Talking Tesla Nation. This weeks show will be the final regular show of this podcast. We are forever humbled by your love and support throughout the years we have been doing this show. The plan is to potentially do special shows every so often when there is some exciting news to share and we just want to talk about it, but the regular weekly show you have come to expect is no more. We hope you enjoy this show and once again we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for listening to our show. It has been our pleasure to talk with you each week. 

Sincerely, 
Mel, Tom, Joel and Robert

Robert and Tom are at the helm this week and what a week it has been. The Super Bowl was all EV all the time, with a massive number of ads for EV's ran during the broadcast. Ford has shut down the F-150 "lightning" assembly line in the wake of some battery issues and Tesla is recalling 300,000 + vehicles for problems with FSD. Large scale solar projects are being piloted in California with the hope of someday covering the aqueduct in solar panels. All that and more on  this weeks show.

Joel, Robert and Tom are your hosts for Episode 260. The first episode of 2023 and it's a doozy (sp). A bit longer than usual as there is a lot going on in the world of Tesla and Elon. We discuss the final delivery numbers for 2022, spoiler alert, they are pretty good, but not great. There is a discussion about FSD...I know, I know it's enough already, but it's such a critical part of Tesla's future that we can't seem to help ourselves. We discuss the lack of female crash test dummies and the risk that poses to female drivers and passengers as a result, and a couple of companies that are working to rectify that major safety shortcoming of the auto industry. We hope you enjoy the show and please leave us a review on whatever platform you listen to us on.
