[NEWS] DriveItAway and Free2Move, a Stellantis subsidiary, have teamed up to launch a new flexible subscription model that’s turning dealerships into true mobility centers. This genius setup lets younger buyers and credit-challenged customers test-drive EVs and other cars long-term, making commitment as easy as swiping right. Dealerships are loving it, churning out their own used car inventory and raking in new revenue with zero hassle. The digital platform’s smoother than a Sunday drive, streamlining the whole process. Aimed at 18-34 year-olds who’d rather subscribe than buy, this partnership’s got the auto world buzzing. Tune in to hear how John Possumato, CEO of DriveItAway and Benjamin Maillard, Managing Director of Free2Move North America are rewriting the rules of personal mobility with this groundbreaking new partnership!

Joe Overby, Senior Editor of Auto Remarketing and a man who probably dreams in auctioneer's chant is on the show today to talk about a 20% spike in EV auction sales this April. Seems like Tesla’s strutting its stuff like the prom king of EVs. But will other automakers crash the party? We’re betting on some serious plot twists. Joe also dishes on how dealers can tame the wild beast of EV price volatility (hint: more leasing options, because who doesn’t love a low-commitment fling with a shiny new EV?). Plus, we throw some love at the upcoming Canada’s Used Car Week and Used Car Week in Vegas. NOTE: the song at the end actually *slaps* plus, the headshot in question is in the episode cover art. Fair warning: this one's a gem, you can thank me later.

It's been a crazy busy week! First, we mourn the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T, canceled for 2026 after a lackluster sales run, proving muscle car fans aren’t ready to ditch their V8s. Then, GM steals the spotlight with its game-changing LMR battery tech, promising longer ranges and safer EVs by the decade’s end. Finally, Toyota’s 2026 bZ Woodland SUV rolls in with rugged charm, 375 horsepower, and off-road swagger, ready to conquer the trails.
