It's even used briefly for Thursday October 2nd. Everything EV in less than five minutes. If you haven't got time for the full podcast, let's get you up to speed.
Porsche's Cayenne has been previewed. They full look at the interior. It looks really nice by the way. These screens are again custom design, not just a big, basically an Android tablet plunked on the front of a dash, but the screens, custom shape, worked into the dashboard. A third passenger screen as well, very popular in China. That feature for people who sit up front, but want to watch their own.
Screen, lots of physical buttons, looking like premium metal rollers for things like the volume controls and heating looks really nice by the way. Cayenne looking stunning already.
Genesis TV 60 magma looks fully baked. We'll get full reveal by the end of the year, but a new official spy shop. The car covered in camouflage, but it's an official photo released to the media shows the magma looks pretty dumb. Big old rare spoiler on this thing though.
South Korea is looking at following the EU with a 2035 combustion ban on pure petrol and diesel cars, but looking the next 10 years, everything's going to have some sort of battery, isn't it?
So, yeah, put a date in the diary. I think you'll do it before then, but I guess you've got to do it. The Chevy Bolt EV has been spotted, so called spotted. Yeah, look, cars that have been developed. Don't just turn up at a Tesla Supercharger without the camouflage on.
Where they just happens to be, I don't know, a blogger or an influencer from your favorite publication, ready to take that. Oh my gosh, photographs. So, yeah, call me cynical, but still that just tells me that they're now working on that, the kind of marketing campaigns, which part of which is spy shots without the camouflage.
Yeah, it was, it was intentionally it's a Tesla Supercharger looking very bolts EUV. Look, that's it's a good style. I mean updated front rear for GM's current design language, but otherwise great format vehicle, new bolt coming, going to be just a, you know, really lovely complimentary addition to their segment mix below the equinox.
That's just, it looks like a great vehicle already. Now, Hyundai's Arnick 9 is getting an XRT version. So, that is, you know, the nobly tires, the raised suspension, the extra bodywork all around it. That's their big three row vehicle, getting an XRT trim.
Leap motors B10 is their smaller compact SUV. So, the C10 is the big family SUV. That's about 32 grand here or so. And then the T3 is the little city car. That's 12 or 13 grand here. Well, the B10 is coming to Australia at 39,000 dollars. That's 20,000 pounds sterling for me, about 25,000 US.
And, you know, it's got a big battery. Charge is pretty rapidly, 100 something kilowatts DC. That's a very competitive price by Leap motor. Alpine are going rallying in the 8,290. That's their version of the Renault 5, by the way.
Setting up their own rally competition for teams to take part and there's some prize money attached to it as well. Germany's high court has sent the diesel gate saga back to the lower court. This thing continues to ramble on. Essentially, it's an insurance company story.
It's all to do with the money that's meant to be paid by the former CFO and board member, not enough transparency around their own personal financial situation.
So, it's been handed back down. This big diesel gate thing, 10 years. Last week was the 10th anniversary. It still rumbles on. Let's just go EV and put it behind us.
We've now got clarification on whether we'll ever see the cyber truck over here. I think service personnel in Germany wanted to import the cyber truck and so they actually had to officially say does it pass our pedestrian safety and vulnerable road user and cyclist tests based on its design of sharp angles and spikes.
And Germany said no, because it's Germany said no, it doesn't comply with the rules effectively. It's an EU-wide decision.
Tesla, I'm sure, would love to bring the cyber truck over here and make a big new market in 15 states so that they will have their own local incentives to combat the loss of federal tax incentives. That's briefly.
The holidays are expensive. You're paying for gifts, travel, decorations, food, and before you know it, you've blown way past what you were planning to spend.
Don't start the new year off with bad money vibes. Download rocket money to stay on top of your finances. The app pulls your income, expenses, and upcoming charges into one place so you can get the clearest picture of your money.
It shows how much to set aside for bills and how much is safe to spend for the month so you can spend with confidence.
No guesswork needed. Get alerts before bills hit, track budgets, and see every subscription you're paying for.
Rocket money also finds extra ways to save you money by canceling subscriptions you're not using and negotiating lower bills for you.
On average, rocket money users can save up to $740 a year when using all the app's premium features. Start the year off right by taking control of your finances.
