Im aktuellen Podcast hatte ich die Gelegenheit, erneut mit Stefan Heimlich zu sprechen, einem Experten für nachhaltige Mobilität, der die Entwicklungen der Branche seit Jahren kritisch und konstruktiv begleitet. Wir haben uns über die derzeitige Rückkehrdebatte rund um den Verbrenner ausgetauscht, die nach der IAA und vor dem kommenden Autogipfel im Oktober für viel Aufmerksamkeit sorgt. Stefan machte dabei deutlich, wie gefährlich er diesen Schritt einschätzt: „Ich möchte nicht in einem Museumsland Deutschland leben, sondern in einem Deutschland, das der Zukunft zugewandt ist.“ Ein Schwerpunkt unseres Gesprächs lag auf der Unsicherheit, die derzeit am Automarkt herrscht. Viele Menschen wissen schlicht nicht, ob ein Verbrenner, ein Plug-in-Hybrid oder ein Elektroauto die richtige Wahl ist. Diese Zögerlichkeit hat bereits Folgen: Werke stehen teilweise still und es gibt Überkapazitäten in der Produktion. Stefan sieht darin das Ergebnis einer von Lobbyarbeit geprägten Debatte, die Verbraucher:innen verunsichert. „Wenn ständig behauptet wird, E-Autos seien nicht alltagstauglich, dann überlegen sich die Leute zweimal, ob sie kaufen. Das schadet der Branche schon heute.“ Sehr eindrücklich war Stefans Blick über die deutschen Grenzen hinaus. In China, dem größten Automarkt der Welt, sind fast 50 Prozent aller Neuzulassungen sogenannte „New Energy Vehicles“, wovon über 60 Prozent rein batterieelektrisch sind. Plug-in-Hybride spielen zwar noch eine Rolle, Range Extender oder Wasserstoff hingegen fast keine. Auch in Afrika, Lateinamerika und den USA zeichnet sich ein klarer Trend zum Elektroauto ab – getrieben von ökonomischen Gründen wie der Einsparung teurer Ölimporte oder gezielten Industrieprogrammen. „Der weltweite Markt spricht eine klare Sprache – und die heißt batterieelektrisch. Wer in Zukunft Autos verkaufen will, kommt daran nicht vorbei.“ Wir sind auch auf die Rolle der Zulieferer eingegangen. Bosch etwa baut derzeit zehntausende Stellen ab, weil man den Einstieg in die Batterietechnologie verpasst hat. Für Stefan ist das ein Beispiel dafür, wie Fehlentscheidungen auf dem Rücken der Beschäftigten ausgetragen werden. Mittelständische Familienunternehmen, die stark vom Verbrenner abhängen, benötigen nach seiner Einschätzung gezielte Unterstützung, um neue Geschäftsfelder zu entwickeln. Hier sei auch die Politik gefragt, damit der Wandel sozialverträglich gelingt. Trotz aller Herausforderungen sieht Stefan die deutsche Autoindustrie aber auf einem guten Weg. Die IAA habe gezeigt, dass die großen Hersteller ernsthaft im Elektrozeitalter angekommen sind. BMW präsentierte die „Neue Klasse“ mit 800-Volt-Technik, Mercedes stellte den GLC und eine neue Plattform vor, und VW kündigte eine Urban Car Family im Volumensegment an. „Ich habe überhaupt keine Sorge, dass die deutsche Autoindustrie das Ziel 2035 locker einhalten wird.“ Für Stefan ist klar: Der Blick nach vorne ist entscheidend. Wer sich an alte Geschäftsmodelle klammert, riskiert den Anschluss. Doch wer die Chancen der Elektromobilität nutzt und zugleich Zulieferer wie Beschäftigte in den Wandel mitnimmt, hat alle Möglichkeiten, auch künftig international erfolgreich zu sein. Damit genug der Vorrede – jetzt direkt hinein in das Gespräch mit Stefan Heimlich.

