Dan and Ken sit down to tackle the nuances of Alberta antelope hunting, from pre-hunt prep to field execution. After tagging out early this season, Ken shifts his focus to helping his niece harvest a buck. He shares insights from his trip—including setting up his SUV as a mobile base camp, using the iHunter app to scout and secure land permissions, and adjusting his size expectations on the ground. The pair also explore critical hunting tactics, including navigating the rut, understanding antelope vision, practicing long-range shooting, and building meaningful relationships with private landowners.

VOLKSWAGEN OPENS ORDERS FOR LONGER ID. BUZZ CARGOVolkswagen has opened German orders for the longer ID. Buzz Cargo, which increases load volume from 3.9 to 4.4 cubic metres, gains a wider side opening for a Euro pallet and uses an 86 kWh battery, with prices from €50,630 for the 250 kW AWD version and €48,490 for the forthcoming 210 kW RWD model. Quoted ranges are 430–460 km for AWD and 450–490 km for RWD, with 200 kW DC charging, 11 kW AC charging, one-pedal driving and 3.0 kW continuous vehicle-to-load power.ALPINE ADDS COLLECTION PACKAGE TO ELECTRIC A290Alpine has introduced a more restrained Collection styling package for the A290 GT, GT Performance and GTS, adding body-colour wheelarches, a black steering wheel, silver brake calipers, exclusive matte grey-blue or metallic white paint, a gloss-black roof and diamond-cut Snowflake wheels. GT and GT Performance also receive blue-and-white fabric and faux-leather interiors, while GTS retains leather; UK timing and pricing remain unconfirmed, although a small premium over the roughly £30,000 existing range is expected.AUDI A6 E-TRON CLAIMS 831-MILE SINGLE-CHARGE RECORDRally driver Miko Marczyk drove an Audi A6 Sportback e-tron Performance 1,338 km, or more than 831 miles, on one charge over 45 hours, exceeding a previous claimed Lucid Air record of 749 miles and travelling more than 360 miles beyond the Audi's official 468-mile maximum. The 94.9 kWh car averaged 8.8 miles/kWh on a carefully selected Polish route with favourable terrain and energy-efficient Michelin tyres, making the conditions and exceptionally long journey important context for the claimed record.DACIA HIPSTER PRODUCTION PLANNED FOR 2027 AT EXPECTED £9,500Dacia is reportedly planning 2027 production of the Hipster, potentially giving Britain an electric city car costing around £9,500, although the project has not yet received final production approval. Sources indicate a 15 kWh battery and production at Shiyan in China using some previous-generation Spring components, while Dacia is still deciding between four-seat L7e and two-seat L6 configurations as it seeks a profitable sub-£10,000 starting price.EU WILL NOT VOTE ON TESLA FSD ON 6 OCTOBERTesla's attempt to secure EU-wide approval for Full Self-Driving Supervised will be discussed by the Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles on 6 October but will not be put to a vote, making December the earliest scheduled opportunity for a decision. Seven countries have authorised the driver-supervised system, but bloc-wide approval requires support from at least 15 member states representing 65% of the EU population, while concerns including speed-limit compliance remain and Tesla's reported European safety figures have not been independently audited.INDEPENDENT USED-CAR DEALERS GET FREE EV TRAININGIndependent used-car dealers can now access EV Retail Ready, a free online programme created by the BVRLA, Independent Motor Dealers Association and EVA England to improve staff knowledge of charging, running costs, ownership and the EV buying process. The four-module course takes up to two hours, includes access to Clearwatt's vehicle-specific battery, charging and real-world range data, and requires all customer-facing staff to complete the training for dealership accreditation.RENAULT PLANS €600 MILLION SPANISH FACTORY INVESTMENTRenault plans to invest €600 million through 2030 in its Valladolid and Palencia factories in Spain, preparing them for five new models including two medium-sized EVs based on the electric-specific RGEV Medium 2.0 platform. The programme, combining Renault funding with national and regional public support, also includes a battery assembly line at Valladolid and is intended to help secure the future of more than 6,000 direct jobs.US SENATORS DELAY BID FOR PERMANENT CHINESE VEHICLE BANUS senators have delayed a fast-track attempt to make restrictions on Chinese vehicles permanent while discussions continue with Republican Senator Rand Paul, whose objection prevents the unanimous consent needed despite the bill having 51 supporters. The proposal would prevent presidential waivers for Chinese manufacturers and could also affect Mercedes-Benz because Chinese investors own nearly 20% of it, although Senator Bernie Moreno said the company would have until 2030 to comply and could potentially receive waivers.SLOVENIA WILL END ELECTRIC-CAR PURCHASE SUBSIDIESSlovenia's new government will end electric-car purchase subsidies after existing funding was exhausted, shifting its electric-mobility policy towards charging infrastructure instead. Around €2.5 million is available for slower chargers and roughly €25 million is planned next year for charging infrastructure on and beyond the TEN-T network, with future support expected to rely more heavily on national rather than EU funding.ROLLS-ROYCE ELECTRIC SUV PROTOTYPE SHOWS SPLIT BONNET SEAMA photograph of Rolls-Royce's forthcoming electric SUV prototype shows a centre bonnet seam resembling a split-opening mechanism described in a 2024 BMW patent, although neither the mechanism nor the possible storage space beneath it has been confirmed. The standalone electric SUV could enter production next year alongside the V12 Cullinan, but reports of BMW Group EV technology, an 800-volt electrical system, dual motors and all-wheel drive remain expectations rather than confirmed specifications.

