Description:

In this episode of Kilowatt, I explore key updates in the electric vehicle (EV) sector, beginning with a transition from Acast Plus to platforms like Supercast and Substack for listener support. I share my experience with QMerit for Level 2 charger installations, highlighting their growth amid increasing demand for home charging solutions. 

New entrant Slate Auto, rumored to be backed by Jeff Bezos, captures my attention with hints of a competitively priced pickup truck. I also discuss Elon Musk's ambitious RoboTaxi plans in Austin, recent Tesla Model Y shipments to Australia, and the company's pause on Model S and Model X orders in China due to tariffs.

Finally, I delve into the latest Cybertruck updates, including a new affordable trim and customer concerns about missing features. I invite listener opinions on these developments as we navigate the dynamic world of EVs together.
