Chaque vendredi du 25 juillet au 15 août, Tip & Shaft vous propose sa série estivale baptisée Un été post Vendée Globe, l'occasion d'écouter ou de réécouter les récits de skippers ayant participé à la 10e édition. Quatrième et dernier invité, Sébastien Marsset, arrivé en 27e position. Écoutez-le dans ce 117e épisode d'Into The Wind, enregistré le 5 mai 2025, peu de temps après le retour de son Vendée Globe.--Il disposait probablement du plus petit budget de cette édition du Vendée Globe : 900 000 € au total pour les trois saisons et la course, qu'il termine en 27e position, après un peu plus de 91 jours de mer. Pas question pour Sébastien Marsset, malgré ces bouts de ficelles, de renoncer à la régate : d'où le concept de "sobriété performante" revendiqué par le Nantais, né à Paris voilà un peu plus de 40 ans.Formé sur le tas, à l'école de l'habitable et du convoyage, d'abord, à l'Ecole nationale de voile où il passe son brevet d'Etat, ensuite, il se lance, après de nombreuses régates en équipage, dans le circuit mini : 4 saisons d'apprentissage, avant d'être recruté comme petite main chez Groupama, pour des coups de main techniques ponctuels. Toujours dispo, toujours candidat, il finit par être embarqué comme technicien et navigateur de moins de 30 ans remplaçant d pour la Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012 remportée par l'équipe de Franck Cammas.Le solide gaillard, connu pour son impact physique et son engagement, change de dimension, le téléphone se met à sonner : l'équipe Spindrift l'appelle pour naviguer sur l'ex Maxi Trimaran Banque Populaire, puis c'est Alvimedica qui l'engage pour la Volvo 2014-2015 - où il court, cette fois, toutes les étapes sauf une - avant de retourner boucler un Trophée Jules Verne avec Spindrift, sans parler des circuits GC32 et match racing avec l'équipage de Yann Guichard.Il passe ensuite au solo en Claass40 mais doit abandonner le Rhum 2018, enchaîne avec la Solitaire l'année suivante avant d'être recruté par Romain Attanasio sur son projet Imoca. C'est là que son projet de Vendée Globe prend corps, un peu ralenti par le Covid l'année suivante. En 2021, il accomplit une nouvelle saison avec Romain Attanasio, sur l'ex-Malizia, goûtant au foiler, mais il est temps de voler de ses propres ailes en Imoca : en 2022, il achète l'ancien Delta Dore à Erik Nigon et se lance dans les qualifs du Vendée Globe, montant une petite équipe commando qui l'emmène au départ avec le plus vieux bateau de la flotte.Un Vendée Globe où il prend du plaisir, malgré une remontée de l'Atlantique difficile, et qui lui donne immédiatement envie de recommencer ! Mais pas à n'importe quel prix, lui qui sait les sacrifices que demande cette épreuve : pour 2028, Sébastien veut jouer avec les foilers, visant un bateau d'occasion de la génération 2020 et un budget largement redimensionné. Trois mois après son retour, il y travaille déjà - "le large me manque".Rediffusé le 15 août 2025Diffusé le 5 Mai 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Waabi announced the appointment of former Uber Freight CEO Leor Ron as its new COO, signaling a major transition from research and development to commercialization and scale. This strategic move aims to accelerate Waabi's journey towards a driver-out milestone by year-end and expand partnerships with industry giants like Volvo and Uber Freight. The US and China have extended a pause on higher tariffs for goods from each country until November 10th, narrowly avoiding proposed increases. This extension maintains the US levy on Chinese imports at 30% and China's tariff on American products at 10%, allowing for continued negotiations on key trade issues.

