Description
Bodie covers BYD’s new Han EV, Rivian’s acquisition of Third Dimension, and the best-selling EVs in the United States through the third quarter of 2026. The sales countdown highlights Tesla’s share of the market and a few surprising entries. Tesla news includes canceled Cybertruck plans for Australia and New Zealand, an updated app for larger screens, and a planned option for bigger touchscreen text. Bodie also discusses the Hardware 3 upgrade question Tesla skipped during its earnings call and why owners who paid for Full Self-Driving need a clearer explanation of what comes next. The episode wraps up with Ferrstron’s prototype electric powertrain using ferrite magnets and its potential to reduce reliance on rare earth materials. Bodie also recommends the Car Stuff Podcast’s conversation with Jennifer Newman about car seat safety.Support the Show
