Exclusive-Hyundai Motor has a rare earths stockpile that can last about a year, source says
By Heekyong Yang SEOUL (Reuters) -Hyundai Motor has a rare earths stockpile that can last about a year and it does not expect any near-term impact from global supply chain disruptions caused by China's export curbs, said a person who attended a company investor call. China's decision in April to restrict exports of a wide range of rare earths and related magnets has tripped up the supply chains central to automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor companies and military contractors around the world. The stockpiling by Hyundai, the world's No.3 automaker along with its affiliate Kia Corp, indicates it is better-placed than many competitors to withstand restrictions that have already impacted production or the supplier network of companies including Ford and BMW. A Hyundai investor relations official said the South Korean automaker had "far more wiggle room" than rivals with regard to rare earths-related supply chain issues affecting the industry, according to the attendee on the investor call, which was not open to the public. The official told investors Hyundai's efforts to diversify supply chains and improve procurement had succeeded and the company expected to be able to produce electric vehicles or hybrid cars without disruptions "for at least about one year," the attendee said. Hyundai also significantly boosted its rare earths inventories during a recent period when China had slightly relaxed its export restrictions, the official said, according to the attendee who spoke on condition of anonymity because the call was private. The South Korean automaker's stockpile of the key minerals had not been reported previously. It was not clear whether the inventory was solely stockpiled by Hyundai and its affiliate Kia or also included stocks held by their suppliers. In a statement to Reuters, Hyundai declined to comment on specific inventory details or procurement strategies. "We continuously evaluate market conditions to ensure operational stability and maintain a diversified global supply chain," Hyundai said. "As part of our standard business practices, we maintain appropriate inventory levels to support uninterrupted production." China produces around 90% of the world's rare earths, which are essential for the production of vehicles, especially electric vehicle motors. Hyundai Motor Group also holds about a one-year inventory of rare earths-related magnets needed for its mainstay EVs and hybrid vehicles, said a person familiar with the matter, declining to be named due to the sensitivity of the subject. China's dominance of the critical mineral industry is increasingly viewed as a key point of leverage for Beijing in the trade war sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. U.S.-China trade talks were set to extend to a second day in London on Tuesday as top economic officials from the world's two largest economies sought to defuse a bitter dispute that has widened from tariffs to restrictions over rare earths.

'I Haven't Seen This Car Before:' Mechanic Works on Customer's Ford. Then He Takes a Closer Look at the Windshield Sticker
One mechanic is about to change the oil on his new customer's Ford when he takes a closer look at a sticker on the windshield. With nearly 20,000 miles between oil changes, is this Ford a ticking time bomb, or is it a simple case of a forgetful technician? TikTok user Rotor Lathe (@ posted his discovery on Thursday. In the video, he revealed a new customer who brought their car in for an oil change. "Oil change sticker says 12/19/23 at 16,000, roughly," he said. "And we've got 35,013 miles on this car. I can only imagine what this oil is going to look like." Clearly, Lathe intended the video as a sincere PSA, but the internet pointed out another possibility (as it always does). "Hear me out," wrote one viewer. "Could it be possible that the customer has had their oil changed but nobody put a sticker on it?" Someone else noted the cliffhanger with sarcasm. "I love the part where you show us the oil," they wrote. "They could have done [the oil change] themselves in between," suggested another person. "Just bought a '93 Blazer and the sticker says '08... Still has a few hundred miles to go," wrote someone else. How Many Oil Changes Did the Customer Miss? Let's take the sticker at face value and assume that the Ford's owner drove the car without an oil change for approximately 19,000 miles. If you accept AAA's general advice and change your oil every 3,000-5,000 miles, it means this car owner might've skipped out on three or four oil changes. How Bad Is This On the Car Maintenance Neglect Scale? According to the folks on this Reddit thread posted to r/cars three years ago, it's high up there. The original poster said they drove 17,000 miles in a 1986 Honda CRX Si. "Drove 45,000 miles a year 95 percent on the highway, so at least the miles were easy..." the Redditor wrote. In the comments, a user wrote, "There's a guy on the Civicx forum right now who went 20,000 miles on his tuned Si, without an oil change. His engine is [ruined] and he's getting cooked by the members lol." Someone else wrote, "25,000 miles. My fault, but only because I didn't know any better. I knew it needed maintenance, but didn't know anything about it. It wasn't until I got my first oil change and looked at the little sticker in the corner of the window that showed 'next change in 3,000 miles.' Oops." Motor1 reached out to Lathe via TikTok for comment. It reached out to Ford via email. They responded with sound advice. The Ford representative said, "Customers should read their owner's manual for information about maintenance intervals."
