevo escenario geopolítico del automóvil: Europa busca vender en India los coches que no logra colocar en China y, a cambio, abrir la puerta a coches indios más baratos mediante un acuerdo de libre comercio. ¿Estamos ante un cambio de socio estratégico en la industria global? En nuestra sección de Seguridad Vial con Hyundai, Jose Lagunar aborda la polémica sobre la primera multa por no llevar la baliza V16, las dudas sobre el periodo de gracia de la DGT y la recogida de firmas para la destitución de Pere Navarro. Un bloque cargado de actualidad normativa y debate ciudadano. En la sección AutoScout24, Rubén Gómez nos trae tres auténticas joyas del mercado de ocasión: Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 ‘68, con su mítico 428 Cobra Jet. Lamborghini Diablo SV-R, una rarísima versión de competición del Supertrophy. Porsche 911 (930) Turbo S Slantnose Sonderwunsch, una de las configuraciones más exclusivas jamás salidas de Zuffenhausen, con historia incluida. Además, recordamos que Car and Driver no solo está en el kiosco: también podéis suscribiros en formato digital para recibir sus newsletters exclusivas y acceder a nuevas ventajas que llegarán este año. Comentamos también la gran bomba eléctrica italiana: el Ferrari Luce, el primer eléctrico de la marca, con más de 1.000 CV, tracción total mediante cuatro motores y un interior que recupera los botones frente a las pantallas. En “Curiosidades más curiosas”, Rubén nos descubre la historia del Lotus Omega (Lotus Carlton), la berlina de 377 CV que en los años 90 estuvo a punto de ser prohibida en Reino Unido tras una ola de robos que dejó en evidencia a la policía. Debatimos también sobre el aniversario de la prohibición de motos en Nürburgring, una decisión que sigue generando polémica, y cerramos con un dato histórico: Lamborghini firma récord de ventas, confirmando que la era híbrida y el SUV Urus siguen impulsando a la marca italiana. Actualidad, industria, viajes eléctricos, historia, normativa y auténticos iconos del automóvil… todo en un programa que viene cargado de motor de principio a fin.

Season 38 examines one of Victorian England's most infamous murderers: William Palmer, the Rugeley Poisoner. This four-part series traces his crimes from gambling addiction to serial murder—and the groundbreaking forensic investigation that brought him to justice.The Fatal WagerNovember 1855. A man lies dying in Room 10 of the Talbot Arms inn. His back arches off the mattress. His jaw locks. Every muscle seizes at once.John Parsons Cook had won big at the Shrewsbury races just days earlier. His horse Polestar crossed the finish line first, putting nearly a thousand pounds in his pocket. He should have been celebrating.Instead, he's being murdered—slowly, methodically—by his own friend and physician.Dr. William Palmer stands beside the bed, taking Cook's pulse. He doesn't call for help. He waits.The VictimJohn Parsons Cook was twenty-eight years old in 1855. Born into comfortable circumstances, he inherited enough money from his father to live without working. He trained for the law but never practiced—the racing circuit called to him instead.Cook followed the horse racing meets across England: Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Chester. He owned horses. He wagered heavily. He lived for the thundering hooves and the roaring crowds.But Cook suffered from chronic poor health. Stomach troubles plagued him. This made him dependent on physicians—a dependency that would prove fatal when his racing companion William Palmer decided he needed to die.The CrimeWilliam Palmer was a surgeon, a family man, and a serial killer.By November 1855, Palmer owed more than twenty thousand pounds to moneylenders. His gambling addiction had consumed him. He had already murdered for money—his wife Anne (insurance payout: thirteen thousand pounds), his brother Walter (insurance claim pending), possibly his mother-in-law, and at least four of his own infant children.When Cook won at Shrewsbury, Palmer saw an opportunity. The two men traveled together back to Palmer's hometown of Rugeley. Cook took his usual room at the Talbot Arms—directly across the street from Palmer's house.Palmer began visiting Cook immediately, administering "treatments" for his illness. Each time Cook improved, another dose sent him back to agony.Cook suspected. He told friends: "I believe that damn Palmer has been dosing me." But suspicion wasn't proof, and Palmer was a doctor. Doctors could be trusted.The InvestigationWhat followed Cook's death would transform British forensic science and create new legal precedent.Dr. Alfred Swaine Taylor, England's foremost toxicologist, examined Cook's remains. He found no strychnine in the body—the poison metabolized too quickly. But the symptoms were unmistakable: tetanic convulsions, locked jaw, arched back.Taylor's testimony established a critical principle: absence of poison does not equal absence of poisoning. Clinical symptoms and circumstantial evidence could establish murder even when the weapon couldn't be found.Palmer's trial became so notorious that Parliament passed special legislation—the Central Criminal Court Act 1856, forever known as "Palmer's Act"—to move the case from Staffordshire to London's Old Bailey.Thirty-two medical experts testified. The jury deliberated eighty-two minutes.Verdict: Guilty.Historical ContextThe Palmer case exposed the vulnerability of Victorian society to medical murderers. Physicians held almost unquestioned authority. Patients trusted them with their lives—literally.Palmer exploited this trust systematically. His medical knowledge allowed him to choose poisons that were difficult to detect, calculate doses that would kill without immediate suspicion, and explain away symptoms as natural illness.The case accelerated the development of forensic toxicology across Europe. Scientists raced to develop more sensitive tests for alkaloid poisons like strychnine.Sources consulted: Old Bailey Online trial transcripts (May 1856); The Times contemporary coverage; British Newspaper Archive; Oxford Dictionary of National Biography; forensic toxicology historical analysis.ResourcesPrimary Sources:Old Bailey Online: Trial of William Palmer (May 1856) — oldbaileyonline.orgBritish Newspaper Archive coverage of Rugeley poisoner caseFurther Reading:Katherine Watson, "Poisoned Lives: English Poisoners and Their Victims" (2004)Robert Graves, "They Hanged My Saintly Billy" (1957) — literary treatmentCrisis Resources:For concerns about elder financial abuse or medical exploitation: Adult Protective ServicesSupport the ShowIf Foul Play brings you into history's darkest corners, consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

