fWotD Episode 2927: Tesla Model S Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 10 May 2025, is Tesla Model S.The Tesla Model S is a battery-electric, four-door full-size car produced by the American automaker Tesla since 2012. The automaker's second vehicle and longest-produced model, critics have called the Model S one of the most significant and influential electric cars in the industry. It is the recipient of numerous accolades, including the Motor Trend Car of the Year Award in 2013.Tesla started developing the Model S around 2007 under the codename WhiteStar. Initially, Henrik Fisker was appointed as the lead designer for the WhiteStar project; after a dispute with Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, Fisker was replaced by Franz von Holzhausen. By 2008, von Holzhausen had designed what would become the production Model S's exterior. Tesla unveiled a prototype of the vehicle in March 2009 in Hawthorne, California. In 2010, Tesla acquired a facility in Fremont, California, to produce the Model S, which was previously owned by General Motors and Toyota. Series manufacture of the car officially began at what is now known as the Tesla Fremont Factory in June 2012. Tesla carried out the final assembly for European markets at its facilities in Tilburg, the Netherlands, between 2013 and 2021. All versions of the Model S come equipped with a single-speed transmission. The car initially used an alternating current induction motor, which was replaced by a permanent magnet synchronous reluctance motor in 2019. Constructed mostly of aluminum, the Model S shares 30 percent of its components with the Model X—a crossover SUV that was introduced in 2015. The Model S has undergone several updates during its production, the most prominent ones occurring in 2016 and 2021. These updates have usually included modifications to the motor, such as changes to power or torque, revised exterior elements, and refreshed interior features. One such change included the introduction of Tesla Autopilot—a partial vehicle automation advanced driver-assistance system—which was released in 2015. To charge the Model S, Tesla operates a network of fast-charging stations.In 2015, the Model S was the world's best-selling plug-in electric vehicle. In 2012, it was included on Time's list of the Best Inventions of the Year, and the magazine later included it on its list of the 10 Best Gadgets of the 2010s in 2019. In 2014, The Daily Telegraph described the Model S as a "car that changed the world". Road & Track argued that, with the introduction of the Model S Plaid—the high-performance version of the vehicle—and features such as the yoke steering wheel, Tesla managed to turn the Model S into "perhaps one of the worst [cars in the world]." Some companies have customized the Model S into limited-edition body styles, including a hearse and a shooting brake.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Saturday, 10 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Tesla Model S on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kimberly.
¡Vaya sicosis! ¡Que los coches eléctricos se incendian! ¡Peligro! Es tan falso como cuando en las películas, con un simple golpe, un coche ¡explota y sale ardiendo! Vamos a ver cuáles son los motivos para que un automóvil, eléctrico, térmico o híbrido, se incendie… para que os quedéis tranquilos. Lo primero es lo primero: Quiero enviar un mensaje de apoyo a los familiares y compañeros de los dos bomberos fallecidos en un reciente incendio de un coche en un garaje de la localidad de Alcorcón, en Madrid… Muchos ánimos a todos ellos y a su compañero herido. Para mí son verdaderos héroes… En el consultorio hablamos sobre el asunto de los garajes… ahora, volvamos al asunto… No voy a esperar al final para deciros dos verdades muy importantes: Es muy difícil que un coche, sea cual sea su tipo de energía se incendie. Olvidaos de las películas… Y sí es cierto que el incendio de un coche eléctrico es más peligroso y, sobre todo, más difícil de extinguir, pero no más probable. La aseguradora norteamericana AutoInsuranceEZ ha realizado recientemente un estudio en colaboración y con datos de la Junta Nacional de Seguridad en el Transporte (NTSB) y de la Oficina de Estadísticas de Transporte (BTS) de los USA con datos correspondientes al año 2020. Según este estudio, el número de incendios de todo tipo de coches no llega al 2 por ciento. Fijaos que a mí me ha parecido alto respecto a otros estudios europeos que había investigado, pero tiene lógica: Lo creáis o no, el mantenimiento de los coches en los USA es peor y más descuidado que en Europa. Según esta compañía y tras analizar millares de casos, el porcentaje de incendios en coches con motor térmico es del 1,5 por ciento… ¡ojo! Al decir coches “con motor térmico” quiere decir que incluye a modelos híbridos, que equipan un motor térmico además de uno eléctrico. Este dato es relevante. Ese porcentaje en los eléctricos es de solo un 0,3 porciento. Así que la primera conclusión es clara: Los coches eléctricos se incendian en menor medida que los que llevan tanques con combustibles fósiles. Aunque estos estudios no consideran que la edad media del parque de eléctricos es mucho más joven… algo a tener en cuenta. Este mismo estudio demuestra que los coches más proclives a incendiarse son los híbridos, con una tasa que se acerca al 2 por ciento… lo que resulta de una lógica aplastante. Tienen generalmente motor de gasolina, por tanto, su tasa por este motivo sería del 1,3 por ciento. Pero también tienen batería, que hace que tenga un 0,3 adicional…. Sumas ambas y “voìla” tienes ese 1,8 por ciento. Como te decía, una lógica aplastante. Hay también un informe sobre este asunto hecho por Tesla… pero de ese no me fio porque no confio en Elon Musk y porque no se puede ser juez y parte. De todos modos justo es reconocer que sus datos son similares a los que te he dado. ¿Por qué se incendia un coche? Como las causas son muy distintas entre térmicos y eléctricos, comenzamos por los primeros. Para que un coche térmico se incendie hacen falta dos cosas: Una, combustible “fuera de su sitio”, lo que equivale a decir fugas, y una chispa o una subida muy alta de temperatura que lo incendie… así que las causas son: - Fugas de combustible. Estas fugas pueden provenir de muy diversas causas, como mal mantenimiento, algún accidente e incluso incidente a baja velocidad o un mal diseño, que es raro, pero como ocurrir ha ocurrido. - Fallos en el sistema eléctrico. Porque esa chispa que incendie el combustible puede provenir de un cortocircuito a su vez provocado por mal mantenimiento o por un golpe. Aunque puede haber incendio sin chipa. - Sobrecalentamiento. Si el combustible se derrama sobre algún metal a muy alta temperatura, a causa de un sobre calentamiento o, vuelvo a decirlo, por un mal mantenimiento, puede inflamarse. - Componentes inadecuados. En el vano motor no debe haber elementos de fácil combustión. A veces un filtro de gasolina de mala calidad u otros elementos con tapas plásticas inadecuadas para ese uso, son un peligro. - Transporte de combustibles. En contra de lo que he oído y leído por ahí es legal, pero en recipientes homologados. Si te ves obligado a llevar combustible en el maletero del coche, ve a por él e inmediatamente descárgalo… no lo dejes ahí ni viajes con él. ¿Por qué se incendia un coche eléctrico? En los coches eléctricos se puede decir que cien por cien de las causas de los incendios provienen de las baterías. Generalmente es una fuga en alguna de las celdas que provoca un cortocircuito, una reacción química que, una vez que ha comenzado, es difícil de detener. Ese problema de fuga puede estar causado por estos tres motivos. - Sobrecalentamiento. Un cargador inadecuado, que no “para” una vez cargada la batería, puede ser una causa. - Defecto de fabricación, curiosamente, uno de los motivos más habituales. - Un golpe, no necesariamente un accidente, que hace que las baterías se golpeen entre sí y se produzcan esas fugas. Bien, ya está liada, ya tenemos el coche incendiado y ahora… Os recuerdo que ya hicimos un video titulado “Los coches eléctricos y el fuego ¿son peligrosos?” donde contábamos esto… a comienzos de 2023… porque esto no es nada nuevo. En ese video contábamos como para apagar un Tesla Model S que ardió en Austria hicieron falta 5 vehículos cisterna y 35 bomberos… casi nada. Conclusión. Podría ser esta: Los coches eléctricos se incendian menos, pero son más peligrosos. En cualquier caso, el incendio de un coche, sea el que sea, en un garaje, complica mucho las cosas por acumulación de gases, poca visibilidad, mucha acumulación de humo que no encuentra salida y dificultad de acceso. En cualquier caso, la mejor herramienta para evitar un incendio es hacer un buen mantenimiento al coche, lo que en el caso de un eléctrico incluye cargarlo adecuadamente. Y si el tuyo es diésel, de gasolina o híbrido, al menor síntoma de pérdidas de combustible, ya sea por las manchas que deja, por el olor o por ambas, hay que llevarlo al taller de forma urgente.
President Trump met with Irish Prime Minister Michael Martin ahead of St. Patrick's Day. It was a mostly cordial event even as the media tried to sow division on issues like Palestine. President Trump laid out his plan to even the playing field from the bad deals made by former U.S. presidents. As President trump purchased his Tesla Model S in the White House driveway yesterday, he expressed his determination to catch the people vandalising dealerships and destroying Teslas around the country. Steve Bannon joins me on today's show to discuss all things Trump 2.0. While Bannon has no confidence in the leadership in Ukraine, he commends President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on getting the deal done for the Ukrainian people. As China poses are more imminent threat to Taiwan, Bannon shares his strategic insight on how the U.S. would respond, including activating the U.S. Navy's 7th fleet. Bannon admires the trauma Elon Musk is dealing the the administrative state and says if President Trump calls upon him, he would meet with Musk. Technological innovations with algorithms and AI are moving at such an expeditious pace that Bannon fears our tenuous grasp on this technological leap forward could pose a risk to society as a whole.

