Every time I think about getting an ev I watch a video of a rover v8 or Honda cbx and don't want an ev anymore!😂
You guys are nothing but Democratic boot lickers
Interesting guest and concept. Please remind Jonny that he is a host. He's not the one being interviewed. Less talking and more questions. That's how you interview.
Gasoline and turbos all the way
Kills roadkill, keeps this.
Working out deals to install chargers for free so obvious. Crazy it didn't happen before. Love that you're even giving away the cables.
Yaris – $16k
Freiburger forever 🤘 Finnegan rules dulcich is god
The point you made is very interesting and has sparked my thoughts.
The audio level on your podcasts is too low. Listen to your videos and audio files in a car so you can see that it’s barely audible without turning up the volume A LOT.
Can someone pass a note to Jonny that Teslas currently qualify for the EV tax credit.
