Five years ago, I was paying $65 a month for my subscriptions.
00:03
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 of your subscriptions and reminds you of upcoming payments,
00:17
so you're not hit with any surprise charges.
00:19
On top of that, it also sends you alerts when subscription prices go up,
00:23
so you always know the price you're paying.
00:25
If you decide you no longer want a subscription, you can cancel it right from the app.
00:29
No customer service needed.
00:31
And the best part is, RocketMoney even reaches out
00:34
and tries to get you refunded for some of the money you lost.
00:37
On average, people that cancel their subscriptions with RocketMoney save $378 a year.
00:43
And overall, RocketMoney has saved its members $880 million in canceled subscriptions.

Start with news of Magna, confirming they will build Chinese GACs in Austria.
03:10
And enough of the production.
03:11
Every knockdown kit, semi-knockdown kits,
03:13
just enough local production will happen to mean
03:16
that they're not officially counted as Chinese made
03:18
and will avoid the tariffs.
03:20
There's the Ion V or AION V.
03:24
That's going to be 323 miles on WLTP.
03:27
That's about 40,000 euro plus or minus car.
03:31
And then there's the UT, which is a compact car.
03:33
BYD have confirmed they will launch Denza in the UK.
03:37
That's their premium brand.
03:38
And Yang Wang in two years time,
03:40
which is their premium, premium brand, according to Stella Lee,
03:43
BYD's vice chairman and European chief.
03:47
VW's urban electric car powertrain has been,
03:51
the details have been divulged.
03:52
I saw this on insidivis.de, the German version of insidivis,
03:56
talking about how they have the new little cars,
04:00
so the ID, the Polo, the Epic from Skoda,
04:03
and the Rafale from Cupra will use the new APP290.
04:06
APP stands for the Parallel Axis Permanent Magnet Motor,
04:10
at 290 Newton meters of torque.
04:12
Pretty German way of calling a motor.
04:14
The APP290, in-house developed inverter,
04:18
silicon carbide semiconductors for more efficiency.
04:21
Volkswagen pushing back against the Chinese EVs
04:24
at the show yesterday in Munich, saying,
04:27
we will do all we can and protect our lead by all means.
04:32
VW also saying that those small vehicles,
04:36
those three small vehicles will be made in Spain.
04:38
Two plants, they have in Spain,
04:40
they've got the Marterelle plant, the Pamplona plant,
04:42
and between them they'll make the Polo, the Rafale,
04:44
the ID Cross, which we have mentioned a lot recently,
04:47
that was revealed, and the Skoda Epic.
04:49
The EU also talking about the Chinese cars,
04:52
a really interesting quote from the EU Commission,
04:54
President Slovon the Lion,
04:56
saying yesterday to the European Parliament,
04:58
I quote, millions of Europeans want to buy
05:00
affordable European cars.
05:02
We will not let China and others conquer the market.
05:05
And quote, wow, that's about as clear as it gets.
05:07
Europe is doing all it can to protect its small car market
05:11
from cheaper Chinese cars.
05:13
BYD will build the Dolphin Surf in Hungary,
05:17
confirming the new factory in Hungary.
05:19
We'll open in the coming months,
05:20
and that they are ahead of schedule
05:22
to make the Dolphin Surf, as it'll be called here.
05:25
It'll be the first vehicle manufactured
05:27
at the facility for Europe.
05:29
BYD also confirming that they're flash charging,
05:31
which is their megawatt charging,
05:33
thousand kilowatts, they call it flash charging,
05:36
Going to use the CCS2 connector,
05:38
and then only use one cable,
05:40
because in China you've got to plug the park
05:42
between two charging bays,
05:44
and the charging ports are above the rear wheels,
05:46
a bit like an old dual fuel tank,
05:49
and plug both in at the same time.
05:51
No, they'll use one cable over here,
05:53
thousand kilowatts,
05:54
thousand volt platform on the Tang and the Han, I think.
05:58
Lucid's Gravity is now in production for European buyers.
06:02
The first ones will be delivered early January,
06:04
I think, but they're rolling off the production line now,
06:05
and then they'll be stuck on the boats, I guess.
06:08
Going to sell those in Germany, Switzerland,
06:10
Norway, Netherlands.
06:12
Lucid is looking at making right-hand drive versions
06:15
of the Gravity, not confirmed,
06:17
according to the interim CEO Mark Winterhoff,
06:19
saying the UK is an interesting market for Lucid.
06:23
Of course, not just the UK,
06:24
it would be Australia and Japan and Singapore.
06:28
However, more likely would be their new 50,000
06:32
that would be more likely to be converted.
06:34
The investment it takes to make it right-hand drive,
06:36
Rivian is going to shut down the normal plant
06:38
for three weeks from Monday.
06:40
All the retooling is being done for the R2.
06:42
It's getting so real for us.
06:44
I mean, it's been real for Rivian forever,
06:45
but for the rest of us,
06:47
they're going to shut down the plant and retool it.
06:50
And BMW is using the MetaQuest 3 Augmented Reality
