## Resource

The EV market is shifting as federal incentives change from upfront credits to long-term tax deductions, making new cars pricier and boosting the used EV boom. Premium brands may adapt better, while older manufacturers struggle to keep pace. Early adopters selling their vehicles flood the used market, potentially making EVs as affordable as gas cars in five years—and hurting demand for new models. Rivian’s R2 targets a niche like Subaru, but faces fierce competition from giants like Ford, BMW, and Volvo. The real question? Can that niche support profitable scale? Meanwhile, autonomous tech—especially LiDAR—adds cost and complexity, risking affordability. Investors are eyeing QuantumScape for solid-state battery breakthroughs and NXP for semiconductor dominance in ADAS systems. Even legacy automakers like GM are showing strong value, hinting at hidden gems in the EV transition. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
