2026/02/03

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! A six-wheel Lexus that treats the back seat like a boardroom. Hundreds of thousands of Americans working well into their 80s. Hydropower storage poised to shore up a shaky grid. It sounds like three different stories, but they all point to the same reality: our future hinges on better design, smarter tradeoffs, and respect for the laws of physics. We start with the Lexus LS concept, a seven-seat “personal sanctuary” that pushes t...

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! Big promises meet hard limits—from the showroom to the server room to the edge of the map. We open with Volvo’s rumored supersized SUV, backed by Geely’s global toolbox and Zeekr’s three-row PHEV. Dealers want a GLS and X7 rival to keep buyers in the fold, but the financials are rough: low volumes, high capex, and a U.S. plant not set up for a true full-size. Importing a China-built variant might pencil out better, assuming tariff...

2026/01/27

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! Beef prices at the store feel painful, yet many ranchers are finally breathing easier. We unpack that paradox by tracing tight cattle supply, steady domestic demand, and export strength—then contrast it with row crops, where corn, soybeans, and wheat are squeezed by high input costs, softer demand, and Brazil’s bumper harvests. You’ll hear why economists see input costs, not interest rates, as the main barrier through 2026, and ho...

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! A quiet revolution is reshaping the roads around us—and it’s moving faster than most of us realize. We open with a clear-eyed look at how China is accelerating EV adoption across Latin America and Canada, while U.S. policy whiplash risks sidelining our manufacturers. It’s not a culture war; it’s a competitiveness test. Auto jobs, suppliers, and regional economies depend on aligning with what global buyers want, and today that mean...

2026/01/19

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! Prices keep climbing, and the easy villain is “too much safety.” We pull that apart by taking a clear look at how active safety reduces injuries and claims, then follow the money to where it really pools: full-size trucks, SUVs, and premium trims designed to maximize profit. From holiday discounts that barely dent margins to the psychology of sub-brands like Denali and Avenir, we lay out why the average new vehicle sits near $50,0...

2026/01/19

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! A bold claim kicked this one off: can artificial intelligence safely replace humans in nuclear power plants? We revisit the cautionary history of nuclear incidents and weigh it against the current state of AI—powerful, yes, but prone to hallucinations, bias, and adversarial manipulation. Human-in-the-loop isn’t optional when the stakes include public safety, long-lived waste, and grid stability. We also unpack the reality of small...

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! What if a $10 part could swing millions, and a single extra truck per hour could add a quarter billion in revenue? We open with the hard math behind Ford’s production ramp-up, showing how small cost changes and modest line-speed gains compound into outsized financial results. It’s a revealing look at why automakers obsess over pennies, manage thousands of suppliers, and make capacity moves that ripple through jobs, community inves...

2026/01/13

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! A tough goodbye opens the show as we chart Bollinger Motors’ rise, pivot, and fall—from an elegant, fixable EV truck vision to an ambitious medium-duty chassis play that ran headlong into the realities of capital, volume, and time. We walk through the funding twists, the move from contract manufacturing to a dedicated plant, and why selling only a handful of vehicles can doom even smart engineering. It’s a candid look at what it r...

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! A single decision can shape a decade. We examine General Motors’ abrupt exit from BrightDrop and argue that electric work vans still deliver real value: quiet, clean food trucks for dense cities, flexible upfits for utilities, and premium RV builds that thrive on low floors, instant torque, and all-weather electric drivetrains. With tooling paid for and demand abroad still rising, scrapping a platform designed for jobs the market ...

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! A cult icon priced out of reach, a luxury EV that thrills and frustrates, and a contract manufacturing giant betting big on batteries—this one threads the real story of where electric mobility stands right now. We start with the Volkswagen ID Buzz, a vehicle that should have owned family EV nostalgia but ran into U.S. pricing, tariffs, and demand headwinds. Skipping the 2026 model year isn’t surrender; it’s a hard reset that only ...

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! What happens when peak performance, practical utility, and power storage all hit an inflection point at once? We kick off with Ferrari’s leap into an all-electric supercar chassis built entirely in-house—75% recycled aluminum, an 800‑volt system, and more than 60 patented solutions designed to deliver real Ferrari feel, instant torque, and a rock-bottom center of gravity. We unpack why an EV halo car makes sense from a physics sta...

2025/12/22

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! Three stories, one throughline: trust under pressure. We kick off with VinFast’s rocky U.S. rollout—shrinking dealer networks, paused plant plans, and two EVs targeting the toughest price band in the market. We unpack why styling, timing, and the absence of an entry-level hybrid make adoption difficult, and revisit the long game required to win American buyers. Drawing lessons from Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and Kia, we outline what ...

The TechMobility Podcast ·

2025/12/15

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! A truck might look ready for tomorrow but still miss today. We start with the Tesla Cybertruck at two years old—viral videos, slipping sales, and a price story that shifted from the initial promise. Predictions assumed a plant operating near full capacity, but the reality of high fixed EV costs, recalls, and a poor fit for traditional truck buyers adds up quickly. While most pickups are sold to those towing, hauling, and enduring ...

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! The tech cycle keeps turning—covering beige PCs to the early web, from must-have apps to autonomous hype—and now a surge of AI. We examine what actually works: a human-in-the-loop approach that shifts AI from just spraying out content to becoming a disciplined helper. I share my real workflow with multiple models and editors, how I verify sources and citations, and why reading, revising, and pushing back always beat copy-paste. If...

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! Start with a trail-ready EV that looks unstoppable—then ask the tough questions about energy. We break down the Vanderhall Brawley GTS: quad motors, a climate-controlled cabin, and a 40 kWh pack promising 140 miles. It’s exciting on paper, but what happens when the temperature drops, the trail gets tough, and there’s no charger for days? We explore the real challenges of off-road electrification and the planning mindset that can m...

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! What happens when an EV startup drops paint, dealers, and traditional service—while a legacy brand doubles down on a rolling sanctuary with a 48-inch display and massage seats for every row? We explore Slate Auto’s bold low-cost truck strategy, the fine print of using independent shops for warranty repairs, and the real risks around training, parts, mobile service expectations, and lemon law recourse. Then, we test the 2025 Lincol...

In this episode of the TechMobility Podcast, Ken Chester connects the dots between design, powertrains, and autonomy across a rapidly shifting auto landscape. He opens with a look at Volvo’s new ES-90, a sleek full-electric premium car aimed at drivers who are burned out on SUVs but still want space, comfort, and ground clearance. Blending sedan elegance, fastback flexibility, and SUV practicality, the ES-90 targets professionals ...

Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode! The Arctic isn’t just ice and maps—it’s a test of national power and supply chains. We start with a candid look at the global icebreaker gap: Russia’s eight nuclear heavy ships, China’s expanding fleet, and a U.S. plan focused on medium icebreakers that may struggle through four-foot ice. We examine what mediums can handle well, why heavy icebreakers still define access and deterrence, and how timing, cost, and reliability will sh...

Power bills, car payments, and grocery expenses don’t happen in isolation—they’re connected to choices about energy, vehicles, buildings, and the technology we use to operate them. We connect these threads to show how reliability, cost, and carbon influence everyday decisions, from the kilowatts that keep cities powered to the monthly payments parked in your driveway. We start with the honest truth about the grid: reliable power r...
