For Millennials it's get out of school, find a job that has health care and can help pay off all this college debt, upgrade smartphone, pick the right online dating app, upgrade smartphone, find reasonable rent without a roommate, upgrade smartphone, buy a car, get married, buy a house, upgrade smartphone, have kids.

Millennials do have interest in cars, they simply buy them at a later point in life than we did.
Your posts are awesome because I used to work in Product Planning for another large automotive OEM where I spent a lot of time researching alternative powertains and electrification. It's refreshing to see someone else's posts from "in the know". You've brought out some key nuances that take me back and I just wanted to say thanks for your insights here.
