VW dealers and NADA to fight Scout Motors in court
Despite the support of the Volkswagen Group, Volkswagen insists that Scout is an independent brand. The National Automobile Dealers Association is preparing to challenge Scott in court. Scout has decided not to use Volkswagen's vast dealer network to sell its models. Last week, Scout Motors angered VW dealers across the United States by confirming that the upcoming Terra and Traveler would be sold through a direct sales model rather than through existing dealers. However, state dealer associations and the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) have begun fighting back and looking for ways to block the controversial plan to revive the brand. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP") { adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd(" 6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); Although Tesla is a pioneer in direct-to-customer sales in the United States, it faces many legal obstacles in circumventing regulations designed to protect franchised dealers.

2024 TVS Young Media Tournament Plan 8.0 Game 1: A tough fight
The thrill of being the fastest in this year's TVS Youth Media Racing Programme trials has faded. Now it's time to put on the gloves and get ready for a true test of mettle. Not only are the stakes higher, but the competitors have also stepped up their game. In my last report, I mentioned that my only goal in the YMRP 8.0 was to win. And I wanted to win. I had the fastest time out of the 39 competitors vying for a spot in the championship, but now it was time to prove that it wasn't a fluke. Now was the time to prove myself, now was the time to make it all happen. So, with that in mind (no pressure, right?), I was not only looking forward to the first round, but I also started preparing by memorizing the track and the lines for every turn in my head through the onboard videos available on YouTube.
