How Trump’s Victory Could Affect Car Buyers
Saison 2 · Épisode 89
mercredi 13 novembre 2024 • Durée 24:40
So... we had an election last week. In this episode, I discuss the potential impacts of the second Trump administration on the automotive industry, focusing on consumer implications, regulatory changes, and the effects of tariffs. I highlight the importance of the CARS rule, the future of electric vehicles, and how tariffs could influence car prices and availability. I also show you how to adapt your car buying strategies in light of these changes, ensuring you remain informed and proactive in your purchasing decisions.
Topics
- How changes to federal regulations could overturn the CARS Rule, eliminating transparency in car buying and encouraging deceptive sales practices.
- Electric vehicle tax credits may be targeted, affecting EV sales and costing automakers millions.
- How increased tariffs on imported goods could increase new car price, repair costs and insurance premiums for car buyers and owners.
- What strategies car buyers should use to get a good deal despite regulatory and market changes.

Lessons Learned from Living with a Rivian: The Realities of EV Ownership feat. Dr. Glenn Jaffe
Saison 2 · Épisode 88
mercredi 6 novembre 2024 • Durée 37:00
We've got a great episode today! I am so excited to have my guest and longtime friend, Dr. Glenn Jaffe on the show. A couple of years ago, I did an episode dedicated to what it would be like to really live with an electric vehicle. At the time, we heard all the hype and everyone was really excited. However, at the time I recorded that episode, it was still a little more theoretical. But now, EVs have been around for a while and more people have been living with them so we have some more empirical data. This is why I'm excited to actually hear from someone who lived with an electric vehicle for a time. Glenn bought a Rivian R1S, and while the process of taking delivery was great, his overall experience wasn’t what he expected it would be which led him to selling the vehicle after only 9 months of ownership.
Topics:
- Why Glenn chose Rivian for his first electric vehicle and why he didn’t have any reservations investing in a car from a brand new company
- The process of taking delivery of a Rivian and why Glenn felt as if it was a luxury experience, highlighting where the company went above and beyond
- What Glenn loved about Rivian from the car itself, it’s engineering and handling, and even the app that is used to control the car
- Charging and range issues that Glenn ran into and why he believes the infrastructure for electric vehicles is not efficient or where it needs to be for confident ownership
