About the show

Driven to Live isn’t just about cars — it’s about the people, the stories, and the crazy roads we all travel. Hosts Stephen Rivers and Jesus Garcia dig into the latest automotive news, wild engineering experiments, and the culture that fuels gearheads everywhere. One week, you’ll hear about the newest factory performance monster, the next it’s a rant about why America stopped building compact cars. It’s fast-paced, unfiltered, and fueled by the same curiosity that makes you glance at every interesting car you pass. If it’s got wheels, an engine, and a story, you’ll find it here.

Driven to Live #52: Hyundai Tucson Revealed, Tesla Roadster Delayed, and More!

48 min

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.
