This was actually the first time that our three co-hosts met each other. It was originally planned as dry run, but it went well and we decided to publish it

Please let us know if you have any topics to suggest for our next podcast.

Great job everyone!

An hour and twenty...geezo...so many podcasts, so little time. I will try to set aside time to watch. Hope you guys can become the 'Rogan' of Tesla podcasts.

 

[KyleDay]

Congrats! Looking forward to it

 

[Baluchi]

Will this be pushed to Spotify and other podcast apps?

EDIT: Watching now. I think you did a very good job of picking hosts. Since none of them knew each other before the podcast, one recommendation would be to have all three guys fly into a major auto show so they can spend a few days together.

Yes we will get this out to all major podcasting platforms soon.
And thanks for the suggestion, we will try and do something like that.

I like the people and the subjects, but it's hard to find time to sit and watch a podcast, but unfortunately, there's not an easy way to just listen unless you have YouTube premium that allows you to listen while minimized.

One comment about Costco Gas. Since I still have an old ICE car, that's the only place I buy gas. But I don't drive there just to get gas, although I'd save a lot more than a few cents. I go when I go shopping there, and the lines are not usually more than about 5 minutes, if that. But since getting a Tesla, the ICE car only needs gas about 4 -5 times a year, if that.

I'm working to get this up on all major podcast platforms by tonight.

That's strange, it shows as published in the Apple podcasts admin. Perhaps it's taking some time to update on the front end. Please let me know if it changes.

Thanks fellas! Felt like I was a part of the conversation rather than just reading about these issues/items.