We talk with SCCA Hall of Fame race car driver Randy Pobst. From his racing origins in a Mk1 VW Rabbit, to his 2 wins at the 24 Hours of Daytona, and his personal car collection – including his Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am and Flyin' Moose Volvo 740. To start, we'll dive into Randy's racing experience: factory contracts with Porsche, Mazda, Volvo, and Toyota. Winning the 24 Hours of Daytona not once, but twice, and his 2015 induction into the SCCA Hall of Fame. We'll cover his exploits at Thunderhill, VIR, Road Atlanta, Laguna Seca, Daytona, Pikes Peak, Sonoma, Lime Rock, Willow Springs, and more! From humble origins in a Mk1 VW Golf (no, not a GTI), to a factory-backed FX16 Toyota Corolla, to setting a Laguna Seca lap record in a McLaren Senna. Randy even worked on the set of 2 Fast 2 Furious as a driving instructor for the film's stars: Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson, and Devon Aoki – to name a few. Randy eventually met Jason while filming an uncooperative Cayman GT4 for Motor Trend, and, despite a rocky start when Jason unexpectedly flung a Range Rover off track while racing Randy in an Alfa Romeo 4C, the two teamed up again to film multiple Ultimate Drag Race, Lap Battle and ICONS episodes for Hagerty. The whole gang laments some of the most irritating modern car tech: excessively bright headlights, lights that are somehow off at night, ABS systems that fully shut down when traveling backwards, AEB overreach, and EPAS systems that completely ruin a car's limit handling by curtailing the driver's ability to quickly catch a slide (like the Shelby GT350 Randy repeatedly spun and Jason crinkled at Willow Springs – not to mention the Unplugged Performance Tesla Model 3 Randy famously wrecked at Pikes Peak). Speaking of handling, Randy divulges his dislike of twitchy cars like the Jaguar F-Type R and XJ, the KTM X-Bow, and Ariel Atom. Jason on the other hand loves an ass-y car like the V12 Vantage S, but says the Lotus Exige V6 Cup was so tail-happy it was uncontrollable. The Porsche Carrera GT is somewhere in the middle with mixed reviews and experience all around. While on the topic of handling dynamics, Randy tells us his secret plan to invent a fix for the C8 Corvette's trailing throttle oversteer. He also gives praise to Porsche's Lars Kern for his work on the latest crop of RS products – which may or may not be Randy's favorite track cars of all time out of the box, alongside the 2014 Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition. All of which receive top marks on Randy's understeer spectrum, and are polar opposites of the likes of a 1960s Cadillac. We'll touch on Randy's personal car collection as well, which includes a Volvo 740 sedan and wagon, his 1977 Pontiac Trans Am “Randit” (and its oil starvation woes), Toyota Tundra tow vehicle, VW Karmann Ghia and early Tesla Model S. Plus, Derek invents a new phrase for “road rage”, Randy bitch slaps cars out of his way, and also beautifully sings Primus' Wynona's Big Brown Beaver. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textThis podcast transcript features a conversation between the host and Arun, the founder and CEO of Electric Miles, a company specializing in AI-driven smart charging and energy flexibility solutions for electric vehicles (EVs). The discussion explores the intersection of AI and energy, focusing on how technology can optimize EV charging, reduce costs, and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.Arun shares his journey from working in the traditional energy sector, including roles with utilities in the UK and Europe, to founding Electric Miles. His inspiration came after driving a Tesla Model S, which he felt was years ahead of other vehicles in terms of technology and performance. This experience, combined with his background in energy, led him to explore how AI could revolutionize EV charging. He realized that while EVs are environmentally friendly, the electricity used to charge them often comes from non-renewable sources like coal or gas. This insight drove him to develop a solution that not only optimizes charging costs but also ensures that EVs are charged using renewable energy whenever possible.Electric Miles started as a web application designed to help EV owners charge their vehicles at the cheapest and greenest times by leveraging grid data and renewable energy availability. The platform has since grown significantly, now serving over 13,000 users and managing more than 300,000 charging sessions. Arun explains how the platform uses AI to automate charging schedules, ensuring that vehicles are charged during off-peak hours or when renewable energy is abundant. This not only reduces costs for drivers but also alleviates strain on the grid.One of the key innovations Arun discusses is energy flexibility, where EV owners can earn money by adjusting their charging behavior. For example, during peak demand, EV owners can choose not to charge their vehicles or even sell energy back to the grid. Arun highlights a project in Austria where Electric Miles successfully traded energy from EVs back to the grid in real-time, showcasing the potential of bidirectional charging. This technology allows EVs to act as mobile energy storage units, contributing to grid stability and reducing the need for additional power plants.Arun acknowledges the challenges of renewable energy, particularly its intermittency and reliance on weather conditions. He emphasizes the importance of energy storage solutions, such as batteries, to balance supply and demand. Looking ahead, Arun envisions a future where homes and businesses act as virtual power plants, using solar panels, batteries, and EVs to create a decentralized energy network. This approach could democratize energy production and consumption, making the grid more resilient and sustainable.Machine learning plays a crucial role in Electric Miles' platform, optimizing charging schedules, route planning, and energy usage for fleets. Arun stresses the importance of a customer-centric approach in product development, focusing on user experience and simplicity. He shares how the company uses AI chatbots to troubleshoot charging issues, providing real-time support to users even outside business hours.Electric Miles is expanding into new markets, including Germany, the Benelux region, and California. Arun discusses upcoming product launches, such as a net-zero program Interested in joining the podcast?

Guest: David Heinemeier Hansson, CTO & co-owner of 37signals and creator of Ruby on Rails 37signals CTO David Heinemeier Hansson has organized his life around his passions: Writing, racing sports cars, and coding. “ Why aren't we all doing that?” he wonders. “Why aren't we all trying to optimize our life in such a way that much of it is enjoyable?”Part of the problem, David argues, is that it's impossible to find a creative or productive flow inside of mainstream work culture. Open offices, managerial over-hiring, and sloppy scheduling prevents people from reaching a flow state.“40 hours a week is plenty than most people,” he says. “... So many people today are focused on just adding more and more hours. They're not thinking about how those hours are spent.” Chapters:(01:19) - 24 Hours of Le Mans (06:48) - Amateurs in sports car racing (10:54) - Flow and meditation (15:25) - Mundane bulls**t (18:14) - Optimizing for flow (21:09) - Calendars and open offices (24:30) - Full-time managers (29:06) - Small companies (32:20) - Selfishness and work (40:21) - Taking other people's money (45:43) - Temptation (49:49) - Moderately rich (55:19) - “The day I became a millionaire” (58:56) - The hassle (01:03:58) - Achieving the dream (01:08:34) - Shopify and Tobias Lütke (01:14:50) - Trade-offs and downsides (01:18:43) - The impact of Ruby on Rails (01:22:02) - “I love being wrong” (01:25:37) - DEI and illegal drugs (01:29:49) - Not hiring (01:30:35) - What “grit” means to David Mentioned in this episode: TikTok, Minecraft, Mario Kart, Formula One, NASCAR, Lewis Hamilton, the NBA, Tesla Model S, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Steve McQueen, Jason Fried, Tetris, Bullshit Jobs: A Theory by David Graeber, Elon Musk and Twitter, the Dunbar number, Zappos, Google, Adam Smith, Stripe, Meta, Jeff Bezos, Basecamp, Zapier, 1Password, GitHub, SpaceX, private jets, Aesop, the Pagani Zonda, the Porsche Boxster, Lamborghini, Coco Chanel, LeBron James, Hey, Steve Jobs, Michael Arrington and TechCrunch, Y Combinator, Dr. Thomas Sowell,Punished by Rewards by Alfie Kohn, Grit by Angela Duckworth, and LEGO.

I spoke earlier this morning on the massive discounts being offered by MG MotorAustralia on its electric MG4 hatchback for the month of December. The five-model range carrying discounts of up to $10,910 - the entry Excite 51 model nowjust $32,990 drive-away. With a 10-year warranty and a high level of equipment it’sa very compelling offer. However, this race to the bottom with pricing gives littlethought to the customers who paid much higher prices earlier in the year. As along time car industry figure said to me this week early MG 4 customers will payheavily at trade in time. With EVs now being heavily discounted low resale valuesare something that many early adopters of electric cars are now finding, andmany dealers will now not offer a trade-in price for example on older Teslamodels.

