| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Pulse podcast, the podcast where we delve |
| 0:10.1 | into the life and death decade of the automotive industry. You're joined as always by myself, |
| 0:15.2 | Imogen Bogle and Dan Caesar, CEO of Fully Charged Show. Hi Dan. How are you doing? I'm really well, thank you. It's not long since I saw you. I saw you in Southampton last week. I'm sure we'll come on to onto that, but how have you been? Yeah, not bad. Do you know what? Before this podcast, I was like, when we've seen each other recently, when was it? But when you're out and about all the time, sort of all of the |
| 0:38.2 | days kind of meld into each other. But yeah, I've been good. I went to Paris last week to see |
| 0:43.9 | Fabrice Camberliff to talk about their small car strategy, Europe's K-car, why they're still looking at hybrids, |
| 0:51.4 | which was fabulous. And then, as you say, we met in a rather gloomy Southampton. It was a very, very grey day. But to see some exciting stuff. So that was good. How about you? Yes. I mean, I think I've been sort of getting my head down. Unfortunately, when it comes to the fully charged show and everything we do, there is quite a lot of work to be done. I'm not saying that you do all the glamour bits, |
| 1:15.1 | but I mean, certainly in the engine room, oh no, I can't say that, can I? |
| 1:20.1 | In the beating electric heart of everything electric and fully charged show, there's a lot of work |
| 1:25.7 | going on for our plans for this year, |
| 1:28.2 | including our live shows, including all the episodes and podcasts and some other little projects |
| 1:33.9 | as well that we're working on. So it's a busy time and just keeping up to date with the news |
| 1:40.4 | of what's going on the industry as well. So we can recount that here on the Pulse podcast because it must be difficult if you're |
| 1:48.3 | in the market really to keep up every day there are new breaking stories. |
| 1:53.5 | Yeah. |
| 1:54.0 | And do you know what? |
| 1:55.0 | I find that whenever I have a shoot day, which is approximately three days a week, |
| 1:59.9 | and then I come back and I've obviously come back to my inbox and I'm like shoot day, which is approximately three days a week. And then I come back and I've obviously |
| 2:01.2 | come back to my inbox. And I'm like, God, you know, it's been 24 hours and yet I feel so far |
| 2:07.3 | behind. So let alone people who are trying to decipher this industry, we're literally paid to be |
| 2:12.8 | on top of these things. But for anyone who's observing, it's an overwhelming space to inhabit. |
| 2:18.7 | Very, very fast-changing, very uncertain, but I'm sure we'll come on to some of that. |
| 2:24.0 | Well, we have three stories for you today. We're talking Tesla, controversially. We're |