There's a leaked Porsche flat-eight hypercar that leaves Spike, Zuckerman, and Jonny scratching their heads. Plus, the $2M GT2 RS dealer drops the price by a few grand and calls it a "price improvement," an enormous classic Porsche collection has the guys losing their minds, and Bring a Trailer pulls a Corvette auction after catching shill bidding in real time. ______________________________________________

Hugh Hallman, Attorney, Educator, and former Mayor of Tempe, joins Seth in studio for the full hour with his son Louis to explain the intricacies of inflation, government policies, and the impact on everyday people. The current economic problems we face today are being misattributed to the wrong presidential administration. The trio discuss that the massive increase in inflation during the Biden era was a direct result of the massive spending and money printing that occurred during that time. They also touch on the concept of "sticky" prices and how they're influenced by cumulative inflation. The conversation also explores the unintended consequences of government policies, such as the corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards, which have led to the homogenization of car designs and the rise of sport utility vehicles (SUV's). They also discuss the importance of understanding the difference between real and perceived inflation, and how people's memories and perceptions can be misled by short-term economic fluctuations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

FOLLOW UP: BIG PUSH TO PROTECT UK AUTOMOTIVE RELEVANCEThe campaign to push both the UK Government and EU into a favourable deal connected to the ‘Made in Europe' regulation is gaining momentum from within the industry. The SMMT has produced a report to claims the UK industry contributes €24 billion in ‘economic activity' across the continent. This is to try and show that be excluding the UK would actually hurt the EU. Click this article link from Motor Trader, to read more.The EU, for its part, has some demands of the UK, if they are to be considered to be covered. First and foremost is to impose extra tariffs on Chinese imports. This comes off the back of the suggestion it should join the EU's customs union, as that means aligning with the economic policies of the bloc. Click this EV Powered article link for more.Meanwhile, the ACEA (European equivalent to the SMMT), has called on a delay for the stricter rules of origin for the batteries of electric vehicles, between the UK and the EU. By pushing it back until 2029 that will save billions in extra costs.

Reports state options being considered include asking employees to work longer without extra pay, changing holiday and Christmas bonuses as well as eliminating special payments. These options have been gift-wrapped in the not-at-all threatening statement that two German plants are at risk otherwise. If you want to read more, click this Reuters article link here.CONSUMERS AND FLEETS ENCOURAGED TO CLAIM FROM SHIIPING CARTELIn 2016 the EU found that several vehicle carriers had created a cartel to keep prices favourable to them at the cost to the buyers of those vehicles. In the UK the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) has announced the compensation due to those who bought or leased a new vehicle between 18 October 2006 and 6 September 2015. For the first effected vehicle it is expected that the person will receive £25, for multiple vehicle claims the second to sixth should get £5 per vehicle and those over six are presumed to be getting £2.50 per vehicle. Which seems pittance and won't affect the companies who have been found guilty of breaking the law. Again. For more on this, including the link to sign up for potential compensation, click this FleetWorld article link here.MOTOR INDUSTRY WANTS HELP TO TRANSITION TO DEFENCEElements of the UK motor manufacturing industry have asked the UK Government for help in transitioning to serve the defence sector as geopolitical tensions rise and local car industry is under increased pressure. This follows moves in Europe where they are doing this.

The one at Munich will remain and is their last in Germany. Lots of corporate language was used, but essentially they're in trouble and their European adventure seems almost over. Click this electrive article to read more.Meanwhile, Geely has announced that it will be integrating with the technology of Nio to enable battery swapping in it's vehicles in the future and working closely with them to integrate their networks. The deal is quite complicated with each company owning shares in each other's subsidiaries. If you want to find out more, click this electrive article link here.TWO-THIRDS OF UK DRIVERS CONFIRM THEY CAN'T DRIVE IN THE COUNTRYSIDEWe came across an interesting article on Motoring Research, which discussed a ‘survey' by an insurance company. The headline from the research is two-thirds of UK drivers want a lower speed limit on country roads. The wonderfully deadpan way this was written exposes the nature and silliness of these ‘surveys', which are generated for publicity. In reality it was demonstrating so many feel incompetent behind the wheel as well as then bringing in irrelevant stats about the number who exceed the national speed limit, like that would change with a reduction. Click this article link if you wish to see how daft so much of what goes for ‘safety discourse' is today and how well that was laid out.BBC TO SHOW THE WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP FROM NEXT YEARGreat news, for those who love the World Rally Championship (WRC) and are based in the UK, as it has been announced that the BBC have a three year deal to show the championship on their platforms.

In dieser Folge sprechen wir über ein Auto, in dessen Lastenheft eine einzigartige Forderung enthalten war: Vorne sollte Walter Röhrl bequem sitzen können – und dahinter Wendelin Wiedeking, der auch nicht gerade klein gewachsene Chef der Marke Porsche. Widerspruch war natürlich zwecklos, und so kam der Porsche Panamera zu seiner etwas skurrilen Form und dem Kosenamen „Buckelwal“. Heute, im Zeitalter der SUV, wirkt so ein großer Gran Turismo schon wieder fast aus der Zeit gefallen. Aber genau das ist es ja oft, was den Reiz eines jungen Klassikers verstärkt. Was die Faszination des sportlichen Zweitonners ausmacht und wie seine Zukunft aussehen könnte, darüber diskutieren Frank Otero Molanes, Jens Seltrecht und Christian Steiger.Executive Producer: Christoph Falke & Ruben Schulze-FröhlichProjektleitung: Lukas HambrechtSounddesign & Produktion: Fabian SchäfflerMarketing und Ansprechpartner: Bastian SchonauerCopyrights Cover: www.oldtimer-markt.de Hosted on Acast.