But before we get there, we have to talk about Tim Kuniskis coming back to Stellantis as the new Ram CEO, and how studies are suggesting that EVs could last longer than ICE vehicles.Show Notes with links:Tim Kuniskis is back at Stellantis, stepping in as the new Ram truck brand CEO after a brief retirement. The return comes amidst a significant leadership shake-up following CEO Carlos Tavares' resignation.Kuniskis' comeback has been met with excitement from dealers who value his market insights and approachable leadership style.Chrysler CEO Chris Feuell moves to lead Alfa Romeo in North America.Jeff Kommor returns as U.S. sales head, reversing a prior restructure of retail and commercial divisions.The shake-up follows a turbulent year for Stellantis, marked by declining sales and high inventories.Michael Bettenhausen of Stellantis' U.S. dealer council states: “Tim brings a wealth of knowledge, and everyone in the company has leaned on him for guidance at some point.”Despite myths about rapid degradation and expensive replacements, evidence suggests EV batteries are far outlasting expectations, offering long-term reliability for secondhand buyers.Studies show EV batteries retain 90% capacity after 62,000 miles and 87% after 186,000 miles, with an annual degradation rate of just 1.8%.Factors like DC rapid charging and hot climates can increase degradation, but advancements in battery management systems are mitigating these risks.Real-world data reveals early EV models like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S retain over 80% capacity after nearly a decade.Experts suggest smaller battery buffers and more transparent reporting could further reduce costs and boost confidence in secondhand EVs.“The cost of maintenance is significantly lower,” notes Geotab CEO Neil Cawse. “Brake pads, wipers, and that's about it.”Get ready for all the AI videos to hit your social media feed, as OpenAI's latest innovation, Sora, has been released, letting users generate videos from text and other inputs, marking a major leap in AI creativity.Available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers, Sora offers tools to create, remix, and animate videos up to 1080p resolution and 20 seconds long.Features include “storyboards” for multi-prompt sequences, AI-driven video blending, and a “remix” tool to refine outputs with text prompts.Videos include visible watermarks and metadata to ensure transparency, with strict content moderation policies in place.The launch follows controversy as some artists in OpenAI's alpha testing program protested, alleging their unpaid contributions were used for R&D and PR without consent.Sora product lead Rohan Sahai says, “We want to balance creative expression with preventing misuse… It's an ongoing challenge.”Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email
In this episode of the Out of Spec Podcast, we sit down with the OG Model S team (Dan, Alex, Tom) from the I-90 Surge to recount their epic cross country road trip in a 2012 Tesla Model S 85. Spanning over 63 hours from Seattle to Boston, the team faced unique challenges as they piloted one of the first DC fast charging EVs, a vehicle now over a decade old, against modern electric vehicles like the Porsche Taycan, Lucid Air, and Tesla Model 3. We dive deep into their strategy, exploring how they managed frequent charging stops, optimized efficiency with Tesla's Supercharger network, and coped with the quirks of older EV technology. They reflect on the evolution of Tesla's technology, the surprising endurance of their benchmark vehicle, and memorable moments, including landmarks, team banter, and late-night hallucinations during their sleep-deprived adventure.Shoutout to our sponsors for more information find their links below:- Fort Collins Kia: Visit focokia.com for full details.

In der neusten Podcast-Folge habe ich mit Larry Terwey gesprochen, einem leidenschaftlichen Verfechter der Elektromobilität und Vielfahrer, der jährlich zwischen 80.000 und 130.000 Kilometer elektrisch unterwegs ist. Larry, der im IT-Bereich tätig ist und oft quer durch Deutschland reist, hat seit fünf Jahren die gesamte Strecke auf Elektroautos umgestellt. In unserem Gespräch erzählt er von seinem persönlichen Weg zur Elektromobilität – von anfänglicher Skepsis bis hin zu seiner Überzeugung, dass E-Autos die Zukunft des Fahrens darstellen. Larrys Einstieg in die Elektromobilität begann bereits 2012/2013 mit einer Probefahrt im Tesla Model S, doch erst 2019 entschied er sich endgültig für den Kauf eines Tesla Model 3. Die hohen Kosten und die damals noch unzureichende Ladeinfrastruktur hatten ihn zunächst zögern lassen, ebenso wie die Diskussionen um die ökologischen Auswirkungen von Rohstoffen wie Lithium und Kobalt. Doch nach intensiver Recherche und dem Hören verschiedener Podcasts war ihm klar, dass die Vorteile überwogen. „Nach zwei, drei Monaten hab ich gemerkt, dass ich mit keinem der anderen Autos etwas hätte anfangen können als Vielfahrer“, berichtet er. Ein zentraler Punkt unseres Gesprächs war die Frage, ob Elektromobilität für Vielfahrer geeignet ist. Larry erklärte, dass er anfänglich durchaus Bedenken hatte, vor allem in Bezug auf die Reichweite und das Aufladen. Diese Zweifel haben sich jedoch schnell verflüchtigt. „Ich habe überhaupt gar keine Reichweitenprobleme“, sagt er. „Selbst auf langen Strecken habe ich durch eine gute Planung und die Nutzung der Tesla Supercharger keine Einschränkungen.“ Seine Ladestrategie: nur so viel aufladen, wie für die nächste Etappe nötig ist, um die Ladezeit zu minimieren und die Effizienz zu maximieren. Larry hebt besonders die Flexibilität hervor, die ihm die Tesla Supercharger bieten. „Andere Hersteller holen auf, aber die Dichte und Verfügbarkeit der Tesla-Ladestationen sind immer noch unübertroffen“, so Larry. Trotz der positiven Entwicklungen bei der Ladeinfrastruktur sieht er jedoch noch viel Potenzial für weitere Verbesserungen, insbesondere bei der Transparenz der Preise und der Handhabung der Ladekarten und Apps. Für Larry ist klar: Elektromobilität ist nicht nur eine alltagstaugliche Alternative, sondern auch die Zukunft des Fahrens – selbst für Vielfahrer. „Ich kenne nur sehr wenige, die sagen, das war mein letztes E-Auto“, betont er. Hört rein, um mehr über Larrys Reise in die Elektromobilität und seine Tipps für Vielfahrer zu erfahren. Nun genug der Vorworte lasst uns direkt in das Gespräch einsteigen und mehr über Larrys Erlebnisse und Einsichten erfahren.

How cool is that? Pretty, I think. Important message, guys. On October 23rd, Amazon is changing the window for which you can look back and claim that they owe you reimbursements for lost and damaged products at FBA warehouses. It used to be 18 months, but now it's going down to only 2 months. So, if you have never used a reimbursement service or Refund Genie, now is the time. Last week, I ran Refund Genie on two different accounts and got a total of over $5,000 back for those sellers. And don't forget, unlike a lot of services out there, Helium 10 doesn't take any commission on what we get back. If we say you're owed ten thousand dollars and you get back ten thousand dollars from amazon, you keep ten thousand dollars with no commission to Helium 10 at all. Refund Genie is now available to anybody who has a Helium 10 Platinum Annual Plan or higher. So, to get an estimate about on how much money you could get back, go to h10.me/refundgenie. If you've never used a Helium 10 coupon, use the code SSP10 to save money if you need to upgrade to a Platinum Annual Plan. Bradley Sutton: Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast by Helium 10. I am your host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show. That's a completely BS-free, unscripted and unrehearsed organic conversation about serious strategies for serious sellers of any level in the e-commerce world, and we've got a couple of people here that are super, super old school here at Helium 10, including the one person, the only person who has been at the company here in United States side longer than me, and then another person who was one of my first hires here at Helium 10 just a couple months after I got started. So, Gulsen and Michelle, welcome back to the show. Michelle: Hello Gulsen: Hello Michelle: wow, I feel so old. Bradley Sutton: Well, hey, that's why I'm also I'm wearing the old school Helium 10 logo shirt here to kind of like reminisce about our old days, you know, way back then in the WeWork. Now I say welcome back to the show because there's been a huge gap since Michelle and Gulsen have been on the show the word now in episode I don't know like 580 something or 590 something. Their first time on the show was episode 86, way back in December of 2019. So, if you want to get a little bit more of their backstory, go ahead and see if you can find I don't even know if you can find such an old episode, but episode 86, where we had them and some of the other members of our crew all together on one episode. But I was like you know what? It's been years since you guys have come on and each of you have interesting things to talk about. So, let's go ahead and have you guys uh back on. So, first of all, um, let's start with uh, Gulsen. Now what about you? And you know you've since before you even worked at Helium 10. You know you've had like a family Amazon business. Um, ven offline, obviously you're my co-worker, but we've never really talked about that in a long time. Like, are you guys still selling on Amazon? You selling on other market? What have you guys been doing with that side of your things? Gulsen: Yes, so you don't know this, but you know we were running that Amazon business with my husband and last year December we sold that one and the first call I received. Now my husband is building another brand. Bradley Sutton: Well, hold on. I want to talk about that. I didn't know that you were right, I had brand and I want to talk about that. I didn't know that. You're right, I had no idea. So how did you find a buyer for the business? What was it like through an aggregator? Did you use a service or just networking? Gulsen: Yeah, he was with a partner and um, he was always getting those questions like, um, if he ever likes to sell his shares and stuff, but at the time it was very good season to do that move last year December. So yeah, and it. You know it was very stressful and long journey for years but I'm so happy that we came to that ending and he took like a few weeks refresh and now he's on top of it another brand by himself right now. Bradley Sutton: Okay, so what did he scale that brand to like? what was the peak yearly sales like approximately? Gulsen: Yeah, so by the time he started it was about four hundred dollars per month. Bradley Sutton: Four hundred thousand dollars ? Gulsen: Four hundred Dollars. Bradley Sutton: Four hundred. Oh, when he started, you said yeah, okay, I was like about to say well, who is buying an amazon business that grosses $400 a month, like good grief? Okay, that makes sense now. So that was when he started, and then he scaled it to what? Gulsen: Yeah, the time he moved out that they were at monthly six figures. Bradley Sutton: Oh wow. So definitely a seven-figure brand, oh yeah, that is pretty cool and then and then. So now he's starting from scratch or like something similar, or, and he's already launched, or he's just in the planning stage right now. Gulsen: From scratch it's already launched and now, um, this time we just wanted to want it to be more on like brand side. We still use, of course, amazon and we will try to start selling on Walmart as well, but now we're just trying to be so heavy on Shopify, building the brand awareness, and then, of course, the goal is the goal again, selling it. But to me, you remember my Amazon account. I was