We dragged Bill Taylor into the studio and immediately made him regret it by ping-ponging between EV anxiety, Jeep loyalty, and our collective trauma from the cars we drove in our youth. We wandered through market chaos, elevation-induced EV mood swings, and the eternal battle of “should I customize this or should I just accept who I am?” Spoiler: we still don’t know anything, but we talk like we do. It’s honestly impressive.
