This week we will discuss the updated Hyundai Kona Electric, as well as a petition sent to GM asking the automaker to commit to building its promised $30,000 version of the Equinox EV, and new details on Toyota's next-generation EVs. We'll even talk about two new electric vehicle records that are truly amazing.

On the Tesla front, we'll discuss the suspected arson of Model Ys in Frankfurt, the recent Semi range tests, and even the teardown of a BYD Seal and how that relates to the Model 3. Lastly, we'll talk more about our time in the new Model 3.

This week we will discuss our first drive of the new Tesla Model 3. We will also dive into several new EV debuts, including the Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally, Mercedes Concept CLA-Class, Smart #3, Mini Cooper and Countryman EVs, and even a very fast Zeekr. There's a Lotus EV debut too.

Appearing on this episode are guest hosts Jeff Perez, Managing Editor of Motor1, InsideEVs and contributor Kevin Williams, as well as Laycee “Miss GoElectric,” and Hazel Southwell. 

This week the gang talks about the impact of fast charging versus slow charging and the relation to battery degradation. Of course we will discuss the debut of the new Tesla Model 3. We'll also highlight some recent Tesla price cuts and discuss Elon Musk's demonstration of FSD V12. Additional Fisker Pear info will be covered, as well as our first drive of the dual-motor Rivian R1T.
