Welcome to a beautiful Thursday in the Auto Industry, folks. Today we talk about another glitch in VinFast’s US Launch. We also cover GM CFO’s recent purchase of GM stock, as well as a new campaign by Staples that touts humans over AI.

  • Vietnamese EV maker VinFast recalls its entire first US batch due to a safety risk. This decision follows the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's warning about a software error in the dashboard of 999 VinFast's VF 8 vehicles, potentially increasing crash risk.
    • Software error in the dashboard display causes it to go blank while the vehicle is in motion
    • 700 of the 999 vehicles have yet to be delivered
    • The company isn’t aware of any incidents and an update is set to go out today
  • In a move deemed 'unusual' by analysts, General Motors CFO Paul Jacobson has invested $1.01 million of his personal funds to buy 31,000 GM shares. The move seems to be an indication of Jacobson's confidence in GM's transition to electric vehicles, amid GM's market cap being lower than Ford's
    • "I’m sure he finds the stock quite undervalued and he believes in GM’s EV transformation," said David Whiston, auto analyst for Morningstar.
    • "Paul’s stock purchases reflect his confidence in our ability to deliver both today and into the future as we grow our EV portfolio, and scale Cruise and other growth opportunities," said GM spokesman Jim Cain in an email to the Detroit Free Press.
    • CEO Mary Barra has been in the role for 9 years and has only purchased $26k worth of GM stock by comparison
  • Staples has introduced a new campaign called "Business is Human" to showcase the irreplaceable value of human interactions in the age of growing AI reliance. The campaign highlights the unique roles and expertise of Staples staff, asserting that customer service is more than just an algorithmic exchange.
    • The initiative aims to remind consumers that despite the digital evolution, Staples values personal connections, expert advice, and the human touch that builds customer trust and loyalty.
    • The campaign presents its employees in various ‘human’ situations like one employee sharing their personal "Workday Kickstart," expressing their preference for a good cappuccino, underscoring that "life is too short for bad coffee."