Visit our website ➡️➡️➡️ https://www.majesticproduction.com/Folks, RAW delivered one of the wildest closing brawls I've seen in a long time, plus a bunch of genuinely good wrestling all the way through. Nobody breaks it down more honestly than I do, believe me.The Bloodline opened the show hunting for the 946 after they kidnapped Solo Sikoa — Jimmy said this is something they cannot come back from, and Fatu declared it's "all gas, no brakes" tonight after weeks of preaching restraint. When a truck pulled into the parking area, The Usos and Fatu sprinted to the back assuming the 946 had arrived, and jumped a completely innocent stagehand opening the door for... Jaida Parker of NXT, there to meet Adam Pearce. That poor guy got killed for absolutely nothing, folks!Lola Vice beat Roxanne Perez in a good opener with a spinning back fist, and the chaos kept rolling afterward — Raquel Rodriguez attacked Vice, Sol Ruca ran in with a springboard dropkick, and Perez capped it off by nailing Vice with the Pop Rocks anyway.Oba Femi then delivered a message for The Vision, showing up dressed for business with a contract stamped by Triple H himself. When the crowd booed Bronson Reed's name, Femi got a genuine laugh out of me with "I know, he sucks." He declared himself "the captain now" and called Reed out to sign a Money in the Bank contract. Reed came out, bragged about putting Femi down twice already, signed the deal, and Femi warned him he'd just sealed his fate. Good segment, folks, though WWE really needs to retire that awkward split-screen bit where two or three fans weakly copy Femi's dance in the crowd.Dragon Lee beat Big Cass with a slick jackknife cover after countering a chokeslam attempt — good match. Iyo Sky beat Lyra Valkyria after Bayley, wearing a "Ben" armband for PAC, distracted Valkyria from the commentary table long enough for Sky to hit a dropkick and finish with a moonsault. Another good match, folks.JD McDonagh and Dominik Mysterio lost to Je'Von Evans and Penta in a super fun tag match, made even better by Joe Hendry bringing out JD's Funko Pop father to lead the crowd in singing "JD McDonagh is a Funko Pop!" Penta finished Dominik off with a Mexican Destroyer — but Bron Breakker stormed in from the crowd afterward and speared both Evans and Penta, clearly settling the score after failing to beat Evans clean last week.And then, folks, the main event — an absolute war between The Bloodline and the 946 that spilled everywhere: through security, into the ring, through the tech area, and all the way into the parking garage. Jacob Fatu and Royce Keys tore into each other with chairs and road cases while the Usos battled Bronco Nima and Lucien Price. This finally answered the question of whether Fatu was secretly in on it with the 946 — he was NOT, folks, he fought Keys tooth and nail the entire time. Keys tried escaping in Jaida Parker's SUV, Fatu ripped him back out through the window... and then, out of nowhere, a car plowed straight into Jacob Fatu. Out stepped Jaida Parker, dropping the innocent act completely, telling Fatu nobody is safe, before climbing in with Royce Keys and driving off together. Keys screamed "All gas, no brakes!" on the way out. Jaida Parker is officially the newest member of the 946, folks. Tremendous, shocking way to close the show.LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and tell me — did you see Jaida Parker's turn coming?Watch our full podcast here ➡️➡️➡️ anchor.fm/majestic-production

