Thank you for having me on the show! It was a great conversation with @DWeisburd. Your questions and insights make all the difference. #FutureOfTransportation
Below is my conversation with @TheScottPainter directly posted on the X platform. We discuss Scott’s Relationship with Elon Musk, raising $2 Billion dollars in Venture Capital and the Future of Mobility.
“Just to put a sense on, uh, how big this is, effective GDP globally is about 85 trillion. We all spend nearly 15 percent of what we generate in terms of gross income on mobility. Mobility covers the car plus all the other stuff. You got the car, the taxes, the title, the registration, the insurance, the maintenance.
And then whether you need fuel or charging, you're spending, if you make 100,000 a year, you're spending 15,000 a year on mobility, understanding that rubric globally, we're spending close to 11 or 12 trillion a year on mobility.”

Exciting news! @drive_autonomy has partnered with @evautodotcom, an exclusive EV-only dealership. This partnership is a game-changer, not only for EV Auto but for dealerships in general. We’re offering a new option for customers that would have otherwise been turned away!
Recent research shows a growing preference for simplified subscription models instead of traditional car ownership especially among young adults. Autonomy and EV Auto are aligned with this trend, making EVs more accessible and hassle-free. Read below for more info.

My Amex card is offering $1000 off $1000 spent on @drive_autonomy & unlike every other EV the @VinFastUS #VF8 has no start fee, $750/mth should be a free month to try it out.
Any downsides to giving it a shot?

While Lucid is certainly a remarkable product with remarkable statistics we @drive_autonomy still believe that affordability is the key to scaling. These "super car" stats will result in niche volumes and a strong "fanboy" following but true scale (>30k unites per year) will require a more accessible price point.
All that aside - those stats are pretty remarkable. I would drive it!!

Lex - my DM are open. Reach out to me if you’re serious. At @drive_autonomy we can get you into a Tesla without going into debt or going through the hassle of buying a vehicle and having to separately negotiate manage the purchase, title, registration, insurance and maintenance. We make getting access to am EV cheaper and easier.
