We discuss. We also discuss Xiaomi’s first car, Porsche letting the Taycan rip on the Nürburgring, BYD EV sales surpassing those of Tesla, the Chevy Bolt now being a sub-$20,000 car, and more.Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible, Spotify, Stitcher, PocketCasts, iHeartRadio, and more!
