Episode 571: FSD v14 Lite (Hardware 3) First Impressions

I got to experience the long-awaited FSD v14 Lite for the older Hardware 3 cars, and I want to tell you all about it. Plus: the Model Y gets a "cool" new accessory, California offers up a new EV incentive, the US market gets a very affordable new EV (but there's a catch), and more! Oh, and if you'd like to watch the FSD v14 (AI4) vs. FSD v14 Lite (HW3) comparison video I did with Tesla Raj, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31aHojmgMEc If you enjoy the podcast and would like to support my efforts, please check out my Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/teslapodcast and consider a monthly or (10% discounted!) annual pledge.