For anyone who lived through the classic Volkswagen scene of the 1980s, the Raspberry Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback with the Targa Top is impossible to forget. This one-of-a-kind custom VW build captured the spirit of the era and became one of the most talked-about Type 3s of its time. In this episode of Let's Talk Dubs, I sit down with Eddie, the man behind this legendary Fastback, to hear the full story. From the moment a teenage enthusiast first stumbled onto the car, to the late nights in the neighborhood garage, this build represents the passion that fueled the VW hobby in the 80s. We cover how the custom Type 3 Fastback dominated the awards at Type 3 Day, went on to appear in Volkswagen magazines across the globe, and cemented its place in VW history. Whether you're into Type 3 restoration, 80s Volkswagen culture, or iconic show cars that changed the scene, this is an episode you won't want to miss.     www.letstalkdubs.com www.vwtrendsmagazine.com www.rosswulf.com  

Send us a textIn this episode of Conversations with Big Rich, Texas native Lance Gilbert traces his winding path from small-town Keller and church-band guitars to VW shops, GM dealerships, architecture school, homebuilding—and a post-9/11 pivot back to off-road. Lance shares formative years at Sunray Engineering with the late Tom Ellison, a decade at PSC with Tom Allen, and deep roots in early Ultra4 and King of the Hammers.Highlights: - Early days: fishing, bikes, first wrenching job at a VW/Audi/Porsche shop; first rigs from Suburbans to Isuzu pickups and Jeeps. - Career pivots: dealerships to homebuilding; how 9/11 led to Sunray and custom axle innovation; later years at PSC and into Tribe 16. - Racing stories: Class 3 in Baja, the early KOH era, and a memorable Vegas to Reno with the Texas crew. - Tribe 16 name: a nod to 4x4 (“the 16”) and the “night shift” culture of building with friends. - Today at Tribe 16: customer Jeeps, high-end builds and restorations (Scout, '72 Commando, CJ-7), gear and maintenance, and two new Tribe chassis trail cars. - Community first: Texas trail rides, shop trips, the legendary Crawfish Boil, and why local shops collaborate more than they compete.Lance's take: passion fuels the work, but relationships sustain the business—and the off-road family is the heartbeat of Tribe 16. Support the show

WHY DO CUTTING EDGE EVS STILL HAVE A 12 VOLT BATTERY? Welcome back to EV News Daily, welcome The Tech Sheet, the name we give to special bonus episodes which explain the tech behind EVs. Despite the advances in electric vehicle technology, from massive lithium-ion battery packs to sophisticated power management systems, virtually every modern electric vehicle still carries what appears to be an automotive relic: the humble 12-volt lead-acid battery. This seemingly anachronistic component, dating back to automotive conventions established in the 1950s, continues to play a critical role in even the most advanced electric vehicles. The persistence of 12V systems in cutting-edge EVs represents a fascinating intersection of legacy engineering, practical necessity, safety requirements, and economic considerations that have proven remarkably resistant to disruption. The recent introduction of Tesla's Cybertruck with its groundbreaking 48-volt electrical architecture has reignited industry discussions about whether the time has finally come to abandon the decades-old 12V standard. Tesla's decision to share its 48V implementation documentation with other automakers has created both opportunity and controversy, raising fundamental questions about the future of automotive electrical systems. Yet two years after the Cybertruck's launch, the industry has largely remained committed to traditional 12V architectures, revealing deep-seated challenges that extend far beyond simple technical preferences.

Electric Starter Innovation (1912): Cadillac's electric starter replaced hazardous hand cranking, creating the first real demand for onboard batteries. Primitive Battery Tech: Early lead-acid batteries were heavy, maintenance-intensive, but crucially rechargeable, forming the backbone of automotive electrification. Transition to 12 Volts (1953–1956): GM pioneered the switch to 12 volts to handle more powerful engines, advanced lighting, and growing accessory loads. Efficiency of Higher Voltage: Doubling voltage reduced current needs, allowing thinner wiring, cost savings in copper, and improved reliability. Industry Standardization: By 1956, nearly all US automakers adopted 12 volts, though some European brands (e.g., VW) stuck with 6 volts into the 1960s. Failed 42-Volt Push (1990s–2000s): Attempts to move to 42 volts collapsed due to entrenched 12-volt supply chains, high transition costs, and improvements in electronics that stretched 12-volt capacity. Dual Systems in EVs: Modern EVs use high-voltage packs (400–800V) for propulsion plus a separate 12-volt system for safe, standardized accessory power. Critical Role of 12 Volts in EVs: Powers ECUs, startup systems, safety features, and even contactors that enable the high-voltage battery—failure immobilizes the car. Manufacturing & Service Dependence: Wiring harness complexity, global supply chains, technician training, and standardized safety/service procedures all lock in 12-volt dominance. Economic & Regulatory Inertia: Supplier ecosystems, cost-benefit barriers, and established safety frameworks have long prevented alternative low-voltage standards from taking over. Tesla's 48-Volt Revolution (2023, Cybertruck): First production vehicle to adopt full 48-volt architecture; reduces current loads, wiring weight, and improves efficiency but required custom components outside traditional supplier chains.

