Exposing Collusion Between Big Government, Big Labor, And Volkswagen's Unionization Efforts
How Big Government and Big Labor Colluded to Get VW to Unionize and why Volkswagen employees are likely to regret it. Workers are free to choose to unionize, not so free to decertify.
Volkswagen workers’ vote for United Auto Workers representation last week was driven by the union’s promise of the same rich $108,000 annual pay package (equivalent to a Silicon Valley software developer’s income) that the union won for Detroit Three blue-collar workers last fall.
But VW’s surrender to the highly partisan UAW labor union played a factor as well. The truth will surprise you.
In a not-so-subtle threat to all 13 nonunion auto companies being targeted by the UAW, 33 Democratic Party senators sent a letter earlier this year demanding that they remain neutral in the union’s campaign.
This is audio from the Total Car Score Podcast
Lauren Fix co-hosts with Javier Mota and Karl Brauer
Today we interview Henry Payne, writer at
The Detroit News, renowned automotive journalist, racer
and cartoonist about the UAW and the important
pieces behind the pay negotiations no one is
talking about.

States Sue to BLOCK US Regulations on Vehicle Emissions
States sue to block US rules curbing tailpipe emissions in cars, light trucks. Multiple states are not pleased with the federal government forcing new regulations on Americans. The Environmental Protection Agency is receiving more pushback for its emission rules for passenger vehicles that will go into effect in 2026. Republican attorney generals in 25 states are suing the EPA to block these rules from going into effect.
The lawsuit claims the rules will threaten the economy, cause job losses, raise vehicle prices, and put the electrical grid at risk. The EPA already scaled back its original proposal after resistance from the auto industry and the UAW. The original proposal cut tailpipe emissions by 56% before 2032 compared to original request of 2026. After much push back it was then reduced to 49% in the final rule. These attorney generals say the rule is legally flawed and is forcing automakers to meet the mandate to go all electric even though consumers are pushing back and sales have dropped off dramatically.
After resistance by auto workers and the auto industry, the final version of the regulations was scaled back compared to an earlier proposal in order to give automakers more flexibility in meeting the emissions reduction goals. The EPA gave automakers more freedom to meet emissions standards with gas-electric hybrids, which many environmentalists have opposed as a half-measure that delays the EV transition.
The EPA denies that and says there is “absolutely no mandate” for automakers to adopt EVs. Because this is an election year, there will be more fights like this since EVs have now become politicized.
These attorney generals stated that the rules amount to an attempt by the administration to transform the American passenger vehicle market improperly through strict rules that make it difficult for manufacturers to not go electric.
Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman said the rules would harm the American economy, threaten jobs and raise prices while undermining the U.S. electricity grid. Coleman also said there is very little consumer interest in electric vehicles in his state.
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey called the rules "legally flawed and unrealistic, to say the least."
Other states that joined the suit included: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming.
Of course, the EPA declined to comment.
The EPA has forecast that between 35% and 56% of new vehicles sold between 2030 and 2032 would be electric under the rules – a range that reflected the flexibility the agency has said automakers have to pursue different pollution-cutting technologies.
States are forced into legal action against the government as more aggressive mandates put their states at risk for lost jobs, negative economic impacts to the state and its residents. An aggressive government that forces its citizens to buy something that they can’t afford by an unelected regulatory agency that makes arbitrary laws is a major issue that needs to be handled in the courts.

Discover the 2025 Kia Carnival: Game-changer, Not Your Average Minivan
The 2025 KIA Carnival MPV or Minivan has been redefined. The new 2025 Carnival MPV offers a turbocharged hybrid powertrain, a refreshed design, and advanced driver-assistance features.
The Carnival's SUV-like styling cleverly disguises its minivan-ness, which makes it cool enough to pass the suburban-family test. Minivans are without a doubt the most practical family vehicles on the road today.
The 2025 model receives updates to its grille, headlamps, taillamps, wheels, and lower body panels that look inspired by the company's new EV9 electric three-row crossover. Inside, the center console has been revised slightly and the climate control panel is now separate and mounted on the dashboard rather than part of the console itself. The infotainment system has been upgraded to Kia's latest interface, which now includes a more robust voice assistant which can perform more tasks than before. A new lane-centering feature is available and couples with the Carnival's adaptive cruise control system to better keep the van on track when traveling on the highway.

