Welcome to another weekend bonus episode of the Tech Mem Ride Home.

I'm Brian McCullough.

About a year ago, Elon Musk was doing so much crazy stuff. I was desperate for someone to tell me what was going on. So I reached out to Rob Maower from the Tesla Daily Podcast to be a sort of Elon Whisperer for me.

Rob was great and gracious and actually that was the beginning of the weekend bonus episode idea in a way.

So a year on, let's take Elon's temperature again and Tesla's.

Great conversation today with Rob about where Tesla is at and also

Congrats to Rob and the Tesla Daily Podcast for turning two years old. If you don't

know the show it's a daily show like ours. Would compliment

ours if you're into Tesla and EVs and cars and stuff.

Subscribe now. Tesla Daily.

It was over a year ago, Skype tells me, but I thought it was less than that, but

when we spoke a year ago, it was right in the midst of, I don't know what you would call it,

Elon's Rum Springer or whatever it was.

So, uh...

That is the best description of it that I've definitely heard.

Well, all right, but let's, so it's a year on now, it seems to have calmed down.

Yeah, I think so.

Um, not to ask you to get all, you know, gossipy national inquiry

about it, but do we have a read on what was going on at this point last year?

Was it a bad breakup?

Was it just too much stress?

Like, what do you think was going on?
