0:05.5

say they'll miss their EV targets and the importance of used EVs according to Tesla.

Plus, stay tuned because later in the show, I'll tell you what investors at Berkshire Hathaway

had to say about the strength of Tesla versus B.YD.

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

1:28.5

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
