0:00.0	We're alive for a new episode of the Electric Podcast.
0:05.3	I am Fred Lambert, your host.
0:06.6	And as usual, I'm joined by Seth Winthrop, coming us live from Vermont.
0:11.2	How are you doing, Seth?
0:12.7	I'm good.
0:14.2	Super.
0:15.1	And we're going to have actually more than just us too on this podcast this week.
0:18.3	So a special treat for you, the very elusive but very brilliant. Jamieie dow is going to join us later on the show to talk a little bit about uh his experience with fisker in the last uh i don't know when he did that uh drive it was last week i think so not that but the ocean and he got some time with the pair too uh so he's going to give us his impression on those. If you haven't read his post about it already this week, I suggest you do, because it's a lot more detail than what he's going to have time to tell us today. But still, we're going to have a little treat at the end of the show. But first off, we're going to join up with Tesla News right after I let you know about our sponsor, VMAX.
0:55.5	If you're looking for a high-quality e-scooter with superior performance, check out the new VX5, VX2 Pro, VX4, and the R40 and R-55-5-5-E-speed race scooter from VMAX.

1:27.6	And it's a strange end of the year for Tesla.
1:31.5	Just because normally the last quarter of the year is very good for sales for electric vehicles,
1:37.7	especially with now with the tax credit in place.
1:39.8	Because if you buy toward the end of the year,
1:42.6	well, you have a lot quicker time to turn around the tax credit and get your money back,
1:48.7	that rather than if you buy in Q1 in the year, you won't get your money until a full year, basically.
1:54.9	But in this case, it's a double-edged sword where you have that, but at the same time, you have the tax credit in the US
2:01.5	is gonna turn into a point of sale tax credit next year,
2:05.8	which is even quicker way to get your money.
