Description:

In this episode, we dive deep into Tesla’s long-promised Cybercab as production reportedly begins and Elon Musk claims a sub-$30,000 price tag could arrive this year. We examine conflicting narratives around Tesla’s robotaxi progress, including sharp criticism of the program eight months in and fresh timeline promises. Tesla’s software push continues with Grok-enabled navigation in Europe and a renewed FSD launch in China backed by a local data center. Meanwhile, Tesla faces mounting pressure overseas, with UK sales plunging as BYD surges ahead and broader EV market share slipping despite overall auto growth. Legacy automakers aren’t sitting still either—Ford is lobbying for access to Chinese EV tech, while BYD and Geely eye major North American production capacity. We also cover Polestar’s aggressive expansion plans, Cruise’s admission over a false pedestrian report, and the evolving EV policy and infrastructure conversation in Manitoba.
