Nutson’s Automotive News Wrap-up – Week Ending October 30, 2021 ; Below are the past week’s important, relevant, semi-secret, or snappy automotive news, opinions and insider back stories presented as
expertly crafted easy-to-digest news nuggets.

* Quote of the week is from Joe White writing for Reuters. “At a high level, the investor community has slammed down the gavel on the debate over the future of combustion engine vehicles in the world’s major markets. The verdict: It’s over. Electric vehicles are the winners, and Tesla is so far and away the leader in EVs that it will take all the market share it can handle – like GM in the 1950s and 1960s, except moreso.”

* GM is planning to install 40,000 electric vehicle chargers across the U.S. and Canada as part of a new community charging program. The program, set to start next year, will work with its dealers to have charging stations in locations including workplaces, multi-unit dwellings, sports and entertainment venues and colleges and universities. Nearly 90{cfdf3f5372635aeb15fd3e2aecc7cb5d7150695e02bd72e0a44f1581164ad809} of the U.S. population lives within 10 miles of a GM dealer. The EV chargers will be available to anyone with an electric vehicle regardless of brand.

* From a Detroit Free press story we learn a new report details costs to “fill-up” an electric vehicle compared with a gasoline car. Anderson Economic released the report “Comparison: Real World Cost of Fueling EVs and ICE Vehicles.” The study has four major findings regarding additional costs to powering EVs beyond electricity: cost of a home charger, commercial charging, the EV tax and “deadhead” miles. For now, EVs cost more to power than gasoline costs to fuel an internal combustion car that gets reasonable gas mileage. Charging costs vary more widely than gasoline prices. There are significant time costs to finding reliable public chargers — and then a charger could take 30 minutes to go from 20{cfdf3f5372635aeb15fd3e2aecc7cb5d7150695e02bd72e0a44f1581164ad809} to an 80{cfdf3f5372635aeb15fd3e2aecc7cb5d7150695e02bd72e0a44f1581164ad809} charge.

* Hertz announced it has ordered 100,000 Tesla Model 3 electric vehicles for its car-rental fleets in the U.S. and Europe and 50,000 for Uber partnership. Hertz will have access to the Tesla Supercharger network. Hertz also plans to build its own charging network with 3,000 chargers in 65 locations by the end of 2022 and 4,000 by the end of 2023. Hertz will provide Uber drivers with up to 50,000 rented Teslas – a deal that fleshes out the rationale for Hertz’s order of 100,000 Teslas. Former Ford CEO Mark Fields is the interim Hertz CEO.

* Record high used car prices over the past 15 months as a result of the microchip shortage have slowed down the average depreciation rate across all vehicles. The latest iSeeCars study found that the average depreciation of a five-year-old vehicle has slowed to 40.1 percent in 2021, compared to 49.1 percent in 2020. Jeep Wrangler tops the list of vehicles with the lowest depreciation, at 9.2 percent over five years. Nissan LEAF depreciates the most, losing 65.1 percent of its value, amounting to a $23,666 drop in value over five years. Trucks and truck-based SUVs hold their value the best, while EVs and luxury sedans see the most depreciation. See how your vehicle is doing HERE

* Land Rover unveiled the new 2022 Range Rover. The first redesign in a decade. It’s due to go into production next year as only the fifth generation of the large off-road luxury SUV since the model line was introduced in 1970. There will be a V8 as well as a mild-hybrid inline 6 engine. A pure battery electric version is coming in 2024. The New Range Rover is available to order now, priced from $104,000 in the U.S., with deliveries beginning spring 2022.

* The 2023 Kia Sportage made its premiere in the United States. The new Sportage grows in size compared to the previous model. The overall length is 7.1 inches longer, and the wheelbase increases by 3.4 inches.The fifth generation of the crossover arrives in America in the first quarter of 2022.

