Kicking Off December W/: Hyundai, Kia, Ringless, Quitting, Metallica

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier

December 1st doesn’t disappoint as we talk about Hyundai and Kia crushing November, illegal voicemails, people quitting on quitting, and Metallica’s new song (yep).

• Hyundai and Kia sales jumped a whopping 43% and 25% respectively as November deliveries set an all time sales record.
  • Hyundai inventory was up 12% over last month and has more than doubled YoY
• The public and the FCC rejoice as ringless voicemails have finally been declared illegal, ending an era of phone spam that annoyed everyone without even letting them know.
  • The ringless calls are now covered by the same Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) rules which condemn calls without explicit customer consent
  • Frequently used by telemarketers, political campaigns, and a good number of auto dealers
  • In June, a court awarded 2.5M in a class action suit against Moss Bros. Auto Group in Riverside, CA citing "aggressive unsolicited marketing"
• Job quitting has just hit a 17 month low, down to 2.6% as fewer workers voluntarily left their jobs according to the Labor Department’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey
  • Recent layoffs and inflation could be affecting employee sentiment and security
  • Jobs market still remains historically strong
• T0 the joy of rural service departments across the country, Metallica has released its first single since 2016. Just half a day after Lux Aeterna dropped, it is sitting at 2.2M plays on Spotify alone. A new album titled "72 Seasons" will be released next year, featuring the song and many more.
