 Ford and Lincoln’s strategy of offering customers a choice of powertrains for their vehicles continues to pay off, with company retail sales up 4% in the third quarter. This contrasts with overall U.S. retail industry sales, estimated to be flat for the quarter. Total Ford sales outpaced the industry, rising 1% compared with a 2% decline for the overall market.

Customers continued to favor hybrid vehicles during the summer months. Sales increased 38% to 48,101 in the third quarter, while electric vehicle sales grew 12%. These results come before customers can take advantage of the new Ford Power Promise, which includes a complimentary home charger with standard installation at no extra charge, and access to a 24/7 Ford advisor for electric vehicle support. “Different lifestyles and use cases require unique types of power,” said Andrew Frick, president, Ford Blue and Ford Customer Service Division. “We’ve listened to customers to offer them vehicles with powertrains to meet their specific needs, and their response validates our product strategy.” Read More


Interior Camera in Gen 2 Vehicles. Rivian Says Vehicles built for model year 2025 are equipped with an interior camera in the rearview mirror. This camera is OFF by default. You may choose to opt in to (i.e., enable) data sharing from the interior camera to help improve and develop vehicle safety systems. We do not associate these images with you or your vehicle for product improvement or development.
Gear Guard Live Cam. Our new feature allows you to:
• View live video from your parked Rivian
• Check on your vehicle’s surroundings right from the Rivian app
• Respond to alarm system notifications in real-time, with live viewing
As always, owner privacy and safety are a top concern, so video is end-to-end encrypted to prevent unauthorized access, and Rivian does not have access to this video.
Charging Partnerships. We have enabled customers to charge with third-party plug-and-charge partners in a seamless and privacy-protective manner. While both Rivian and the third-party partner can see session details, such as the charging location, total energy consumed, and session cost, Rivian does not share your contact details with the third-party partner. Note that the third party may already have them if you provided them directly, such as through their mobile app registration. The changes to our Data Privacy Notice take effect on November 1, 2024.

The Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) reviewed the crude oil production data for the months of July and August 2024 and current market conditions.
During the meeting, the Republic of Iraq, the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the Russian Federation confirmed that they had achieved full conformity and compensation according to the schedules submitted for September. The three countries reiterated their strong commitment to maintaining full conformity and compensation throughout the remaining period of the agreement.

The final assessments of September crude oil production levels will be based on the approved secondary sources providing data on production of countries participating in Declaration of Cooperation (DoC), which will be available by the second week of October 2024.

The Committee noted the three separate technical workshops between representatives from the Republic of Iraq, the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the Russian Federation and the secondary sources aimed at discussing September production details and submitting their revised compensation plans that include the August overproduction as per the submitted plans to the OPEC Secretariat.

The JMMC emphasized the critical importance of achieving full conformity and compensation. It will continue to monitor adherence to the production adjustments agreed upon at the 37th OPEC and non-OPEC Ministerial Meeting (ONOMM) held on 2 June 2024. The Committee will also continue to monitor the additional voluntary production adjustments announced by some participating OPEC and nonOPEC countries as agreed upon in the 52nd JMMC held on 1 February 2024.

Furthermore, the Committee will continuously assess market conditions.

The JMMC retains the authority to convene additional meetings or to request an OPEC and non-OPEC Ministerial Meeting, as established during the 37th ONOMM held on the 2 June 2024. The next meeting of the JMMC (57th) is scheduled for 01 December 2024. Read More