*Small SUV Crash Results From The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is introducing a new, tougher side crash test to address higher-speed crashes that continue to cause fatalities. In the first tests of 2020-21 vehicles, only one out of 20 small SUVs, the 2021 Mazda CX-5, earns a good rating. Nine vehicles earn acceptable ratings: the Audi Q3, Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax, Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Venza and Volvo XC40. Eight others — the Chevrolet Equinox, Ford Escape, GMC Terrain, Hyundai Tucson, Jeep Compass, Jeep Renegade, Kia Sportage and Lincoln Corsair — earn marginal ratings. Two more, the Honda HR-V and Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, receive poor ratings. To address higher-speed crashes, the updated side test uses a heavier barrier traveling at a higher speed to simulate the striking vehicle. The new barrier weighs 4,180 pounds — close to the weight of today’s midsize SUVs — and strikes the test vehicle at 37 mph, compared with a 3,300-pound barrier traveling at 31 mph in the original evaluation.

* Hyundai Motor’s IONIQ 5 has won a 2022 German Car of the Year (GCOTY) award in the “New Energy” category. As a class winner, the automaker’s full-electric midsize CUV will automatically take part in the final round of the GCOTY. IONIQ 5 will compete against the winners of the “Compact”, “Premium”, “Luxury” and “Performance” categories. The overall winner will be announced on November 25, 2021.

* The Lucid Air sedan went into production about a month ago in Casa Grande, Arizona. Lucid plans to deliver its first customer cars on Saturday, October 30, marking an important milestone for company. The first examples scheduled to be handed over to owners are the Dream Edition Range with a 520-mile EPA driving range estimate and the Dream Edition Performance with a 1111-hp output rating.

* Honda At 2021 SEMA: Honda will demonstrate its diverse paths to fun and performance at the 2021 SEMA Show in Las Vegas Nov. 2-5, showcasing seven vehicles, including the debut of two all-new Civic Si race cars and a pair of rugged Honda light trucks custom-built for extreme overlanding adventures. Honda Performance Development (HPD) will showcase a prototype of its next-generation turn-key Civic Si race car. Designed for Touring Car competition, it will be displayed alongside the new Team Honda Research West (THR-W) Civic Si race car, which will compete in the 25 Hours of Thunderhill endurance race December 3-5.

* The Dodge brand is doubling down on its role as a pure performance brand with a sneak peek at one of two new performance-based programs set to be announced in early November. National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) drag-racing superstars Matt Hagan and Leah Pruett helped kick off the launch sequence by carrying special “Direct Connection” graphics on their respective race cars at the Dodge//SRT NHRA Nationals Presented by Pennzoil, scheduled the weekend October 29-31 at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “Tune” in for the virtual announcement of the Dodge brand’s two new performance initiatives on November 8 at Dodge.com.

* The winner was not a driver but an algorithm last Saturday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the top car clocked an average speed of 135 mph, ushering autonomous vehicles into a new era. Setting the record pace over two laps, a team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) won a $1 million prize in the first Indy Autonomous Challenge, an event dedicated to self-driving cars. Each autonomous car relies on sensors, cameras, radar, but above all GPS, without which no controlled motion is possible, to the point that some have two onboard. The Dallara IL-15, used by every team, resembles a Formula One car but is smaller and comes with a price tag of $230,000. However, the technology on board makes each car worth more than $1 million, according to event organizers.

Stay safe. Be Well.

AutoMobility LA Faces Dire State Of Auto Shows With Sunny Expectations

Soon after a two-year hiatus, the Los Angeles Car Show is returning in November to the Los Angeles Conference Heart, promising the form of world-wide product or service reveals, press announcements and consumer tire-kicking that has characterised classic automobile reveals over the final few many years.

It’ll be intriguing to see regardless of whether the show now named AutoMobility LA-LA Vehicle Clearly show regains some lost traction for this really threatened sort of automotive marketing and advertising — or underscores why automobile exhibits have grow to be so endangered, on the brink of getting irrelevant and even extinct.

The L.A. clearly show is placing on a sport face in advance, promising to deliver to America’s leading auto-buying market information bulletins by “legacy” automakers together with Hyundai, Kia, Porsche and Subaru as effectively as by all-new, Southern California-based mostly manufacturers Fisker and Mullen Automotive. The exhibit also declared that Vietnam’s 1st global automaker, VinFast, will launch its brand and goods there.