Redundancia en ADAS o solo cámaras: la guerra tecnológica y geopolítica por el cerebro del coche autónomo. La industria de la automoción se encuentra inmersa en una encrucijada tecnológica y regulatoria que definirá las próximas décadas del transporte por carretera. Tras años de promesas sobre la conducción desatendida, el debate ya no gira en torno a si el coche autónomo llegará a nuestras calles, sino a través de qué arquitectura sensorial y bajo qué marco legislativo lo hará. El análisis de los últimos ensayos independientes de Euro NCAP y la inminente votación comunitaria en Bruselas ponen sobre la mesa dos escuelas de ingeniería enfrentadas: la corriente de la visión pura (confiar la percepción del entorno exclusivamente a cámaras ópticas y redes neuronales) frente al modelo de la redundancia sensorial (duplicar la detección combinando cámaras con radares de ondas milimétricas o sensores LiDAR). [ Los Dos Bloques en la Arquitectura Sensorial de ADAS ] +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | VISIÓN PURA (Solo Cámaras) | REDUNDANCIA SENSORIAL (Fusión) | +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | * Modelo promovido por Tesla y | * Modelo adoptado por XPeng, | | ciertos desarrolladores asiáticos| fabricantes europeos y consorcios| | * Menor coste de hardware y montaje| * Cámara + Radar / LiDAR | | * Menor consumo computacional | * Doble verificación de coherencia | | * Menor huella energética | * Mayor coste y exigencia de CPU | | * Impulso a la homologación Nivel | * Presión para saltar al Nivel 3 | | 2++ en mercados comunitarios | exigiendo redundancia obligatoria| +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ La estrategia de XPeng y la frenada a 4 km/h El desembarco de nuevos fabricantes tecnológicos como XPeng en el continente europeo ilustra una alteración profunda en los ciclos tradicionales del automóvil. Mientras los fabricantes históricos acostumbran a comercializar primero sus modelos y someterlos a los ensayos de Euro NCAP posteriormente (si deciden hacerlo de forma voluntaria), las firmas tecnológicas de nueva hornada han invertido el proceso: pasan primero por el laboratorio de choque y, con las cinco estrellas bajo el brazo, programan el inicio de sus ventas hasta un año o año y medio después. Así lo demuestran las evaluaciones consecutivas de Euro NCAP: Año 2023: Obtención de cinco estrellas para la berlina P7 y el gran SUV G9. Año 2024: Máxima calificación de cinco estrellas para el SUV coupé G6. Redundancia efectiva en el asistente AEB Al examinar con rigor los protocolos de seguridad activa del XPeng G9, el informe técnico de Euro NCAP destaca la presencia de una arquitectura redundante de radar y cámara en su sistema de frenado autónomo de emergencia (AEB - Autonomous Emergency Braking): Eficacia coche a coche: En los escenarios de aproximación y colisión por alcance entre turismos, el sistema del G9 registró 8,3 puntos sobre 9 posibles, situándose en la cúspide de su categoría. Umbral mínimo de actuación (4 km/h): La mayoría de los asistentes AEB del mercado comienzan a operar a partir de velocidades de 8, 10 o incluso 15 km/h. El sistema de XPeng activa su umbral de detección e intervención automática desde tan solo 4 km/h. Esta calibración no es casual. La velocidad media de marcha de un peatón adulto se sitúa en torno a los 6 km/h. Hacer descender el umbral de disparo del freno autónomo a 4 km/h constituye una declaración de intenciones orientada a la protección de usuarios especialmente vulnerables en maniobras de baja velocidad: niños pequeños cruzando por ángulos muertos, ancianos con movilidad reducida o personas con andadores en entornos residenciales y aparcamientos. La física de la duplicidad: ventajas y costes de la redundancia Tener dos sistemas que realizan la misma función de observación responde al principio de la doble verificación cruzada. Sin embargo, la redundancia no consiste en sumar sensores sin más; introduce una severa complejidad informática: Gestión de la coherencia en milisegundos: Cuando una cámara detecta un obstáculo visual (por ejemplo, una sombra densa o una bolsa de plástico alzada por el viento) pero el radar de microondas indica que no hay densidad de masa metálica o biológica delante, el procesador debe decidir cuál de las dos fuentes tiene prioridad. Si el algoritmo no está perfectamente calibrado, se producen las temidas "frenadas fantasma" en plena autovía. Costes computacionales y huella energética: Duplicar o triplicar el flujo de datos (radar, cámara y LiDAR) exige unidades de procesamiento gráfico (GPU) de alto rendimiento, elevando el coste de fabricación por vehículo, incrementando el consumo eléctrico de la batería y encareciendo el precio final para el comprador. Frente a esta dificultad, la corriente de la visión pura —abanderada en Estados Unidos por firmas como Tesla y secundada por diversos desarrolladores asiáticos— sostiene que el ser humano conduce utilizando únicamente dos ojos y un cerebro biológico. Su meta consiste en abaratar al máximo el vehículo eliminando radares y sensores caros, concentrando toda la inversión en inteligencia artificial capaz de inferir distancias y velocidades relativas analizando imágenes en dos dimensiones. La batalla geopolítica en Bruselas: la fecha del 6 de octubre de 2026 La disputa técnica ha saltado de los bancos de pruebas a los despachos comunitarios, convirtiendo a la Unión Europea en el principal tablero de pugna entre la tecnología estadounidense y la asiática. El núcleo de la controversia política se centra en la votación prevista en la Comisión Europea para el 6 de octubre de 2026, donde los Estados miembros debaten qué marco normativo regulará la conducción desatendida en el territorio de la Unión: [ La Pugna Normativa en la Comisión Europea ] +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | OPCIÓN A: Aprobar Nivel 2++ | OPCIÓN B: Salto al Nivel 3 | | (Vía de Visión Pura) | (Exigencia de Redundancia) | +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | * Valida sistemas de guiado | * Salto legal hacia la autonomía | | avanzado basados solo en cámaras | condicional (el coche asume la | | * Precedente: homologaciones | responsabilidad jurídica) | | nacionales en Países Bajos | * Introduce la obligación de | | * Favorece a modelos de bajo coste | incorporar sistemas redundantes | | de hardware (Tesla y otros) | * Deja fuera del mercado a los | | * Mantiene al humano como último | vehículos que solo equipan | | responsable legal del control | cámaras sin radar | +------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ Los defensores de la redundancia sensorial presionan a las autoridades comunitarias para que la normativa desestime el denominado escalón "Nivel 2++" (asistencia muy alta pero sin responsabilidad del fabricante) y pase de inmediato a regular el Nivel 3 SAE, blindando en el articulado técnico que cualquier vehículo homologado deba contar obligatoriamente con sistemas de detección redundantes. Una maniobra que, de consolidarse en el texto europeo, expulsaría de forma fulminante a los fabricantes que han fiado todo su desarrollo a las cámaras. La ingeniería española en vanguardia: las investigaciones del INSIA En mitad de esta batalla global, los centros de investigación aplicada de las universidades españolas llevan décadas aportando rigor técnico al desarrollo del automóvil. El Instituto Universitario de Investigación del Automóvil (INSIA), adscrito a la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) y situado en la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales, no solo fue el padre del histórico Reglamento 66 de protección en autobuses; acumula más de 15 años de investigación en sistemas inteligentes y vehículos autónomos. Entre sus proyectos más destacados en materia de automatización destacan: Colaboración con CESVIMAP en Ávila: Proyectos conjuntos desarrollados hace varios años para ensayar plataformas experimentales equipadas con múltiples capas redundantes de sensores, con el fin de estudiar la interconexión de datos, los márgenes de fallo y la respuesta de los algoritmos ante condiciones meteorológicas adversas. Formula Student Driverless: Participación en competiciones internacionales en el Reino Unido donde los equipos de ingeniería compiten con monoplazas que ruedan sin piloto, evaluando tanto vehículos desarrollados desde el chasis como software de control embebido en plataformas comunes. El VAMTAC autónomo militar: En paralelo a la reconversión y diseño de vehículos militares híbridos para el Ejército, el INSIA desarrolló una versión experimental driverless sobre la plataforma del todoterreno táctico VAMTAC (Vehículo de Alta Movilidad Táctico), sometiéndolo a complejas pruebas de navegación sin intervención humana en terrenos hostiles. Como recordatorio histórico de la evolución de la industria, las instalaciones del INSIA albergan piezas icónicas de nuestro patrimonio automovilístico, como un Renault 4 de fabricación nacional (Fasa Valladolid) donado por la familia del poeta y premio Nobel Vicente Aleixandre y restaurado por el propio instituto en el año 2009, matriculado como vehículo histórico. Un contraste absoluto entre la mecánica elemental que motorizó a la España del siglo XX y los algoritmos que hoy gobiernan el asfalto. De la resistencia del aficionado a la seguridad colectiva Para los apasionados del motor (los tradicionales petrolheads), la llegada de la conducción autónoma suele despertar un rechazo emocional vinculado a la pérdida del placer de conducir. Sin embargo, en el análisis diario de la convivencia urbana, la automatización se revela como una herramienta indispensable: El tedio de los atascos: La experiencia al volante pierde cualquier componente vocacional o divertido cuando el conductor queda atrapado durante horas en las retenciones cotidianas o en rotondas colapsadas. Delegar esas maniobras de arranque y parada repetitivas en un software autónomo reduce la fatiga y el estrés del conductor. El paralelismo de 1959 con Nils Bohlin: Cuando el ingeniero Nils Bohlin desarrolló e introdujo en Volvo el cinturón de seguridad de tres puntos de anclaje a finales de los años cincuenta, gran parte de la sociedad y de la prensa de la época recibió la innovación con escepticismo e incomodidad. Hoy en día, ningún ciudadano cuestiona que aquel arnés textil representa la innovación de seguridad pasiva más eficaz de la historia, habiendo salvado más de un millón de vidas. El coche autónomo representa el equivalente contemporáneo a aquella revolución. Dado que más del 90% de los siniestros mortales siguen teniendo su origen directo en el error humano, la fatiga, el consumo de tóxicos y las distracciones con pantallas o teléfonos móviles, la implantación rigurosa de sistemas ADAS —ya sea mediante visión avanzada o con redundancia sensorial verificada— no es una opción de confort; es un deber ético ineludible para erradicar las muertes en carretera.

