Range Rover Sport Goes Hybrid, GM Goes Digital, Foxconn Goes All In and West Virginia Plugs Orphan Wells
Episode 68
Monday, 27 October, 2025
Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode!A phone manufacturer building your next “American” EV might seem crazy—until you see the plan. We explain how Foxconn shifted from making iPhones to building electric cars, why rebadging through a U.S. automaker could unlock scale, and how tariffs, incentives, and dealer networks influence what actually ends up in your driveway. The past offers clues—Chevy LUV, Ford Courier—and the future arrives on private-label platforms.We then examine the 2025 Range Rover Sport Autobiography, a luxury SUV that blends smooth performance and a commanding view with serious capabilities: adaptive off-road modes, air suspension, real fording depth, and a notable EV-only range on the plug-in hybrid. The highlights are impressive—ride quality, quiet cabin, thoughtful loading aids—while the weak spots are human-centric: a high step-in without helpers, a stubborn touchscreen, and controls that should be better at this price point. It’s modern, tasteful, and above average, yet still seeking top-tier user-interface refinement.Finally, we look at GM’s plan for a driver-assist system based on a centralized computing platform that is regularly updated over the air. The goal is a vehicle that improves over time; the risks include cybersecurity, redundancy, data privacy, and safe fallback options when hardware ages or updates fail. We also highlight a policy innovation worth noting: West Virginia’s Mountain State Plugging Fund, a public–private model designed to cover thousands of orphaned oil and gas wells without using taxpayer money, transforming scattered liabilities into a structured, growing solution.If mobility, autonomy, and smart policy matter to you, tune in, subscribe, and share this episode with a friend.