En este video contamos con el apoyo de Planeta DeAgostini… y gracias a ellos, nos vamos a esos tiempos en que los americanos, para hacer un deportivo, partían de un coche de tamaño reducido, para sus parámetros, y le metían un motor “gordo” … pero muy “gordo”, tanto como de 8 cilindros en V y 7.000 cm3. Esta maqueta es una verdadera maravilla… ¡Y no se te olvide poner el código GARAJEHERMETICO! Así nació el Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, un verdadero mito y una idea genial de Carrol Shelby: Meter en el “compacto” Ford Mustang un motor “Big Block” de 7 litros ¿El resultado? Un coche de ensueño, precioso, de 1.500 kg y 360 CV… ¡que han llegado a más de 700 con compresor! A la gente de Planeta DeAgostini les gusta hacer las cosas “a lo grande” y la buena noticia es que este coche puede ser tuyo, en una detallada maqueta de casi 80 cm de largo a escala 1/6. Una maqueta hecha en metal que he podido ver y tocar con mis propias manos con sonido, luces, completamente detallada, con puertas y capós con mecanismos de apertura, con dirección y hasta ¡con mando a distancia! Siempre lo sigo: Disfrutas de esta maqueta sin duda con el resultado final, pero también con la obra editorial que acompaña a la colección, que te va a contar toda la historia y características de este modelo único y, sobre todo, montándola. Y volvemos al asunto, eléctricos vs híbridos… y es que Audi, Bentley, Cadillac, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Toyota, Volkswagen y Volvo, entre otras marcas, retrasan o posponen “sine die” sus planes de electrificación. Mientras los híbridos, especialmente los enchufables, ganan el favor del público… e incluso hay quienes afirman que son más ecológicos que los eléctricos puros. ¡Menudo lio! Que te vamos a aclarar. Muchos “electroheads” estarán pensando “¿quiénes son esos que afirman que los híbridos son más ecológicos que los eléctricos puros?”. Pues marcas tan importantes como Toyota por ejemplo… Algunos de esos “electroheads” me dirán, “¡Hombre Máximo! Ellos son juez y parte”. Y es verdad… como también es verdad que saben mucho, pero mucho de coches. Y las declaraciones de Akio Toyoda, su presidente, no son para echar en saco roto. Ha dicho, literalmente, que: “9 millones de coches eléctricos contaminan tanto como 27 millones de híbridos y por tanto la industria no debería enfocarse únicamente en los vehículos eléctrico”. Vale, señores “electroheads” que no so fiais de Akio Toyoda… hacéis mal, pero ¿os fiais de la American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy? Una entidad independiente norteamericana que se dedica a estudiar qué tipo de energías son más eficientes. En su último estudio afirma que “el coche más ecológico de EEUU no es precisamente eléctrico”, apunta a que es híbrido. Lo hemos dicho siempre en este canal: La emisiones de un coche deben tener en cuenta su uso, pero también su fabricación y reciclaje final. Y en este estudio denominado “Greencars” que mide el ciclo completo de vida de un coche ha dado como vencedor al coche más ecológico vendido en los USA a un híbrido enchufable, al Toyota Prius Prime SE. A esos modelos 100x100 eléctricos les bastan autonomías de como mucho 300/400 km que se consiguen con baterías relativamente pequeñas, de 50 kWh o hasta 75 kWh si aspiramos a algún viaje planificado, que resultan más ligeras y más baratas. Acabo de recoger un coche que responde a estas premisas, un flamante R5 100x100 eléctrico, amarillo, precioso, que va de maravilla y del que os contaré como va con todo lujo de detalles… para mí el arquetipo del eléctrico que interesa. Si vives en una ciudad o cerca, eléctrico. Si vi ves en el campo, lejos de las ciudades y quieres un coche grande e incluso un TT, diésel… y como decía el anuncio de una famosa tarjeta de crédito “para todo lo demás… híbrido”. Lo que sucede es que un buen híbrido enchufable en ciudad es como un eléctrico… eso sí, si te molestas en enchufarlo, ¡claro! Pero además puedes viajar “hasta el infinito y más allá” sin problemas, sin necesidad de programar el viaje de ni largas esperas para cargar. Me parto de la risa cuando veo video de “electroheads” que anuncian a bombo y platillo que se puede viajar sin problemas con un eléctrico porque en cargadores ultrarrápidos de ¡350 kWh! Que le meten un calentón “que pa' qué” a la batería, cargan el 80 por ciento en 15 minutos… Pero luego veo videos donde te cuentan lo que cuestan esas recargas, que pueden llegar a costar más que la gasolina. Y esto nos lleva a otro punto. Sí tienes garaje, en muchos casos un eléctrico puede ser una opción, porque si cargas en casa vas a ahorrar mucho en energía frente a un híbrido y mucho más frente a un coche térmico. Pero de lo contario… yo me lo pensaría.