The Kilowatt Half Hour is back with another packed episode of EV news, car-buying advice and, naturally, plenty of waffle.This week, Ginny, Mike and Tom discuss another reborn Renault, Bentley's eye-wateringly expensive new electric SUV and the tiny new Nissan Pixo – which may or may not get Nicola hot under the collar.We also look at some surprisingly good news for high-mileage EVs, with new data suggesting electric cars are less likely to fail their MOT than petrol cars as the miles rack up.Plus, we answer your car-buying questions: should you lease a new EV for a young driver rather than buy a cheap used car? What makes the perfect electric car for an over-70s driver? And why are some car dealers apparently more interested in finance customers than people paying cash?There's also this week's EV Virgin, your suggestions for future used-car reviews, more debate about what actually counts as a Chinese car, and a return to the enduringly hilarious Deli Van saga.All that, plus your comments, questions and plenty of the banter that makes the Kilowatt Half Hour considerably longer than half an hour.Listen now and join the conversation at podcast@electrifying.com.

The fastest way to ruin a good idea is to ask people what they think of it. In this episode Alex Curtis and Stephanie go through the businesses that would never have existed if they had listened to their own market research, and what that means for the way advisers test their marketing.Red Bull: a smaller can, more expensive than Coke, and it tastes worse. No survey would ever have approved it, and it built a business that owns Formula One and football teams off one product.Domino's: customers said the crust tasted like cardboard, so the answer should have been the recipe. The biggest sales jump came from the 30 minute guarantee and the pizza tracker, because the real blocker was not knowing when the food would arrive. Same reason Uber worked, you can see the car coming.Apple, Dyson and Porsche get the same treatment: business people wanted a physical keyboard, nobody said they wanted to see their own dirt, and Porsche were told an SUV would ruin their heritage. The Cayenne became their best selling car.What we cover:Why asking for an opinion pushes people into slow, analytical thinking, when almost every real buying decision is instinctThe mental pairings that drive those instant decisions: if other people use it, it's safe; if it's expensive, it must be goodThe air fryer example, and why the cheapest option does not winWhy you should never ask friends or family whether they like your social post, website, logo or email signature. If they say yes it probably won't work, and if they say it's a bit weird you probably won't post itFrom coupons to analytics: direct response marketing measured with mail order coupons, and how reach, watch time, on-page engagement and leads do the same job now with better dataWhy trial and error beats opinion, and why the most bonkers tests are often the ones that workIf you want to know whether an idea is any good, stop asking and start measuring.

First the show starts with Sami (and his in-laws) review of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid. Loaded with impressive (and sometimes gimmicky) technology, the Santa Fe is popular with Sami's out of town guests. But is it a true three-row vehicle, and is it useful for new parents? Then Sami jumps right into a frank discussion about his expectations and experience of the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt. Is it a good cheap EV or just a cheap EV? And Sami talks briefly about his Nissan Leaf comparison. Finally, Benjamin gets another road trip experience with an electric Toyota/Subaru collab which goes by the 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland. This time he gets a working plug adapter and the guys talk about the business of making EVs and whether Toyota is fully 'in' or not. Thanks for listening!

 RENAULT 5 E-TECH GAINS RANGE WITHOUT PRICE RISERenault's MY27 Renault 5 E-Tech will retain its £21,495 UK starting price and £3,750 Electric Car Grant eligibility, while the 40kWh version offers up to 197 miles WLTP and 52kWh models increase to 259 miles through aerodynamic and battery-electronics improvements. New features include automatic SmartMode drive-mode selection, a cooled Qi2 magnetic wireless charger, upgraded 4G/5G eCall and optional Google Gemini integration, with orders opening on 22 September 2026.POLSTAR CUTS CANADIAN PRICES BY UP TO C$15,000Polestar has introduced limited-time Canadian incentives including C$10,000 Alternative Cash on the 2027 Polestar 4, up to C$15,000 off the Polestar 3 and either 0% financing with a C$5,000 EV bonus or C$8,000 Alternative Cash on the Polestar 2 Long range Dual motor. None qualifies for Canada's federal EV incentive because transaction prices remain above C$50,000, while China-built Polestar 2s can now enter Canada under the 49,000-vehicle quota at the 6.1% tariff rate.VOLKSWAGEN STARTS ID. CROSS PRODUCTION AT NAVARRAVolkswagen has begun series production of the ID. Cross electric SUV at its Navarra plant in Spain, alongside the Škoda Epiq, with launches planned across 34 countries and German pricing eventually starting at €27,995 for the entry-level Trend. Front-wheel-drive versions offer 85kW, 99kW or 155kW outputs with 37kWh or 52kWh batteries, providing up to 427km WLTP range and DC charging at up to 105kW.VOLKSWAGEN CANCELS PLANNED EXTRA WOLFSBURG SHIFTS, INCREASES EV PRODUCTIONVolkswagen's German battery-electric order intake has overtaken combustion-engine orders, prompting the company to cancel planned extra shifts at its combustion-only Wolfsburg plant while adding shifts for EV production at Emden. Four small EVs produced in Spain have accumulated more than 100,000 pre-orders, including over 40,000 for the ID. Polo, while German BEV registrations rose 75.1% year on year in August to 68,930 vehicles and a 32.4% market share.LEAPMOTOR PASSES 1,000 EUROPEAN RETAIL LOCATIONSLeapmotor says its European network reached 1,020 retail locations across 36 countries in September 2026, roughly two years after launching European sales through its Stellantis joint venture. The network now covers around 80% of the region and puts customers an average 22-minute drive from a retailer, giving the relatively new Chinese brand access to Stellantis's established sales and after-sales infrastructure.EVS FAIL MOTS LESS OFTEN THAN PETROL ABOVE 120,000 MILESAnalysis of more than 45 million MOT tests by New AutoMotive found electric cars were 25% less likely than comparable petrol cars to fail once mileage exceeded 120,000 miles, with EV failure rates remaining around 16% from roughly 60,000 miles while petrol and diesel rates continued rising. EVs nevertheless recorded around 1.8 times as many tyre defects as petrol vehicles, while hybrids also performed strongly and in several categories had lower failure rates than both petrol cars and BEVs.ENBW OPENS 480 KW CHARGING PARKEnBW has opened its first public charging park using XCharge C7 chargers rated at up to 480kW, with 12 charging points at its Stuttgart headquarters site and capacity to expand to 20. The company plans to deploy 480kW technology at a double-digit number of charging parks by the end of 2026, while the new site also includes seating, vending facilities, an automated toilet and a 16kWp solar canopy.CHINA OPPOSES REPORTED EU HYBRID LIMITSChina has strongly opposed reports that the EU asked it to voluntarily restrict hybrid-vehicle exports to around 15% of the European market, although neither side has confirmed such an agreement. China's commerce ministry said voluntary export restrictions would violate WTO rules and fair-competition principles, while the foreign ministry said Beijing would protect the interests of Chinese EV companies affected by EU measures.BRUEGEL PUTS EU BATTERY RULE COST AT €2,100Bruegel estimates that requiring EU-origin battery cells for vehicles receiving certain forms of public support could increase production costs by around €2,100 for an EV with a 60kWh battery, based on estimated cell costs of €85/kWh in Europe versus €50/kWh globally. The proposed Industrial Accelerator Act remains under negotiation and would apply only to specified procurement and support programmes, while Bruegel stresses that its €2,100 figure is a production-cost estimate rather than a prediction of the retail-price increase consumers would pay.SCARINGE SAYS R3 WILL BE PRICED BELOW R2Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe says the forthcoming R3 will be priced materially below the R2 and that a later R4 will move the price point lower again, although Rivian has announced pricing for neither vehicle. The R2 Standard is expected by late 2027 at $45,000 with more than 275 miles of estimated range, while R3 production details remain limited and Rivian's Georgia factory, intended to build R2 and R3 vehicles, is targeted to begin production in 2028.

