Today's episode explores an array of different tangets: most notably, Sacco-era Mercedes-Benzes, the ALSO Elecric Bike, and a broad discussion of manual swaps. === This episode is sponsored by Battery Tender. Visit https://www.batterytender.com/ and use code HAGERTY20 for 20% off. === Derek and Jason begin the episode discussing yet another Sacco-era Mercedes-Benz fleet update - Derek's newly acquired W140 Mercedes-Benz S500 Grand Edition and the installation of a new steering box on Jason's 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth. Jason then takes a turn to discuss the new ALSO Electric Bike, a sister company of Rivian. The first Series-Hybrid Bicycle of its kind, the ALSO draws parallels in function to road cars like BMW i3 REX, where both vehicle have a backup generator propelled by an alternate energy source (in this case, pedal power). Jason gives reason for why car enthusiasts should take an interest in this new two-wheeled technology and how it might change the future of mobility. Naturally, conversation finds its way into the discussion of manual swaps and whether or not there is a case in which a manual swap is unfavorable vs. an automatic. Derek and Jason extrapolate on different types of manual swaps (IE: modifying a semi-automated manual in a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale vs replacing an automatic transmission in a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG).

Campagnolo's Super Record X evolved from their 13-speed wireless road drivetrain and employs an off-road-specific rear derailleur with their Nano Clutch and race-focused gearing, but can it compete against GRX and Red? Velo tech editor Josh Ross explains the just-released Italian gruppo and their new, 50mm tall Bora gravel wheels. Alvin was at Rivian's launch of their (questionably named) Also TM-B e-bike and has all the details of this tech-heavy city rig. The Also employs a pedal-by-wire belt drive system, magnesium housing with TWO motors, an inverted suspension fork, and a car-like regenerative braking feature, but Levy wants to know if it will ever be available or if it's destined for vaporware status? Lastly, the crew digs into Josh's comprehensive indoor trainer buyer's guide, including the least expensive smart trainer that makes sense, why you should consider buying used, haptics and other add-ons, and what his price-no-object indoor setup might look like. They also share their tricks for making indoor rides "fun." Further reading I've ridden 32,000 Miles on Indoor Trainers. These Are the Best Ones.

ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW!   The world is going electric faster than you think — but not just for passenger cars.   In this episode of ITPM Flash, Philip Klein presents Microvast ($MVST) — a U.S.-based advanced battery company powering the commercial EV revolution.   While Tesla and Rivian dominate headlines, the commercial EV space is growing even faster — and Microvast is solving its biggest bottleneck: charging speed. With batteries that charge to 80% in 10 minutes, a breakthrough in solid-state technology, and partnerships with BMW and GM, this $1.8B company is positioned to benefit from powerful tailwinds in electrification, regulation, and energy storage demand.   Philip walks through the company's fundamentals, catalysts, and valuation — including strong revenue acceleration, U.S. expansion, and a calendar ratio call spread options trade designed to capture high implied volatility and asymmetric upside.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1180: Fresh off a global adventure, Paul and Kyle return with stories from Kazakhstan, a look at why destination fees are climbing faster than car prices, and how Rivian and GM are tightening up their EV operations as the market cools.Destination fees — the unavoidable “shipping” charges tacked onto every new vehicle — are climbing faster than sticker prices. Once a minor line item, these fees have ballooned across brands, marking the steepest industrywide increase in at least a decade as automakers quietly offset rising costs and tariffs.Average destination fees jumped 8.5% for 2025 models, the biggest one-year spike in 10 years, according to Edmunds.Fees have risen 27% since 2021, now averaging $1,549, up from $1,220 just four years ago.Some models saw even sharper hikes — Porsche up 48%, Ford up 39%, Stellantis up 35%.Analysts point to inflation, heavier vehicles, and new tariffs as key cost drivers.“It's another place where they can increase the price without increasing the price,” said Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions.As the EV market cools and cost pressures rise, both Rivian and GM are trimming teams to stay efficient. Rivian's cutting hundreds after the loss of key EV tax credits, while GM is reducing salaried positions tied to design and development as part of a broader restructuring.Rivian is laying off 4.5% of its workforce — about 600 employees — as it consolidates operations in sales, service, and marketing.CEO RJ Scaringe said the move reflects a “changing operating backdrop” as demand softens following the expiration of the $7,500 EV credit.Rivian will continue investing in its next-gen R2 platform to reach a broader market beyond its luxury R1 lineup.GM confirmed more than 200 white-collar job cuts in Detroit, mostly in its design engineering and CAD teams.The automaker is also managing $1.6 billion in EV-related write-downs and tariff costs as it shifts strategy to protect margins amid a slower adoption curve.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:25 More Than Cars just got back from Kazakhstan7:42 Destination Fees Skyrocket On 2025 Models10:33 Rivian Lays Off 600, GM Cuts 200Join 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/

