Customer Reviews
Information
I enjoy the width and breath of topics covered and the owners that call in with advice or information on their experiences. Very up to date info. Thanks
Great Deep Dive on Tesla Design
New to the podcast but really enjoyed the episode on the design leadership at Tesla. Sounds like great people working on really cool stuff! Best possible match to evolve thinking behind futures mobility designs.
However, I am baffled about calling CyberTtuck a truck frankly. Seems very boring and average losing the opportunity to take the design & the target use to the next level by creating a transformer category where the backside is detached into a 2-seat 3-wheeler making the derrière, face of a sexy playful urban transporter ;~]
Many thanks for this opportunity to learn
Can’t support Tesla anymore
Ideally this show would branch away from solely focusing on Tesla.
