0:00.0	This is one of the most fun episodes I've done ever, and actually there's not a lot
0:28.2	of laughter in it, but it's just fascinating, but such a dense experience to record this. So Alex
0:33.8	Voit has been on the show before. He is an extraordinary, well he's an engineer who's studied factory
0:42.4	design and then has gone on to be a kind of journalist talking about the Automotive Industry, and he's
0:49.4	upset a huge amount of people because he's very critical of the German Automotive Industry and very
0:56.2	pro-Tesla, and that really upset some people. Obviously not Tesla fanatics, but anyone else. But I think
1:04.7	what he's saying is really important. I don't mean the reason he's saying this is because he's
1:09.0	very concerned about the future of the German Automotive Industry because it's under an enormous
1:14.5	lot of threats, not just from Tesla, but from China, from Korea, from other car companies
1:21.6	around the world. I mean the Germany has been on the top of the the car industry for so long,
1:27.4	and I think there's a lot of concern that that is going to be that their time is waning. I mean
1:33.3	it employs huge numbers of people and it's absolutely backed by another German economy, so it's
1:37.3	very central to what they do. Okay, well let's get on with the show. Really want you to enjoy this. I
1:42.8	really hope you do. It's quite long, but I don't want to cut any of it because Alex is a genius and
1:47.4	it's all brilliant. Do subscribe, though, to the fully charged. And more important than subscribe,
1:53.3	do tell your mates about it. Tell them, oh, I listen to the fully charged plus podcast. Have
1:59.6	a listen. It's really interesting. I have all sorts of different people on and it's not always
2:03.7	the boring old bloke that does them because Helen's going to do some other, there's going to be
2:08.1	other presenters that do the show and we're going to do more like group conversation episodes where
2:13.8	more people are involved. So before we start, though, with Alex Moitt on this wonderful,
2:19.1	gorgeous episode of the fully charged plus podcast, let's have a quick message from our wonderful
2:25.6	sponsors who make this show possible.
