Scout Is Building the Anti-Tesla. | MotoMan Podcast # 033
Season 1 · Episode 33
Wednesday, October 14, 2026 • Duration 44:08
Is Scout Motors building the anti-Tesla?
While Tesla, Rivian and other automakers embrace futuristic electric vehicles, Scout Motors is taking the opposite approach: physical buttons, traditional truck engineering, a solid rear axle and less technology between the driver and the road.
In this episode of the MotoMan Podcast, Scout Motors Chief Design Officer Chris Benjamin reveals the strategy behind the Scout Traveler SUV and Scout Terra pickup truck.
Benjamin, whose career includes BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Jeep, explains why Scout is rejecting modern EV design trends, how Volkswagen Group influences the company, and why a gasoline range extender could change the electric truck equation.
He also reveals why he rejected Scout's original design direction and had just three weeks to present an alternative.
Can the future of electric trucks succeed by going backwards?

Bob Lutz on Who Wins and Who Dies | MotoMan Podcast # 032
Season 1 · Episode 32
Wednesday, October 7, 2026 • Duration 01:35:20
The global auto industry is changing faster than it has in decades — and Bob Lutz has some very strong opinions about who is getting it right, who is getting it wrong and which automakers may be in serious trouble.
This week on the MotoMan Podcast, Bob Lutz returns for a wide-ranging conversation about China, the future of the German auto industry, electric vehicles, Porsche, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, General Motors, Ford, Tesla, Hyundai, Kia, Ferrari, Corvette and the rapidly changing economics of building cars.
Are Chinese automakers really leaving the West behind? Bob argues the real Chinese advantage may have less to do with EV technology than many people think — and far more to do with cost, development speed, vertical integration and the ability to improve products at a pace legacy automakers struggle to match.
Then there’s Germany.
Bob explains why he no longer considers companies like BMW, Mercedes and Audi as bulletproof as he once did, why China has become such a major problem for European automakers, and why Volkswagen and Porsche face particularly difficult decisions. He also weighs in on Porsche’s EV strategy, the enormous cost of failed vehicle programs and whether the German government would ever allow its biggest automotive companies to fail.
Bob and MotoMan debate GM’s current strength, why Hyundai and Kia continue to move so quickly, Tesla’s shrinking product portfolio, the future of EV batteries and fast charging, Slate Auto, Rivian, software-defined vehicles, humanoid robots in automotive manufacturing and whether automation could ultimately help Western automakers close the cost gap with China.
They also get into enthusiast cars, Corvette, the possibility of a Corvette SUV, why performance vehicles still matter to automakers, Ferrari design, the Pontiac Aztek and one of the most important questions facing the industry:
Stop Buying EVs You Don’t Need | MotoMan Podcast # 031
Season 1 · Episode 31
Wednesday, September 23, 2026 • Duration 01:32:54
Are EVs actually failing—or did the automotive industry simply promise too much, too soon?
This week on the MotoMan Podcast, George sits down with EVgo product leader Alex Keros for a candid reality check on electric vehicles, EV charging infrastructure and where the industry goes from here.
Alex has spent years working on alternative-fuel vehicles, from hydrogen at General Motors to today’s public EV charging network. And his view of the electric future is far more nuanced than the usual pro-EV vs. anti-EV debate.
His philosophy? Stop dealing in “hopeful math” and deal with reality.
That means admitting EVs aren’t the right solution for every driver. It also means recognizing where electric cars genuinely offer a better experience—and confronting why public EV charging can still be frustrating, unreliable and unnecessarily complicated.
George and Alex dig into why EV charging still feels like “Windows 3.1,” why Tesla approached charging differently, whether America’s aging power grid can actually support millions more EVs, and why China’s extraordinary pace of battery and charging development should have Western automakers paying attention.
They also explore BYD and megawatt charging, 5–10 minute charging technology, 800-volt and 1,000-volt architectures, solid-state batteries, the future of hydrogen and why learning to fail faster may be one of the most important lessons the American auto industry can take from its global competitors.
This is not an argument for EVs or against them. It’s a conversation about where the technology actually works, where it doesn’t, what the industry got wrong—and what needs to happen next.