New-car prices keep climbing, loan terms keep stretching, and shoppers are left to figure out what “value” really means. We bring on Alex from U.S. News & World Report to unpack the Best Cars for the Money awards, where expert road tests meet five-year ownership costs and real transaction data. The result is a practical shortlist of vehicles you can actually buy and enjoy without fearing the next payment or repair bill.We walk through the standouts. Kia's dramatic rise from budget to benchmark shows up across gas, hybrid, PHEV, and EV segments, with thoughtful packaging and long warranties that protect your wallet. In compact cars, the K4 challenges class leaders on price and coverage. For SUVs, we parse needs honestly: the Nissan Murano shines as a two-row value with style and standard safety, while the Kia Sorento makes sense as a smaller, occasional-use three-row that trims fuel and purchase costs. For buyers who truly need bigger rigs, Ford's Expedition and F-150 deliver lower lifetime costs relative to peers without skimping on core features at the entry point.We also go deep on EV reality. Regional charging, climate, and daily mileage matter, which is why compact options like the Chevy Equinox EV can be a sweet spot in cities, while larger families may see the Kia EV9 as the right fit. Then we get hands-on with the Polestar 4 Dual Motor: big power, clean design, a camera-based rear view, and a minimal interface that trades knobs for screens. We talk range, charging time, and how a dimmable glass roof feels in hot sun, plus how it stacks up against Tesla Model Y and Hyundai's Ioniq lineup.Looking for clarity in a confusing market? You'll get data-backed picks, real-world buying tips, and straight talk on how to stretch your dollars without hating your daily drive.

Craving a car fix without a road trip? We spin a different kind of tour: five destination-worthy automotive museums that chart the arc from brass era pioneers to Hollywood legends, then we put a cutting-edge EV under the microscope. Our journey starts with the sprawling Gilmore campus and rolls through Tacoma's LeMay, LA's Petersen, and the Henry Ford's sweeping narrative of innovation before landing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, where racing history crackles from every display.With that heritage fresh in mind, we jump into the driver's seat of the 2026 Polestar 4 dual motor. Think 544 horsepower, a sleek profile, and one audacious choice: no rear window. We talk through the consequences of camera-only rear visibility, a panoramic roof that relies on electrochromic dimming, and a minimalist cabin anchored by a 15.4-inch screen. It's clean, modern, and quick, but we weigh the trade-offs—less tactile control and more eyes-off-road moments—alongside real-world charging needs, range, and pricing that parks it in Model Y and Ioniq territory.To round it out, we tip our hats to the unsung infrastructure that makes every drive possible: America's longest tunnels, from the Hudson crossings to Colorado's high-altitude Eisenhower bore and Boston's Ted Williams. It's a look at how engineering ambition underpins car culture, whether you're walking museum floors or merging into traffic. If you love the intersection of history, design, and modern EV realities, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with a fellow car nut, and drop a review to tell us which museum or EV deserves our next deep dive.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

