| 0:00.0 | Coming up today, on podcast 1951, Mercedes-Benz expands their charging network, Jaguar Land Rover |
| 0:05.5 | say they'll miss their EV targets and the importance of used EVs according to Tesla. |
| 0:10.2 | Plus, stay tuned because later in the show, I'll tell you what investors at Berkshire Hathaway |
| 0:14.2 | had to say about the strength of Tesla versus B.YD. |
| 0:18.6 | But first, Hyundai's ionic electric model sales are going up last month in October, at least |
| 0:24.3 | in the US. |
| 0:25.7 | Hyundai's EV sales, specifically the EGMP, Arnick 5 and 6, that's the 800-ish volts cars. |
| 0:34.1 | The ones that can charge really quickly, but also the latest, greatest from Hyundai, |
| 0:37.9 | had a big sales uptick. So for the Arnick 5, looking at 2,979, and the Arnick 6, 1,239. The combined sales |

| 1:27.3 | She's just over a year old a few weeks ago now. Yes, my listeners, viewers, know that we adopted a baby girl. She's just over a year old |
| 1:28.5 | a few weeks ago now. Yes, bags under the eyes. And because of that, you know, we, we know |
| 1:35.1 | that because of our son, who's five now, the smaller kids are, the bigger all the stuff that they |
| 1:40.6 | come with. And the coner's just a little bit small for us now, so we're going to have to change it, |
| 1:44.7 | which is real shame. |
