🔨 Breaking Down Today’s News

giphy

Today’s digest has something for everybody. That is, if everybody likes Production Pauses, Direct Sales Drama, and EV Backpedals…

Stellantis is hitting the brakes on production, mostly because nobody wants a Jeep with a dust-collection problem.

Meanwhile, Scout Motors is making dealers sweat with its "we don’t need you" direct-to-consumer play.

Porsche? Apparently, they’re back in love with gas engines, proving that old habits die hard.

Tesla’s throwing 0% loans at China to hit record sales, and Lincoln just reminded everyone they still exist—by snagging SUV of the Year.

Oh, and Nissan’s AI is now the best paint inspector in the biz.