He Went From Selling Buses to Running Mercedes | MotoMan Podcast # 030
Season 1 · Episode 30
Wednesday, August 5, 2026 • Duration 37:49
How does a young engineer from the Greek island of Crete go from selling buses to leading Mercedes-Benz in America?
Dimitris Psillakis never mapped out the career that followed. He joined Mercedes-Benz through an international management-trainee program, took responsibility for a small bus division in Greece and then accepted a series of increasingly complex assignments across four continents.
Along the way, he oversaw operations across 29 Latin American countries, helped establish a Mercedes-Benz factory in Brazil, encountered customers armoring everything from C-Classes to Smart cars, navigated the cultural and business challenges of South Korea and ultimately arrived in the United States during the height of the pandemic.
In this episode, Dimitris shares how curiosity, adaptability, discipline and resilience shaped his rise—and why he believes the best careers are built by focusing on the next decision rather than trying to plan the next 20 years.

Can Slate Actually Deliver a $25K Truck?
Season 1 · Episode 29
Wednesday, July 29, 2026 • Duration 29:26
Slate is promising a $25,000 electric truck with no traditional trim levels, no sprawling options list and a radically different approach to personalization. But can that idea survive contact with manufacturing, service and the realities of launching a new car company?
CJ Waelti joins the MotoMan Podcast to explain why the electric powertrain may be the least interesting part of Slate. Drawing on a career that has taken him from Harley-Davidson to Tesla, Rivian and now Slate, CJ lays out how the company is combining old-school mechanical expression with modern manufacturing.
We dig into Slate’s blank-canvas philosophy, the risk that personalization becomes an expensive upsell, its DIY accessory strategy, removable seat covers, swappable body panels, simplified vehicle wraps and the company’s plan to begin delivering trucks in late 2026.
More importantly, CJ answers the question hanging over every automotive startup: Why should anyone believe Slate can actually deliver?

They Called Him Unreliable. Then He Proved Them Wrong | MotoMan Podcast # 028
Season 1 · Episode 28
Wednesday, July 22, 2026 • Duration 01:25:37
Chris Benjamin’s path to the top of automotive design was anything but straightforward.
Long before becoming Chief Design Officer at Scout Motors, Benjamin arrived at design school unable to properly draw a car in three dimensions, learned a painful lesson after being labeled “unreliable,” and eventually landed what looked like a dream job at Mercedes-Benz. There was just one problem: he was so deep in debt that he spent his days designing Mercedes and his nights working a full-time shift at Taco Bell—sometimes surviving on barely three hours of sleep.
That experience helped shape a career that would span Mercedes-Benz, BMW Designworks, Volvo and Stellantis. Benjamin explains how a last-minute design proposal changed his trajectory at Mercedes, how he helped establish the proportions that would define a new generation of Volvos, and how his luxury-car experience influenced the transformation of Jeep interiors in vehicles like the Grand Cherokee and Grand Wagoneer.
Then came an entirely different challenge: bringing Scout back.
Recorded before the new Scout vehicles were revealed, this conversation explores what attracted Benjamin to the dormant American nameplate, what made the original Scout different from Jeep and Bronco, and why he believes reviving an icon requires understanding more than its styling cues.

