Metallica ruined my hearing (totally my fault, I admit), but I remind my kids every week how important it is to protect theirs. "It’s like sunscreen, but for your ears."

Tesla's (TSLA) quarter-over-quarter market dominance is steadily declining. While they remain the leader in the EV space, their share is being eroded as competitors gain ground. Notably, GM and Ford are showing consistent growth, whereas Toyota is still struggling to define a clear EV strategy.

In AV sales, authentic connections beat scripted perfection. I tried to keep things light—sometimes even humorous—and never took myself too seriously, always mindful of the context. My goal was to be memorable in a positive way and respectful of wherever someone was on their AV journey.