Which BMW X5 should you actually buy? Sean Troy has owned 103 E53 X5s, still keeps 28 of them, and runs Alpine Rennsport, a BMW and Porsche shop in Cleveland, Georgia. In this episode, he walks through every X5 generation from the perspective of someone who fixes them for a living. You'll hear why the E70 35d is his pick at $15,000, why he'd stay away from the twin-turbo V8s, which E53 engine is best for DIY owners, what's starting to fail on the G05, and his picks at $10k, $25k and $50k.

Tim Mendenhall from Galpin Auto Group - What Mountain Bikers Should Actually Look For In Their Next VehicleWhat does buying a car have to do with mountain biking? Everything, when you're trying to get bikes, buddies, and gear to the trailhead every weekend.This week I sat down with Tim Mendenhall from Galpin Auto Group at SkyPark Bike Fest. Tim is Finance Director at Galpin Motors and has been part of the team that built Galpin into the world's largest volume Ford dealership for 22 consecutive years. Founded in 1946 and headquartered in LA's San Fernando Valley, Galpin isn't just Ford. As an auto group they represent over 12 different brands including Volkswagen, Mazda, Honda, Lotus, Ford, Lincoln, Polestar and Volvo, plus a huge pre-owned inventory they competitively price against hundreds of other dealerships. We talk about:What Tim looks for as a Finance Director - how to get riders a good deal without the typical dealership pressureThe best Galpin options for mountain bikers: F-150 & Ranger for tailgate pads and moto-style hauling, Bronco / Explorer / Subaru Outback & Crosstrek / Mazda CX-50 for hitch rack life, and Transit for full van-life bike garage buildsWhy having Ford, Lincoln, Honda, VW, Mazda, Subaru, Volvo, Jaguar, Lotus and Aston Martin all under one family matters - you can compare truck vs SUV vs efficient daily driver in one place How Galpin thinks about racks, towing, interior bike storage, and real rider use - not just spec sheetsTips for financing your adventure rig the smart wayIf you're daily driving to Greer, SkyPark, or shuttling up to Mammoth, this one's for you. Galpin has been doing this since post-war car culture started in SoCal, and they get the active lifestyle.Check their inventory at galpin.com

SKODA LOSE A CEO AND VOLVO GAIN ONEKlaus Zellmer is leaving Skoda to head up Volvo. Håkan Samuelsson will hand over the reigns of the Swedish company no later than 1 October 2027 as per his contract. Zellmer had been in charge of Skoda since 2022 and with the VW Group for almost 30 years. If you wish to find out more, click this Autocar article link here.Not content with appointing a new CEO, Volvo have plans to launch 13 new models by 2030. Additionally, they will be developing model variant specifically for different regions. Reading between the lines of the announcement, there is hope that saloons or even estates may be making a comeback, as well as the expected SUVs. For more on this, click this link here, to an EV Powered article.EU ASKS CHINA WILL PINKY PROMISE ON EXPORTSAhead of the October deadline for the trade discussions between China and the EU, there have been calls for a self-imposed limit to exporting hybrid vehicles into Europe. Currently, special tariffs only apply to pure electric vehicles and the rate is calculated on a brand by brand basis. Chinese hybrid sales in Europe have jumped in recent months as they look to off-load their oversupply due to the Government edict on annual production numbers. China has rejected these calls. Click this electrive article to read more.MCLAREN OUTLINE THEIR FUTURE PLANSMcLaren has announced the outline of their plans for the next decade. This will include a second production facility, more models including a SUV line and the creation of thousands of jobs. All of this is thanks to a £500 million investment from their new owners, Abu Dhabi government's L'imad investment entity. They are being tasked with increasing volume too. To read more on this, click this Autocar article link here.PORSCHE CAYENNE CAN USE WIRELESS CHARGINGPorsche has confirmed that the Cayenne Electric can now come with inductive, or wireless, charging. Maximum power is 11kW, but that is the same as many home, wall charging outputs that use AC. If the driver uses the assisted parking system of the car it will make sure the vehicle is perfectly aligned, apparently. But this will not be a cheap option, as the car mounted pad itself is €1,844.50, with the floor pad being €5,116,69, according to German configurator version. If you wish to learn more, click this electrive article link here.CROSS-PAVEMENT CHARGING MADE EASIERThe UK Government, via the Department for Transport, has announced that it is going to give permitted development rights for cross-pavement charging in England. Planning permission will not be required for homes who can only have on-street charging. Permission from the local highway authority will still be required, though.