After a two-working day interval of news conferences and push reveals, the L.A. demonstrate will open up its 1 million sq. toes of indoor and out of doors space to the basic community, with the hope that local buyers have been champing at the little bit to be equipped to slam doorways and glance under the hoods of true in its place of virtual sheetmetal. Also, electrical-vehicle would make and the general battery-powered proposition will have a shot at wowing opportunity consumers in America’s prime EV market.

“Our admirers are eager to get back again out in-human being and reignite what is turn into a November custom in Los Angeles,” explained Terri Toennies, president of AutoMobility LA and the LA Auto Display, in a press release.

But the L.A. show in fact will be combating uphill in opposition to a latest deterioration in the primary charm of regular auto exhibitions — not so considerably to individuals, but to the automakers and suppliers who for numerous many years have shelled out thousands and thousands of pounds to invest in the shows’ unmatched platforms for press interest in advance of the admittance of the car or truck-buying public.

Lethal level of competition has arrive to automobile demonstrates like the U.S. marquee events in L.A., Detroit, New York and Chicago in two forms. Very first, as an adjunct to Silicon Valley’s invasion of the automobile by way of EVs and autonomous automobiles, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas boldly elbowed into automobile shows’ house by amping up its concentrate on automobile-associated technologies above the final several decades. Afflicted but unbowed by the pandemic and arranging a ton of vehicle-connected announcements and articles, the annual CES will be staged all over again in early January, 2022.

At the similar time, car brand names have been reacting to the end of the industry’s quite a few-12 months sturdy run of escalating gross sales and wringing their fingers about advertising and marketing expenditures. Increasingly, they can stage their possess in-individual reveals with a handpicked audience of influencers — or just start new products on the internet and by using social media and prevent the substantial expense of staging an extravaganza at L.A. or other car displays.

The Detroit auto present, regarded as the North American Global Vehicle Exhibit, appears to have gotten the worst of this flip of events, which of course also has included the stultifying results of covid. The past classic NAIAS, yearly staged in January, was in early 2019. Demonstrate officials noticed the creating on the wall for 2020 and prepared to move NAIAS to the summer months, capitalizing on improved weather and using benefit of vehicle-relevant venues and pursuits all close to metro Detroit instead of just in the downtown conference centre.

The pandemic scotched people strategies, and NAIAS ultimately finished up scheduling a vastly scaled-down outdoors party for previous September called Motor Bella, in Pontiac, Michigan. Torrential rains for two times ruined that function.

But even prior to thunderstorms doused Motor Bella, Toyota’s internet marketing prepare about the important launch of its all-new 2022 Toyota Tundra spoke volumes about the fate of today’s auto shows. Rather of picking to get the wraps off the product at Motor Bella, the L.A. show or any other bodily car exhibition, Toyota figuratively unveiled the new Tundra to the American general public on September 19 throughout a telecast of the Countrywide Soccer League’s Sunday Night time Football, with a 60-second industrial titled “Born from Invincible.” Only a number of times later was Tundra scheduled to make its “auto-demonstrate debut” in Michigan at Motor Bella.

“This place served as our reveal option, in the absence of a classic automobile clearly show because of to covid,” Lisa Materazzo, head of advertising for Toyota, explained to me. “Like several other OEMs, we’re thinking of how we introduce new vehicles to the marketplace. It gave us the chance to be artistic [in the ad] as effectively.

“The second we’re pulling the silk off a vehicle and revealing it to the planet was distinct this yr, and it really built for a exceptional and ground breaking and engaging way.”

Why 11 Republican governors are opposing EV tax credit plan

Kildee’s proposal would offer an added $4,500 for EVs assembled in U.S. factories represented by a labor union.

Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., led an earlier proposal in the Senate that also would tie added EV tax credits to automobiles assembled in unionized U.S. factories.

