  • S04EP05 - Donald Trump as electric vehicle saviour?
    Nov 15 2024
    Ask most anyone who followed the recent U.S. presidential election, and they’ll tell you that one of the many things that Donald Trump is ‘anti’ about is electric vehicles. He plans to scrap the EV consumer rebate credit and put in place policies that favour Big Oil. On the latest episode of the Motor Mouth Podcast, David Booth offers a stark contrast to those sentiments, and in fact also sees Trump promoting another one of his favourite ‘antis’ - China. As always, David’s provocative thoughts and conclusions serve for a rollicking ride down the automotive highway.

  • S04EP04 - U.S. election result could have big impact on Canada’s auto sector
    Nov 8 2024
    Much has been written and said about U.S. President elect Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk, some flattering some not, but what cannot be denied is that neither man does anything in half measures. Now that Trump has won the election, in fairly dominant fashion it must be said, much speculation is making the rounds as to what role Musk will have in the 47th president’s administration. Musk poured a reported US$130 million into Trump’s campaign war chest, so he’ll be looking for some kind of input into how the US government moves forward on segments near and dear to his wallet: namely, autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, social media and space exploration. Today we’ll hear David’s thoughts on what role Musk will play in the administration and what policies he’ll promote. And why that US$130 million is looking like money well spent, particularly in terms of turning Musk’s robotaxi dream come true.

  • S04EP03 - U.S. election result could have big impact on Canada’s auto sector
    Nov 1 2024
    The stakes are high south of the border as U.S. voters go to the polls on Tuesday to elect a new president, but lost in all the hype and hot air is how a Trump administration could have dire impacts on Canada’s automotive sector. David Booth has done the research and crunched the numbers and discovered some existential threats to our domestic industry, one of which we have no remedy for. David has been burning the midnight oil this week researching such diverse subjects as the 60-year-old Canada-US Auto Pact, the United States Mexico Canada Agreement, the Inflation Reduction Act, Trump’s proposed car loan deductibility and why the hell is Elon Musk cozying up to Trump? As always, it’s a rollicking discussion covering issues you probably haven’t even heard about, but are serious enough to have even David fearing what might be to come.
