The Flintstone's Guide to FSD, Robotaxis and Cybercab

In this weekend edition of Kilowatt, I chat about a new production philosophy to balance his full-time commitments, shifting to flexible weekly and weekend editions. This Tesla-focused episode dives deep into the hardware blueprint of the highly anticipated CyberCab, highlighting its ultra-efficient powertrain, 48-volt architecture, 4680 battery cells, and an exclusive upgraded AI4+ FSD computer with expanded RAM capacity. Bodie provides critical context for emergency personnel by breaking down the newly released CyberCab First Responder Guide, mapping out the specific protocols, chocking requirements, and sensor modalities needed to safely disable Level 4 autonomous mode on active scenes. The episode also tracks the expansion of Tesla's autonomous footprint with new unsupervised deployments in Miami and supervised networks in New Orleans. Finally, the show analyzes California's controversial new $135 million EV incentive structure, discusses a teased Grok assistant integration for precise driveway navigation, and breaks down an industry analyst's prediction that full self-driving is rapidly approaching its historic "iPhone moment."
