00:00
I didn't even realize I was wasting $415 a month
00:03
until I downloaded Rocky Money.
00:05
I thought I had my finances under control
00:07
until the app laid out all my spending and categorized it for me.
00:11
Takeout, shopping, and unused subscriptions
00:13
were quietly draining my account.
00:15
And as a result, my savings took a backseat.
00:18
But Rocky Money doesn't just tell you
00:20
what you're wasting money on.
00:21
It takes action to save you money.
00:23
First, the app looks at your income and monthly expenses
00:26
and calculates how much you can safely spend each day
00:29
to stay on your budget.
00:30
Rocky Money also finds and cancels
00:32
unwanted subscriptions for you
00:34
and even negotiates better rates on your bills
00:36
so you have more money in your pocket.
00:38
On average, Rocky Money members
00:40
can save up to $740 a year
00:42
when using all the app's premium features.
00:44
Users love the app with over 186,000 five-star ratings.
00:48
It's time to simplify your finances
00:50
and take control of your money.

The Tesla Model YL has debuted.
01:48
and so this is a two captain's chairs
01:51
in the second row electronically folding armrests.
01:55
They've got a lot more ventilation in the vehicle.
01:58
Looks like adjustable headrests
02:00
and larger side supports in the front as well.
02:02
The second row captain's chairs are shown folding flat
02:04
in the video that Tesla posted
02:06
on the social media network Weibo.
02:08
And alongside all of that new black headliner as well.
02:11
It's around 47,000 US equivalent
02:14
only for China at the moment though
02:16
but will that vehicle come outside of China?
02:18
I would say almost certainly yes.
02:20
I think both Europe and North America
02:21
have a really big desire for a proper three row,
02:26
It's six inches longer, 15 centimeters physically longer
02:29
than the existing Model Y
02:30
and that all goes into making that rear usable.
02:35
The previous rear seats in the Model Y
02:36
really only good for people without legs.
02:40
Korea's EV sales are surging amidst new model releases
02:44
last month, 25,000 new EVs registered in Korea.
02:48
A new record, London plans to start charging EVs
02:53
from December the 25th, Merry Christmas.
02:56
The discount, the exemption I should say
02:59
from the current congestion charge is going
03:01
and EV drivers only get a 25% discount
03:03
for driving into London from next year.
03:06
Tesla is lowering the Model 3 long range,
03:10
EPA range for some reason.
03:11
Have they changed the battery, the hardware,
03:14
Not that we know but either way,
03:15
six miles or nine kilometers have rather unfortunately
03:19
been lost down the back of the sofa somewhere.
03:21
Just the official EPA listed range
03:24
going down on the long range rear wheel drive version.
03:27
If you know why, I'd love to know.
03:29
Tesla is launching a new tire
03:30
and wheel protection subscription.
03:32
Prices start from $12 a month
03:34
and of course, if you are prone to getting tire damage
03:40
this is unlimited tire repairs from daily road hazards.
03:44
If the wheel or tire needs replacing,
03:45
you pay a deductible of $25
03:48
covering all the tires on the vehicle.
03:49
Tesla is denying remotely disabling a Cybertruck,
03:52
a viral video show someone apparently stuck on a highway
03:56
with the Cybertruck deactivated
03:58
because Tesla had it in for him.
04:00
Clearly a fake video but it's gone far and wide
04:02
and done I would say some reputational damage to Tesla.
04:05
That's in China would most certainly be a court case.
04:09
Chinese car companies are really aggressively taking on
04:13
people on social media influencers
04:16
who do any kind of brand reputational damage.
04:19
And certainly the musician Big Huey,
04:22
you can argue has probably done that to Tesla.
04:24
Wouldn't want to be him right now.
04:25
The video is indeed not real.
04:28
Western Europe sees record above registrations
04:31
nearly 600,000 pure BEVs in April to June.
04:34
What a great quarter Q2 was largely thanks
04:36
to newer smaller cheaper vehicles on the market.
04:40
The new assembly method that's key to Ford
04:42
and the $30,000 mid-sized truck that's coming in 2027.
04:47
The chief EV officer there, Doug Field,
04:49
says that not many legacy car makers
04:51
could pull off a project like this
04:52
and startups can't do it
04:53
because they haven't got the strength in debt
04:55
that Ford engineering can do.
04:58
The UK government will fund the plug-in van grant
05:00
and the truck grant for another year
05:02
up to 25,000 pounds of large trucks.
05:07
That's until April 2026.
05:09
Amsterdam will launch a public e-bike
05:11
battery charging network.
05:13
Plenty of public charges for EV cars there,
05:15
but what about EV bikes?
05:17
Well, that's coming.
05:18
During the third round of the BMW Championship Golf,
05:22
a hole in one on the 17th hole scored,
05:25
actually, a brand new BMW iXM70.
05:30
Not bad for scoring a hole in one
05:33
and used Teslas in Australia surpassed new Teslas
05:38
in Australia with more Model 3s sold, and that's briefly.