On today's Turn Down For Watt Podcast, we dive into the controversy surrounding the Donut Labs battery and ask the big question everyone is debating: Is it truly solid-state, or is it overhyped marketing bordering on a scam? We break down what solid-state really means, how it compares to current lithium-ion tech from CATL, BYD, and Tesla, and why battery terminology matters more than ever.We also unpack Ford's announcement that autonomy will arrive with its affordable universal EV platform in 2027, while examining the very real struggles Ford and the broader industry have faced with EV profitability. GM isn't alone in this pain, reporting a $1.7 billion EV loss last quarter and announcing another $6 billion write-off, while Jeep quietly canceled two plug-in models.At CES, one of the most under-the-radar stories came from Geely, the parent company of Zeekr, Volvo, Polestar, and Lynk & Co. With models like the Zeekr Z, 001, and 7X, plus their “Golden Brick” ultra-fast charging battery, we explore what it would mean if Zeekr begins U.S. production in South Carolina within 24–36 months—and how far behind U.S. automakers may be if current pullbacks continue.

Почему софт в автомобиле, который стоит миллионы, часто уступает по качеству и скорости телефону за 50 тысяч и как на это влияет война экосистем? Погружаемся в анатомию современного автомобильного софта вместе с Денисом Неклюдовым — тимлидом команды Android Automotive OS в Google. В выпуске разбираемся, почему автопроизводители вроде General Motors объявляют войну Apple CarPlay; заглядываем ПОД КАПОТ и обнаруживаем, что в машине часто работает не одна, а сразу две операционки; эмпатируем разработчикам приложений под авто, которые страдают из-за большой фрагментации и жестких гайдлайнов по безопасности. И, конечно, говорим о будущем: как AI и LLM превратят машину в "третье жилое пространство", и почему подогрев сидений по подписке — это только начало.

Join Robert Llewellyn, Jack Scarlett, and Imogen Bhogal for a special year-end wrap-up as they take a mystery tour through the biggest moments of 2025, from unforgettable shoots, to the clean tech stories that really mattered, and share their bold predictions for what's coming in 2026. They kick things off by debunking the myth that EV sales are collapsing, revealing that global battery-electric vehicle sales are actually up 19% year-on-year. From there, the trio dive into their personal "Magic Money Tree" dream garages, featuring the Polestar 5, Kia EV9, the gloriously childish Ioniq 6 N, and Jack's verdict on the potentially game-changing BMW iX3.  There are also behind-the-scenes stories from some of the year's most memorable shoots — including the legendary solar safari in Namibia and the huge electric ferry project in Hobart. To wrap up, the team looks ahead to 2026, with predictions on a potential British automotive revival, the long-awaited arrival of truly affordable small EVs and whether Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology is finally ready for the mainstream.

As most parents can tell you, coming up with names isn’t easy. It sometimes takes a while to settle on something that sounds just right. It wasn’t easy for the people who named the constellations, either. Some of the names sound like they just gave up. They picked a region of the sky with few stars, gave it the name of a nearby bright constellation, then added the word “minor.” All three of these minor constellations are in good view at dawn: Ursa Minor, Canis Minor, and Leo Minor. The most famous of the bunch is Ursa Minor – the little bear. Seven of its stars form the Little Dipper, which is in the north – directly below the Big Dipper, which is part of Ursa Major. The constellation is especially well known because its brightest star is Polaris, the Pole Star. It’s at the tip of the little bear’s tail. Canis Minor is the little dog. It’s about half way up the sky in the west-southwest. It has only a couple of bright stars. The brightest is Procyon – a name that means “before the dog.” That’s because the little dog leads the big dog across the sky. In ancient Greece, in fact, the constellation was known as Procyon. Finally, Leo Minor is high overhead. It’s the little lion, standing on the shoulder of Leo. That region of the sky wasn’t depicted as a separate constellation until 1687. Today, though, it’s one of the 88 official constellations – even if it is a “minor” one. Script by Damond Benningfield