so like a Grand Bazaar Amazon account. I still have it and still is my passion to find those seasonal items. Bradley Sutton: But you're not still. Have you been off and on selling products on that account? Gulsen: Yes, yes. Bradley Sutton: Oh okay, I didn't know that. Okay, cool, but only seasonal. Gulsen: Only seasonal and I know you don't really like it when you do Amazon for patient. But that account you saw that it's such a passionate account only the products I really like to spend my time on and not really that profitable, but still nice. And I feel like I still like to spend a lot of time on Black Box trying to find products and then search them on Alibaba, even if I'm not going to invest. I think it started to be like a habit for my life. And, yeah, the last time I found something it was a toy product. I never recommend anyone to, you know, join a toy business, but this one was crazy because, like it was selling on Amazon about like $26, the price to import and everything was about 450. So now it's just, you know, um, making my mind so busy like should I really launch a toy product? But it's so competitive and, yeah, I might be needing to pick your brain about it very soon. Bradley Sutton: Okay, I thought you were saying you already did this. I was waiting for the results. This is what you're planning. What is something you've already done in the last year or so that really was a good experience? When you just found some random product and then it was able to sell during the season. Can you give an example? Gulsen: Yeah, I can give you an example. What's so funny is I really like to look around a lot while shopping, like actual shopping, Like I'm touring the Costco, Sam's Club, these places and like Bluetooth Beanies. I don't know if you remember them. Bradley Sutton: It's like you have a beanie, but then there's like headphones or something inside. Oh, okay. Gulsen: Inside the beanie there were headphones and the first time I saw them like we were shopping on Sam's Club. The first time I saw them, we were shopping on Sam's Club and Charlie, my husband, he was telling me you know what? This product will go viral. And then we sourced it and, oh my God, it was such an amazing experience because that product really went viral. Bradley Sutton: So, you sourced it, not to piggyback on the listing, but you made your own listing a brand new. You just found it in Alibaba. So how much did you sell of that product? Gulsen: Yeah, during Christmas time we sold close to 1,000 units Bradley Sutton: 1,000 units at what price? Gulsen: I believe it was about $14,000, $14,000, $15,000. Bradley Sutton: Okay, so a nice little five-figure a month there on one product or two. Gulsen: yeah, it was amazing but, like I said, it was seasonal and now like I don't even think anyone is going to search for Bluetooth beanie, but we were one of the first listings on amazon selling that product. Bradley Sutton: Nice so finding products at Sam's Club in Costco. I just go there for like free samples and a dollar 50 hot dog and stuff. But now, now I know I need to start looking out for products. All right, let's switch to Michelle now. So, Michelle, you know, in the beginning at Helium 10 and the last time you were on the podcast you like, like your experience with Amazon was pretty much just interacting with Helium 10 and interacting with, interacting with our customers. But now you're not necessarily an Amazon private label seller. But tell us what you are now in that definitely has to do with the Amazon ecosystem. Michelle: Yeah, of course you know really quick. I wanted to say how far back I've been, you know, just to give some clarity for people listening. When I first started Helium 10, my daughter was eight months. She's going to be seven years old in November. So, this just goes to show like how old I am. Bradley Sutton: I don't need any reminders for that. Michelle: Yeah, I was just thinking about that and I was like, oh my gosh, it's been almost six going on seven years, so that's insane. Bradley Sutton: That's crazy, that's great. And then I remember how it was like your desk was like behind mine, so I need to check on what you're doing. I just like turn around, we're all in that little, we work there. And then I got to move to like this little, literally a closet. You know, the affiliate team office was like this little that used to be a storage closet and then it became my office. Michelle: And then what? Six or been very exciting, and I honestly love building relationships and speaking with different people around the world. It's awesome. So now what I'm doing is I've learned and I've kind of just jumped on ships with the Amazon. Influencers program is something that you don't need to really invest money in. It's more of just investing your time and basically you are reviewing products and then when you review them, you upload them to Amazon and Amazon does all the work for you and you just earn commission off anyone that watches your video. Bradley Sutton: How do you even find out about that people are doing that, because I think nowadays some more and more people know about it, but like I didn't really know about it until somebody like I don't know maybe I saw a video on it or something but how do you even know that this was something that people do? Michelle: Yeah, it's actually really funny. So, I was just searching, looking for new influence affiliates to join Helium 10 and you know, the algorithm just picks up and all of a sudden, you're seeing like people selling you courses and it's like, hey, the Amazon review program. And I was like, what is this? So, I dived into it and I just started following and I was like you know what? I've never been one to just like jump and, you know, spend a lot of money on products, but this seems like something I can do. And I did it kind of just more of like as a test and, um, it was, yeah, I got like approved right away and then I did the second approval and I got approved in that and now it's just putting videos up on Amazon and the more videos you put there, the more commission you make. And you know it really just depends on the type of video you make as well, of course, the quality and everything. But it's really fun and I feel like for me being like a really busy full-time mom um, and you know, working full-time this is something that I can do, that I don't have to just like run a business. It's just more of yeah fun on the side. Bradley Sutton: yeah, like even us, you know amazon sellers, like we all have families, like this is something, and maybe your daughter is a little bit too young still, but you know this is something, is something that you know you got like teenagers or even, um, you know, maybe preteens a little bit. You could almost have them like make some of these uh videos and it's like something super simple. Obviously, you know adult needs to set it all up, but it's not like rocket science where you have to be a pro influencer. Uh, you know, in order to make these review videos, a lot of them are just like kind of like unboxing and how you're using it right. Michelle: Yeah, you know what Funny thing is? My daughter got her first brand deal. Bradley Sutton: Oh well, okay. Well, maybe she is old enough, I guess. Okay, my bad. Michelle: Yeah, so there's. There's Amazon sellers looking for people to or, you know, other people to review their product. And one was a mom who just came out with a kid's face wash and she was like hey, I saw your daughter on Instagram. I would love for her to review my product. My daughter is all about skincare because of YouTube and she absolutely loved it. She did it and I just got another email yesterday from another seller who saw her video on that listing asking if they can review her skincare product now and I'm like wait, she's starting to get all these deals, she's only six. Bradley Sutton: Wow. Michelle: It is really cool. Of course, you know you need to be in it as a parent, but it is really fun and I've seen a lot of married couples, even like a husband will have his own and then the wife has her own and they just capitalize on that extra income. Bradley Sutton: Interesting. Now, what's the? I mean, there's a difference, necessarily, between like, almost anybody can sign up to be an Amazon affiliate but then to be an Amazon influencer. Do they still require that you have some kind of social media account that has X number of followers? And then, if so, like what is that requirement? Michelle: Yeah, so that's a great question. So many people get confused between the Amazon Associates program and that is basically offsite commission. You have to have a website; you get the affiliate link and then you basically drive traffic from your website to Amazon with the Amazon reviewers' program. That's onsite commission and you necessarily don't need a huge following on social media. You just need to have good engagement for the first two steps. So as long as you get engagement, you build your, your engagement, you sign up and you get approved, you don't even need to worry about that social platform anymore. It's just like building up that reviewer's videos and then just letting Amazon do that for you. Bradley Sutton: Okay, excellent, excellent. Now, um, what was the very first video that you did Like? What was it for? Do you remember what it was? Michelle: Yeah, so, amazon. In order for you to get approved for the second step you actually need very first video that you did like what was it for? Do you remember what it was? Yeah, so amazon. In order for you to get approved for the second step, you actually need to submit three product review videos. So, it's not only one, it's three. So, I did a dog uh feeder, so it's basically a dog bowl but like it has a puzzle inside for your dogs, um, to slow their feeding. And then then I did a Spanish book, and then I did a I don't want to say dupe, but I did a smart watch that you know looks like a brand name like Apple, and that actually got approval. So that got me three. That got my first three approvals for the Amazon reviewers' program. Bradley Sutton: Your style of doing Amazon business, like why do you think this is kind of good? Like it's obviously not for the kind of person who's like trying to build up a brand and, you know, be able to exit like your husband did with his brand. But what kind of person is what your model is of? Like these seasonal products in here or there? Like are you even putting it on a brand registry or you're just doing generic brands? Or how are you doing these listings? Gulsen: No, no brand. How are you doing these listings? No brand registry. And I think that what I'm doing is great for who is working like typical 9 to 5 that would like to get extra site income. And also, like you know, before working at Helium 10, I did supply chain my entire life, so I'm so close to those sourcing agencies or the places in like. I'm originally from Turkey. I know a lot of Turkish manufacturers. Plus, I have very good experience in Far East so it's so easy for me to source products. So, I feel like it is mixed for me. If you really like sourcing trying to find new people on the manufacturing end or sourcing end and if it's giving you pleasure, then that's great because then the money comes itself. But it's not something that you can quit working on your corporate and rely on those seasonal items. Bradley Sutton: now, for example, that, what do you say? beanie, Bluetooth, Bluetooth, beanie, whatever it's called? Um, you know, you, you grossed I don't know fifteen thousand dollars, twenty thousand dollars or whatever from it. Yeah, was that all one order from the manufacturer and you only did one? And then, if so, like what was that initial investment? Like landed to amazon, like the price of the products and then the