My first cup of coffee is finished, and I’m ready for another, so let’s dive in.

🚘 What I’m driving: I spent the weekend navigating around town in the 2026 Subaru Solterra, which is leaving today, and I continue to discover new aspects that both impress and confuse me.

🛻 GM President Mark Reuss stated that the absence of midsize electric trucks currently is due to battery challenges, suggesting that lithium manganese rich (LMR) batteries might be the solution for this segment.

💸 The Trump administration enacted a 25% tariff on all medium- and heavy-duty trucks and parts, but many automakers, including Stellantis, which manufactures the Ram HD in Mexico, received an exemption under USMCA to mitigate the effects.

🤑 Proxy adviser ISS has recommended that Tesla shareholders reject CEO Elon Musk’s proposed $1 trillion compensation package, citing concerns about diminished board flexibility and the "astronomical" nature of the proposed grant, which could yield rewards for only partial goal attainment.

👨‍💼 Porsche has appointed Dr. Michael Leiters, former CEO of McLaren, and ex-CTO of Ferrari and project manager for the Porsche Cayenne, as its new CEO starting January 1.

🚕 The NHTSA is probing Waymo’s self-driving taxis over safety violations related to school bus regulations.

😢 GM expresses regret over discontinuing the Cadillac CT6 full-size sedan in the U.S. market.

🏭 Supply chain problems are now affecting Ford and Jeep as a shortage of parts arises due to difficulties in obtaining enough aluminum for vehicle production.

🔋 According to GM President Mark Reuss, the revival of the Chevrolet Bolt isn’t a one-time event, as a whole “family” of affordable EVs is planned from General Motors.

🏁 Weekend Race Results:

Formula 1 United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas – Max Verstappen secured the victory for Red Bull Racing.

NASCAR Cup Series YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway – Chase Briscoe claimed the win for Joe Gibbs Racing.

      Las noticias y reseñas automotrices más relevantes, sin complicaciones.

      Nuestro boletín diario gratuito te envía las historias que realmente importan directamente, cada día laborable.

      Buenos días y bienvenidos a The Downshift, o TDS para abreviar.

      TDS es ligero, directo y preciso. Busca en Internet todas las últimas noticias del mundo del automóvil y las agrupa en un solo lugar. Las historias se resumen en una oración, a veces extensa, acompañada de un enlace para quienes desean profundizar.

      La primera taza de café se ha terminado y estoy listo para una segunda, ¡así que comencemos!

      🚘 Lo que conduzco: Pasé el fin de semana recorriendo la ciudad con el Subaru Solterra 2026, que se va hoy, y sigo descubriendo cosas nuevas que me han impresionado y desconcertado.

      🛻 El presidente de GM, Mark Reuss, comentó que la razón por la que hoy no hay camionetas eléctricas de tamaño medio es debido a las baterías, y las baterías ricas en manganeso de litio (LMR) podrían ser la clave para abrir ese segmento de camionetas eléctricas.

      💸 La Administración Trump impuso un arancel del 25% sobre todos los camiones y piezas de mediano y gran tamaño, pero otorgó alivio a varios fabricantes de automóviles, incluyendo a Stellantis, que produce la Ram HD en México, con una exención del T-MEC para mitigar los impactos.

      🤑 El asesor de voto por poder ISS instó a los accionistas de Tesla a oponerse al paquete de remuneración de 1 billón de dólares para el CEO de Tesla, Elon Musk, citando la disminución de la flexibilidad del consejo y el tamaño "astronómico" de la propuesta, además de la estructura que podría permitir pagos por el logro parcial de metas.

      👨‍💼 Porsche anunció al Dr. Michael Leiters, ex CEO de McLaren y ex CTO de Ferrari, como su nuevo CEO a partir del 1 de enero.

      🚕 La NHTSA está investigando los taxis autónomos de Waymo por violaciones de seguridad relacionadas con autobuses escolares.

      😢 GM lamenta haber retirado del mercado estadounidense el sedán Cadillac CT6 de tamaño completo.

      🏭 Los problemas en la cadena de suministro ahora también están afectando a Ford y Jeep, ya que comienza a haber escasez de piezas por la dificultad de conseguir suficiente aluminio para la fabricación de vehículos.

      🔋 El regreso del Chevrolet Bolt no es un hecho aislado, según el presidente de GM, Mark Reuss, ya que una "familia" completa de vehículos eléctricos de bajo costo está en camino por parte de General Motors.

      🏁 Resultados de las carreras del fin de semana:

      Gran Premio de Estados Unidos de Fórmula 1 en el Circuit of the Americas: Max Verstappen ganó para Red Bull Racing.

      NASCAR Cup Series YellaWood 500 en Talladega Superspeedway: Chase Briscoe se llevó la victoria para Joe Gibbs Racing.