Utilising the same underpinnings as the Jaecoo 7 and Omoda 5, we get another cut and paste SUV from China, emphasising how they make vehicles so much cheaper than traditional manufacturers. Due to sharing platforms, there should be a maximum range of 279 miles, and a charge from 30-80% in 22 minutes at 120kW. Prices and full specifications are yet to be announced but the Omoda twins cost from £33,065. Click this Autocar article link, for more.Mercedes-Benz VLEOnce again we have an electric luxury MPV to discuss, this time the Mercedes option. A completely new platform, with a maximum WLTP range of 435 miles, dependent on battery and powertrain selected. Also 30-80% charging can add 226 miles in 25 minutes, if all conditions are perfect. The interior is vast and mind-bogglingly configurable, with a variety of seat types and positions. As with all Mercs these days you can get more screens than a multiplex cinema, if you so desire. Full UK specs and prices are yet to be announced. Click this Top Gear article link, for more.Genesis GV90Genesis has revealed their largest model to date, the GV90, a luxury electric SUV. Using the same platform as the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9, it is even longer at nearly 5.3 meters. There will be options for either seven seats or four, with the front two swivelling around. Additionally it will come with ‘barn doors' enabling easier in and egress. There is a 123.5kW battery pack, enabling a maximum range around 311 miles. Due to 800v architecture 10-80% charging can take from as little as 22 minutes. There has been no confirmation of exactly when it is coming to the UK and prices are expected to be well above £100,000.LUNCHTIME READ: A BOXER, A JUMPER AND A FIST FULL OF COINSOnce again Driven to Write has a fascinating and fun couple of articles about the Stellantis light commercial vehicle range (sorry for any flashbacks, Phil).

Paul Herrold of the Sons of Speed sits in for Jill this week. Paul and Tom open the show discussing Volvo's deal with Chinese car builder Geely to distribute the latter's Lynk & Co brand products in Western Europe. Volvo will retail and service the vehicles, which will be positioned below like-segment Volvo products in price and content. Tom shares a story regarding the sighting of a Cybercab equipped with a steering wheel. Tesla's new ride-hailing autonomous vehicle was designed without a steering wheel or pedals, so the recently spotted example opens the door to much speculation. Still in the first segment, Tom reviews the Lexus LX 600 SUV which is both pricey and satisfying to drive. Listen in for details. In the second segment, the hosts welcome Larry Vellequette of Automotive News to the show. Larry shares news regarding the induction of long-time Toyota steward Akio Toyoda into the Automotive Hall of Fame. Listen in to a great conversation about Mr. Toyoda and his history of thoughtful corporate leadership. In the last segment Paul is subjected to Tom's "State of the Nation" quiz. After the quiz Paul shares his first-hand account of a recent Ferrari-owners event at Wisconsin's legendary Road America race track. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Continental TerrainContact A/T2 brings more aggressive tread, Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification and a 65,000-mile limited mileage warranty to Continental's premium all-terrain tire lineup. But can a tougher-looking truck and SUV tire keep the quiet ride drivers want for their daily commute?That's the question Tire Review's David Sickels takes to Charlotte, North Carolina, for a launch featuring Tyler Hubbard, the MLS All-Star Game and plenty of conversation about what drivers actually want from an all-terrain tire.David talks with Continental's Brian Beierwaltes, head of marketing for U.S. passenger and light truck tires, and Bjoern Glaeser, head of product management, about the TerrainContact A/T2's changes from the original TerrainContact A/T and the customers Continental designed it for.Features of the TerrainContact A/T2 include:• Ride comfort and noise: Continental says the A/T2 stays as quiet as its predecessor despite its more aggressive tread.• Tread design: A bolder shoulder, deeper tread, thicker blocks and more outer-shoulder rubber aim to support traction and durability.• Snow capability: High-density siping adds biting edges, and the A/T2 carries Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification.• Wet and snow performance: Continental reports a 3% improvement in wet braking and a 10% improvement in snow performance over the predecessor.• Mileage warranty: The limited mileage warranty increases from 60,000 miles on the original A/T to 65,000 miles on the A/T2.• Sizes and fitments: Continental is launching 28 new A/T2 sizes while retaining 11 original A/T sizes for certain OE trail packages and niche fitments. Continental says the combined 39-size offering covers more than 90% of premium all-terrain buyers.For tire dealers, the conversation centers on a familiar customer: someone who wants off-road capability and a tougher look, but spends most of the week commuting, running errands and driving on pavement.What are your all-terrain customers asking for? Quiet comfort, off-road traction or the aggressive look? Tell us in the comments, and subscribe to Tire Review for more What's Treading.www.tirereview.comwww.hunter.com

A routine evening reporting assignment turned into an unimaginable nightmare in the skies above Los Angeles. NewsChopper 4, the aerial news helicopter providing coverage for NBC Los Angeles and Telemundo 52, tragically crashed in the Chatsworth neighborhood, claiming the lives of three people, including two beloved crew members and an individual on the ground. In this solemn and comprehensive episode, we examine the tragic events of that Tuesday evening. The helicopter had been hovering over the scene of a devastating vehicle collision involving an SUV and a city bus when it suddenly lost altitude. We look closely at the chilling final moments captured on broadcast audio, the immediate response from the Los Angeles Fire Department, and the initial NTSB and FAA investigations into what caused the catastrophic descent. More importantly, we honor the lives and legacies of those lost: veteran pilot George Marciniw and aerial reporter/photojournalist Eliana Moreno, who had flown together as a dedicated team since 2023, alongside the third victim. We reflect on the inherent dangers faced by field journalists and pilots who take to the skies daily to keep the public informed, and how the local news community is grieving this profound loss. Whether you are a local resident shaken by the tragedy, a media professional, or someone following major breaking news, this episode offers a respectful and thorough look at a dark day for Southern California journalism.Honor their memory with us.

