From our perspective, if customers want to run on snowflake for their Data Warehouse on top

Biggest challenge early on was getting back so that we could make vehicles. We had a lot of work to do to make sure we took all the necessary precautions, learned lessons from china, korea, from our work in making ventilators and masks, and putting that to practice to bring people back to build vehicles. I am proud of how will the team adapted to working from home, and our dealers who have been great partners, going mostly online for the sales process, and developing a clean delivery system.
