Tim reacts to a news quote from a Bentley CEO blaming soft sales on customers' emotional sensitivity about showing off wealth during a recession, arguing rich people don't actually care, and riffing on hating electric cars.
- Bentley CEO blames low sales on emotionally sensitive clients not wanting to show off nice cars during a recession.
- Tim argues there's always been a recession during his entire life, so the excuse makes no sense.
- Rich people don't care what others think about their cars and won't downgrade to a Camry for anyone's comfort.
- Actual reason for Bentley's decline is probably crime and car theft, not emotional sensitivity about wealth display.
- People simply aren't into luxury cars anymore, regardless of the CEO's justification.
- Tim still sees plenty of Bentleys in Miami, Beverly Hills, and Long Island despite the sales slump.
- Electric cars feel cheap inside and seem like something teachers would drive.