importation, and landed to Amazon, like, how much did you invest in that project? Gulsen: It was like we created two orders the first order, it's like it was gone like in the very first month and a half, and then, since we foresee it, we had to place another order and we did the same quantity and I think we invested about maybe $7,000 in total. Bradley Sutton: In the first order and both orders together. Gulsen: The first order, like both orders together, could be around 14K, but it includes everything. Everything like it's includes about two thousand of those Bluetooth beanies and the import and the shipping. So, we had to act quick so we couldn't really do a vessel. Bradley Sutton: Wait, the first order was 2,000 units Gulsen: It was 1,000 and 1,000. Bradley Sutton: Okay so you have, you sold all of them? Gulsen: yeah, so the first. Bradley Sutton: I thought you only sold 1000 units. You actually sold 2000 units. Gulsen: it was during Christmas time. We sold about 1000 and that's why we were so high and excited. We ordered the second order and then those um the remainders. I think we have left about like 300 pieces left and then we started to get orders, maybe once a week and like bi-weekly. Bradley Sutton: No, not so yeah you sold way more than like 20. You know like we're talking more like 20, 30 000, so seven thousand dollars to invest. And then are you just doing the regular private label ways to get on page one like, hey, I'm gonna run some PPC and try, I mean like that's how you did it. Gulsen: Yeah, we were so lucky because we were one of the first listings, as I said, and organic, we were already on the page one for that Bluetooth beanie. But then of course you know how it goes Competition comes so crucially and we had to run PPC but still it wasn't that competitive because we were there at the beginning and we sent all inventory to FBA but then we had to take some inventory back and started to sell the rest as FBM. Bradley Sutton: You should see me about those. I'll start shipping them for you. You can pay my kids to do that. Okay, so then I mean, that's fascinating. I don't know how I didn't know all of this stuff that you're doing. Yeah, you know what. Gulsen: Funny enough. Actually, it's not about me, but again, like with my husband. Do you remember those fidget spinners? Bradley Sutton: Yes, yes. Gulsen: Yeah, he was also like one of the first listings with those fidget spinners on Amazon. Like I think he has a good sense of finding what will come to be a buy. Bradley Sutton: Well, how did you and he validate that thing? Because you know like it's different when you're trying to be the first kind of like we were kind of like the first coffin shelf. You know there's not like a bunch of data where it's like oh, I know all the main competitors and what they're ranking for and stuff. So, what did you guys use to validate? Like, did you buy some from Costco and just put it up and do a test listing to see how it goes? Or how did you have the con? I mean, cause $7,000 is still $7,000. You know that's a lot of money. Like you got to have some kind of confidence that you're going to be successful. So, if you couldn't see other beanie uh, Bluetooth, Bluetooth beanies, people having confidence what numbers or what were you looking at that made you go ahead and pull the trigger on that order? Gulsen: Yeah, the thing is I can source those products so quickly because of my connections. So, with that fidget spinner we didn't really do any drop shipping. We just found the manufacturer and I still doubt it was the manufacturer. I still feel like we were talking to a trader at that time. But we got the products in like in 10 days when we decided to go. Bradley Sutton: Oh, no, the beanie, though that's the one I'm wondering. Yeah, the beanie, you saw it in Sam's Club. It's not like hey, let me go to. Oh, there's a nice product Sam's Club, let me go ahead and drop $7,000. I'm sure you must have done some kind of research or something to take a look. Gulsen: Yeah, so, uh, what was really very surprising to me when you go to Alibaba or like, let's say, DHgate, and search for some products, you would see tons of manufacturer putting the same picture of the product and selling them. That time, when we check for the Bluetooth beanies, we only sold two, two manufacturers on Alibaba and at that time I was like wow, like this is amazing, because the manufacturers are not just saturating the market. Yes, so it was one of the insights for me. And the second one was it was I believe it was right before the Halloween and you know, like during Christmas times. It's amazing product that you can put in those stockings and not very expensive, but still, it would make your grandchildren so happy to have a gadget like that. It's great if you're like, if you do ski, snowboarding and stuff, you don't really worry about you. So, we believe in the product too. Bradley Sutton: But was there a search volume at the time, like was anybody searching that at all in Helium 10? Or there wasn't even search volume for that keyword yet. Gulsen: I don't remember that we saw a huge amount of search volume. Bradley Sutton: interesting, all right. So, hey, like that's really getting ahead of the, you know, similar to like what we did with the wooden egg tray in project X, where there was nobody searching for wooden egg tray but we're like, hey, I think this is going to be a hot product. All right, that's very interesting, I like that method. Now going back to Michelle, um, let's say I start my, my um influencer account. Would you suggest the first thing to do which actually is me I've had, because, I don't know, I'm lazy, I guess, but like should is the first thing I should do is just go around my house and look at stuff that I bought from Amazon or that stuff that exists on Amazon and start making videos of those things? Is that like a good first step for somebody just getting started? Michelle: yeah, so not a lot of people know this, but Amazon has it. Use your phone, the Amazon scanner app, and you can go around your house and scan anything and then you find stuff that are actually being sold on Amazon. And I do that. And when I first started, I did a lot of my higher ticket items. So, like my bed frame I got on that wasn't on Amazon and I checked and it was. I'm sorry I didn't get it from Amazon, but when I checked it was on Amazon and so I reviewed it. And then I reviewed like my sofa. My couch was there. I got my couch from an outlet and my couch was also on Amazon. So, I would say to focus on like your higher ticket items, but then also mix it up and do some mid-level, like $20, $30, $40, because those are what's going to give you commission. And if you start a lot of people focus on like really small items, like $10, $12, you're only going to see change. So, you want to have a mix of both and the more videos you bring in, the better. I would also say to look at your like how many influencer videos are there right? Like you don't want to review a product and there's so many review videos that you're not even going to be seen, so that's something else to look out for. Bradley Sutton: Like what's the best opportunity? Like obvious, it's like, is it something that's selling really well, so that you know there's a lot of you know people getting on that page, and at the same time, maybe like there's not that many influencer videos on that page? Like, is that how you prioritize it? Like, let's say, you could do like 30 things and you're like, okay, how do I know which ones I should do first Because I can get the most money? Would that be what you're looking at, or is there other factors involved too? Michelle: Yeah, so I try to see how many product listings there are. So, I'll give you an example. Like the smartwatch that I did, that was one of my like it's still actually selling really well and because there's multiple, actually there's only like 50 or 100 people buying it per month from what Amazon showed, but there's a lot of sellers that had it as well, and so I realized that people were watching my video and then they were going on to another listing and then they were like, okay, I really want to get this watch, and then they were just purchasing it. So that's one way. So, you also just want to make sure that there's demand for it, like people are buying it. Right, if you have a rug and you're going to review it and you go in and like there's bad reviews, it says from Amazon, this product is most likely going to get returned, probably not the best one you want to start with. Bradley Sutton: My next question, uh, would be is just, you know, to give people an idea of the potential here? um, what are some success stories you've heard about, like how much money people are making? And then you, your exact example. You obviously work full-time for Helium 10, so it's not like you're just sitting in your house all day doing video I hope not, otherwise our boss might not be happy about that but you're just doing it here and there in your spare time. Since you already have a full-time job, how much are you grossing every month from this? Michelle: Yeah, so Amazon's commission is uncapped. You can basically make as much. I just recently started, June, and I'm already about last month I made $600 and then all together it's probably about a thousand, but it hasn't even been a full three months. So, you know, with and I only have a hundred and like 60 videos on my Amazon storefront. So of course, the more videos I'm going to have, the more I'm going to be able to make. I I'm in a lot of Amazon reviewer groups and people make who've been there for like 12 months a year two years can make at least three to $6,000. So, like my goal is to put as many videos as possible and I'm trying to get to like 500 videos for Christmas, because I know that during Christmas time it's going to be really busy. So, I'm really excited to see if I can get at least up to two to three thousand dollars by Christmas in a month. Bradley Sutton: How much time does it take you to make these videos? Because I know like they actually don't necessarily need like super crazy professional video production and seven different scenes and Steven Spielberg quality. But it's like you just use your cell phone, if I'm not mistaken, right, and then and then what program are using for like cut it up and then put some like captions, and is that basically it? So, what's the time constraint? And then, what are the tools you're using to, to, to put it all together? Michelle: So that's a great question. Because I'm such a you know I'm busy, everything. I try not to put as much time into this and you really don't because people want to see reviews that are very authentic. They don't want to see like commercials or advertisements, they want to see real people making reviews. So, I just scan it. If I see that it's on Amazon, I will quickly get my water bottle, or if it's a product of a water bottle, quickly get it. Put my phone, place it so I can see myself in it and make a quick 30 to 45 second review video. Make sure the audio is good and I use CapCut. Capcut is free. You can also purchase it and I purchased it because you can enhance your audio, you can clean it up and you can also slice it up. So, in all, it takes me maybe like five minutes per video per product, because you get better as you go and then you just float. Bradley Sutton: Awesome, awesome, okay, cool, I'm going to get my kids started on that then. Now let's switch gears and talk about what you guys do here, because this is another way that people can make money without having to invest too much money and that's being an affiliate. And so, let's just talk about the extreme, just to get people excited here. Some affiliates here at the company how much money are they grossing? How