Hoy nos hemos propuesto una misión: Desenmascarar a los “Coches Problemáticos”. Hemos elaborado la “lista negra de coches para no comprar” que pueden acabar con tu paciencia, tu dinero y que se devalúan mucho. ¿Estás pensando en cambiar de coche? Te recomiendo que, antes de que te arrepientas durante años, escuches este podcast. Hemos hecho este podcast por tres circunstancias: Una, pese a todo, no estaba muy satisfecho de ese video: Se podía mejorar. Y es lo que intento en este. Dos, había que actualizarlo, en este hablamos de modelos, MUY IMPORTANTE, con 5 años o menos. Y tres, muchos de vosotros me lo habíais pedido. Y lo digo siempre porque es verdad: ¡Vuestros deseos son órdenes! ¿Y de dónde sacamos esta información? No es una opinión, son datos. Hemos cruzado y analizado informes de fiabilidad de organizaciones de consumidores tan serias como la OCU en España, estudios de consultoras internacionales como J.D. Power, los rigurosos informes de las inspecciones técnicas alemanas (TÜV y DEKRA), y, sobre todo, hemos buceado en la fuente para mí más honesta y dolorosa: las quejas de miles de propietarios en foros especializados y los informes de los talleres, que son los que al final del día se enfrentan a estos desastres mecánicos. Y vamos ya con “La Lista Negra de Garaje Hermético”. Audi Q7. 2ª generación, desde 2019 a 2024. El Problema: El Audi Q7 es un modelo muy tecnológico, pero uno de sus sistemas de confort más caros es también su talón de Aquiles: la suspensión neumática. Los fuelles neumáticos que sustituyen a los muelles tradicionales, tienden a presentar fugas con el paso del tiempo y los kilómetros. Una fuga, aunque sea pequeña, provoca que el coche se incline visiblemente hacia un lado cuando está aparcado. Ford Focus. 4ª generación, 2019 a 2021. Las primeras unidades de la cuarta generación del Focus arrastraron varios problemas de juventud. El más grave y reportado son las fugas de aceite en la caja de cambios manual como automática. Una fuga de aceite en la transmisión, si no se detecta a tiempo, puede provocar un desgaste catastrófico de los componentes internos, llevando a una avería muy cara. Jaguar E-Pace y Land Rover Discovery Sport y Evoque. Versiones 2019 a 2024. Agrupamos a los primos británicos porque comparten plataforma y, lamentablemente, problemas. El principal foco de averías está en los motores Ingenium, tanto diésel como gasolina, donde se reportan casos de consumo excesivo de aceite, sobrecalentamiento y problemas con la cadena de distribución… Nissan Qashqai. 3ª generación. 2021-2022. La tercera generación del Qashqai ha dado un gran salto en diseño y tecnología, pero su electrónica no ha estado a la altura en las primeras unidades. El problema más recurrente, en las primeras series, son los fallos del sistema multimedia y la electrónica general. Pantallas que se bloquean, se reinician o dejan de responder son quejas habituales. Renault Clio V y Captur II E-Tech. Versiones Híbridas del 2020 al 2023. Stellantis (Citroën, Fiat, Peugeot y Opel) Aquí tenemos que hablar de dos problemas mayúsculos. El motor 1.2 PureTech. 2019-2024 y el sistema AdBlue de los Diésel BlueHDi. 2019-2024. Tesla Model 3. 2019 a 2022. El Model 3 es un coche brillante en su concepto, pero su ejecución, especialmente en las unidades fabricadas en Fremont (EE.UU.), deja mucho que desear en cuanto a calidad de fabricación. Los problemas no son tanto mecánicos como de ajuste y acabado. Grupo Volkswagen: Audi, Seat y VW. Tampoco se libra, con dos problemas muy extendidos. El software de la plataforma MQB Evo. 2020-2022 y la caja de cambios DSG. 2019-2024. Volvo XC60. 2ª generación, modelos “Sensus” 2019-2022. El Problema: El XC60 de segunda generación ha presentado fallos diversos en su sistema de infoentretenimiento Sensus que puede bloquearse o funcionar con lentitud. Conclusión. Como habéis visto, la complejidad de los coches modernos, con su carga de electrónica y sus enrevesados sistemas anticontaminación, ha creado nuevos y costosos focos de averías.