The Opposite Of A Tesla Is The Next Classic | MotoMan Podcast # 027
Season 1 · Episode 27
Wednesday, July 15, 2026 • Duration 01:00:12
What will car collectors want when today’s roads are filled with electric, autonomous computers on wheels? According to Tommy Mica of TFLcar, the answer may be the exact opposite of a Tesla Model Y.
In this very different MotoMan podcast episode, Tommy makes the case for the strange, tactile and overlooked cars hiding in plain sight. They discuss why analog experiences are returning, what actually makes a car collectible and which affordable cars could be tomorrow’s classics—from Land Rover LR3s and Pontiac Fieros to early Aston Martin V8 Vantages, forgotten Cadillacs, 1990s GM performance cars and manual V8 muscle.
Before they get there, MotoMan reveals how his nearly new Porsche accumulated an astonishing $46,000 in warranty work—including an $11,000 headlight—and Tommy explains the difference between a car being reliable, fixable or simply defended by a very loyal owner.
They also get into subscription fatigue, modern-car complexity, the psychology behind collector values, Tommy’s unusual personal fleet and the lessons that helped TFL grow into one of YouTube’s largest automotive brands.
Which overlooked car do you believe will become the next major collectible?

The Jeff Bezos Startup Doing Less On Purpose | MotoMan Podcast # 026
Season 1 · Episode 26
Wednesday, July 8, 2026 • Duration 01:03:33
Slate Auto has been described as a Jeff Bezos-backed EV startup building a $25,000 electric truck — but that is only part of the story.
In this episode of the MotoMan Podcast, we sit down with Rod Copes, Slate Auto board director and employee number one, to discuss the real strategy behind Slate: radical simplicity, American manufacturing, affordability, and avoiding the mistakes that crushed so many EV startups.
Rod explains what he learned from Harley-Davidson, Royal Enfield, and Rivian, including what “production hell” really means and why Slate is deliberately doing less on purpose. The conversation goes deep into the $24,950 price promise, why Slate chose a two-door pickup layout, how the company plans to build in Indiana, and why the future of affordable transportation may depend on bringing manufacturing back to the United States.
This is not just a conversation about a cheap EV truck. It is a conversation about whether America can still build things people can actually afford.

He Failed Engineering. Then Ran Nissan Design | MotoMan Podcast # 025
Season 1 · Episode 25
Wednesday, July 1, 2026 • Duration 53:19
Most car designers are supposed to follow a path.
Alfonso Albaisa did not.
Before he became the global design leader behind Nissan’s future, he was a Cuban-American kid in Miami who did not learn English until he was six or seven, dressed like Napoleon, drew in a closet, nearly failed engineering with a 0.5 GPA, and found his way through art, architecture, balsa wood boats, New York, Detroit, and one unforgettable Jaguar E-Type.
In this episode of the MotoMan Podcast, Alfonso Albaisa joins MotoMan for a deeply personal conversation about the unlikely road that took him from South Florida to the top of Nissan design.
This is not just a story about cars. It is a story about exile, family, failure, obsession, creative purpose, and why the car industry keeps falling into the trap of copying whatever looks cool.
Alfonso shares how his father’s architecture studio shaped the way he saw the world, why his mother quietly redirected his life, how a Jaguar E-Type changed everything, why Detroit nearly broke him and how Nissan found him in New York
This is the story of an outsider who did not fit the system — and then helped shape one of the most important Japanese car brands in the world.

Why Designing Motorcycles Is Harder Than Cars | MotoMan Podcast # 024
Season 1 · Episode 24
Wednesday, June 24, 2026 • Duration 49:47
Greg Tada left software development to chase something far more personal: motorcycles.
In this episode of the MotoMan Podcast, Greg joins MotoMan at ArtCenter to tell the story of how he went from working in tech to designing motorcycles for some of the most important brands in the industry, including Kawasaki, Indian Motorcycle, Piaggio, Aprilia, and Moto Guzzi.
This conversation covers the moment motorcycles took over Greg’s life, why motorcycle design is different from car design, what it took to help relaunch Indian Motorcycle, why brand heritage matters, and why some mechanical details should never be cut — even when the accountants would love to remove them.
They also get into ArtCenter, the brutal hours behind creative work, designing across cultures, why bike studios can feel like startups, and what it means to be a true guardian of a brand.
