Yeah, we know this episode’s podcast title is a misquote, but the sentiment remains true: With the unveiling of a hydrogen-powered 5500 Ram truck, it’s a bold strategy for Ram. What else is a bold strategy is Biden’s 100% tariff on Chinese-built EVs, Tesla’s about-face on firings and hirings, and Rimac shifting away from full electric hypercars. We talk about all of this, plus more, on this week’s podcast.Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible, Spotify, Stitcher, PocketCasts, iHeartRadio, Podbean, and more!
