I guess my NDA has expired now that it’s been released but, yes, I was a part of the Gorman Massacre. A whole month’s filming TWO YEARS AGO!

But what if I told you, dear dealer, that there’s a whole category of vehicles on existing dealer lots that need to be approached in exactly the same way as an EV to score a successful sale that you’re already familiar with?
