Hey, guys. Welcome back to the podcast. Thank you so much for joining us, and thank you for joining us if you tuned into the live stream from COTA. We got back. It was exhausting and amazing, and we had a full sold-out event, and it was really a lot of fun.
Chance Hales· Guest0:14
It was.
Paul Schmucker· Host0:14
We got on track, and you have noticed that this is not Todd. Chance is joining me. I'm so grateful. Todd is furiously editing our Rivian R2 comparison piece because today is the day the embargo lifts, so hopefully you catch that. But he is editing. Meanwhile, Chance joins me. Welcome back, man.

Paul Schmucker· Host1:05
Okay.
Chance Hales· Guest1:05
Um, I mean, they will be gone. They're not yet, but they will be.
Paul Schmucker· Host1:08
Right, right.
Chance Hales· Guest1:08
And then I, I go through them all, look for the sharp ones. Then I edit those, and then sort those by car so that I can group them together and see, okay, well, now I've got six shots that look the same, so I'm gonna pick the best one of those.
Paul Schmucker· Host1:22
Okay.
Chance Hales· Guest1:22
