Trump Goes Tesla, Rivian Stumbles, CarMax Soars
Episode 161
We’ve skidded our way through another week like a souped-up EV on a victory lap. Today, I’m talking about President Trump’s surprising Tesla purchase, transforming the White House into a showroom featuring a Model S Plaid and a Cybertruck, despite his past EV bashing. Next, Rivian’s production cuts to 47,000 vehicles signal trouble, with stock plummeting and cash burning fast, though an Amazon deal offers hope. Meanwhile, CarMax doubles down on used EVs, riding a 30% sales surge and adding “EV Education Stations” to woo newbie buyers. *Hey CarMax, let’s collab!*
