  • Interesting take on the electrification topic

    As an avid car enthusiast, I am always interested in how the masses embrace the different vehicle options available for both, transportation and leisure. Cars are an important part of many societies, and many people don’t understand how important it is to ensure that customers are happy with their purchase, but also the responsibility on manufacturing safe vehicles. Safety for the passengers, in the unfortunate case of accidents, as well as making them better for the environment.

S7E48 – How Vaughn Gittin Jr. & RTR Brought the 2026 Ford Mustang RTR to Life
Q: What specific do you bring into this recipe, let's say?
He describes RTR and Ford's collaborative work on the Mustang RTR, including chassis stiffness and adjustability, anti-lag, improved cooling, stability control to support drivers learning car control, and jointly developed wheels, interior details, graphics, and styling.
S7E48 – How Vaughn Gittin Jr. & RTR Brought the 2026 Ford Mustang RTR to Life
Q: Tell us a little bit about that, because I really love how you brought in your father's story, everything.
Gittin says his father was a hot rodder who took him to drag strips and street races, and that cars captivated him from childhood. He later became interested in Mustang and developed a vision for a new generation of the car.
S7E50 - From 4 BMWs to a 2027 Rivian R2: One Owner’s EV Leap
Q: How did you approach the learning curve and range anxiety when switching from a gas car to an EV?
He considered his driving needs first. Because he drives fewer than 10 miles on an average day, charging and range were not major concerns. Longer trips require checking charger locations and planning ahead.
S7E50 - From 4 BMWs to a 2027 Rivian R2: One Owner’s EV Leap
Q: Why did you decide on a Rivian?
He liked Rivian's vision and design, and felt its vehicles retained a tactile, distinctive character rather than feeling like appliances. He did not enjoy Tesla's styling and interior feel.
S7E40: The Auto Industry Is in Crisis—Is It Time to Walk Away?
Q: What does this mean for consumers interested in EVs?
Consumers may face higher prices and less predictable availability in the near term, but broader EV adoption could be driven by policy shifts, price dynamics, and charging infrastructure improvements in the coming years.