“We are unable to help any proposal that produces a discriminatory setting in our states by punishing autoworkers and automobile businesses since the employees in their vegetation selected not to unionize,” the governors wrote in the letter.

“By placing selected automobiles at a value disadvantage, this legislation works towards our states, undercuts our residents and negatively impacts the U.S. economy,” they wrote. “Congress really should not enact proposals that favor cars manufactured by one particular get the job done drive above a different, specifically when undertaking so substantially boundaries consumer option and undermines bigger carbon emission reduction targets.”

The governors who signed the letter to Home Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Minority Chief Kevin McCarty, Senate Bulk Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Chief Mitch McConnell are from Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Ga, Indiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, did not signal the letter. Her state is household to the UAW.

The group is urging Congress to “consider the expenditure and work produced by all automakers — nonunion stores involved” as they consider the proposals.

The governors’ letter comes right after a team of extra than 100 House Democrats — including Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell — urged Pelosi this thirty day period to continue to keep the union-constructed provision in the trillion-bucks investing invoice.

In September, leading U.S. executives from 12 global automakers which include Toyota, Honda and Volkswagen pressed Household lawmakers to help broader tax credits for EVs in the monthly bill and to oppose “procedures that gradual development towards assembly our nation’s local weather ambitions.”

The American Worldwide Auto Dealers Association, which signifies more than 9,000 worldwide-nameplate dealers in the U.S., also urged Home leaders to oppose the EV tax credit rating proposal in a separate letter despatched past month.

The UAW, which represents U.S. autoworkers at Basic Motors, Ford and Stellantis, has urged Congress to go the reconciliation monthly bill with the “Kildee/Stabenow provision” on EV tax credits.

Why data-driven marketing is critical for the evolving car industry

The commercial design for providing cars is shifting, with suppliers adopting the direct-to-shopper (also know as the company design) development staying witnessed by a wide variety of organization sectors as people today look to simplify the purchasing approach.

This is a sea improve for car or truck producers. It’s also sophisticated to navigate in terms of the agreements that will still be demanded with dealerships.

The net outcome is that automakers are suffering from key and sustained strain on their base traces.
 
Tackling the industry’s shifting car retail sands necessitates a 3-pronged tactic: provide far more promote superior look for out new income streams.
 
Of system, it seems to be clear on paper. But far from becoming a rousing sales team pep chat, these concrete ways type the foundation of the modern motor trade. Let’s seem at them in depth.
 
Market extra

This is not the evident admonishment to promote much more vehicles (even though that of training course is essential) instead it focuses on expanding the ‘extras’ bought to another person who has procured a vehicle.

Currently a buyer traveling to the manufacturer’s web site a week soon after positioning their purchase is possible to be offered yet another automobile. This doesn’t function for anyone.

Contrast that with a buyer obtaining a car who, on returning to the web-site, is revealed a array of readily available ancillary solutions — prolonged warranties, add-ons, support specials etcetera (and even distinct choices such as seasonal objects, based on their geographic locale — snow-tires in wintertime for instance).
 
This customized method, undertaken in near collaboration with dealers, extends the carmaker’s connection with the consumer from the existing period of time of just one to two a long time, probably to in between five and 8 a long time. And by growing this buyer lifetime price, it opens up a selection of revenue-building opportunities that insert benefit to the conclusion consumer.

Hunting outdoors the automotive sector presents more inspiration on how to ‘sell more’.

Telecom business Orange, for case in point, sells a huge wide range of equipment these types of as earbuds and phone situations as a final result of the personalization of its site and just after gross sales marketing campaigns.

And vacation professional Pierre & Vacances Centre Parcs, running a voucher procedure as the pandemic pressured folks to cancel their vacations, inspired vacationers to supplement visits planned for the long term with incentives such as even larger rooms and further routines.

Producing these as appealing as doable expected the firm to minutely analyse its client data in buy to give encounters that had been related to distinct prospects leveraging the first ‘big’ obtain to placement the follow-up messages in order to sell much more to previously obtained clients and realise far more revenue is a key piece of the most productive electronic strategy.

