Jaguar's Type 01 is finally here and oh boy do Jesus and Stephen have some thoughts.

Oh yeah... and yall did it... they're going to Bentonville to record together before the month is out... Season 2 is going to be awesome.

Tesla’s Roadster is delayed again, Mercedes is dropping several EVs, and Hyundai has unveiled a bold new Tucson. On this episode of Driven to Live, hosts Stephen Rivers and Jesus Garcia get into the latest car news—and ask whether automakers are building the cars drivers actually want. Jesus shares his first impressions of the 2027 Hyundai Tucson, from its boxier design and roomy interior to its hybrid powertrain and new AI co-pilot. That tech sparks a bigger conversation: how much personal data should a car collect, and where does it go? Stephen and Jesus also discuss a report on connected cars sharing data with third parties, and question whether the convenience is worth the tradeoff. Plus, they revisit Toyota’s famously tough Hilux, talk about why EV charging can still be frustrating, unpack Mercedes’ retreat from some electric models, and look at what recent Dodge sales say about what buyers choose. They wrap up with the latest Tesla Roadster delay—and whether another demo can live up to years of anticipation. Listen for an honest, lively take on car culture, industry trends, EVs, and the technology changing the driving experience.

Tesla’s long-awaited Roadster, Bentley’s first EV, and a Houston shootout that left a parked car riddled with more than 40 bullets lead this week’s conversation. Stephen Rivers and Jesus Garcia also dig into Flock’s expanding camera network, the next Toyota Corolla, and why fewer young buyers are entering the new-car market. As prices climb, they discuss the growing appeal of keeping older cars on the road—and ask whether Tesla can turn Roadster hype into a real, deliverable car.
