00:03
She loves shopping.
00:04
And this is the sound of fashion overload.
00:08
Too many fabulous things, not enough space.
00:10
So Christine started selling with The RealReal.
00:12
I've always loved collecting designer pieces.
00:15
Gucci bags, Prada heels.
00:17

I didn't even realize I was wasting $415 a month
01:03
until I downloaded Rocket Money.
01:05
I thought I had my finances under control
01:07
until the app laid out all my spending
01:09
and categorized it for me.
01:11
Takeout, shopping, and unused subscriptions
01:13
were quietly draining my account.
01:15
And as a result, my savings took a back seat.
01:18
But Rocket Money doesn't just tell you
01:20
what you're wasting money on.
01:21
It takes action to save you money.
01:23
First, the app looks at your income and monthly expenses
01:27
and calculates how much you can safely spend
01:29
each day to stay on your budget.
01:30
Rocket Money also finds and cancels
01:33
unwanted subscriptions for you
01:34
and even negotiates better rates on your bills
01:36
so you have more money in your pocket.
01:38
On average, Rocket Money members can save up to $740 a year
01:42
when using all the app's premium features.
01:44
Users love the app with over 186,000 five-star ratings.

The number one resolution for people last year
02:02
was to save more money,
02:03
but nearly half gave up by February.
02:06
Don't let that be you.
02:07
Download Rocket Money to reach your financial goals this year.
02:10
Track your spending, cut waste,
02:12
and automate savings in one simple app.
02:15
Rocket Money shows you all your expenses
02:17
and categorizes them so you know exactly
02:19
where your money's going and where you're overspending.
02:21
From there, the app cuts waste
02:23
by canceling your unused subscriptions
02:25
and lowering your bills.
02:26
No customer service needed.
02:28
With that money freed up,
02:29
the app will automatically set some cash aside
02:32
whether it's an emergency fund, paying off debt,
02:35
or saving for vacation.
02:37

The Leap Motor B10 will begin its global rollout.
03:45
It's gonna be shown off
03:46
for the IAA Mobility Show in Munich on September the 8th.
03:48
Then European deliveries will begin.
03:50
They say they have built a vehicle
03:52
that sets global standards,
03:54
but it's optimized locally tuned
03:57
if you like to the likes of European drivers.
03:59
Tesla's Model S could be coming back to Europe.
04:02
It was previously removed from the design studio in Tesla,
04:05
but new filings show in Europe
04:08
that the Model S could come back
04:10
because the updated version in the United States
04:12
with the Luxe package is showing up over here.
04:15
So that could well be making a return.
04:18
Mercedes-Benz have invented a new concept car, the GT double X,
04:22
and took it on a bunch of record-setting runs.
04:26
The most impressive one is probably
04:28
the 24-hour driving record.
04:30
17 drivers took turns.
04:32
They did about 184 miles an hour,
04:34
186 miles an hour average speed,
04:36
and it recharges at 850 kilowatts.
04:41
They did two and a half,
04:43
so three and a half thousand miles in a 24-hour period
04:48
with all of that high-speed running
04:50
and then very fast DC fast charging.
04:52
Great news from our US listeners,
04:53
the IRS announced that you can still get
04:56
the federal tax credit past September 30th
05:00
if you have a binding contract
05:02
and have both paid a deposit.
05:04
Not kind of one of those refundable deposits
05:06
of, oh, I get my money back,
05:07
but you will buy this car,
05:09
but it's not quite in your driveway yet.
05:12
If you were panicking to try and get hold of a vehicle
05:14
by September 30th and get the new or used tax credit
05:19
MG says they plan 13 new electric vehicles
05:23

05:32
The Chinese EV market was growing slowly
05:34
for plug-in hybrids in July.
05:35
Bev's on a rip right now,
05:37
but the Chinese falling slightly out of love
05:39
with plug-in hybrids last month
05:42
will watch that trend.
05:43
Geely's Galaxy M9 is their big six seater family SUV.
05:49
This is the same size as a Mercedes-Benz GLS
05:51
if you need a reference point,
05:54
but it starts at $27,000 equivalent
05:56
and it got 40,000 orders
05:59
in its first 24 hours on sale yesterday,
06:03
full of tech like LiDAR and all that kind of stuff.
06:06
Now, Hyundai, Kia and the Korean battery firms
06:09
are getting together to expand things
06:11
like safety collaboration and other initiatives as well.
06:15
Fighting back against the Chinese dominance,
06:17
I guess you could say.
06:18
Voltfang launches Europe's largest used battery storage site
06:24
at their facility in Arkham.
06:26
Production started in April
06:28
in the form of building of a bankrupt EV maker.
06:31
The factory reuses batteries from EVs
06:33
and extra batteries from Europe's industry.
06:35
Italy has fined NLX for EV charging market abuse.
06:40
The antitrust authority finding NLX
06:43
and their subsidiary NLX way, Italia,
06:45
2.3 million euros for what they say
06:49
was an abuse of their dominant position
06:51
in the EV charging infrastructure market.
06:53
NLX say they accept the regulator's decision
06:56
but disagree with its findings.
07:00
How does that work?
07:01
So they both agree and disagree.
07:02
They're gonna appeal it and say,
07:04
we did nothing wrong even though we accept it.
07:07
We're completely innocent and we will be appealing.
07:10
The Toyota CHR is an all-electric compact SUV
07:13
coming to Europe and the US.
07:15
Smaller than a BZ-4X.
07:17
It's gonna come with a 74.7 kilowatt hour battery
07:20
been spotted filming their new TV commercial
07:23
looking pretty good actually
07:25
and China has launched a new heavy truck charging hub
07:30
with 18 superchargers that charge at 1.44 megawatts
07:34
each and another 108 charges at just 600 kilowatts
07:38
and that's briefly.
07:40
Five years ago, I was paying $65 a month for my subscriptions.
07:47
Today, those same subscriptions cost $111
07:50
and I don't even use half of them anymore.
07:52
That's why now I use rocket money
07:54
to manage my subscriptions for me.
07:56
The app gives you a list of all of your subscriptions
07:58
and reminds you of upcoming payments
08:00
so you're not hit with any surprise charges.
08:02
On top of that, it also sends you alerts
08:04
when subscription prices go up
08:06
so you always know the price you're paying.
08:08
If you decide you no longer want a subscription,
08:10
you can cancel it right from the app.
08:12
No customer service needed
08:14
and the best part is Rocket Money even reaches out
08:17
and tries to get you refunded
08:18
for some of the money you lost.
08:20
On average, people that cancel their subscriptions
08:22
with Rocket Money save $378 a year
08:26
and overall Rocket Money has saved its members
08:28
$880 million in canceled subscriptions.

I don't know about you
08:44
but when I'm using AI for my business,

08:50
I just need help making it happen.
08:53
With Wix, I finally have an AI tool
08:55
that gets things done the way I want.

09:04
plan my next marking campaign, or help out my customers.
