Factory Flips and EV Trips

Description:In this episode, we celebrate the ninth anniversary of the Kilowatt podcast while reflecting on our 625th episode milestone. To mark the occasion, I'm re-releasing the inaugural episode alongside our latest news update, highlighting my journey in podcasting. We explore critical developments in the electric vehicle landscape, including the downfall of Lordstown Motors and its factory's transition to new ownership. We examine Rivian's lawsuit against Ohio's sales regulations and discuss GM's impressive claim of a world record for EV range amid Lucid's assertions. Additionally, we analyze Tesla's new partnership with LG for battery production and the ramifications of a recent court ruling requiring Tesla to pay damages for an autopilot-related crash. Throughout the discussion, I aim to provide a nuanced perspective on the EV industry's exciting advancements and ongoing challenges.Support the Showwww.supportkilowatt.comOther PodcastsBeyond the Post YouTubeBeyond the Post PodcastShuffle Playlist918Digital WebsiteNews LinksList of Tesla Autopilot crashes - WikipediaRivian is suing Ohio for a direct sales ban, and it lists Tesla as getting favoritism - TeslaratiFormer GM and Lordstown Motors Factory Being Sold Again, This Time By Foxconn - AutoblogFoxconn Is Selling The Lordstown Factory That Was Supposed To Make EVs - InsideEVsA Chevy Silverado EV Drove Over 1,000 Miles on a Single Charge - InsideEVsTesla to Appeal Verdict Over Fatal Crash - TeslaratiTesla Signs $4.3B LG Battery Deal to Boost U.S. Supply - AutoblogTesla Didn’t Maintain Autopilot Crash Records - Electrek*ART PROVIDED BY DALL-eSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/kilowatt.
