It is Tuesday, Friend!
If you had any last-minute Thanksgiving shopping to do, today is the last semi-safe day to do it. Tomorrow, the shops will be filled with people trying to find that last can of cranberry sauce.
Reminders like these are just one of the ways we love to keep you ahead of the crowd. Which reminds us, have you signed up for ASOTUCON.com yet? It’s a list you’ll want to be on before Friday. 😉

Lawsuits, retirements, comebacks, and hybrid hype are colliding in a flurry of EV sparks and industry belt-tightening.
Tesla and Rivian are settling their legal brawl, but the rivalry keeps buzzing like an overworked charging station.

Toyota teases the Celica’s return, sending fans into a retro-fueled frenzy. And speaking of icons, Mercedes-Benz’s E-Class scooped MotorTrend’s Car of the Year.
Finally, after years of freewheeling spending on EVs and self-driving tech, automakers are entering cost-cutting rehab. Partnerships, layoffs, and efficiency are the buzzwords—because nobody likes burning billions without results.