Electric vehicle maker Rivian plans to lay off approximately 4% of its workforce, according to the Wall Street Journal. The report stated that the development would impact over 600 employees. However, the company has not provided further details.The news comes after a WSJ report in September that Rivian would cut about 1.5% of its workforce. A company spokesperson said that the previous layoffs impacted the commercial team as the automaker worked to “improve operational efficiency” for its upcoming R2 model, planned for launch in 2026.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1171: Ford scrambles after a supplier fire halts SUV production, Rivian doubles down on AI instead of Apple CarPlay, and young people rediscover the joy of “hanging up”... literallyFord is pausing production for several key vehicles, including the Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, and F-150 Lightning, after a massive fire shut down operations at its main aluminum supplier, Novelis. Novelis' upstate New York facility is responsible for 40% of U.S. aluminum sheet supply, and the fire will keep it offline until early 2026.Ford will halt output at five plants, including the Kentucky Truck Plant, where the Expedition and Navigator are built.Ford pulled forward downtime originally scheduled for late 2025 to manage the shortage.F-150 and Super Duty production continue, but analysts say Ford could lose up to $1 billion in profits if supply tightens.“They're focusing all their energy on making sure all their F-150s get built,” said Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions.Rivian is betting its future on in-car AI, aiming to create a seamless, branded ecosystem that integrates your favorite apps, without handing the keys (or the data) over to Apple.CEO RJ Scaringe says the goal is to “hold the glue” between apps like Spotify, Google Maps, and Apple Music as AI becomes central to the in-car experience.Automakers fear platforms like Apple's CarPlay could harvest vehicle data and weaken brand identity.Rivian's approach mirrors moves by other automakers who want to control software updates and user interfaces directly.“Customers will appreciate a seamless digital experience... not needing to jump between CarPlay and what we create as a Rivian environment,” said Scaringe.Call it the “landline revival.” Gen Z and millennials are rebelling against endless screen time, choosing intentional connection and analog simplicity over constant notifications and algorithm-driven distraction.Over 40% of U.S. adults — and 62% under 30 — say they're on their phones almost constantly, according to Pew Research.Tiffany Ng, a NYC writer, chained her iPhone using a belt for a week, describing it as “reentering real life.”Others, like Catherine Goetze, are modernizing the landline — selling Bluetooth-connected rotary phones under her brand Physical Phones, generating $118K in pre-sales.“It's not realistic to throw your smartphone into a river,” Goetze said. “But you can regain some level of balance and intentionality.”0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:35 Upcoming ASOTU Edge Webinar on How and When To Move Used Vehicles2:30 Q4 Strategy Sessions NEXT WEEK3:54 Ford Pauses Production Due To Aluminum Supplier Fire7:08 Why Rivian Isn't Integrating Apple CarplJoin 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/

The MacVoices Live! panel discuss the Rivian CEO's claim that drivers will eventually appreciate cars without Apple CarPlay, sparking debate about automakers' push for control and subscription models. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Web Bixby, Marty Jencius, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, and Jim Rea explore consumer frustration over losing convenience and the rise of tech-based add-ons. More privacy concerns from the UK's renewed backdoor encryption request link to a discussion about broader issues of digital trust and data security that include a leak of iPhone schematics.  MacVoices is supported by MacPaw and the Cloud Cleanup feature.

