Five years ago, I was paying $65 a month for my subscriptions.
01:05
Today, those same subscriptions cost $111, and I don't even use half of them anymore.
01:10
That's why now I use RocketMoney to manage my subscriptions for me.
01:14
The app gives you a list of all of your subscriptions and reminds you of upcoming payments,
01:18
so you're not hit with any surprise charges.
01:20
On top of that, it also sends you alerts when subscription prices go up,
01:24
so you always know the price you're paying.
01:26
If you decide you no longer want a subscription, you can cancel it right from the app.
01:30
No customer service needed.
01:32
And the best part is, RocketMoney even reaches out
01:35
and tries to get you refunded for some of the money you lost.
01:38
On average, people that cancel their subscriptions with RocketMoney save $378 a year.
01:44
And overall, RocketMoney has saved its members $880 million in canceled subscriptions.
01:50
Stop wasting money on things you don't use.
01:53
Go to rocketmoney.com slash cancel to get started.
01:56
That's rocketmoney.com slash cancel.

Kia will make the EV2 at its plant in Europe in Slovakia, starting in February.
04:25
Told you this week that the EV4 hatchback version started on August 20th.
04:30
Now, confirmation the EV2 will also be made over here in Europe.
04:35
European plug-in sales surged in July, doing really well.
04:40
The Chinese makers in Europe were strong, but growing more slowly.
04:44
Cherry was up and BYD was up, though.
04:45
Tesla was down 37%.
04:48
I'm sure they'd love to see a turnaround in their business
04:50
in the second half of the year.
04:51
Volkswagen Group leading the Euro market up 12%.
04:55
Tesla's six-seat Model Y L may not come to the US for a while.
05:01
And if ever, the CEO taking to Twitter to say the Model Y variant wouldn't be
05:06
produced in the US until next year, if at all, because self-driving technology
05:11
makes it obsolete, but didn't explain how self-driving technology means
05:14
that somebody wouldn't want to buy the six-seat version of the Model Y
05:18
in the United States.
05:19
I think that's a really, really good form factor.
05:21
Longer wheelbase on that vehicle.
05:23
It's physically longer by a foot with a proper third row.
05:26
Not quite a Model X, but the Model Y L, I think,
05:28
would sell really well in Europe and the US.
05:30
Tesla faces a federal audit over a delay in their crash reports.
05:36
The NHTSA now investigating Tesla
05:39
into why they're taking so long to do what they have to do with him.
05:42
I think it's one to five days they're meant to deliver a report
05:45
where their self-driving technology is involved.
05:48
This is taking months at a time.
05:50
Tesla say it's a data collection issue.
05:53
Tesla's facing a class-action lawsuit.
05:54
A judge this week, US District Judge Rita Lin,
05:57
giving the go-ahead for a class-action lawsuit.
06:00
Those claim that the CEO made for eight years claims
06:05
about the self-driving technology at Tesla,
06:08
which, let's say, rather overregged the pudding,
06:11
suggesting it could do more than it can,
06:13
and also that cars on sale since October 2016
06:16
had all the hardware needed for full self-driving technology.
06:21
Mercedes is going to bring forward
06:23
the launch of their E-Class successor, the EQE sedan.
06:28
It's going to come in 2027 on a new platform,
06:31
and it's following next year's refresh to the EQE.
06:35
To make it a little bit more,
06:36
a little more E-Class-like,
06:38
which is what the buyers of those vehicles
06:40
really want a three-box sedan.
06:43
China's oldest car maker, FAW,
06:45
is getting 10% of the Leap motor

06:50
are going to be supporting startups.

NIO confirming that they are upping the stakes
07:55
in terms of their legal action against people

that defames brands like NIO and Envo,
08:01
of course, whether you say something
08:03
in a newspaper, a television station, a podcast
08:06
or your Twitter account, it's still publishing
08:09
and you can still get in trouble if you lie.
