The TTAC podcast is back, and we were aggressively Midwest this time around.
Former New Yorker turned (really, returned) Michigander Matt Posky and our Canadian news guru Matthew Guy sat this one out as we rotated in two other members of this merry band of madness — Chris Tonn and Corey Lewis. And we brought Robby DeGraff, an analyst from AutoPacific, on as a guest.
Longtime readers know I’m a Chicagoan, and Chris and Corey are Ohioans. Robby resides in the Great Land of Cheese, otherwise known as Wisconsin. Somehow, no one said “ope” during the hour.
We discussed the general state of the automotive industry, the state of the EV market, and small trucks. With some detours here and there, as always. Stick around past the final curtain to hear us talking about BMW’s propensity to overcharge for options.
One tech note: I know my mic sounds a bit less clear than the others. I have a podcast mic, so I am not sure what the issue is, but we’ll keep working to get the audio mix better.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for listening. Click here, or the link above, to listen.

@Matt, you decided to leave NYC and you chose…. Michigan?
“You’re doing it wrong.”
:-)
We’ll see where I ultimately settle down. I’ve done heaps of traveling, lived a lot of very different places (though primarily NYC and my native MI), and learned that everything is tradeoff. Snow is good. Forests are good. Deserts are good. Cities are good. Towns are good. They’re just not always good, or good in the same ways, and have varying rules we all have to pretend to follow.
My last days could be back in a dense urban environment or completely isolated in nature. So long as I have access to wheels, it’ll be groovy. But I’ll take any suggestions on idyllic places to reside you want to pass along.
The best place to live is where you friends are.
Disclaimer: When I was talking about shopping used cars I *said* 2019 but meant 2021. Specifically July-Oct 2021, after I sold the Golf.
Happy the podcast is back, less thrilled with the EV talk…Will you guys be posting the podcast to spotify soon? Cant find it on there