The facility will support scale and lower costs for new models like the R2, following Tesla's profitability playbook as Rivian moves into higher-volume, lower-priced vehicles. RENAULT 4 EV GETS A CARGO VAN VARIANT Renault's new electric 4 is now offered as a cargo van with a load capacity of 1,045 litres and up to 254 miles of range, priced in France from €29,300 before VAT. The conversion is managed in-house by Renault at its Maubeuge plant, with multiple battery and power options for commercial customers. UK GEELY EX5 CUSTOMERS GET FREE ANDERSEN A3 HOME CHARGER INSTALLED Geely will provide buyers of the all-electric EX5 a free Andersen A3 home charger, featuring unique design and smart charging integration, for orders placed before October 23, 2025. The charger, which includes full installation and a seven-year warranty, is compatible with solar power and smart charging tariffs. GAC AION V APPROVED FOR AUSTRALIA Chinese automaker GAC's Aion V electric SUV has been cleared for sale in Australia, featuring a 75 kWh LFP battery for up to 374 miles of range and fast charging from 30% to 80% in 16 minutes. Pricing will start below $45,000 AUD, with deliveries and detailed specs announced closer to launch. TESLA MELBOURNE FSD TEST WAS NOT APPROVED Victorian authorities confirmed Tesla was not authorized to test "Full Self-Driving" on Melbourne's public roads after a viral video showed a Model Y performing an autonomous hook turn in the city center. Tesla says FSD is driver-supervised and not yet legal for autonomous use in Australia, where regulatory permits are required for such trials. TESLA ADDS 7‑YEAR WARRANTY TO SOME PARTS Tesla's 2026 model year vehicles in the US and Canada now carry a “High-Priced Propulsion-Related Part Warranty,” giving seven years' coverage for key electrical components like the power conversion system and high-voltage parts. This new warranty is separate from existing battery and drive unit terms, aimed at lowering costly repair risk for buyers. NHTSA OPENS PROBE INTO 2021 TESLA MODEL Y DOORS U.S. safety regulators have launched a probe into 174,000 Model Y vehicles from 2021 after reports the electronic door handles could fail, potentially trapping children inside. Preliminary findings suggest the issue is linked to low-voltage battery problems, and several parents broke windows to access their children during incidents. SUZUKI LAUNCHES E VITARA EV IN JAPAN IN JANUARY Suzuki's first battery-electric car, the e Vitara SUV, will go on sale in Japan in January 2026, produced in India for export and offering 267 miles per charge at around $27,000. It represents Suzuki's major push into global EVs with significant investments and ambitions for high-volume exports. ID. TOUAREG COULD BE THE FIRST SSP MODEL Volkswagen may transform its Touareg into the first fully electric SSP platform model, with combustion production ending in 2026 and SSP assembly possibly starting in Bratislava by 2029. The SSP platform promises cost savings and fast charging, with VW's wider rollout across brands and models to follow. VOLKSWAGEN DROPS FLUSH DOOR HANDLES FOR FUNCTION Volkswagen will move away from flush-mounted door handles in favor of traditional grab handles in response to customer frustration, as outlined by the brand's CEO at IAA Mobility. The company's next-gen ID. models will prioritize practicality to appeal to mainstream buyers over early adopters. NISSAN CUTS NEW LEAF OUTPUT OVER BATTERY SHORTAGE Nissan has halved production plans for its new Leaf due to shortfalls in battery supply, with revised output at the Tochigi plant being several thousand lower per month. The cutback delays a key launch for Nissan, which is betting on the new Leaf to reinvigorate its lagging EV business.