FOLLOW UP: ELECTRIC CAR GRANT FALLOUT CONTINUESAs more details are revealed and more people begin to understand all of the ramifications of the UK Government's Electric Car Grant. Firstly, the list of car eligible for the two tiers of payments will be confirmed on 11 August 2025. The scheme went live on 16 July 2025. Click here to read an Autocar article on this. Secondly, car companies can self-register cars for the scheme and as the rules include Fleet registrations, this opens up the ability for abuse. Whilst these cars contributed to the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, now tax payer's money will be used to support car companies to be compliant. Click this link here to read more on that from Autocar. There are some suggesting that the overall scheme will have little affect, as was discussed on the show last week. Indicata, a motoring related data firm, has calculated that the grant will affect only 5.8% or 14.4% of new car registrations, dependent on which tier is sought. They also have used information from Italy's attempt as a similar scheme that made a small impact. On top of all that they highlight the danger of dramatic depreciation for newly bought vehicles and those outside of the eligibility of the scheme. Click this link to read more from a Motor Trader article. Some manufacturers are forging ahead and offering discounts on their cars at the same rate as the lower tier of the grant. The likes of Alfa Romeo, GWM, Hyundai, Leapmotor, MG and Volvo have already made their move. Click this AutoTrader article for more.Another issued raised was that the scheme ignores the used market. The Independent Motor Dealers Association (IMDA) has called for a £1000 grant for used EVs. Click this Motor Trader article link here to read more. FOLLOW UP: EMPLOYEE CAR OWNERSHIP SCHEMES IN CROSSHAIRSThe UK Government first brought up, what it felt, was the unfair practice of Employee Car Ownership Schemes back in the autumn. This is where a member of staff gets a new car, for a short period of time and then moves onto a new car, whilst paying a much reduced contribution that anyone outside of the scheme would. Proposed legislation will mean anyone taking advantage of such a scheme will be taxed as though that was a company car. To read more, click this Motor Trader article link here. VW PROFIT DROPS 29% YEAR ON YEARVW financial results for the first half of 2025 show a drop of 29%, with a big hit in Q2 thanks to the US tariffs. Both the profit and revenue was down on market expectations. If you want to find out more,

Happy America Day, or Cinco de Mayo, or Arbor Day, or… Today we celebrate Independence Day by wearing red, talking about bacon-tomato sandwiches (with sexy time), mispronouncing patron names, and learning what "arrears" means, maybe. We also explore whether coffee can be absorbed through beards, if sliding down fictional characters is allowed, and why Volvo ruins everyone's air conditioning. PLUS: the origin of the term “Starting Box,” a brief jazz interlude, thoughts on khakis in Ireland, and an episode dedication to (possibly) Donnell, Danell, Donald, or Danielle O'Brien.Also, did you know there's only one shortstop in baseball?

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through this week's announcement of AppleCare One and automakers' opting out of CarPlay Ultra. AppleCare One is Apple's new subscription for customers to cover multiple devices with a single plan. It starts at $19.99 per month for up to three products, with the ability to add more for $5.99 per month for each additional device. The plan incudes all of the benefits that come with ‌AppleCare‌+, such as unlimited repairs for accidents, priority support, battery coverage, and more.  Subscribers can freely move their devices in and out of the plan at any time. ‌AppleCare‌ One also enables users to add products they already own that are up to four years old, providing they are in good condition, extending beyond the current 60-day window to purchase ‌AppleCare‌+. When a customer trades in a covered product with Apple, it is automatically removed from their ‌AppleCare‌ One plan and replaced with the new device.  ‌AppleCare‌ One also expands theft and loss protection to the iPad and Apple Watch. Previously, it was only available for the iPhone.  ‌AppleCare‌ One's pricing is the same regardless of the products that are covered. Apple says that a customer who enrolls their ‌iPhone‌, ‌iPad‌, and Apple Watch could save up to $11 per month versus enrolling in separate ‌AppleCare‌+ plans for each device. Customers in the United States can now sign up for AppleCare One on their ‌iPhone‌, ‌iPad‌, or Mac, or by visiting an Apple Store. We also discuss the news that automakers including BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, Polestar, Renault, and General Motors will not support ‌CarPlay‌ Ultra. It seems to be a major retreat from Apple's 2022 announcement, which originally named 14 automakers as future ‌CarPlay‌ Ultra partners. ‌CarPlay‌ Ultra goes far beyond traditional ‌CarPlay‌ by taking control of the entire dashboard experience. The system displays vehicle information like temperature, speed, and fuel levels alongside ‌iPhone‌ apps, creating what Apple calls "a unified and consistent experience across all the driver's screens." Currently, only Aston Martin offers CarPlay Ultra in production vehicles. Hyundai and its Kia and Genesis cars remain committed partners, while Porsche plans future support. Other originally announced brands like Ford and Nissan have provided no updates on their ‌CarPlay‌ Ultra plans.