much money is Helium 10 paying them per month in additional things like cars and stuff like that? So just like get people excited about this subject. Gulsen: It's really crazy, because some affiliates are making about $70,000 per month. Bradley Sutton: From Helium 10? Okay, I might be in the wrong position here. What in the actual heck? I had no idea. Gulsen: But it's not that, so we also pay for their cars. Bradley Sutton: What are some cars that we're paying for people. Gulsen: What I remember, we have like one, I believe, Tesla Model S and G-Wagon and a Mercedes, RV minibus and yeah, these are the ones. Bradley Sutton: In addition, making tens of thousands, even up to 70,000, that okay. Now I think we have you got my attention already, like I didn't even know that we were at that level yet, and so okay. So, what about you know what? What are the ways that that that people are getting to that level? Obviously, no, we're not going to sit here and say, hey, anybody can just make $70,000 a month from Helium 10. But basically, how are they doing something like that? Either of you can answer this. Gulsen: Yeah, it is. If you have an audience this is only what matters engaged audience you can be a very popular YouTuber, you can be running a course, you can be a great blogger, or you're just someone spreading the word about how to sell on Amazon and the software that's helping with it. Because we pay lifetime recurring commission 25% and on top of the commission we have extra rewards. I'd like Michelle to talk about them yeah. Michelle: So I will say, some of our top affiliate, like producers, that we pay out high commission, it's because our program is so lucrative and, again, it's 25 lifetime commission. So, some of our affiliates have been here for three, four years and they're still making commission with us on top of the extra bonus program rewards that we're paying for their cars or we're paying for their restaurant dinners, like we pay for so many things. And I also want to clarify, like we don't only pay out top affiliates, like we have a bonus reward program that also pays our smaller guys, like if you're just starting out, we're actually going to update our program, so you're going to receive $500 just for bringing in 10 new subs. Bradley Sutton: I think what you know, one thing that I want to double click on right there that you said is like the lifetime commission. So, theoretically, you know, let's say, I have this channel where I'm talking about Amazon, but, for whatever reason, I'm like you know what? YouTube shut me down. I no longer have a YouTube channel; I'm just going to stop this. But I had signed up 100 people to Helium 10. Let's just say it's the cheapest plan, so they're paying Helium 10. Those 100 people are paying Helium 10 100 times $100. Okay, all right. So hey, wait, wait, hold on, I'm going to. I'm about to do some advanced math here. So those customers are paying helium 10, $10,000 a month, but every month the affiliate is getting 25%, right? Yeah, so then that's a wait 0.25 times 10,000 is they're getting a check for $2,500 a month. But let's say, today my YouTube channel shut down and it shut down for a year, next year. Let's just say, if those hundred people are still paying Helium 10, they never even did anything, they didn't make one more video, they didn't like help these people at all. They're still getting a check for $2,500 a month, every month from now until infinity, as long as those members. So that that that's that. That that's what I think is really good about our, our system. Bradley Sutton: Now, uh, Michelle, you know, we obviously talked about one side of the spectrum where it's big influencers or people who have this big course or big YouTube channel or something. Obviously, it's a no brainer to sign up, you know, to be an affiliate, because instantly they're probably going to start making tons of money just because they're going to be able to sign up people. But again, we're talking this episode is kind of like about making money without too much investment. What if I'm just an average Joe? Maybe I'm just an average Joe Helium 10 user out there I know Helium 10 well or I'm just listening to this podcast somehow and I don't have a YouTube channel. I don't have a big popular blog or, you know, Instagram, with a hundred thousand followers. What's a way that I can scale up? I mean, I can still be an affiliate even if I have nobody just at least get started. But how can I scale up my platform in order to start building up? How much Helium 10 is paying me? Michelle: Yeah, so that's a really good question. I would say consistency, and that goes for everything that you do, right. If you are an average girl, like we've seen this. Like we have people sign up and they don't have like a big platform. However, like they're consistent with growing their audience, whether they you know what I decided I'm going to be a YouTuber. Now I'm going to start posting YouTube videos consistently and on top of that, I'm going to start posting Helium 10 demos, because I am a Helium 10 wizard, so why not share my knowledge? Or I'm going to start my own community on Facebook. Um, and they're consistent with growing their audience. They can eventually start growing commission, because all it takes is one person to get inspired and sign up for Helium 10 with your affiliate link and then, all of a sudden, it's three months in, you're like 10, 15, 20. And you're already, like you said, grossing like $2,500. And you haven't even done much. And you know, like I said, it's really about consistency and it's really fun, because I enjoy speaking with a lot of these smaller affiliates and encouraging them and then seeing their growth. It's insane. Bradley Sutton: Maybe I don't even have plans for making a community, but I mean, I guess theoretically, hey, I'm in, I'm in Facebook groups or uh, I post in in in X, uh, you know, like threads about, you know, formerly Twitter and as far as Amazon, I'm on Reddit and stuff like I could just share the coupon code here and there when people talk about it, and even without either, like being an influencer, I could be making commission. I just sign up. One person sees that code. You know that maybe my Reddit post is indexed by Google and then somehow somebody lands on it and I never even touched that person or had anything to do with them. They thought they use my code. I've got that revenue for life. So that's, that's something guys out there. You know you don't have to be some big influencer. If you're just a regular Helium 10 user and you know you have friends interested in Helium 10, give them a discount. You know, get a discount code Affiliates get discount codes that other people can't get and you're helping your friend out and now you're going to you know what. Michelle: Let me just join, for instance we just had a webinar and Riley was in it and he taught, talked all about q4 and how to you know create a good listing for q4, how to prepare. That was a webinar and now they have the opportunity to share an affiliate link with their friends or family there and who, anyone else that they know who's selling on Amazon. And if that person decides like hey, this was a really great webinar, I, I really need Helium 10 now because I want to make sure my listing is great, like, oh, now there's a coupon code attached, so just like that, just by sharing a resource and how Helium 10 can help, they can easily earn and make money with it. Bradley Sutton: that's a good point because it's not like, oh, I need to be a Helium 10 expert or an Amazon expert. If you've got the audience, like actual evangelists like myself, Carrie, Shivali, we'll go on the channel like, hey, we'll do a video and you don't even need to bring the expertise, because we've got it and you just provide the audience. And then I wish I need to arrange something. These affiliates are making so much money and I'm the one who's doing these videos and I'm not seeing any part of this. Something doesn't feel fair there. But anyways, take advantage of it guys. Take advantage of it. I'm not getting any money, but I'll be supporting there. Gulsen. Anything else to say about our affiliate program? Gulsen: Yeah, I think our affiliate program is offering money and also offering a bunch of information and the trends. So, we're like at Helium 10, we are not just like, hey, promote us and get the commission. We are helping a lot for our affiliates to grow. So, some real-life experiences like one of our affiliate's accounts get hacked and he was having hard time dealing with Google so we were there for him and we helped him to get his account back. Or I was on a call with one of our affiliates chief marketing officers because he was curious about the latest trends and I was giving him my two cents about what they should be else doing to boost their reach, like getting more students. Bradley Sutton: Haven't some like giving you access to like their YouTube channel and you go in there and optimize. Like you're literally in their YouTube and fixing for them and stuff like that. Gulsen: I didn't want to talk about that one, but yes, this happened as well. Yeah, so, like Helium 10 is the only platform where you have your dedicated account manager. We are not a platform like your account is managed by a team of VAs or you're just talking to some AI generated chat box, so it's like you work with us and you also have a marketing manager that you don't need to pay. So that's why I really find it very beneficial for our affiliates. And the other thing is we work with thousands of affiliates and we know we see what's working, and we see what used to be working before but not anymore, or what's failing. So, it's good that we have this experience without really facing the actual work. So, it's always good to share what's working with our other partners to help them grow and win together. Bradley Sutton: So, if you guys want more information, want to sign up right away there's no sign-up charge or no entry fee or anything like that. Just go to h10.me forward, slash, crush it, crush it. Two words, but it's together, no spaces. H10.me forward, slash, crush it and sign up. If there might be a little box that says, how did you find out about this or something, make sure to say that you heard about it on the podcast. Right before I started at Helium 10, I actually had signed up to be a Helium 10 affiliate and then Michelle was like my affiliate manager and stuff. So, yeah, we've come full circle here, but I want you guys to go ahead and crush it as well on there. So that's super cool. And then remember, guys, it doesn't matter where you are in the world. You know we've got affiliates in in Pakistan and Tajikistan and Japan and Korea, and I think the only country we don't have affiliates is North Korea. So, every other country in the world we've got affiliates because you know you've got an audience everywhere there and obviously Helium 10 works in so many different countries. So, make sure to sign up, all right, guys. Bradley Sutton: So, uh, one more note is where you know Michelle is actually going to be doing like a little mini course in helium tend to help people learn more about being an Amazon influencer, so be on the lookout for when that, uh, when that comes out, and Gulsen is going to be working on the course of Turkish cooking for Helium 10. I'm just playing, but, uh, we'll have to think of a course that you can, uh, you can make for us too. But, thank you, thank you both, so much for uh coming on here. It's great to see, uh, you know people who were there from almost day one, uh, from when I started here at Helium 10, and, and we're the, we're, we're going to be like the trio here who keeps on going to, are doing. Michelle: Thanks, Bradley, thank you for having us.