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1203: Autonomy expands its EV subscription fleet with new brands, Foxconn doubles down on becoming a global EV battery powerhouse, and the U.S. labor market enters a “Great Freeze” that's keeping both hiring and firing on ice. Show Notes with links:EV subscription company Autonomy has secured $25 million to add more than 1,200 vehicles and broaden its lineup beyond Tesla.Autonomy operates a subscription-based model where customers choose an EV in the app, pay by credit card, and receive delivery through dealer partners.New funding brings in Polestar and Volvo models, plus updated Tesla Model 3 and Model Y variants.Recent model-year and off-lease CPO EVs are being added to offer more price points for subscribers.Dealer partners handle delivery—Galpin Motors will lead the Polestar rollout in L.A. using a Deloitte-built digital experience.“Our goal is to make getting a car as easy as streaming a movie… on the customer's terms,” said founder & CEO Scott Painter.Foxconn—the same company that builds your iPhone—is rapidly reinventing itself again, this time as a global battery supplier capable of powering future cars, buses, and data centers.A new $193M battery plant in Kaohsiung is ramping from 0.5 GWh to 1.2 GWh next year, supplying commercial vehicles now and passenger EVs in 2025.Foxconn says it can replicate its full, automated, 85% in-house battery supply chain anywhere in the world, creating local supply for OEM partners.Its EV lineup is expanding (Model C, B, D, E, A), and the company has its first U.S. customer for the Model C—awaiting North American certification.Partnerships are multiplying, including a new electric-bus venture with Mitsubishi Fuso using Foxconn-built battery packs.“We can duplicate this anywhere and scale up,” said Troy Wu, global battery strategy lead. “Customers are looking for one-stop shopping.”A chill has settled over the American labor landscape as companies avoid both layoffs and hiring, creating what economists are calling the “Great Freeze.” It's a market stuck in neutral—good for job security, not so great for career mobility.Layoffs remain low, but hiring has also slowed as companies cling to workers while avoiding expansion during economic uncertainty.Tariff questions, AI impact, supply constraints, and weak pockets like construction are all contributing to hesitancy in adding headcount.Companies are holding onto workers for stability, but a recession could break that trend. Unemployment is still low, yet job openings have fallen to 7.2 million.Career growth is stalling as workers struggle to move roles or negotiate raises in a low-turnover environment.“We're seeing employers and job seekers both trying to wait out any of tJoin 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/

Kilowatt Podcast - Episode SummaryIn this episode of Kilowatt, Bodie dives into the latest in electric vehicle and energy news. Tesla gets the green light to test robotaxis with safety drivers in Arizona. Polestar 3 owners in the U.S. can now power their homes with their vehicles thanks to a partnership with dcbel, showcasing real-world benefits of vehicle-to-home (V2H) technology. Meanwhile, GM is telling suppliers to move away from Chinese sourcing by 2027 amid rising geopolitical tensions. Bodie also discusses two key Recurrent studies showing that modern EV batteries degrade less than expected over three years and almost never need replacement. This data could ease fears for anyone considering a used EV. The episode wraps with practical advice on which EV generations to consider and why the battery concerns are largely overblown.Support the Show

Tom opens the show by recapping briefly his time in the Lucid Air Touring electric luxury sedan. Tom is impressed by the Lucid, but does have one (big) complaint. The hosts go on to discuss rumors that Tesla will be ADDING the Apple CarPlay feature to some or all of its models in the near future. A huge new Honda recall will affect the owners of certain late-model Civics. Listen in for details. Jill and Tom chat briefly about Ford making Blue Advantage certified preowned vehicles available on Amazon. Still in the first segment, Jill shares her impressions of the 2027 Kia Telluride midsize crossover, a clay model of which she recently checked out. In the second segment, the hosts welcome Tiago Castro, Vice President of Infiniti of the Americas, to the podcast.

As seen from most of the United States, the Big Dipper is plunging toward the northern horizon as night falls, as if it’s about to dip into a pail of water. If you line up the stars at the outer edge of the dipper’s bowl, and follow that line to the upper right, the first moderately bright star you come to is Polaris, the Pole Star or North Star. Earth’s north pole aims toward it, so Polaris forms the hub of the northern sky – all the other stars appear to rotate around it. And it’s always at the same point above the horizon – night and day, all year long. There’s a southern pole star, too. It’s not as prominent as Polaris, though. In fact, it’s barely visible. The star is Polaris Australis. It’s also known as Sigma Octantis because it’s in the constellation Octans, which depicts a navigational instrument known as an octant. Polaris Australis isn’t as impressive as Polaris mainly because Polaris is huge and brilliant. Compared to most stars, though, the southern pole star is impressive, too. It’s more than half again the mass of the Sun. It’s expanding as it nears the end of its life, so it’s several times wider than the Sun. And its outer layers puff in and out, so it brightens and fades a tiny bit every couple of hours. On average, it’s more than 40 times brighter than the Sun. But it’s almost 300 light-years away. So that keeps Polaris Australis from being a better pointer to the celestial south pole. Script by Damond Benningfield

