Wow; terrific show John! Kudos to everyone involved, particularly Don Runkle whose insights are every bit as illuminating as those of Bob Lutz!

I agree with Ron – the “deep dive” with some intellectually honest points of view is so refreshing!

John… has it occurred to you that the giant vertical (my words) screen in the Tesla Model S may not be such a good idea? Nobody else is touching it. Maybe the horizontal screen in most other auto applications, as well as the Tesla Model 3, is a better approach! The first time I say the vertical monster in a Model S I it was completely out of place. Shock factor aside being first does not always work.

John why do we let PC and racist intolerance rule. The RAM adds were wonderful, uplifting (MLK) and funny ( Vikings )! God Bless America!
