Compliment and Constructive Criticism

You two are have put together a wonderful show. You are a staple in my podcast listening, especially when I was the market for an EV (and just as much since I bought an EV). I have one thing to share that might improve the show…Fred please don’t cut Seth off as he is speaking. Your audience would really like to hear his full thoughts. For example listen to the last show, to be more exact listen to the portion when Seth starts to speak on the Cybertruck delivery event and the baseball is brought up. In those moments Fred you don’t have to jump in and try to correct Seth, let him speak; it helps with the flow of the show.

I gave 4 of 5, but if you can correct that I would be extremely happy to give 5 of 5.

Thanks for the time.

Best Podcast!

This is the best podcast on one of the most important issues facing humanity! The information here is unbiased and invaluable. I recommend this to anybody, the questions at the end alone are worth the price of admission!

Loves hating on Tesla

This podcast used to deliver news in an unbiased fashion. Seems they have developed a serious dislike of Elon Musk which clearly impacts their reporting. Apparently Fred believes because he owns a few shares of Tesla gives him license to tilt almost all reporting of Tesla negative. Seth love lol lol cut Rivian slack and beat up on Tesla at every turn. They need to keep their bias in check if they want to consider themselves ‘journalists’.
