## Resource

In this episode we unpack why Polestar is leaving the U.S. market under new connected vehicle security rules, what the regulations mean for GM, Ford, and other automakers, and whether consumers should expect higher car prices. We also explore what makes a car "American" in 2026, why the Tesla Model 3 tops the American-Made Index, the truth about U.S.-built BMWs and Toyotas, and which new car we'd buy today.