A Inteligência Artificial não está apenas transformando empresas e produtos, ela também está criando novas carreiras e reinventando profissões tradicionais. No novo episódio do Podcast Canaltech, conversamos com Iwens Gervasio, um dos responsáveis pela primeira graduação em IA do Brasil, da Universidade Federal de Goiás.

Looking for straight talk about electric vehicles? Our review of the 2025 Volvo EX40 Twin Motor Ultra pulls no punches, exposing both impressive features and frustrating flaws in this Belgian-built EV. With 402 horsepower and advanced pixel headlight technology, the vehicle offers plenty of power and premium features—but requires navigating through four separate touchscreen interactions just to turn it off.The real-world economics of EV ownership take center stage as we reveal how driving 270 miles required two charging sessions costing $33.59, while the same money would fuel a conventional truck for 232 miles without the charging delays. At an MSRP of $62,045 for our test model, the EX40 faces stiff competition from Mercedes, Audi, and Genesis alternatives.Auto appraiser Michael Wooding joins us to discuss the current state of the classic car market, revealing how economic uncertainty has created a buyer's paradise where normally $25,000 vehicles are selling for just $8,000. Wooding shares valuable insights about auto appraisals for insurance purposes, diminished value claims, and project cars in various stages of restoration.We round out the episode with upcoming car events across Texas and breaking automotive news, including Volvo's decision to trim its US product offerings, the elimination of fuel efficiency penalties for automakers, and Rivian's impressive new electric pickups and SUVs packing over 1,000 horsepower.Whether you're contemplating an electric vehicle purchase, curious about the value of your classic car in today's market, or simply want to stay informed about the rapidly evolving automotive landscape, this episode delivers the unfiltered, expert analysis you need to navigate your automotive decisions.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Automotive enthusiasts, buckle up for a three-course journey through the cutting edge of electric vehicles, the rarified world of elite car collections, and the rugged charm of an off-road icon reborn.We start by examining Volvo's latest electric offering—the 2025 EX40 Twin Motor Ultra AWD. Built in Belgium on the framework of last year's XC40, this all-electric crossover brings 402 horsepower and advanced pixel headlight technology to the premium EV segment. However, not everything about modern technology improves the driving experience. The EX40's touchscreen-centric control system requires four separate taps just to power down the vehicle—an unnecessarily complex solution to a problem that never existed. Despite these interface frustrations, the EX40 delivers competitive performance against rivals from Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Genesis, though at a premium price point starting at $62,045 for the Ultra trim.We then explore automotive passion at its most extreme with a tour of the world's most impressive car collections. From Dmitry Lomakov's Soviet-era treasures in Moscow to Ken Lingenfelter's performance-focused American muscle cars, these collections represent deep dedication to automotive preservation. The Sheikh of Abu Dhabi specializes in off-road vehicles including a massive Mercedes monster truck, while the Sultan of Brunei reigns supreme with approximately 7,000 vehicles valued at $5 billion—including 600 Rolls-Royces, 450 Ferraris, and numerous one-off custom creations that exist nowhere else.Finally, we take the wheel of the 2024 Land Rover Defender, Slovakia's boxy tribute to off-road capability. With its distinctive silhouette and doors that "shut like an old Norge refrigerator," the Defender combines rugged charm with modern luxuries. The mild-hybrid powertrain delivers 395 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, propelling this 5,000-pound fortress with surprising efficiency. While the $81,923 as-tested price positions it against premium competitors like the Lexus GX and Jeep Wagoneer, current import tariffs present challenges for Land Rover's supply chain.Whether you're fascinated by electric innovation, dream car collections, or capable off-roaders, join us for these automotive explorations that showcase the breadth and depth of today's automotive landscape. What would you choose: cutting-edge technology, historical preservation, or go-anywhere capability?Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!---- ----- Want more In Wheel Time car talk any time?

