Listen Later

Description:

In this episode of Kilowatt, we explore the latest developments in the electric vehicle industry, along with a behind-the-scenes look at the podcast production process. Lucid Motors opens a new manufacturing plant in Saudi Arabia, aiming to dramatically increase production capacity and expand its global footprint. Toyota makes waves with continued solid-state battery development alongside a Japanese oil partner, while also preparing to launch a fully electric three-row Highlander. On the Tesla front, we examine declining buyer loyalty numbers, comparing recent figures to Tesla’s remarkable 98% loyalty rate in 2020, and discuss what may be driving the shift. Finally, we break down the latest Tesla Semi pricing and specifications, including new cost details revealed through state filings and how the truck stacks up against diesel competitors. The episode wraps with reflections on streamlining the show while continuing to deliver meaningful, timely EV coverage.
