Welcome to Carter Vance — your forensic inside look into the global automotive industry, engineering teardowns, and market economics.

Hosted by automotive analyst Carter Vance, our weekly deep-dive documentary investigations take you behind the closed doors of automotive benchmarking facilities, executive boardrooms, and dealership lots across North America and the world.

We break down:
• Physical engineering teardowns: unibody structures, battery chemistries, parts reduction, and manufacturing costs.
• Automotive market realities: dealership inventory glut, floorplan debt, auto loan interest rates, and consumer affordability.
• The global EV race: vertical integration, trade tariffs, supply chain dominance, and the future of domestic automaking.