The Dutch courts finally did something useful: they told Meta to quit force-feeding algorithmic slop to everyone, so Facebook and Instagram users might actually see posts from friends again—if they can remember who those are. Meanwhile, OpenAI's Sora 2 rollout is the kind of chaos that makes you wonder if the company replaced QA with a TikTok filter, as outrage videos flood the internet faster than you can say “deepfake meltdown.” Apple banned ICEBlock for being too effective while ICE now wants its own social media surveillance tool—one that OpenAI shut down when Chinese accounts tried to build it. California's hammering Tesla for its abysmal insurance claims handling, OpenAI is gobbling up chunks of AMD, and consultants got caught using ChatGPT to fake reports before proudly partnering with Anthropic, who just landed Deloitte as its latest “enterprise AI” victim. Elsewhere in this circus: a Florida teen asked ChatGPT how to kill his friend, Taylor Swift fans are furious her new promo video used AI slop (“too rich to be this cheap”), and Apple's “Find My” led cops to a mountain of smuggled iPhones.In Media Candy, Brian's stunned The Diplomat scored a third season, The Long Walk is being pitched as Stand By Me meets Squid Game, California finally bans loud streaming commercials, and Amazon censored Bond posters to remove guns because apparently irony is dead. AI “musicians” are signing record deals while Zelda Williams begs people to stop resurrecting her dad with deepfake garbage. In Apps & Doodads, Jony Ive's OpenAI gadget is delayed (good), Rivian insists we'll “appreciate” not having CarPlay (we won't), Spotify and ChatGPT are teaming up to read your soul through playlists, and Jason warns everyone that the Echo Show is basically an ad-spewing parasite. Apple's now facing a cybercrime probe in France for Siri's wiretapping habits, and if you're nostalgic for simpler times, ioquake3 will let you relive Quake III Arena glory on a modern rig. At the Library, Peter Cawdron's Dark Beauty: First Contact belly-flops as a Slaughterhouse-Five tribute, while Cory Doctorow's Enshittification nails exactly why everything sucks—even if his fixes are pure science fiction.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - clnmy.com/GrumpyOldGeeks - Use code OLDGEEKS for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Built on the Ampr Small platform and targeting 6.2 miles per kWh, it aims to combine efficiency, affordability, and rapid production turnaround.  Ferrari Elettrica revealed  Ferrari's first EV, the Elettrica, is a four‑door, four‑motor GT producing over 1,000 hp and 0–62 mph in 2.5 seconds. With 323‑mile range and advanced in‑house engineering, it showcases Ferrari's blend of luxury innovation in electric form.   Rivian adopts Google Gemini AI   Rivian is replacing Alexa with Google's Gemini AI for a more advanced in‑vehicle assistant that manages navigation, messaging, and media naturally. The new system keeps Rivian's software platform independent while enhancing control and integration.   Rivian CEO confident for R2  CEO RJ Scaringe says development of Rivian's $45,000 R2 compact EV is on track for 2026, marking his highest confidence in the company's future. Backed by Amazon and Volkswagen, Rivian aims to expand EV accessibility through advanced, software‑led design.   Volvo EX40 to use SPA3  Volvo's upcoming EX40 will debut the SPA3 platform with cell‑to‑body batteries, new motors and megacasting for major cost and efficiency gains. Launching in 2027 under $50,000, it will offer up to 350 miles of range and support future‑ready tech.   Tesla trims Model 3 features  Tesla's new base Model 3 and Model Y remove certain comfort and powered features to cut cost and entry price. The pared‑back design lowers prices to make ownership more accessible, though with slightly reduced performance and range.   BYD sales surge overseas  BYD's September German registrations jumped 2,225% year‑on‑year, driving European growth despite softer China demand. Overseas sales rose 123% to 697,000 units this year, reinforced by upcoming local assembly plants in Hungary, Brazil, and Uzbekistan.   Skoda overtakes BMW in German BEV sales   Skoda has climbed to second place in Germany's BEV market behind Volkswagen with 34,567 sales, edging out BMW. Higher discounts and more choice are boosting EV market share while Tesla stabilizes after earlier dips.   Nissan third‑generation Leaf orders   Nissan will open Japan orders for its redesigned Leaf on 17 October, offering 702 km range and faster 35‑minute charging. Priced from about ¥5.2 million before subsidies, it signals Nissan's renewed push for global EV leadership.   Ionity launches subscription plans   Ionity's new Power 365 and Motion 365 plans offer fixed‑rate, transparent ultra‑rapid charging across Europe for 12 months at the price of 10. With access to 5,000 chargers, the subscriptions make long‑distance EV travel simpler and more predictable.   FedEx Australia adds 55 electric vehicles   FedEx has deployed 55 electric delivery vehicles across Australian cities, marking a shift from trials to daily operations. Using Fuso eCanters and Mercedes eSprinters, the rollout supports FedEx's goal to fully electrify its fleet by 2040.   Fuell assets sold   Fuell, Erik Buell's electric mobility firm, sold its assets for just $170,000 following bankruptcy and low awareness. The sale concludes a once‑promising venture, though a new owner could yet revive the innovative brand.   Pakistan's fake “graphene” batteries issue   About 90% of Pakistan's e‑bikes reportedly use mislabeled lead‑acid “graphene” batteries, undermining EV subsidy goals. Industry leaders are urging the government to shift incentives toward true lithium‑ion systems for quality and consumer protection.

