Tom opened up the show by admitting he has—again—forgotten his notes. Not to worry, as the conversation quickly turned to Tesla’s marketplace woes, including declining U.S. sales, and reports of a Cybertruck “stop sale,” ordered by the company, coming as a result of body parts falling off of the truck at speed. 

Jill reviewed the 2025 Toyota Sienna minivan, which has been freshened for the model year, and is offered in a new “woodsy” trim level. 

In the second segment, the hosts welcome Jeff Allwine of Coco Mats to the show. Jeff walked Jill and Tom through the company’s history. Coco Mats produces premium floor mats for all makes and models, but caters especially to classic cars including vintage Porsche 911s, and Mercedes-Benz models. 

In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom’s “Which is Premiumer?” quiz.
