10:08 That should be called more of a record for production EVs. Already back then in 2022, Mercedes with EQXX drove over 1200 km on a single charge with average consumption 8.3kWh/100km.

Just thinking out loud - would Lucid and Rivan ever buy one another out to form a joint company?

I think if you said 'New Zealand' it my sound a bit more recognizable to some, and it is easier to say.

The news given here is good and the chapter indexing is great, but it's downgraded a lot by the the overall presentation style. It seems like a waste of money - outdated. This sort of "faux Fox News" virtual set feels like some kind of very tired video editing software preset - besides, very few people watch TV like that anymore really. The "vibe" is very wrong and the resulting content doesn't translate well to portrait mode for mobile users either.

It's just a single person's opinion of course, but I suggest letting your presenters speak more naturally rather than forcing them into this very awkward "I'm a 1990s newscaster" style. It sounds bad and does your great presenters an injustice - their own personalities are wonderful, so let them shine! Drop the distracting and pointless virtual sets, to bring your important content front-and-centre. It was a worthwhile experiment, but I think it should end here.
