Loved the episode! Ward was the perfect guest for this podcast, and while I like the celebrities, I would love to see more people from the industry featured. One quick correction. Leather is a COproduct, not a byproduct. It is the single most expensive part of an animal and is as much a part of the bottom line as any other part of the animal. High demands for leather contributes to and helps support the meat industry which is a huge cause for climate change and pollution. I love that he supports green methods of processing and tanning the leather, but beyond that, further greenwashing it is just marketing bullshittery. I don't love the alternative of using more plastics though. Maybe down the line he can use some of that new fangled pineaple or mushroom leather that's popping up.
I want a small simple EV pickup with crank windows. The only way I could have that is to win the lottery and pay Jonathan or EV West to do it. Vehicles don't give me any more hope than most other aspects of the world right now.
@@ICON4x4Design you cut 1/3 of the cars charm. It's no different than LS swapping everything. To LS Swap everything is boring too. Raw speed doesn't fully replace character.
Jonathan Ward is just about the coolest dude. I could hear him talk for hours! Great guy!
Jonathan Ward is one of the coolest people in the automotive world in my opinion so I'm stoked for this.
This dude is just something else. Always enjoy hearing what he has to say.

by the huge viewing numbers, it is apparent that the "inevitability" is not driving any excitement.
Jonathan Ward is awesome! He should charge more money for his vehicles though.
Electric cars are boring