Tesla's Performance Falls Short: What Went Wrong? Why is the Stock Up?
Tesla 1st quarter of 2024 earnings show its market value has lost money in 2024. Shares are down 40%. Tesla Q1 net income drops 55% to $1.1 billion; revenue slides 9% to $21.3 billion.Tesla reported an 8.5% fall in Q1 deliveries — its first decline since the second quarter of 2020. Tesla has relentless cuts to its sticker prices which is not helping the bottom line.
New Tesla Model 3 Performance was announced, and boasts more than 500 horsepower and a claimed 0-60 mph time of 2.9 seconds. Additional enhancements include sport seats, upgraded brakes, adaptive dampers and carbon-fiber bits. It's available to order now, with deliveries starting next month.
Overall, Tesla fell far short of expectations in its eagerly awaited earnings report Tuesday afternoon, but its stock rallied considerably as the company emphasized its pathway to sustainable growth. After hours showed an almost $20/share increase, investors like what Elon Musk had to say.
Tesla claims it will have a low-cost vehicle, whatever that means, in late 2025. Also discussion on the Robotaxi which will be shown August 8, but no other update on timing.
The limping Tesla reported its first-quarter vehicle deliveries earlier this month, coming in far below expectations as the company grapples with demand issues for electric vehicles globally, especially in China.

Prepare For A Wave Of Car Repossessions - Financial Crisis Alert!
A growing number of drivers are falling behind on their car payments, car repossessions are also on the rise and financial analysts fear will continue, it is a sign reflective of soaring car prices and prolonged inflation having an effect on household budgets.
In recent months, the number of people behind on their car payments has been approaching new levels, and for the lowest-income consumers, the rate of loan defaults is now exceeding where it was in 2019, according to data from ratings agency Fitch.
Industry analysts worry the trend is only going to continue into 2024 with economists expecting unemployment to rise, inflation to remain relatively high, and household savings set to dwindle. At the same time, a growing number of consumers are having to stretch their budgets to afford a vehicle. The average monthly payment for a new car is up 26% since 2019 to $718 a month, and nearly one in six new car buyers are spending more than $1,000 a month on vehicles. Other costs associated with owning a car have also shot up, like insurance, gas and repairs.
These repossessions are occurring on people who could afford that $500 or $600 a month payment two years ago, but now everything else in their life is more expensive,” per Edmunds. “That’s where we’re starting to see the repossessions happen because it’s just everything else starting to pin you down.”
Getting your car repossessed is one of the most frustrating things to deal with as a driver. This typically happens when you default on your loan and stop making the payments. Once your car is repossessed, the lender will typically sell it at auction to recoup their money.
While it can be a tedious process, it's possible to get your vehicle back after a repossession. Just remember that you must act quickly. In this article, we'll explain how you can get your car back after a repossession so you don't lose the car you love or need.
The simplest way to get your repossessed vehicle back is to pay off the outstanding balance. Car repossession happens when you default on the loan, so you can get the car back by reinstating the loan.
Before you reach out to the repossession company, learn about the state laws around reclaiming items from a repossession company. It's not uncommon for these repossession companies to charge "storage fees" before they'll allow you to get your personal property back. In some cases, this is illegal, so make sure they're abiding by your state's regulations.
If any of your items have sustained damage, it's on the repossession company to cover the cost of it. In addition to items inside the vehicle, this includes property damage that occurred during the repossession process. For example, if the repo agent damaged your mailbox or garage door in the process of taking your vehicle, they are responsible for the cost of repairs.
The easiest way to deal with repossession is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Being proactive is the best way to keep your vehicle firmly in your possession and avoid hurting your credit.
If you're having trouble making your loan payments, reach out to your lender to see what kind of options they're willing to offer. Sometimes, lenders will give you a relief period to get your finances in order before having to make a car payment again. They might even modify your loan terms and put you on a new payment plan to better suit your current financial situation.