Click here to share your favorite car, car story or any automotive trivia!Dave Abelow's love affair with Volkswagen Beetles began in middle school when a friend's family rolled into Connecticut from California in a stunning black oval-window Bug with red interior. What started as teenage infatuation evolved into a seven-Beetle odyssey spanning five decades, including the remarkable transformation of his WWII veteran father from VW skeptic to devoted owner during the 1973 oil embargo.As co-founder of Connecticut's Small Car Company club (named after the legendary VW dealership), Dave has spent 11 years building a community that's "more about friendship and camaraderie" than Robert's Rules of Order. His current ride? A fire-breathing 1972 Super Beetle pushing 200 horsepower – proof that these humble cars can pack serious surprises.Listen to Dave's favorite episode with fellow Connecticut air-cooled car enthusiast and past guest, Guinevere Freccia - https://buzzsprout.com/admin/2316026/episodes/16886205-air-cooled-and-carefree-guinevere-s-vw-beetle-tales-and-family-restoration-traditionsBeyond the garage, Dave's "Mentors and Motors" program bridges the gap between talented technical students and restoration shops desperate for skilled workers. He shares the story of spotting raw talent in a young tech student who could both wrench and sketch an Audi TT from memory – now working at a premier restoration shop.From driving his father's '73 Beetle as their wedding getaway car to displaying a vintage Small Car Company deck lid as wall art in his office, Dave demonstrates how air-cooled Volkswagens aren't just transportation – they're threads that weave families, friendships, and futures together. His philosophy? It's about "people as much as it is about the cars." *** Your Favorite Automotive Podcast - Now Arriving Weekly!!! *** Listen on your favorite platform and visit https://carsloved.com for full episodes, our automotive blog, Guest Road Trip Playlist and our new CAR-ousel of Memories photo archive.

Seit fast 150 Jahren hat das Auto unsere Mobilität verändert - radikal, emotional und nachhaltig. Allen Versuchen, zwischen Verkehrswende und Klimaschutz zum Trotz, ist die Liebe der freien Bürger zur freien Fahrt ungebrochen. Viele Männer tun mehr für ihr Auto als für ihre Frauen, ein Familienmitglied ist es schon lange und vollständig abschaffen lässt es sich ohnehin nicht. Komme, was da wolle. Aber wie soll das gehen, wenn wir es mit einer klimafreundlichen Zukunft ernst nehmen? Können wir alle mit Strom fahren und uns keine weiteren Gedanken machen? Oder braucht es ein grundsätzliches Umdenken, das nicht bei mehr Radwegen und einem erweiterten ÖPNV stehen bleibt? Darüber wollen wir heute reden mit Professor Kurt Möser, Historiker am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, mit Heiko Nickel vom Mobilitätsdezernat der Stadt Frankfurt, mit Professor Andreas Knie, Verkehrsforscher am Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung und mit Stephan Lina, Reporter auf der heute beginnenden IAA in München. Podcast-Tipp: Die Entscheidung Deutsche Firmen und China - das hat mal richtig gut gepasst, auch in der Autoindustrie. VW war ganz vorne mit dabei und wurde zum Kult in China - es folgt eine Wirtschaftsära, die Deutschland und China reich machen werden. Und heute? Sieht die Welt anders aus: „Made in China 2025“ - so heißt der ganz große Plan der chinesischen Staatsführung. Wie ist diese Entwicklung für jemanden, der von Anfang an hautnah dabei war? „Die Entscheidung“ spricht exklusiv mit Wenpo Lee, der Ende der 70er Jahre der einzige chinesische Mitarbeiter im Werk in Wolfsburg war. Damals stand eines Tages plötzlich und unangekündigt eine Delegation aus China vor den Werkstoren stand. Er wurde gerufen, um zu übersetzen. Aber das war nur der Anfang. https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:63a51253cb0c2bfd/

