Hi Guys,
I listened to your show with the Bridgestone tire co. I thought of a great marketing opportunity for their Firestone stores. I think they should partner with electric vehicle manufactures for their maintenance needs. They could take care of their tires, brakes, and suspension warranty work.
This is the majority of the warranty problems. This set up would be far cheaper than sending vans around to fix cars. They could also be taught to do other things. This would drive down the fixed cost of the stores. Please let me know what you think. I continue to love your show and I hope things get better for everyone.

I don’t think it’s fair what you said about the Pacifica!
FCA decided to put a battery in their Pacifica for (what was it… 12 miles) of range?
The important thing is, you cant do autonomous without the power for computing to do it and for that you need a battery.
Do any of the competitors you mentioned have a PHEV or BEV that could support autonomy?