The Department of Energy said it has canceled its plans to purchase millions of barrels of oil to refill the depleted U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, as oil prices rise to a five-month high.
In canceling the SPR purchase, the Energy Department said it was “keeping the taxpayer’s interest at the forefront” of its buyback plan, which is to refill the depleted reserves so long as prices remain below $79 per barrel. As of today we have only 17 days of emergency fuel.
In October, it announced a buyback plan targeting oil prices of between $67 to $72 per barrel to replenish the SPR, which it later raised to $79. In its most recent refill, last month, the department exceeded those prices— spending an average of $81 per barrel to replenish the reserves.
Some analysts see oil heading much higher over the summer. JP Morgan said it now expects Brent prices to rise to $90 per barrel by May and $100 per barrel by September.
There is more to this story and it impacts the cost of gasoline at the pump. Let’s look deeper into the US Petroleum Reserve requirements and regulations. On page 441 of the 1050 page "Government emergency funding bill" it says that the US must sell the US petroleum reserve, and close it forever in the "NorthEast". This is very concerning in case of an emergency.
The bill makes it understood that the current administration knows electric vehicles will never compete with gasoline with consumers, buyers should be able to buy whatever works for them. The bill is a sabotage to our oil and gasoline supplies. Let me prove it to you.
SEC. 308. Notwithstanding sections 161 and 167 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C.6241, 6247), the Secretary of Energy shall draw down and sell one million barrels of refined petroleum product from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve during fiscal year 2024. All proceeds from such sale shall be deposited into the general fund of the Treasury during fiscal year 2024. Upon the completion of such sale, the Secretary shall carry out the closure of the Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve.
On March 3, 2024, (U:\2024OMNI\HMS31169.xml SEN.APPRO. 442), this was posted.The cost estimate for the establishment, operation, and maintenance of the reserve, including funding sources; a detailed plan for operation of the reserve, including the conditions upon which the products may be released; the location of the reserve; and the estimate of the total inventory of the reserve.
SEC. 309. None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to draw down and sell petroleum products from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (1) to any entity that is under the ownership, control, or influence of the Chinese Communist Party; or (2) except on condition that such petroleum products will not be exported to the People’s Republic of China.
Bets by energy investors on Wall Street suggest that the price gains have room to run. The cost of gasoline shipments into New York Harbor next month has jumped 31% since the beginning of the year. That is faster than the average increase of 20% during the same period over the past quarter-century.
Gas prices typically rise in the spring, reaching a peak in the summer when the demand is high and gasoline formulations are more expensive, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration. You’ll be charged even more to fill your tank when summer blend gasoline hits the pumps. This type of gasoline is formulated to prevent excessive evaporation when temperatures warm.

Don't Make a Mistake: Pros and Cons of Leasing vs Buying a Car
Cars are expensive, prices can be out of reach for many shoppers. Even with long-term auto loans, it can be tough to afford a new car. Fortunately, car leasing allows consumers to get behind the wheel of a new vehicle with a monthly payment that’s usually lower than it would be if you purchased it. Leasing a new vehicle every two or three years would be more expensive than buying one and keeping it after the final payment. Other consumers are quite content to lease a vehicle they could never afford to buy, even if it doesn't necessarily save them money.
In today's video, we'll be discussing one of the most difficult choices you'll ever have to make - whether to lease or buy a car. Many people are faced with this decision at some point in their lives, and it can be quite overwhelming. However, there's one common mistake that people make when deciding between leasing or buying a car that can end up costing them thousands of dollars.
Leasing a car can be a great option for those who want a new car every few years and don't want to deal with the hassle of selling or trading in their old car. However, if you're not careful, you could end up paying more for your leased car than you would have if you had just bought it outright. This is because many people fall into the trap of leasing a car they can't afford, or they get talked into expensive lease terms by pushy salespeople.
On the other hand, buying a car can be a great option for those who want to own their car outright and don't mind driving the same car for several years. However, if you're not careful, you could end up paying more in interest and depreciation than you would have if you had just leased. This is because cars depreciate rapidly in value, and if you're not careful, you could end up owing more on your car than it's worth.
So, what's the common mistake that people make when deciding between leasing and buying a car? It's failing to do the math. Before you make a decision, you need to sit down and crunch the numbers to see which option makes the most sense for your budget and lifestyle. We go over the pros and cons of leasing vs buying a car and giving you some tips to help you make the right decision.
If you're thinking about buying or leasing a car, make sure you watch this video before you make a decision. Don't make the common mistake that could end up costing you thousands of dollars.