A lo mejor te crees que la preocupación por la aerodinámica es algo moderno… ¡pues te equivocas! A lo mejor piensas que los modelos más aerodinámicos son los actuales… ¡pues te vuelves a equivocar! Estoy seguro de una cosa: Esta lista te va a sorprender… Te doy una muestra: El ganador al título de coche más aerodinámico es… de 1939. Antes de comenzar por esta nutrida lista de 20 coches te voy a poner en antecedentes. La aerodinámica es clave en los coches en tres aspectos que vamos a analizar: Facilidad de penetración, estabilidad y ruido. La resistencia que presenta un cuerpo a moverse en el aire depende solo de dos cosas: El CX y su área frontal. Te lo explico. Lo más fácil es el área frontal, que es básicamente el “agujero” que tiene que hacer el coche en el aire, cuando más grande peor… ¡ay esos SUV anchos y enormes! Y necesariamente, menos económicos de consumo. El CX mide la bondad de una determinada forma para abrirse paso en el aire… y te propongo un experimento: Mejor de pasajero, abre la ventanilla a 100 km/h y pon la mano con la palma abierta hacia adelante (primer plano de mí mano) y veras que el aire te tira para “atrás” de la mano. Sin embargo, si presentas el puño, así como te indico (primer plano de mi puño) verás que la resistencia es mucho menor. El CX es el coeficiente que mide esa facilidad para penetrar en el aire. Cuanto más bajo, mejor. Siempre se dice, yo lo he dicho, que la forma con mejor CX es una gota de agua, que es la forma que toma el agua líquida al caer, y que podemos decir que está “esculpida” por el propio viento. Tiene un CX de 0,05. Buscando información para este vídeo he leído que un pingüino tiene un coeficiente de 0,03… imagino que en posición aerodinámica. Honestamente, dudo de la veracidad de esta información, que puede que quizás confunde hidrodinámica con aerodinámica… Seguro que alguno de vosotros me lo aclara… mientras tanto, seguiré investigando. Te doy un dato: Hoy día, en 2024, un coche con un CX de 0,25 o 0,26 se considera que tienen una buena aerodinámica… Tras este dato, te hago una pregunta, ¿qué CX crees que tiene un F1? … vas a alucinar: ¡1,1! ¡Peor que un ladrillo! Esto es así porque en los F1 se busca la estabilidad en curva. En los coches de calle no se usan tantos alerones, pero si interesa que el coche a alta velocidad tenga cierto aplomo y que sea poco sensible al viento lateral, cosas que a veces chocan con buscar un buen CX. Y luego está el ruido. En los coches de calle el ruido procedente del viento es muy importante y hay “trucos” para evitarlo que no siempre favorecen el CX. Os cuento una anécdota (BMW E36, espejos ruidosos y solución). Nuestro listado. Antes de comenzar con el listado te cuento los criterios. El primero, que el propio equipamiento, sobre todo las ruedas, pueden influir en el CX de un coche. Las marcas suelen dar la cifra que más les interesa. EL segundo, que en general he huido de prototipos, sobre todo prototipos recientes. Y el tercero, que en esta lista no están los mejores por su CX absoluto. En unos casos es así, pero en otros está por algún motivo relevante o por lo que significaron en su momento. Los he ordenado por orden inverso de CX, es decir, como siempre… lo mejor está al final: 1. Citroën DS (0,37). 2. Tatra 87 (0,36). 3. Bugatti Tank (0,35 estimado). 4. Citroën CX (0,35). 5. Alfa Romeo Giulia (0,34). 6. Citroën GS (0,31). 7. Alfa Romeo 40-60 HP Aerodinamica Castagna (0,30 estimado). 8. Saab 92 (0,30). 9. Audi 80 (0,29). 10. Alpine Renault GTA (0,28). 11. Renault 25 TS (0,28). 12. Rumpler Tropfenwagen (0,28). 12+1. Opel Calibra (0,26). 14. Toyota Prius (0,26) 2004. 15. Audi A2 (0,24). 16. Tesla Model S (0,24). 17. Mercedes-Benz Clase A Sedán (0,22). 18. Alfa Romeo BAT (0,19). 19. GM EV1 (0,19). 20. El Schlörwagen (0,15).

In this episode, Rich and Jason speak to the alpha-omega space collector, Steve Jurvetson, who has arguable the most complete space flown hardware collection in private hands. A board member of Space X, Steve was an original investor in Elon Musk's journeys off-Earth. (In fact, he's owned the first production Tesla Model S, and the second production Model X, which he has since donated to the Peterson Automobile Museum.) Getting bitten by the collecting bug after buying some John Young items, Steve's massive collection now spans all programs and is primarily made up of unique, one-of-a-kind flown mission critical items such as parts of the spacecraft itself. Hear how he assembled his collection, his perspective on the types of items he collects, and how he decides what stays and goes. Steve co-founded Future Ventures, where he investments in trailblazing, purpose-driven entrepreneurs with unique, moon-shot ideas that have the potential to reinvent entire industries, and President Barack Obama appointed Steve as a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship. With his mind firmly focused on the future, you will hear about how Steve leverage's the past to inspire and inform the next generation. Join the guys as they discuss everything from Steve's expansive office museum to secret, buried space treasure in Houston!

We also dig into a McKinsey survey showing how crucial smartphone integration is for car buyers and take a pass at the U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's proposal for social media warning labels to protect young people's mental health.Show Notes with links:The 2024 Cars.com American-Made Index reveals the most American-made cars with this year bringing some surprise shifts to the top tenThe index is determined by five key criteria to ensure a comprehensive assessment of a vehicle's domestic production impact: assembly location, percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts, origin of engines, origin of transmissions, and the U.S. manufacturing workforce. For the third year in a row, the most American car is the Tesla Model Y, but Tesla's other models have seen a drop in rankings due to Tesla's workforce calculations The top ten are Tesla Model Y, Honda Passport, Volkswagen ID.4, Tesla Model S, Honda Odyssey, Honda Ridgeline, Toyota Camry, Jeep Gladiator, Tesla Model X, Lexus TXGM doesn't show up on the list until #23 with the Colorado and Ford is on the bench until #31 with the MustangA recent survey indicates that 56% of in-market shoppers prefer American-made vehicles, with many willing to pay more to support domestic jobsA recent McKinsey & Co. survey reveals that a third of car buyers would refuse to purchase a vehicle without Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, underscoring the importance of smartphone integration.30% of EV buyers and 35% of ICE buyers globally consider smartphone integration essential.In the U.S., 25% of EV buyers and 38% of gasoline vehicle buyers feel the same.Some buyers are willing to pay extra for smartphone integration: 17% of ICE and nearly 30% of EV buyers.Automakers are wary of ceding the infotainment experience to tech companies, focusing on developing native systems.Kevin Laczkowski of McKinsey stated plainly, “If an OEM moves away from seamless smartphone integration, obviously that's a risk.”U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has proposed mandatory warning labels on social media platforms to highlight their potential mental health risks to young people.Murthy cites studies showing social media increases anxiety and depression in teens.Teenagers spend nearly five hours daily on social media, doubling mental health risks.Lawmakers and youth advocates have long criticized social media for harming children.Murthy urges Congress to legislate warning labels, stating, "The mental health crisis among young people is an emergency."Vivek told CNN, “I put forward this call for a warning because I think it's essential that parents know what we now know, which is that there are significant harms associated with social media use.”Recent New York legislation aims to restrict algorithm-based content for minorHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Q1 numbers are rolling in and the reports are mixed…go figure. This Wednesday we are also looking at some cultural broad strokes, including the stark gender gap in EV purchase behavior and GenZ returning to college-less skilled trades.General Motors' sales dipped in Q1, contrasting with Toyota and Honda's robust gains, signaling shifting market dynamics. General Motors' sales in the U.S. faced a downturn in Q1, with only the Buick brand showing an upward trend. GM cited lower fleet shipments as a reason for the decline, though retail volumes saw a 6% rise.Toyota and Honda experienced significant sales growth, driven by strong demand for hybrids and an increasing inventory.Toyota's sales leapt 22% in March, with substantial increases across car and light-truck categories.Honda reported a 15% increase in volume at the Honda division, with car sales outpacing light-truck sales.Inventory sits at 1.7M new vehicles, up 39% from 2023, while avg incentives per vehicle increased 67% YoY to $2800, according to JD Power.New car avg prices are down to $44,186, with only 16% of vehicles in March selling over MSRP, down from 31% in March 2023.Despite the growing appeal of electric vehicles (EVs), a noticeable gap exists in their adoption among women, driven by design and safety related concerns including range anxiety and designs for taller people. Kate Harrison, co-founder of MoveEV, is working to highlight the need for the industry to address these disparities and create more inclusive experiences.Range anxiety, safety concerns at remote charging stations, and the high initial cost of EVs deter women, alongside a lack of awareness about EV benefits.Initial designs like the 2017 Tesla Model S seemed tailored for taller individuals, posing comfort issues for women, unlike the more accommodating 2024 Model Y.Men comprise 67% of EV buyers, with only 34% of women considering an EV for their next vehicle, pointing towards a significant gender gap in EV adoption.Harrison emphasizes the cost-saving and environmental benefits of EVs, urging for greater female participation to not miss out on these advantages.The allure of the skilled trades is capturing the interest of Gen Z, marking a pivotal shift from traditional college pathways as competitive salaries and the incorporation of technology are making trades like construction, welding, HVAC, and automotive increasingly attractive.As college enrollments decline, vocational training programs see a 16% increase, with construction trades and HVAC programs gaining popularity.The median pay for new hires in construction trades rose to $48,089 last year, outpacing the $39,520 earnings of professional services roles, showcasing the competitive earning potential in skilled trades.While nearly 80% of young respondents in a survey faced parental pressure to pursue college, the same group sees greater job security in the skilled trades.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email
Hot rodding has been and always will be a HUGE part of American car culture, and electric vehicle conversions are bringing a wider range of options to the street.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inWhy do a Tesla swap and not use aftermarket components? What happens to the 12v electronics including the lights and indicators without an alternator or the brakes without engine vacuum to operate with?At SEMA, Casey Loter gives us some answers to the above and insight into this customer's 1959 Chevy Apache Fleetside electric vehicle conversion, which is powered by a Tesla Model S motor and battery pack that's been rehoused for better packaging and suspension options.While Tesla parts are used, they are scrubbed clean of Tesla's limited software by companies like EV Control, who can easily tap in remotely for this process. An Orion battery management system is used along with Stealth EV charging components and a cooling system for the charger and batteries up from and motors in the rear for this specific Chevy Apache conversion.