In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, host Paul Rodden unpacks two major stories that reveal the tension—and opportunity—in hydrogen's global rollout:

En este podcast vamos a hablar de técnica… y de dinero. Vamos a hablar de imaginación… y de dinero. Vamos a reflexionar sobre modularidad… y sobre el dinero. Porque las marcas, para desarrollar diferentes motores, hacen “trampas” para ahorrar… ¡Dinero! Entre lo que las marcas hacen “de verdad” y lo que cuentan… hay un largo trecho. Cuantas veces he ido a una presentación y me han vendido la burra de lo mucho que se habían empleado en desarrollar un nuevo motor… que de nuevo no tiene nada. ¿Sabes que es un motor modular? ¡Vamos a explicarlo! Aunque te pueda parecer otra cosa, lo realmente complicado de un motor es desarrollar cada cilindro, especialmente la culata. Una vez que has definido el pistón, la forma de la culata, toda la distribución, la posición de la bujía, etc., pues ya tienes el motor hecho. De hecho, las fabricantes de motores comienzan generalmente con un motor monocilíndricos y luego combinando cilindros, los hacen de 2, 4, 5 o los cilindros que sean. Cierto es que la disposición influye y que unos cilindros, cobre todo las vibraciones y las inercias de los pistones, interaccionan unos con otros. Pero no es menos cierto que una vez que has diseñado, por ejemplo, un motor de 4 cilindros, hacer uno de 3 es sencillo: Quitas uno y añades unos árboles de equilibrado. Y hacer un de 5, más sencillo, añades un cilindro. O hacer un V8, que combinas dos bancadas de 4 en V a 90 grados y ya lo tienes hecho. Como os decía al comenzar, ¿cuál es la mayor ventaja de este sistema? Pues que ahorras mucho, mucho dinero. Por eso es un procedimiento que se usaba antes… y se sigue usando ahora. Vamos a ver 10 ejemplo… y un Bonus Track.. 1. Aston Martin Project 003. La marca inglesa ha anunciado un futuro motor V6 con turbo y alrededor de 3 litros que obviamente sería menos potente que su V12 de 5,2 litros biturbo que alcanza y supera los 700 CV, pero que podría alcanzar incluso 450 con menos peso y tamaño. 2. Audi Quattro: Con 5 cilindros. Sencillamente Audi necesitaba más potencia y necesitaba motores para colocarlos en sus coches de tracción delantera, sin que hubiese que hacer cambios. Así que partiendo de la base del motor 4 cilindros de 1,6/1,8 litros añadió otro más. 3. Audi: V6 y V6+2. Audi le fue bien y siguió por ese camino, pero pasándose a los motores en V que tienen ventajas de compacidad… y que pueden llegar a los 8 cilindros. 4. BMW de 3, 4 y 6 cilindros. En 2014, BMW presento su familia modular que comprendía desde motores de 3 cilindros y 1.5 litros a motores de 6 cilindros y 3 litros. Como veis y como veremos, la cilindrada unitaria de unos 500 cm3 en una buena idea y muchos motores parte de esa premisa. 5. Bugatti W16: La suma de dos V8. Son dos motores V6 de “V estrecha” con dos cilindros más para hacerlos V8 y colocados juntos. Un lío, pero si quieres 1.001 CV hay que complicarse un poco la vida… aunque no harían falta tantos cilindros. 5. Ferrari y Alfa Romeo: ¿V8 o V6? Quizás uno de los mejores ejemplos de motor modular es la familia de motores Ferrari de clave F154 que usan Alfa Romeo, Maserati y la propia Ferrari. 7. Mercedes FAME: 4, 6 u 8, a elegir. Mercedes-Benz ha creado su propia familia de motores que denomina FAME que viene de “Family of Modular Engines”. Es de las más amplias. 8. VW de “V estrecha”, VR5 y VR6. En VW se inspiraron en un motor extraño, el V4 de Lancia con una V de un poquito menos de 13 grados, lo que permitía hacer un motor muy compacto. De hecho, hicieron un V6 a 15 grados muy compacto. 9. Renault tipo N: ¿4 o 5? En realidad, es un motor de origen Volvo denominado N7Q cuando es de 4 cilindros y N7U cuando es de 5 cilindros. Se ofrece con cilindradas de 1948 cm3 a 2.435 cm3 y potencias de 136 a 165 CV. 10. Volvo E Drive: ¡Desde 2 cilindros! Volvo diseño a finales de los años 2010 una familia de motores modulares que, según ellos, podían usarse de 2 a 6 cilindros. De momento sirvió para que Volvo utilizase por primea vez un tricilíndrico de 1,5 litros en su XC40 anunciando unos consumos ajustadísimos. Bonus Track. Porsche 968: Medio V8. Lo de los motores modulares, aunque al principio la idea no fuese esa, no es cosa nueva. No os fieis de la IA´s… al menos de momento. Según ellas el Porsche 944 legó a llevar un motor 4 cilindros de 3 litros. Falso. Lo cierto es que el Porsche 924, un diseño de Porsche para VW, lo recompró la propia marca y lo vendió con motor VW. El coche sabía a poco. Luego lanzaron el 944 con motor de 2.5 litros y que recurrió al turbo. Y por fin, encontraron una solución. Tenían el