That's the feeling the best product marketing creates: "here's what we sell" ❌ "here's life with/without us" ✅

(1) Keep it ruthlessly short with 3 sentences max. (2) Skip the opener to lead with value. (3) Wait for a signal since +90% of your prospects aren’t interested at a given time.

Prospects aren't impressed we pay $199/mo a tool to stalk and repeat back what it learns. Brevity = Credibility

"In an ideal scenario, each driver would arrive with a warm battery so the car could immediately begin fast charging, instead of using the charger to heat the battery for up to 30 minutes. However, it sounds like it was a perfect storm in Chicago.”

Main coffee grinder is so loud so I wrote this for @DEWALTtough 😉 As my infant sleeps, I dare make a peep. But with only one free stand Must get my coffee in hand. So unplug the grinder default And turn to DeWalt. Fear not resting babe, Daddy's caffeine is made.

The weather this time of year is a "tricky b***h" according to my wife, which is the new name for early spring. 1️⃣ Never as warm outside as it looks 2️⃣ Reaches the day's high temp at 4pm for 20 min before sun sets

Snow mode in @Rivian R1T worked great in -8F and 4" of packed snow. Add to that better preconditioning and seat heating controls in the app = 👌

Rivian's recall service appointment was completed in my driveway in 6 min Every step of the process was easy - waited on hold <5 min and never left home - so good work @Rivian 🔧

We stopped nearly all of our advertising on FB in 2022, in part because I suspected that the platform confused "people who leave angry comments on posts about electric vehicles" with "people who like electric vehicles." One is an interest target. The other is wasted money.

So I got a good laugh seeing this from someone who leaves angry comments on posts about electric vehicles: "Interacting with EV content will make even more show up because Facebook interprets it as interest. You’re doomed to be stalked by EV now."
