Five years ago, I was paying $65 a month for my subscriptions.
00:04
Today, those same subscriptions cost $111, and I don't even use half of them anymore.
00:09
That's why now, I use RocketMoney to manage my subscriptions for me.
00:12
The app gives you a list of all your subscriptions and reminds you of upcoming payments so you're
00:17
not hit with any surprise charges.
00:19
On top of that, it also sends you alerts when subscription prices go up,
00:22
so you always know the price you're paying.
00:24
If you decide you no longer want a subscription, you can cancel it right from the app.
00:28
No customer service needed.
00:30
And the best part is, RocketMoney even reaches out and tries to get you refunded for some of
00:35
the money you lost.
00:36
On average, people that cancel their subscriptions with RocketMoney save $378 a year.
00:41
And overall, RocketMoney has saved its members $880 million in canceled subscriptions.
00:59

03:03
Audi are channeling the TT.
03:05
They're not resurrecting the TT, I'll be clear.
03:08
The Audi Concept C does, though, channel the design of the TT.
03:14
It's a two-seater sports car.
03:16
The batteries are mounted midships like a mid-engine for balance.
03:20
Same fundamental, same platform as the Porsche Electric 718,
03:25
They say that this will be made in 2027.
03:27
And it's the first car previewing Audi's new design language.
03:30
This thing looks stellar, by the way.
03:32
LG are gonna supply Mercedes-Benz.
03:35
Future electric vehicles, new $10 billion deal,
03:38
which takes them through to 2037 for sell supply
03:42
of Mercedes-Benz in Europe and North America.
03:44
Volvo's EX60 gets a date for the diary.
03:47
EX60 is the electric XC60.
03:49
21st of January, if you're interested.
03:52
They'll unveil it in Stockholm.
03:53
This is important, not just because the XC60 is a big seller,
03:56
because the XC60 is the biggest-selling Volvo,
03:59
not just now, of all time, of all Volvo.
04:02
And going electric, it has to be good.
04:05
They're targeting 435 miles of range or 700 kilometers
04:10
Not a geely-shared thing, like one of the EX30
04:15
They've had software issues that needed tweaking
04:17
after they were first released.
04:18
Volvo say this is 100% Volvo,
04:21
or if they're saying that because they've had some pushback
04:24
they're worried about.
04:25
Things like Chinese-shared platform influence
04:29
the kind of core Volvo buyer, I wonder.
04:32
Volkswagen is going back to names.
04:34
Hallelujah, we've talked about it for years on the podcast.
04:37
They used to have e-golfs and e-ups,
04:39
and it was brilliant because Volkswagen
04:40
has some of the best names in the business.
04:43
And they threw it all away by having ID ones
04:46
and ID twos and ID threes, and so the ID to all
04:50
is being renamed to the Polo, which is brilliant.
04:52
I think that's still called the ID Polo
04:54
because big companies can never admit they were wrong,
04:56
so they're going to keep the ID branding floating around.
05:00
I say, be big, be bold.
05:02
Just call it the Polo,
05:03
and it happens to have batteries or an engine.
05:06
But hey, that's why I'm not the CEO of Volkswagen, am I?
05:10
That's what I would do, they're amazing names,
05:13
but they're going to do that with all their future EVs.
05:15
ID Golf, ID Passat, ID Tiguan, that makes a lot, a lot of sense.
05:19
Norway EVs, in August, what's the number?
05:22
It's big, it's 97% pure Bev.
05:25
I mean, we can just stop reporting the Norway numbers
05:29
No, I love doing it, but they're basically there
05:31
because that's not even with plug-in hybrids included as well.
05:34
That's 97% of the new car market pure Bev.
05:38
Number one seller, by the way, Tesla Model Y,
05:40
and boy, did Tesla need some good news at the minute.
05:43
They'll take that win all day.
05:45
Ford are going to make a plug-in hybrid version of the Ranger MSRT.
05:49
MS means Moat M Sport.
05:51
M Sport is the rally bit, their partner of Ford,
05:55
and RT means road technology, so MSRT, Ford Ranger,
05:59
plug-in hybrid, a teeny-weeny battery, though,
06:02
12 kilowatt hours, 40 miles of electric range.
06:06
The new Chevy Bolt interior has been spied.
06:09
I mean, this is just a big old refresh
06:11
like you would expect a modern GM to look,
06:14
like an equinox, really?
06:16
So some of the bug bears of the earlier Bolts,
06:18
all gone, and a modern GM look inside.
06:22
The Spy photographer also got the display
06:25
showing 194 miles of range at 100%.
06:29
This has got to be a test vehicle, though.
06:30
They are definitely going to ship that vehicle
06:31
with more than that range.
06:33
They have to, it's so much less
06:34
than the old outgoing Bolt.
06:36
Tesla shares their new Master Plan 4
06:38
with a very high-level thinking
06:40
of where they want Tesla to go as a sustainable company.
06:43
Toyota will build a factory in Europe
06:45
to make their first Europe-targeted purebev.
06:48
It's going to be made in the Czech Republic.
06:50
And congratulations to Skoda,
06:52
the next company that gets the UK government grant money.
06:56
Eligible trims, nearly all of them
06:57
of the little Skoda L-Rock get the money.
