Autonomy, Affordability, and Angry Rants

Description:In this episode, Bodie dives into the latest EV headlines with his usual humor and insight. He discusses California’s potential plan to replace the federal EV tax credit with a state-level alternative, NIO's continued global expansion, and the striking redesign of the 2026 Nissan Leaf. The Nikola Motors saga continues with High Road Energy scooping up the company's remaining hydrogen trucks at a steep discount. Tesla news includes the arrival of CyberCab production equipment at Giga Texas, the debut of the Model YL in China (and its uncertain U.S. future), and a $10,000 price bump for the Model S and X, bundled with the Luxe Package. Bodhi caps the episode with an impassioned and entertaining rant about the realities of autonomous vehicle adoption.Support the Showwww.supportkilowatt.comOther Podcasts:Beyond the Post YouTubeBeyond the Post PodcastShuffle Playlist918Digital WebsiteFriends of the Show:True North EVsCNBC Slate FeatureLamarr WilsonNews Links:California Is Cooking Up A Way To Save The EV Tax CreditTesla Model Y L is Official: Price, New Features and Comparison to Model YTesla Model Y L addresses one huge complaint from many ownersElon Musk says Tesla might never bring its new Model YL to US, and the reason is so stupidNikola’s Orphaned Trucks Will Live On In California2026 Nissan Leaf Price Revealed: America’s Cheapest EVMore Tesla Cybercab equipment are arriving in Giga TexasNIO Enters 3 New Markets with Local Distribution PartnersTesla Introduces Luxe Package for Model S and Model X; Raises Price by $10k*ART PROVIDED BY DALL-eSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/kilowatt.
