I didn't even realize I was wasting $415 a month
00:18
until I downloaded Rocky Money.
00:20
I thought I had my finances under control
00:22
until the app laid out all my spending and categorized it for me.
00:26
Takeout, shopping, and unused subscriptions
00:28
were quietly draining my account.
00:31
And as a result, my savings took a backseat.
00:33
But Rocky Money doesn't just tell you
00:35
what you're wasting money on.
00:36
It takes action to save you money.
00:39
First, the app looks at your income and monthly expenses
00:42
and calculates how much you can safely spend
00:44
each day to stay under budget.
00:46
Rocky Money also finds and cancels
00:48
unwanted subscriptions for you
00:49
and even negotiates better rates on your bills
00:52
so you have more money in your pocket.
00:53
On average, Rocky Money members
00:55
can save up to $740 a year
00:57
when using all the app's premium features.
00:59
Users love the app with over 186,000 five-star ratings.

Tesla is still really struggling in Europe
02:46
Now these are July's numbers
02:48
and we're gonna get a lot of August stuff coming in.
02:50
But now everything's in the books.
02:51
July was another really bad one
02:53
between 30 and 40% depending on which area
02:57
of the region you look at.
03:00
Losing out to BYD of all companies
03:03
who had 13 and a half thousand vehicles sold in July
03:07
in the European region,
03:09
including the UK and the free trade zone.
03:11
And so that's 200% up for BYD
03:14
whilst Tesla down by almost half.
03:17
Looking forward to seeing what they are gonna do
03:20
to juice those sales in the second half of the year.
03:22
One of those things is gonna be
03:23
the Model Y performance.
03:25
Now confirmed by the way,
03:27
for Europe and the Middle East to begin with at least.
03:30
Dual motor, all-wheel drive, 460 horsepower,
03:36
Tesla's always gone quick in a straight line
03:38
but going around the bends,
03:40
well they say, yeah, we fixed that.
03:41
We're working on it.
03:42
Model Y now gets the Model 3's adaptive dampers.
03:47
Calibrated though for the Model Y 21 inch alloys
03:50
and a bigger screen inside.
03:53
16 inch screen, the highest resolution panel
03:55
they've put in the car.
03:57
This made in the facility in Brandenburg near Berlin.
04:01
Tesla has launched Full Self Driving Supervised
04:04
in Australia and New Zealand.
04:07
Entering right hand drive markets for the very first time.
04:10
The regulatory approval was happening a few weeks ago.
04:13
Now they were talking about it
04:15
and so looks like that's finally entering
04:17
the market down under.
04:19
Initial reviews from the automotive press
04:21
who were lined up to have a go in it
04:24
have been largely positive.
04:25
General Motors is temporarily lying off 360 workers
04:30
to the lines that make the Hummer
04:32
and the Cadillac Escalade IQ in Detroit.
04:35
Doesn't affect Silverado and Sierra EVs.
04:39
SAIC's MG has launched the all new MG4
04:43
including one of the trims with the semi-solid state battery.
04:47
This vehicle starts at $9,500 equivalent in China.
04:51
They've restyled it as well from the very popular MG4
04:55
that we have over here.
04:56
12 Ultra Sonics, four 360 degree surround view cameras,
05:01
eight megapixel front camera,
05:03
and even a rear camera as well for loads of autonomy.
05:07
In the UK they've closed a bit of a loophole
05:10
which was open with the new Grant scheme.
05:11
You see, as long as you've got one of your cars,
05:13
if you're a car maker, on the market for 37,000 pounds,
05:16
as long as the battery was the same,
05:18
then you could have higher trims, well over 37,
05:22
and still get the new government grant for all of them.
05:26
Well they've closed that loophole,
05:27
they've capped it at 42,000 pounds.
05:29
That affects vehicles like the Aria
05:31
because the top trim was 44 and a half
05:33
still getting the discount it won't now.
05:36
The European truck and bus manufacturers
05:39
are moving zero emission.
05:41
The CarMake Association over here saying at least 45
05:44
zero emission truck models are now available
05:47
and 20 zero emission bus models available.

06:18