You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/EVNewsDaily TESLA OPENS MODEL Y PERFORMANCE US ORDERS Tesla opened US orders for the refreshed Model Y Performance just ahead of the federal EV tax credit deadline, with deliveries set for December 2025 and a price that includes complimentary options such as premium colors, a tow hitch, and lifetime Premium Connectivity. This enhanced value package aims to justify the price premium and offers buyers a feature-rich, high-performance electric SUV. POLESTAR 3 GETS BIG UPGRADES FOR 2026 The 2026 Polestar 3 sees a major upgrade with an 800V electrical system, boosting charging speeds to 350 kW and improving overall efficiency by 6%. These enhancements, paired with a powerful new rear motor and a top-tier NVIDIA central computer, are available to all existing customers via retrofit, ensuring the brand's flagship SUV delivers cutting-edge EV technology. NISSAN PAUSES U.S. EV PRODUCTION PLANS Nissan is reallocating its US production focus after pausing plans for local EV assembly, directing efforts towards hybrid SUVs that suit current market trends. The company remains committed to EVs by continuing Leaf sales from Japan and considering US hybrid production while monitoring future demand. MODEL Y PERFORMANCE TO ENABLE BIDIRECTIONAL CHARGING The new Tesla Model Y Performance will support bidirectional charging, adding both vehicle-to-load and vehicle-to-home capabilities through a future software update. This practical feature gives owners reliable backup power and portable electricity, further enhancing the Model Y's appeal as a versatile family EV. TESLA RAISES U.S. LEASE PRICES AFTER TAX CREDIT ENDS Tesla raised US lease prices for all models following the expiration of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit, and industry analysts predict sales may slow with the reduced affordability. Despite market shifts, Tesla's purchase prices remain steady, and the company continues to lead in EV innovation and technology. TESLA CHINA DELIVERIES CONTINUE TO DECLINE Tesla's deliveries in China have dipped despite pricing incentives and the introduction of new models, but global Q3 deliveries were strong, supported by robust demand in the US. The company remains agile in responding to regional trends, maintaining competitiveness with regular product updates and market-specific offerings. NORWAY EVS 98.3% OF SEPTEMBER REGISTRATIONS Norway reached a new milestone in September, with EVs accounting for 98.3% of all new car registrations, reflecting strong government policy and consumer enthusiasm. Tesla saw standout growth, recording its highest monthly sales in over two years and helping Norway further its world-leading electrification efforts. NEXTSTAR ENERGY FINISHES $5B WINDSOR BATTERY PLANT NextStar Energy, a Stellantis and LG joint venture, has completed Canada's largest battery plant in Windsor, capable of supplying 450,000 EVs annually and supporting more than 2,500 jobs. The factory is fully approved for safe operation and will play a pivotal role in North America's transition to electric vehicles. FOSSIL FUEL SUBSIDIES OUTSTRIP EV TAX CREDIT Analysis shows that while the US federal EV tax credit has ended, fossil fuels still receive hundreds of billions in government support annually, far outstripping historical EV subsidies. This context highlights the ongoing need for policy equity as the market shifts toward cleaner transportation solutions. AFFORDABLE CLEAN CARS COALITION GROWS TO 13 GOVERNORS The Affordable Clean Cars Coalition has grown to 13 state governors united in expanding access to cost-effective EVs and supporting domestic automakers. The group's collaboration focuses on lowering barriers for consumers and maintaining state authority under the Clean Air Act to accelerate vehicle electrification. RIVIAN SHARES R2 WATER-FORDING DURABILITY TEST AS PRODUCTION NEARS Rivian demonstrated the resilience of its upcoming R2 SUV with a successful water-fording test, underscoring its capability before production starts in 2026.

They gave us the alphabet, charted the seas by the Pole Star, and built Carthage – once Rome's greatest rival. So why have the Phoenicians been forgotten? Speaking to Emily Briffett, historian Josephine Quinn explores the story of these ancient seafarers, traders and city-builders who connected the cities surrounding the Mediterranean – and left an extraordinary legacy – long before Greece and Rome rose to power.
