Talking Tesla Nation. This weeks show will be the final regular show of this podcast. We are forever humbled by your love and support throughout the years we have been doing this show. The plan is to potentially do special shows every so often when there is some exciting news to share and we just want to talk about it, but the regular weekly show you have come to expect is no more. We hope you enjoy this show and once again we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for listening to our show. It has been our pleasure to talk with you each week. Sincerely, Mel, Tom, Joel and RobertSupport the show

Mel, Robert and Tom are in studio this week and fired up! A few letters kick off the show and then there is discussion of V4 superchargers in the wild as well as the California ask for a credit card payment system to be added to SC in order to take advantage of a small grant. Some newly approved Alaskan drilling rounds out the show as well. Enjoy.Show Note are HERE Support the show

Robert and Joel are joined by Patreons and FSD beta users Michael Pastrone and Matt F Anthes-Washburn  - For this discussion of the current state of FSD beta and their hopes for improvements.  Matt lives near Beaverton Oregon and when he is not putting FSD Beta through its paces he’s hiking and surfing or pulling a camper with his  Performance Model 3.Michael lives in a sleepy bedroom community outside of Boston where he finds time to test FSD the areas cold and snowy weather. Michael has been on record saying he would let FSD drive his kids to school in his Long Range Model S. Support the show

Robert and Tom are at the helm this week and what a week it has been. The Super Bowl was all EV all the time, with a massive number of ads for EV's ran during the broadcast. Ford has shut down the F-150 "lightning" assembly line in the wake of some battery issues and Tesla is recalling 300,000 + vehicles for problems with FSD. Large scale solar projects are being piloted in California with the hope of someday covering the aqueduct in solar panels. All that and more on  this weeks show.

Joel, Robert and Tom are your hosts for Episode 260. The first episode of 2023 and it's a doozy (sp). A bit longer than usual as there is a lot going on in the world of Tesla and Elon. We discuss the final delivery numbers for 2022, spoiler alert, they are pretty good, but not great. There is a discussion about FSD...I know, I know it's enough already, but it's such a critical part of Tesla's future that we can't seem to help ourselves. We discuss the lack of female crash test dummies and the risk that poses to female drivers and passengers as a result, and a couple of companies that are working to rectify that major safety shortcoming of the auto industry. We hope you enjoy the show and please leave us a review on whatever platform you listen to us on. Show notes can be found HERESupport the show

One of our favorite things to do is ask google questions. This episode we might have gone a bit overboard on that. There is a discussion about Toyota and the initiation of a group to rethink it's EV strategy yet again, the third time is the charm. The Hyundai battery factory in Georgia and the usual tangent festival you've come to know and love. Apologies for Joels audio which is at times not good and at other times just bad. While Robert could not join us for the show he was able to send in a pretty amazing SC report and a media pick that is sure to delight. Enjoy the show.Notes can be found HERE Support the show

We discuss the the fact that Greece was 100% renewable powered for a short time recently, a super sized/super powerful wind turbine, Tesla opening services/sales/delivery centers in New Mexico despite state laws requiring independent dealerships, and a whole bunch more.

It's a trio of your favorite hosts this week as Robert is off saving lives yet again. The rest of the gang discusses charging. charging costs vs gasoline for road trips, charging standards and non Tesla's charging using the Supercharger network. Did I mention we discussed charging?  And as you might have guessed from the title we talked  a bit about space duty, or is it doody or maybe it's dooty? The way you spell it is your business, but discussing it is ours. At least it is this week. Enjoy.Show notes can be found HERESupport the show