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1137: VinFast leans into a dealer-driven strategy while VW puts the brakes on ID.4 production despite rock-bottom lease pricing. Meanwhile, Porsche unveils a slick wireless charger for its next-gen Cayenne EV.Show Notes with links:Despite reporting a larger Q2 loss, Vietnamese EV maker VinFast is still betting on a traditional dealership model to accelerate growth and cut costs. The shift marks a major pivot from its direct-to-consumer roots.Q2 net loss hit $812M, up 15% from Q1, as VinFast ramps global marketing and R&D.Revenue rose 91.6% YoY to $663M, with vehicle deliveries jumping 172% to 35,837 units.Founder Pham Nhat Vuong pledged $1.5B to support expansion and R&D as the company moves away from company-owned showrooms to a lighter, franchised dealership model.“We stick to our goal this year and are flexible with our market approach amid (the) changing global situation,” said Chairperson Thuy Le.Despite offering the most affordable EV lease in the U.S., Volkswagen is pausing ID.4 production in Chattanooga as consumer demand continues to drop.Production will stop in late October, affecting 160 workers who will be furloughed with 80% pay and full benefits.ID.4 sales dropped 65% in Q2, down to 1,992 units, compared to 5,665 in the same quarter last year.Loss of federal EV tax credit and increased competition from Hyundai and GM have hurt demand.Volkswagen has dropped lease pricing to $129/month, but discounts haven't reversed the trend.A company spokesperson called the pause a “market-driven decision” with no set restart date.Forget cables—Porsche's new wireless charging pad for the upcoming Cayenne EV brings smartphone-style convenience to your driveway, with high-tech safety features and surprisingly strong performance.The 11-kW wireless charger pad delivers overnight charging speeds, matching typical Level 2 plug-in options.The system activates automatically when a compatible vehicle parks over the pad, eliminating the need to plug in.Pad is air-cooled; vehicle-mounted plate is liquid-cooled and must be pre-wired at the factory.Built-in radar pauses charging if it detects pets or metal objects, adding a layer of safety to home charging.U.S. pricing is still pending, but the full system—including vehicle integration—is expected to cost around $9,500 based on European estimates.0:00 Intro with Kyle Mountsier and Michael Cirillo0:52 The ebbs and flows of mainstream news1:54 Announcements2:54 Vinfast Announces $812M Q2 Loss5:46 VW To Pause US ID.4 Production9:12 Porsche To Offer Wireless ChargingJoin 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/

You think the car market is safe? Think again. Your next car probably won't be a Ford, Toyota, or VW — and it may be built in your backyard. China's automakers aren't trying to win by shipping more cars — they're winning by building inside the markets that tried to shut them out.In this episode we break down the bold, real strategy behind that shift: speed, cost, and total control of the supply chain.What you'll learn:• How Chinese makers (like BYD) are bypassing tariffs by building factories in Europe, Mexico, Brazil and beyond.• The 3 secrets giving them a permanent cost advantage: faster product cycles, cheaper factory build costs, and vertical integration (batteries, chips, parts).• Why tariffs didn't stop them — and how “Made in Europe/Mexico” changes the game.• What this means for prices, features, and the future of legacy automakers.

On this episode, I sit down with my friend Paul Bernardo—an engineer, builder, and true mechanical savant who has left his mark on both Volkswagen and Porsche history. I first met Paul more than a decade ago, and ever since hearing his story, I've wanted to bring it to the podcast. If you're a fan of VW drag racing, you've probably heard of Mini Mike—the shortened wheelbase Volkswagen drag car that turned heads at the Bug-Ins back in the 1970s. That car was Paul's creation. With a background in engineering, Paul could have gone in any direction, but he chose to dive into Volkswagens and eventually Porsches, turning his passion into a career that's inspired countless enthusiasts. Paul is a true Renaissance man: a builder who can make almost anything happen, a guy who sees opportunities where others see limits, and someone who has always been driven by creativity and precision. In this episode, we unpack his journey—from early VW drag racing days to building a legacy around some of the most iconic cars in our hobby.   www.letstalkdubs.com ICON pistons
