Spoiler alert. Found: one “Easter Egg” on the Dodge Charger EV. Inside the lift gate. There are more, someplace.

At the beginning of the year US car sales were expected to reach 16.3 million units, but since Trump enacted tariffs @SPGlobal forecasts that they'll drop by 700K units to 15.6 million: youtube.com/watch?v=b7ozzI… Thanks to our great sponsor @IntrepidControl

There’s an app that helps first responders find the “cable cut” spots on EVS in case of an accident. But to help them find it faster, #Dodge added these fireman’s hat icons in the trunk and under the hood of the Charger EV. Such a simple but effective visual aid.

You gotta love the detail that #VW went into on the exhaust tips of the #Golf R. Someone spent a lot of time on this. Gives it an afterburner look. Or maybe an ion thruster. The psychological benefit alone has got to be worth 5 seconds at the ‘Ring.

A division of @VWGroup called #moia is going to start selling turnkey robotaxis to customers in the US & Europe next year: youtube.com/watch?v=ZUbCeg… BIG THANKS to @IntrepidControl @TEIJINAUTO & @Bridgestone for sponsoring our show!
