Oh man what a ride, especially the heat at the end! 

It's always a good show when Jonny is in the hot seat. Topics include: why the complaints about the Rivian R1S are misguided; off-roading the new Silverado ZR2; something broke on his Rivian R1T; the worst flight:driving time ratios; the strange tax bill from his Pikes Peak run; Tesla's crash standards; responding to criticism of MotorTrend's reporting on Tesla; and (this was the big one)  Jonny's opinion of people who criticize precious metal mining in relation to EVs. Strap in!
