TWC Podcast #118: Coffee is for Customers
By Phil Royle — May 11, 2023
A trip to a VinFast showroom sparked thoughts and revelations — one of which surprised us. Listen all about it in the podcast, then head to thewattcar.com to read more. That conversation led to a discussion about Lucid, the company’s sales methods, financials, and future. Speaking of the future, we must be in it because the Track Package is finally here for the Tesla Model S Plaid. We also chat about Tesla lithium processing, Rimac breaking into the energy storage biz, and more!
