Here's what's happening in automotive industry news that Todd Bianco is talking about on this week's episode:

GM is building another battery factory, the Mazda MX-30 EV is range compromised, Audi announced its new Q4 E-Tron SUVs, Mercedes took the wraps off the new EQS flagship electric sedan, Rivian has its own cool insurance offerings and a generous return policy, CarGurus says the Tesla Cyber is the most anticipated electric pickup, Mercedes introduced the EQB crossover, Cadillac unveiled the production Lyriq and VW announced pricing on the new Taos baby SUV. Stellantis kills Giorgio, Honda has terrible North American electrification plans, the Volvo XC40 Recharge earned Top Safety Pick+ from the IIHS while the Ford Mustang Mach-E earned the Top Safety Pick, and just missed adding the “+,” Prince’s estate is selling his rather boring cars, the Tesla Model 3 became the best-selling premium sedan in the world last quarter, VW is copying Tesla with its next-gen EVs when it will Software-as-a-Service (SaS), California is getting its EPA waiver back and Toyota bought Lyft’s autonomous vehicle unit. 

And, iSeeCars.com did a survey of which car colors are best for resale value. You’d be surprised at the results!
