  • This Auto Parts CEO Is Suing the Government—Here’s Why Car Prices Keep Rising

    This Auto Parts CEO Is Suing the Government—Here’s Why Car Prices Keep Rising
    Dec 26 2025
    In this exclusive episode of The Motor Files, we sit down with Mike Musheinesh, CEO of Detroit Axle, to unpack how recent tariff policies are reshaping the auto parts industry — from supply chains and pricing to innovation and expansion.
    Detroit Axle grew from a small family shop in Dearborn into a national aftermarket powerhouse. But today, even established American manufacturers are feeling the pressure. Projects are paused. Costs are climbing. And customers are paying the price.
    Mike didn’t set out to become a public voice in this debate — but when policies began threatening workers, affordability, and long-term competitiveness, staying quiet was no longer an option.

    This conversation dives into:
    How tariffs are disrupting the auto aftermarket
    Why expansion plans were put on hold
    What this means for car owners, mechanics, and families
    Why market forces — not mandates — drive real competition
    The hidden consequences few are talking about
    If you care about cars, auto parts, American manufacturing, or where the industry is headed, this is a conversation you need to hear.

  • Humans vs Robots: How Automation Is Killing American Auto Jobs

    Humans vs Robots: How Automation Is Killing American Auto Jobs
    Dec 19 2025
    For nearly a century, American auto workers built the backbone of the U.S. middle class.
    Now, they’re being replaced — not by cheaper labor overseas, but by machines that never sleep.

    While U.S. plants struggle to retrofit aging factories, China is building fully automated “dark factories” capable of producing hundreds of electric vehicles per day with minimal human labor. These facilities don’t need lights, breaks, or benefits — and they’re changing the global auto industry forever.
