    Is Your Car a Snitch? The Hidden GPS Tracker EVERY Driver Ignores

    Your car could be spying on you right now—and you’d never know it. For less than thirty bucks, a stranger can track every stop you make, every person you visit, even when you leave your house. These devices are cheap, powerful, and scary easy to hide. Some can run for months on a single charge. Others wire straight into your car so they NEVER die. Worst of all? They’re sold online to anyone. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-motor-files-podcast--4960744/support.

    Why Your Next Car Will Be Chinese

    You think the car market is safe? Think again.  Your next car probably won’t be a Ford, Toyota, or VW — and it may be built in your backyard. China’s automakers aren’t trying to win by shipping more cars — they’re winning by building inside the markets that tried to shut them out. In this episode we break down the bold, real strategy behind that shift: speed, cost, and total control of the supply chain. What you’ll learn: • How Chinese makers (like BYD) are bypassing tariffs by building factories in Europe, Mexico, Brazil and beyond. • The 3 secrets giving them a permanent cost advantage: faster product cycles, cheaper factory build costs, and vertical integration (batteries, chips, parts). • Why tariffs didn’t stop them — and how “Made in Europe/Mexico” changes the game. • What this means for prices, features, and the future of legacy automakers. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly deep dives on automotive trends and insider strategy.
