About this listen

Patrick and Tim kick off the show by discussing Toyota’s hybrid-only 2026 Toyota RAV4 and why it’s so huge for getting people into electrified vehicles. They recap Elon Musk’s media tour this week and fact-check his claim that Tesla sales are seeing a major rebound. They also dive into a brand reputation poll that did not turn out great for the EV brand.
Finally, the guys explain why America’s EV industry is headed for a slowdown thanks to Trump’s tax bill and other policies.