excelente motor V8 del 928, diseñado por Porsche desde cero y que era una verdadera joya que llegó a alcanzar los 5,4 litros. Y alguien pensó: ¿Y si utilizamos medio motor V8? Dicho y hecho, subieron la cilindrada unitaria hasta los 750 cm3 y montaron arboles de equilibrado. Otra joya, que conozco bien, y que alcanzaba los 250 CV. Conclusión. La cierto es que cuando se hacen las cosas bien, los motores modulares son buenos para el fabricante y buenos para los consumidores… lo que sucede es que a veces los ahorros excesivos repercuten en la calidad… que es lo que ha pasado, por ejemplo, a alguna que otra empresa, como la que comienza por Ja y acaba por ar, o la que comienza por Ste y acaba en tis… y no quiero decir nombres.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1095: Volvo takes a $1.2B charge as EV costs and tariffs bite. Nissan shifts gears in Mississippi, shelving EV plans in favor of SUVs and pickups. And Ford steps up in Texas, donating $1.25M and deploying people and vehicles to aid flood victims.Nissan's $500M investment to build five EVs in Canton has stalled amid political uncertainty and loss of U.S. tax credits. The automaker is eyeing SUVs and pickups to keep the lights on.With EV plans delayed, Nissan is pivoting to body-on-frame vehicles, potentially doubling Canton's output with models like the Armada and Infiniti QX80.A return of the rugged Xterra is also on the table — this time as a hybrid SUV riding on the Frontier truck platform.The shift could revive a plant running at half capacity and counter rising tariffs on imports from Japan.Nissan is even exploring a “what if” collaboration with Honda to build pickups, but one source called it “pie in the sky at this stage.”Volvo Cars is taking a $1.2 billion charge in Q2 as it battles rising costs, tariffs, launch delays tied to its electric vehicle lineup and reduced profitability on two electric models, the EX90 SUV and ES90 sedan.The EX90 began production in June in South Carolina, but saw over a year of delays due to software issues and is launching without key features like lidar, ADAS tools, and bidirectional charging.The China-built ES90 sedan isn't faring better—tariffs in the U.S. and EU have made it tough to sell profitably in Volvo's key markets.The company is in the midst of deep cost-cutting, including layoffs impacting 3,000 jobs globally and 15% of its U.S. commercial staff.Volvo's U.S. sales rose 6% in the first half of 2025, but global deliveries fell 9%, highlighting uneven momentum.Ford and its dealer network are going all in to support Texans in the wake of devastating flash floods.The automaker, along with Ford Philanthropy and Texas dealers, is donating $1.25 million to local charities and disaster relief partners.Beyond dollars, Ford is supplying loaner vehicles to the American Red Cross to expand outreach in hard-hit areas.Ford's new Extended Volunteer Paid Time Off policy allows trained employees to deploy with Team Rubicon for on-the-ground disaster relief.Volunteers will also be packing food boxes for families through the North Texas Food Bank and running shelters and reunification centers.“We're standing alongside our Texas Ford Dealers… to ensure critical support gets to those who need it most,” said Elena Ford.0:00 Intro with Kyle Mountsier and Michael Cirillo0:30 Paul and Kyle were at the Beaver Golf Tournament yesterday1:40 New Auto Collabs episode with John Sacco on recycled metals2:20 Congrats to Ashley Cavazos on being the new President of WOCAN!3:55 Nissan To Pivot Canton, Mississippi PlantJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

President Trump threatened new tariffs on Russia, Mexico and the EU. Plus: Crypto-sensitive stocks rose, as bitcoin prices rallied to another high.

Jill and Tom opened the show with a brief acknowledgment of the podcast's apparent popularity in Sweden. Amusingly, the show is described on Poddtroppen—a Swedish podcast download site—as a “Komedie.” Moving on, the hosts discussed yet another—massive—Ford recall. Tom suggests a reason why Ford might be in the trouble its in. Still in the first segment, the hosts dig into Volvo's recently announced decision to layoff 15-percent of its U.S. workforce. Next, Jill reviews the 2025 Subaru WRX tS, with manual transmission. In the second segment Jill and Tom welcome Jennifer Stockburger of Consumer Reports to the show. Jennifer discussed the Consumer Reports recently published Best Cars for Teens lists, and what went into creating them. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Saab!” quiz—which includes a Swedish-themed bonus question. And, as the show wraps up, Jill pledged to try and get passed Apple CarPlay.
