    I enjoyed watching that video. Always interesting to hear other peoples points of view, especially the background history from the conversion guy.

    (although the mic needs a windmuff next time !)




    Martin Eberhard ? Ian Wright ? JB ? Blankenship ? … Henrik F ?

    If any of them would agree to a video interview, I'm sure there'd be plenty of questions from the forum.

    Not sure if Elons given any input to TMC, but it would be pretty cool to see him contribute in some way, even if musing about electric aircraft with PV-covered delta wings, or asking for Martian lab volunteers :biggrin:

    Good episode. Richard is an impressive guest.

    Also, didn't mean to sound like I was telling anyone off about CHAdeMO pronunciation. Meant only as constructive criticism.
    This week's attempt was better, though now, it sounds like cha-dae-mo. :-(

    I finally found an example of it spoken...click the link to YouTube video. It's forwarded to the proper spot. http://youtu.be/PRv6IXLYfUQ?t=18s

    Bugger - Ed. Begley Jr. had to re-schedule - filming for HBO over-ran. We'll re-schedule for later in the year.

    I think #99 was one of the best shows yet. Richard Lowenthal was great and fielded the questions very well. It was my second favourite show after #98, which was great apart from that annoying British bloke.

    (Ahem: ...I mean me of course, not Michael...)

    This was a fun episode; Chip Yates would wear out the Energizer Bunny with his enthusiasm and, he's been over 200mph.
