In this weekend edition of Kilowatt, host Bodie breaks down the latest electric vehicle market developments, headline-grabbing concept reveals, and major software updates from Tesla. The episode kicks off with a detailed look at MG's newly unveiled Go! concept car, a punchy two-door hatchback shown off at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Regional market numbers reveal significant EV adoption growth across France, Germany, and the UK, with the Tesla Model Y, Renault 5, and VW ID.3 dominating registration charts. On the Tesla front, Elon Musk announced plans to open-source the designs and software for the Model S and Model X, while new job postings point toward potential Robotaxi expansions in South America. Tesla also pulled off a massive $1.95 billion AI hardware acquisition and is preparing to ship its feature-rich 2026 Summer Update. Key software additions include specialized traction control modes for the Model 3 and Model Y, enhanced Grok voice control, adaptive routine navigation, and interactive Caraoke scoring.