Are Rising Insurance Rates Putting The Brakes On The EV Revolution?
Will Increased Insurance Costs Derail The EV Revolution? Here are some of the reasons to consider, why it might. If you remember that car-carrier ship that caught fire and sank in the ocean in early 2022? The Felicity Ace, operated by Mitsui OSK Lines, that took 3,000 #Porsches #Audis #bentley and #lamborghini to the bottom of the Atlantic. Mitsui OSK Lines has filed a lawsuit against Porsche seeking 30 Million Euros in damages, blaming the fire on the lithium battery in one of their electric vehicles.
How does this impact the future of electric vehicle insurance. On the ship that was on fire, there was 498 electric vehicles and over 3,200 other vehicles, including 350 Mercedes Benz, were bound for Egypt when one or more of the EVs caught fire, costing at least one persons life, and injuring several others.
At last report, the #dutch coast guard admitted that it has been unable to put out the fire and that the ship has taken on water and is “listing” and on a trajectory toward a capsize. The ship sank, the total loss would also threaten the Frisian island of Ameland, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to over 10,000 aquatic and terrestrial species and located near one of the world’s most important migratory-bird habitats.
But all in all, this was a freak accident, a one-off. This stuff never happens… Right?
There have been more cargo ships with electric cars on board catching fire lately, we have more details about the most recent cargo ship carrying nearly 3,000 cars that caught fire off the coast of the Netherlands, while traveling from Germany to Egypt. Almost one in seven cars on the blazing cargo ship are electric.
Recently, two firefighters died battling flames that broke out on another roll-on, roll-off cargo ship docked at Port Newark in #newjersey . Firefighters arrived at the scene when just five to seven vehicles on the 10th floor of the ship were on fire, but the fire quickly spread to the 11th and 12th floors.
Why does this matter? The cargo ship is one of several that have caught fire and burned over the past year. While this could result in a major environmental disaster if the ship sinks, firefighters and salvage crews are working to keep it afloat and extinguish the fire so it can be brought into a facility for reclamation.
Insurance companies are having to write off #evs with just a few miles if they are damaged. This is leading to higher premiums because of the many EVs for which there is no way to repair or assess even slightly damaged battery packs after accidents. EVs, according to Consumer Reports, may not withstand an accident as well as traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. EV batteries are vulnerable to damage, and with any indication of a compromised battery, insurance companies will likely declare an EV crash a total loss. This puts those EVs and their batteries in junkyards to degrade over time and hopefully not leak the chemicals or catch fire.
The higher costs for auto insurance only add to the already-higher costs of purchasing an EV, then procuring a personal charging station and spending more money to upgrade home wiring boxes especially for older homes.
The cost to insure electric cars continues to rise for multiple reasons. When insurance companies set their rates, they’ll look at claims that have been paid for similar cars, among other things, and set their prices. It comes as all motorists face soaring insurance costs, with prices said to be at an all-time high.

Why Insurance Rates are on the Rise Again
Car insurance premiums have surged by 22.2% over the past year, according to March’s Consumer Price Index figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, far outpacing the current inflation rate of 3.5%. Over the same 12-month period, car repair costs increased 11.6%, with maintenance and repair costs up 8.2%.
Premium costs are accelerating, with March’s 2.6% month-over-month jump in car insurance costs almost three times the size of February’s 0.9% rise, and 12-month increases exceeding 20% over the past four months–the largest increases since the 1970s.