Minivans are back! Or at least, that's what the numbers say. This week we talk about the surprising resurgence of the humble minivan and what it would take to turn one from a family hauler into something enthusiasts might actually want. Bigger brakes, towing capability, better interiors, road trip comfort, and enough room for motorcycles, camping gear, and questionable life decisions. We may have accidentally talked ourselves into buying one. We also dive into Porsche selling its stake in Bugatti, the continued rise of hypercar values, and why more enthusiasts seem to be gravitating back toward analog driving experiences. As collector car prices climb and modern vehicles pile on more technology, we're starting to see a growing appreciation for cars that simply do one thing well. On the practical side, GM has officially reversed course and is bringing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto back after learning exactly how much buyers care about them. We also share some tips on aftermarket CarPlay solutions for older vehicles and talk about why a dash cam may be one of the best investments you can make for your car. On this episode we also touch on a couple of tougher topics, including street racing, accountability, and recent tragedies in the enthusiast community. We talk about the importance of remembering that while we all love fast cars and spirited driving, actions have consequences, and sometimes the hardest conversations are the most important ones to have. Plus: Jay Leno's impact on California car culture, new collector car legislation, Lincoln production moving back to the U.S., rising exotic car prices, British manufacturing, Bugatti rabbit holes, and our challenge to listeners: What would make you choose a minivan over an SUV? As always, don't just get there. Enjoy the drive. The Avants Podcast is brought to you by our friends at STEK USA and Carter Seattle!

This week on The Necessary Conversation, Chad is joined by Haley and Mary Lou, who are together in Oklahoma. Bob is still out recovering.

First up, he dons his racing monocle to test out the new Lamborghini Temerario, the replacement for the long-running and much loved Huracan. Put through its paces on the track, Benjamin details the whole 907 hp experience to you and explains what makes this supercar something unexpected in a world of hybrids. Then he jumps out of the high-speed exotic world for something more sedate and chill. The 2026 Genesis G90 arrives with fancy doors, a smart notification system, buttons for all kinds of controls and much more, though Benjamin has a few complaints to share about this fancy machine's drivetrain. The review leads our hosts to discuss the flagship vehicle world, and whether automakers are paying attention to Genesis and its developments or not. Finally, Sami chimes in with another segment of his "here's some cars he thought would work as a family car, but he likely won't buy" discussing a variety of cool European wagons. Thanks for listening everyone!

Hour 1 (09.18) She was wheeled into a San Fernando courtroom on a gurney to face murder charges — and never made it in front of a judge. Plus, the losses of LA's news community is still absorbing. 6:05 — Bailee Lynn Rios, the Simi Valley woman charged in Tuesday's Metro bus crash in Chatsworth, arrived at Superior Court in San Fernando by ambulance and was wheeled in on a gurney, but never appeared before the judge. She faces murder, DUI and reckless-driving charges; bail is $4.03 million. A new video shows her bloodied in the wrecked SUV moments after impact. Investigators say they found hard drugs in her car, and a family friend says addiction had taken over her life in recent years. Also: a heartbreaking week for L.A. and for this news community. 6:20 — A new study in Scientific Data puts Greenland and Antarctica's ice loss at 12.5 trillion tons since the 1970s, and here's the part nobody expects: roughly five-sixths of it came from warm ocean water eating the glaciers from underneath, not from sunshine melting the top. Meanwhile, the ocean took a bite out of Nicolas Cage's Malibu house — a 30-by-30-foot sinkhole swallowed the driveway, triggered a gas leak, and got five oceanfront homes red-tagged. 6:35 — George Marciniw, the pilot killed in the NBC4 news helicopter crash, was Burbank High class of '74 and never really left the neighborhood — the Blue Room knew him. A longtime colleague says he "flew that helicopter just like a feather." 6:50 — An installer on a GFiber job in Irvine asked a customer to hand over her phone to "test the Wi-Fi," then texted an explicit video from it to himself, police say.

On June 26, 2010, seventeen-year-old Tarasha “Pooh” Benjamin left her home in Selma, Alabama, for a routine Saturday trip to the local flea market. Hours later, the SUV she had been driving was found abandoned and damaged—but Tarasha was nowhere to be found. More than sixteen years later, her disappearance remains unsolved, and her family is still waiting for answers.

Hour 1 (9.16) It was a brutal night in the San Fernando Valley: A fatal bus crash in Chatsworth killed two passengers after a speeding SUV T-boned a bus that had the right of way, and then NBC’s News Chopper 4 went down while covering the scene, killing journalist Eliana Moreno and pilot George Marciniw. Tim plays Mark Brown’s ABC report as details pile up — the SUV driver has a long rap sheet, is booked on suspicion of murder, and is being held on more than $4 million bail. Burbank native Ross Benson of myburbank.com, who knew Marciniw for some 50 years, calls in to talk about his friend. NBC has spent the last 24 hours covering its own people; early on, some in the business thought it was a Channel 7 bird, and Tim worried it was his friend Chris Christi. The loss hits even harder because Moreno was so young, and engaged to be married. 6:05 — It was a truly horrible night last night in the San Fernando Valley. A fatal bus crash in Chatsworth, in which two people were killed, and the NBC's News Chopper 4 that was covering the crash going down, resulting in two media veterans, journalist Eliana Moreno and pilot George Marciniw, dying in the tragedy. 6:20 — To more on last night's tragedy in Chatsworth. Tim plays the news report from Mark Brown of ABC (who Tim happens to share a one-sided friendship with). All of this kicked off when a woman speeding in an SUV T-boned the bus, which had the right of way, resulting in the death of two passengers. News Chopper 4 was covering the crash when it went down. That woman had quite the long rap sheet and is now booked on suspicion of murder. She's being held on $4 million-plus bail. 6:35 — Ross Benson, who runs the website myburbank.com, was born and raised in Burbank and has lived there for 70 years. He worked with NBC 4 pilot George Marciniw, who perished in last night's helicopter crash, with the pair knowing each other for some 50 years. Ross is talking about the tragedy and his relationship with George. 6:50 — It's been tough for NBC over the past 24 hours, who have been reporting on the death of their colleagues since News Chopper 4 went down last night around 7 p.m. Initially, many people in news thought it was a Channel 7 helicopter that went down, and Tim was concerned for his friend Chris Christi. What makes this especially sad is that Eliana Moreno was so young and engaged to be married. #SanFernandoValley #fatalbuscrash #NBChelicopter #NewsChopper4 #Chatsworthcrash #ElianaMoreno #GeorgeMarciniw #MarkBrownABC #RossBenson #myburbank #ChrisChristi #TimConwayJr #TheConwayShow #KFI See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
