Toyota Just In Time, Elon Deletes Twitter, and Flying Motorcycles

Shoot us a Text.

We got a few recommendations for our newest podcast idea and are hunting for more! Today we talk about the future of flying vehicles, the influence of a ‘car guy,’ and Toyota recognizing the need for balanced inventory strategies. Did we mention we hit 10k podcast downloads yesterday!?!?

• Toyota adjusts inventory on hand targets
  • Target is now 30 days and they don’t plan on going back to 45
  • 17 days of inventory on March 1
  • “30 days sounds like nirvana” - CSO Bob Carter
  • 1st quarter sales down 15%
• Elon rejects Twitter board seat
  • Weekend barrage of suggestions, some of which are now deleted
    • Did someone say “screenshots live forever?”
• No longer can you push something off until “when cars fly”
  • ALI Technologies Inc. set for IPO
  • Drone style motorcycle reminiscent of a Star Wars machine
  • For only $777k, you can have one too!