Provide improved

At present carmakers manage only a smaller section of the obtaining working experience.
 
A prospective buyer might technique the maker, only to be guided to the nearest car dealership, wherever they exam generate the car or truck, negotiate the cost, agree a sale, offer their specifics and with whom they arrange subsequent providers. This information is all important — but it belongs to the distributor.
 
However, as DTC promoting becomes additional common, details possession will evolve and transform, and producers will preside in excess of expanding quantities of worthwhile insight about their shoppers and potential clients.
 
Armed with this facts, the manufacturer can strengthen their sales conversion price since they know extra about who purchases their automobiles and why — and consequently how to bring in them and keep their interest throughout the gross sales funnel. At the similar time, this expertise sharpens their focusing on capacity and permits them to minimize their acquisition fees.
 
In the long run “offering improved” is about internet marketing, and in just that actually knowing how to use electronic tracking tools (these as Google analytics) in order to mine the prosperity of information and facts that now exists. Armed with these specifics, electronic advertisement commit can be optimised primarily based on true and accurate organization and consumer information (these as purchaser life time worth, genuine purchase information and on the internet behaviours), somewhat than generic media KPIs.

Toyota Canada is just one producer actively demonstrating an innovative approach. Making use of a scoring product based mostly on initial social gathering information this sort of as on line behavior, it discovered the persons with the highest propensity to acquire a auto concentrating on these new audiences drove a dialogue charge 6 times larger than the prior tactic of re-engaging website people, although decreasing the price-for every-acquisition by 80 p.c. Far more state-of-the-art action will incorporate using escalating amounts of first occasion facts to steer promotion strategies.

Look for out new gross sales streams

Extending the vehicle-acquiring encounter offers companies the opportunity to create up a photo of their shoppers — the setting they stay in (rural or urban), the type of automobile they require, how they use it and probably wherever they go.
 
Anonymizing these aspects and including them to the large quantities of first-occasion facts that the sector previously owns, puts brands in charge of a beneficial, mainly unrealised, earnings stream that can be unlocked by means of info partnerships.

Information partnerships permit an group to entry the first-bash information of another group, both having to pay for it specifically, or reciprocating with its have initially-party facts. The method allows the two enterprises to check out new routes to new customers. For the automotive marketplace, partnerships with insurance policies firms are an evident connection, but this method is simply broadened — resorts and holiday getaway businesses are essential contenders for being familiar with extra about peoples’ driving and travelling patterns for case in point.

The composition and firm of info partnerships is nevertheless new. It truly is for that reason a benefit-producing differentiator for manufacturers that are well prepared to be trailblazers and spend time and effort and hard work acquiring it suitable now in advance of it reaches maturity.

In small, acquiring extra price is about suppliers complementing the traditional way of offering cars and trucks and using innovative imagining to make revenue from every little thing they know about the men and women that get their merchandise, in a way that improves the client expertise.
 
The knowledge ‘glue’

So what is the connection that retains collectively the modus operandi outlined over? Details. Information, details and a lot more info.
 
This phone calls for a modify of attitude in the auto market. As a substitute of a person firm promoting new cars and trucks, a further selling made use of types, another giving spare areas and however a further providing expert services, with just about every preserving their information independent, the eyesight of tomorrow relies on one particular central details hub that added benefits absolutely everyone. Sometimes referred to as a Consumer Data Platform (CDP), today’s cloud remedies for the different tech components continue to keep charges manageable, and make it feasible and comparatively uncomplex for most enterprises.
 
With a CDP recognized, details administration and assessment can supply applicable insight that provides value and generates revenue prospects during the total buyer life time.
 
Even so, this just isn’t a “tick box” physical exercise the do the job of a data-marketer is by no means done… Knowledge, and specifically business facts, is continually included to the CDP, and with it the photo of buyers becomes clearer, richer and extra granular — giving manufacturers and sellers at any time a lot more exact tools with which to sell extra, promote smart and create new product sales streams.