Government grants and incentives have widened adoption, and zero-emission vehicles now account for over 22% of new cars registered in 2025, while diesel registrations plummeted to historic lows. TESLA TEASES OCTOBER 7 MODEL Y REVEAL Tesla released a teaser for an October 7 Model Y reveal, sparking speculation over a more affordable variant intended to boost sales momentum and address product aging. The event is pivotal as Tesla faces pressure from competition and expiring federal incentives; analysts expect production ramp-up of the lower-cost Model Y in Q4. TESLA GERMANY SEPTEMBER SALES AND BYD SURGE In Germany, BEV registrations rose 31.9% year-over-year, but Tesla's numbers fell 9.4% in September and halved since January, while Chinese rival BYD saw registrations soar beyond twenty-fold for the month. The rise of competitors and market diversification are accelerating electrification, prompting legacy automakers to refresh offerings despite Tesla's updated Model Y achieving stronger results in other parts of Europe. EUROPE EV SALES RISE IN AUGUST European plug-in vehicle sales climbed 36% year-over-year in August to about 246,000 units, outpacing overall market growth and raising BEV share to 21%. Popular models like Tesla's Model Y, Skoda Elroq, and Model 3 contributed to momentum, reinforcing investment in charging infrastructure and fleet electrification. FRANCE SEPTEMBER EV MARKET UPDATE France saw 140,090 total registrations in September with plug-in vehicles making up 29% of sales, as BEVs and PHEVs increased their market share compared to last year. The Tesla Model Y led the month's results with its best French volume in two years, pointing to strengthening Q3 demand for electrification despite a slight year-to-date shortfall. AUDI US EV SALES SURGE Q3 2025 Audi's U.S. EV sales leaped 232% to 18,071 units in Q3 2025, with electrics making up 39% of the brand's quarterly volume as the Q6 e-tron outsold its ICE sibling Q5. The shift signals consumer preference for electric variants, but ongoing growth depends on scaled production, dealer readiness, and effective ownership economics. CADILLAC Q3 EV SALES SURGE Cadillac delivered 18,383 EVs in Q3—a record since 2013—boosted by expiring tax credits, with electric models chosen by 40% of buyers in the period. Q3 EV deliveries rose 154% year-over-year, though upcoming quarters will test Cadillac's ability to sustain the momentum. BMW AND STELLANTIS MATCH FEDERAL EV CREDIT BMW and Stellantis are offsetting the loss of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit by applying equivalent discounts to eligible electric and plug‑in hybrid models. The offers, restricted to dealer inventory and requiring delivery by early November, are intended to prevent immediate price hikes and maintain sales amidst changing incentives. DACIA SPRING UPGRADED WITH MORE POWER AND LFP Dacia's upgraded Spring city car features new, more powerful motors and a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that improves cost and safety while maintaining a WLTP range of 140 miles. The revised models, now quicker and more efficient, are priced from £15,000 to £17,000 and arrive early next year. SCANIA HIGH-FLOOR ELECTRIC COACH PLATFORM Scania has launched a high-floor battery-electric coach platform with up to 600 km range, supporting multiple body types and maintaining luggage space comparable to conventional coaches. The new platform comes with integrated smart charging services and aims to advance commercial vehicle electrification across Europe. KIA PV5: ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMERCIAL VAN Kia's new PV5 electric van, built on a dedicated E-GMP.S platform, offers multiple body styles, battery options up to 258 miles, and fast DC charging of up to 150 kW. Integrated fleet management and warranty features support commercial use, with mass production underway in Korea. ILLINOIS EV FAST CHARGING: $15 FLAT Universal EV Chargers now provide flat-rate, $15-per-session DC fast charging across Illinois, eliminating time-based pricing and surprise surcharges. Drivers use CCS or NACS connectors, scan to start, and benefit from predictable costs with a growing statewide coverage. RIVIAN ADDS LIDAR TO AUTONOMY PLATFORM Rivian will incorporate LiDAR sensors into its next-generation vehicles to bolster their autonomy platform, reflecting industry trends as costs for the technology decrease. Recent hires and tech stack updates align with CEO RJ Scaringe's statements about Rivian's long-term focus on advanced driver-assistance systems.

My guest today: Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe. This is RJ's third time on the show, and it felt like the perfect follow-up to my conversation last week with Ford CEO Jim Farley. I loved the idea of going straight from Ford to Rivian. And if you listened to the Farley episode, this one flows nicely. RJ and I cover a lot of the same challenges: tariffs, China, EV pricing. Of course, I also asked about CarPlay.  Links:  A pretty fascinating look under the hood of the Rivan R2 | The Verge Rivian CEO says CarPlay isn't going to happen | The Verge Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe says too many carmakers are copying Tesla | Decoder Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe isn't scared of the Cybertruck | Decoder Rivian breaks ground on $5 billion Georgia plant | AP Rivian narrows 2025 delivery guidance Q3 as production slips | WSJ Rivian R2 remains on track for $45,000 and 2026 production | Car and Driver Credits: Decoder is a production of The Verge and part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.
