Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Spark Sundays and Motorsport Weekends
Q: Tell me about one of the things you kicked off initially, which is great for the consumer, Spark Sundays, something where you offer a free service for EV owners. Tell me more about that and how that came about?
Fuchs says the Motor Guild partnered with EV Lab to offer battery health tests, with free checks for the first five people each Sunday and paid introductory pricing afterward. The test compares battery health and individual cells, and produces a certificate that owners can use when selling a car.
Spark Sundays and Motorsport Weekends
Q: What inspired the Motor Guild?
Sebastian Fuchs says he saw an opportunity to connect automotive business decision-makers, suppliers and professionals in the region. The Motor Guild combines community events, jobs, supplier listings, training and consulting.
Tesla's flying car news got Naz and Damo talking
Q: I'm scared if a Tesla Model 3 can easily reach 300,000 kilometers, because up till 160,000 kilometers, it would be under the warranty. What happens after the warranty?
Naz says a battery failure is uncommon but can be costly, and recommends comparing Chinese vehicles with long warranties and service packages for a driver who keeps cars for high mileage.
Tesla's flying car news got Naz and Damo talking
Q: What do you think about flying cars, whether they be Teslas or DeLoreans or anything else?
Naz says flying cars are unlikely to become a practical reality because of regulatory issues, and the hosts characterize Tesla's reveal as a publicity stunt.
Inside Ford’s Extreme Heat Testing
Q: How did you become the person responsible for Ford's regional testing operations?
I started at Ford 26 years ago as a vehicle dynamics engineer, moved to Dubai 16 years ago to build the Middle East engineering operation, and gradually took on the role of coordinating region-specific test programs, collaborations with suppliers, and ensuring test procedures align with the region's unique climate and use cases.