Mandatory Speed Limit Devices Coming To All New Cars
New Bill Mandates All New Cars Have ‘Automatic Speed Limit’ Devices. The National Transportation Safety Bureau (NTSB) urged 17 automakers to install intelligent speed-assistance technology in all new vehicles that, at a minimum, warns a driver when the vehicle is speeding.
The NTSB stated that the bureau needs intelligent speed assistance technology and countermeasures including interlock program for repeat speeding offenders. What is intelligent speed assistance technology? Here’s the definition, direct from the NTSB press release:
“Intelligent speed assistance technology, or ISA, uses a car’s GPS location compared with a database of posted speed limits and its onboard cameras to help ensure safe and legal speeds. Passive ISA systems warn a driver when the vehicle exceeds the speed limit through visual, sound, or haptic alerts, and the driver is responsible for slowing the car. Active systems include mechanisms that make it more difficult, but not impossible, to increase the speed of a vehicle above the posted speed limit and those that electronically limit the speed of the vehicle to fully prevent drivers from exceeding the speed limit.”
CA State Senator Scott Wiener, a Democrat from San Francisco, introduced the Speeding and Fatality Emergency Reduction on California Streets Package this week that includes a provision that would require “new vehicles sold in California” to “install speed governors, smart devices that automatically limit the vehicle’s speed to 10 miles above the legal limit.”
“These changes are a head-on attempt to tackle vehicle fatalities, which are surging across the U.S.—and especially in California—amid a rise in reckless driving since the onset of the pandemic,” a press release from Wiener’s office explained.
“A recent report from TRIP, a national transportation research group, found that traffic fatalities in California have increased by 22% from 2019 to 2022, compared to 19% for the U.S. overall. In 2022, 4,400 Californians died in car crashes.”
The bill package also “requires side under ride guards on trucks, to reduce the risk of cars and bikes being pulled underneath the truck during a crash” and “physical improvements like new crosswalks and curb extensions on state-owned surface streets to better accommodate pedestrians, cyclists, the disability community, and transit users.”
The press release argues that these changes are meant to “slash” the “California road deaths epidemic.” “The alarming surge in road deaths is unbearable and demands an urgent response,” Wiener said.
Not everyone is on board with the legislation, including social media users who expressed frustration with the plan.
This is the first step in monitoring driving habits and taxing motorists by the miles driven and time on the road. Don’t forget the kill switches from the 2021 infrastructure rule which is in all 2026 and later cars. We have one last chance to remove these stupid regulations.
If this law is enacted it’s almost guaranteed that a speed governor test will be added to the biennial smog inspection. The device will be required to be installed before allowing license registration of out of state vehicles.

Why Rental Car Companies Are Ditching Electric Vehicles for Gas Cars
Rental-car company is the latest to be hit by weak demand for electric cars. Hertz Global Holdings Inc. said Thursday it is selling about 20,000 electric vehicles from its fleet, or about one-third of the total, in the latest sign that the EV revolution is stalling amid weak demand from consumers.
The move is aimed at better balancing supply and expected demand for EVs, allowing the car-rental company to scrap a disproportionate number of lower-margin rentals and reduce damage expenses associated with EVs.
Collision and damage costs for EVs remained high in the fourth quarter, Hertz said in a regulatory filing. That’s because EVs require special tools and parts and specialist knowledge to repair after a crash, more so than traditional gas-powered vehicles.
The charge is on top of the depreciation costs the company expects to record in the quarter in the ordinary course of managing its fleet.
Hertz will continue to offer EVs but will implement measures to boost profitability, including by expanding infrastructure such as charging stations and expanding relationships with EV makers, particularly as it relates to more affordable access to parts and labor, the company said.
Hertz will reinvest in additional internal-combustion-engine vehicles and expects to improve profits or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, across 2024, as vehicles are rotated.
