All Revved Up – Week of October 23, 2021
On this edition of All Revved Up with Todd Bianco: Big auto companies are making big deals for battery factories to electrify their fleets. Todd ranted about the fact that “MIC” Made-In-China cars are coming to the U.S. The Chinese invasion will be with electric vehicles, completely skipping internal combustion vehicles. Like the Japanese and Koreans before them, they have been learning quickly and now can manufacture desirable products at very competitive prices. We already buy Chinese-built cars in the U.S. without even knowing. The market will look very different by 2030. The Ford Maverick is back as an entry level pickup truck with an eye-popping EPA rating of 42 mpg city for the base hybrid. Tesla is accelerating it dominance in both EVs and Supercharging. Bring-a-Trailer has some fantastic picks this week, including a 1970 Fiat Dino Spyder, a 1971 DeTomaso Pantera and a 1971 Firebird Trans Am.  John McMullen’s Bring A Trailer Picks:https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1931-rolls-royce-20-25-2/https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1965-ford-mustang-convertible-86/https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2011-toyota-tacoma-4/https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-detomaso-pantera-29/https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1967-pontiac-firebird-36/ Todd Bianco’s Bring A Trailer Picks:https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1966-fiat-2300s-coupe/https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-pontiac-firebird-trans-am-4/https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-fiat-dino-7/https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1966-chevrolet-corvair-27/https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2000-ford-mustang-cobra-r-16/