Cuando se habla de diseño del automóvil enseguida pensamos en el exterior… cuando el interior es, como mínimo, igual de importante. Porque el exterior es lo que ven los demás, pero el interior, sobre todo el salpicadero, es lo que vemos nosotros. Me gusta lo original y lo raro… pero todo tiene un límite… y veréis que algunos diseños han traspasado ese límite… Aviso: Hay un interesante “Bonus Track”. 1. Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV. Quizás ahora no nos parece tan particular pero cuando apareció este coche en 1974 sí lo era. La primera vez que probe uno confieso que me llamó la atención y me pareció una buena idea para un coche tan deportivo. 2. Aston Martin Lagonda. Cuando en 1974 se presentó este precioso coche era el más caro del Mundo. Se esforzaron en el diseño, para mi gusto precioso… por fuera. Porque por dentro su salpicadero con pretensiones futuristas era feo con ganas. No sé qué era peor, si las formas cuadradas, si la mala organización de los testigos y relojes o la elección de los colores… una pena. 3. Citroën GSA. Cuando haces un vídeo de cosas raras y originales siempre, siempre, acaba saliendo un Citroën. Es lo mismo que hables de motores, carrocerías, suspensiones o, como en este caso, salpicaderos. En este salpicadero e instrumentación todo era raro: Los mandos se agrupaban en una especie de “satélites”, la información sobre el coche se presentaba como un esquema y las cifras de velocidad y régimen en unas ventanitas con unos tambores que giraban… una presentación muy moderna, pero en el fondo muy analógica. 4. Fiat Multipla. Voy a ser sincero: Me gusta la estética exterior del primer Multipla, me parece original y con cierta gracia. Pero del salpicadero no me atrevo a decir lo mismo. Aglutinar todo en el centro no me parece la mejor idea. Sobre todo, esa pequeña capillita donde se concentra poca y poco legible información… no me parece una buena solución. 5. Ford Wrist-Twist. ¡Que manía con cargarse el volante! ¡Con lo bien que va este sistema! Solo hay que ver la cantidad de años que lleva y los numerosos intentos por eliminarlo, como es el caso de este prototipo de Ford de los años 60. La idea era que en vez de mover los brazos solo hubiese que mover las muñecas y con este sistema, según Ford, se facilitaba la vida al conductor, cosa que dudo, y se ocupaba menos especio, cosa que también dudo. 6. Honda e. A favor del Honda e hay que decir que tienen el volante redondo, como debe ser, cosa que no siempre pasa cuando el diseñador quiere ser original. Y también a favor hay que decir que de esas 5 pantallas unas cuantas son los retrovisores concentrados para que, de una sola ojeada, veas lo que sucede detrás de ti… a lo mejor no es mala idea. 7. Lancia Beta Trevi. A mi este coche me parece muy bonito por fuera… y horroroso por dentro. ¿A quién se le ocurrió esta especie de queso “gruyere” con relojitos pequeños dentro? 8. Maserati Boomerang. Un prototipo de 1972, bonito por fuera, muy bonito… ¡qué casualidad! Diseño de Giugiaro. No sé si el gran Giorgetto tuvo algo que ver, espero que no, en el diseño del volante y salpicadero de este modelo. 9. Mazda MX-81 Aria. Por razones largas de contar, pero que algún día contaremos y que tienen que ver con temas “sentimentales”, Mazda conto con Bertone para varios diseños suyos. Esto ha dado lugar a coches tan bonitos como el Mazda Familia o el Luce Rotary Coupé, ambos diseños nada más y nada menos que de Giugiaro en su etapa en Bertone. Pero también ha dado lugar a cosas tan horribles como el volante y salpicadero del prototipo MX-81. 10. Tesla Model S. Una cosa es ser minimalista… y otra ser simplón. Y ese es el adjetivo que, en mi opinión, se merece el salpicadero del Tesla Model S de 2012, con un volante que no merece ese nombre, un cuadro de instrumentos que tampoco merece ese nombre y… ¡cómo no! un pantallón de plasma de “chiquicientas mil” pulgadas en el que se puede hacer de todo mientras se conduce… Bonus Track: Phantom Corsair. He dado prioridad a los coches de producción frente a los prototipos, pero este modelo está a caballo entre ambos… ¡y no os lo podéis perder! Es un diseño de 1938, con más de 80 años, que prefiguraba como “el coche del futuro”.

The death of George Floyd in 2020 from the unlawful actions of a Minneapolis police officer sparked the largest protests in U.S. history – resulting in the erosion of community trust in law enforcement, particularly for youth. After connecting with distraught students who expressed confusion and fear at several organized protests in the summer of 2020, then Fremont Police Captain Sean Washington recognized that the youths' voices needed to be heard. When he later became police chief in Fall 2021, he made it one of his priorities to listen – resulting in the establishment of the Chief's Youth Advisory Board, enabling a direct line of transparent communication between Fremont youth and the Fremont Police Department (FPD). In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, sponsored by Lexipol, host Jim Dudley speaks with Chief Sean Washington about the work of the youth advisory board.

Polestar 5 has been spied on the road with provisional lights, giving a glimpse of its sleek. Set to hit the market in 2023, the Polestar 5 will be a strong contender in the luxury electric vehicle market and a direct competitor to the Tesla Model S and Lucid Air. Volkswagen has unveiled the facelifted version of its popular ID.3 featuring subtle updates and improved software, assist systems, and other tweaks that enhance both its exterior and interior. The car retains the same electric drive motor, battery options, and range ratings, and is set to ship to customers in Europe in the fourth quarter of 2023. It adds “functions on demand,” which can be added later. The starting price for the ID.3 is now €43,995, significantly higher than the previous price of €30,000. Volkswagen-owned software company CARIAD has launched a new application store for cars, in partnership with HARMAN. Audi is the first brand to integrate the store in selected models as of July 2023, offering customers a range of exclusive apps from Volkswagen Group brands, as well as third-party content. Kia will unveil its new electric SUV, the EV9, in mid-March, which will be the company's flagship SUV built on the E-GMP platform, offering impressive performance and range, and equipped with advanced technology and driver assistance systems. The EV9 is expected to have a range of around 300 miles on a single charge and compete with the Tesla Model X and the Audi e-tron. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is considering a new interpretation that would require all electric and hybrid passenger vehicles made since 1997 to have pedestrian warnings. The reinterpretation could result in a massive recall, forcing manufacturers to retrofit millions of affected vehicles Jaguar Land Rover owner, Tata Motors, has demanded over £500m of government aid for a new battery factory in the UK, with the Indian group reportedly close to choosing between Spain and the southwest of England. UK car production dwindled last year to its lowest level since the 1950s, following the closure of Honda's plant in Swindon. In Australia, Victoria's Zero and Low-Emission Vehicle road user charge has resulted in the registration of 243 electric vehicles being cancelled, with critics labelling it "the world's worst EV policy." The highly unpopular tax is facing a High Court challenge, with plaintiffs arguing that it is unconstitutional. Italian sporting brand Abarth has unveiled its first-ever electric vehicle, the Abarth 500e, which features a more responsive motor and improved handling over its petrol counterpart. Priced from £38,695 in the UK, deliveries of the hot hatch will begin in June 2023. In the UK, Luxury vehicle division Genesis, owned by Hyundai Motor Group, is seeking partners with automotive experience and customer service experience to expand its presence in the UK and operate around 15 new retail centres next year, following its growth curve and popularity in particular of its electrified models, including the Genesis GV60 EV. Genesis will reward its partners based on their customer satisfaction scores alone. In China, Dongfeng Motor Group has partnered with Renault to develop sodium-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) in China, which offer a lower cost and safer alternative to commonly used lithium-ion batteries. Renault and Dongfeng plan to begin mass production of EVs equipped with sodium-ion batteries in the near future to reduce their dependence on the supply chain for rare earth metals used in lithium-ion batteries. Mini has announced the production of an electric version of the Countryman crossover in 2023, with a range of approximately 300 miles per charge, contributing to BMW's goal of 50% electrified global sales by 2030.
In February, the first lawsuit against Tesla for a crash involving its driver-assistance system, Autopilot, will go to trial. The slew of trials set to follow will be a costly fight that the company's chief executive, Elon Musk, has vowed to take on in court. When Tesla released its Autopilot feature in October 2015, Musk touted the feature as “probably better” than a human driver. The reality, however, has proved different: On average, there is at least one Autopilot-related crash in the United States every day.While several of these accidents will feature in the upcoming trials, another camp of Tesla users who have fallen victim to Autopilot crashes are unwilling to take a negative stance because of their love for the brand. Or because they believe that accidents are a necessary evil in the process of perfecting the Autopilot software.Dave Key, whose 2015 Tesla Model S drifted out of its lane and slammed into the back of a parked police S.U.V., is of the latter camp.“As a society,” Key argued, “we choose the path to save the most lives.”This story was recorded by Audm.
