In the video below, Larry Evans and Raymond Tribdino talk about their recent trips to the Beijing Auto Show (Auto China 2026), the vast EV offerings on the market in China, as well as the growing availability of Chinese EV models in the ASEAN region, South America, and beyond. We also discuss the completely different US EV market and we are diverging from the rest of the global auto market.
Larry also talks about his experience with the Tesla Model Y L, how legacy automakers are focusing on their histories rather than innovating in the new EV market in China, and sporty and large luxurious EVs being the focus of the event.
Of course, we got into a variety of other matters as well, and we discussed some really interesting XPENG autonomous driving details after the video that we’ll have to come back to in a future show.
I had to finish with a totally different topic for those who made it to the end — the NBA playoffs and the New York Knicks. Make sure you get fully to the end if that interests you.
