Podcasts about Tesla Model Y

Australia's EV market has delivered its biggest month yet, with electric cars reaching more than 20 per cent market share and the Tesla Model Y becoming the country's best-selling vehicle. Plus, first impressions of Cadillac's new electric SUVs, and the latest EV news.

In this episode of Kilowatt, host Bodie clears out a massive news queue before heading into a well-deserved family break. We dive deep into Tesla's self-certification of Level 4 autonomous vehicles in Texas, its dedicated new Robotaxi hub, and the real data behind its actual fleet size. Meanwhile, BYD announces a groundbreaking policy to accept full crash liability when its "God's Eye" driver-assist system is active, and Waymo officially begins testing its next-gen, purpose-built Ojai robotaxis in the US.  Support the Show Support Kilowatt Other Podcasts: Beyond the Post YouTube Beyond the Post Podcast Shuffle Playlist 918Digital Website News Links: InsideEVs: Lucid Is Recalling Its Cheapest EV Because It May Lose Power While Driving Electrek: Texas adds another huge solar farm as ERCOT grid demand soars CleanTechnica: BYD Takes On Crash Liability When Its Driver-Assist System Is Active!

After a Tesla Cybertruck recall earlier this month warned of wheels potentially falling off vehicles, the latest recall to hit the electric vehicle maker is fairly inconsequential by comparison.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently released a recall notice potentially impacting 14,575 Tesla Model Y vehicles that might be missing a sticker. Some of those vehicles, model years 2025 and 2026, may not have received a certification label with weight specifications, which the agency warned may lead customers overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.The problem arose in April when Tesla discovered a vehicle with a missing certification label during a routine internal audit of its Fremont factory in California. The company figured out that its automated vision-scanning tool that verifies the presence of a “properly affixed” certification label wasn't doing its job very well.The Fremont factory team fixed the automated scanning tool and implemented additional manual checks, secondary measures that were also adopted at Tesla's Gigafactory in Texas.

Send us Fan MailA month after buying a pre-owned Tesla Model Y, the honeymoon phase turns into something more useful: real-world lessons you only learn once you're charging, commuting, and living with the car day after day. We talk honestly about what we love so far, what surprised us, and what we wish we knew earlier, especially for anyone shopping the electric vehicle market because gas prices keep climbing.We get into the everyday experience first, including why we chose to tint the windows and how the Model Y's glass-heavy design changes visibility and comfort. Then we dig into safety and driver awareness, because the Tesla alert style feels different than other newer cars we drive, with fewer beeps and warnings unless you're already close. If you're comparing vehicles, this is the kind of detail that can matter as much as range or acceleration.From there, it's all about the money and the setup. We share what charging costs looked like before we had home charging, how much we've spent so far, and why installing an EV wall connector can be the biggest “welcome to EV ownership” moment, especially in an older home. We walk through the install options, why we picked the permanent route that required digging and running lines outside, and why we chose a Tesla-certified electrician for peace of mind. We also break down Tesla subscription costs like connectivity and the self-driving trial, plus why a $100/month assisted driving price can feel steep if you only want it for road trips.If you're thinking about a Tesla, a Model Y, or any EV with home charging, this is a grounded look at total cost of ownership, charging routines, and the little decisions that make EV life easier.

Fuel's up 70% and EV orders have tripled, so Jase did the numbers on what switching actually costs. The per-kilometre gap between petrol and electric is ten to one, and if you salary sacrifice an EV through your business, the FBT exemption stacks another $10K-$15K a year on top. If you're thinking about making the switch, this is the one to listen to. On this episode, we discuss: (00:00) Intro (00:47) Strait of Hormuz Disruption and Diesel Up 70% (02:29) 300% Increase in EV Orders Since the Fuel Spike (03:45) $0.22/km Petrol vs $0.02/km Electric Running Costs (05:12) $46,000 vs $10,000 on Fuel Over Five Years (07:03) Why Jase Ordered a Tesla Model Y (08:41) How the FBT Exemption Works for Electric Vehicles (10:15) Salary Sacrificing an EV and Saving $10K-$15K a Year (12:30) Battery Electric Only Since April 2025, Plug-In Hybrids Out (14:02) Government Review and the Risk It Gets Pulled (16:18) Tesla Drops to $20K Resale vs Hilux Holding $40K-$50K (18:05) When to Buy and When to Wait (20:12) How This Ties Back to the Productivity and Tax Episode (22:30) Final Verdict on Whether the Numbers Stack Up Check out the free resources from Inovayt here.

Send us Fan MailBuying a car is usually a long day, a lot of waiting, and at least one conversation you don't want to have. This time, it turned into a late-night decision on a website, a $500 deposit, and a process so fast it honestly felt fake for a minute. We're catching up on real life first: new jobs in the house, travel on the calendar, and the sprint to the end of the school year while I figure out how to keep summer fun when my schedule changes. From there, I walk you through what pushed us from “maybe someday” to “we're doing this” with a pre-owned Tesla Model Y. I share why being inside a Tesla matters more than reading about it, how we filtered inventory to find the exact look and features we wanted, and what surprised me most about Tesla's no-dealership approach. Then we get practical. I break down the online steps, what happens after you place the deposit, how financing can come back in seconds, and why the Tesla app is basically the command center for paperwork, delivery scheduling, and even driving access. I also talk about the learning curve, especially one-pedal driving and how different an EV can feel in traffic, plus why “do your research first” is the best gift you can give yourself before pickup day. If you're EV-curious, shopping for a Tesla, or just tired of the traditional dealership model, this is the kind of firsthand story that helps you decide what you'd do.

In this episode of the Turn Down For Watt Podcast, we break down the Q1 EV sales data and the reality of today's EV market. The numbers don't lie — demand is soft, many models are down big year over year, and the gap between Tesla and everyone else is still massive.That leads to the big question: Can the Rivian R2 save 2026?We're joined by special guests including Jose from Rivian Tracker, Zak from the Bay Area Rivian Club, and Travis Ketchum to dig into:

Hace semanas que tengo instalada en mi Model Y la nueva tira LED de Enhauto, un accesorio con muchas opciones de iluminación inteligente para nuestro coche. Funciones como iluminar los extremos cuando ponemos los intermitentes, avisos visuales del Autopilot, avisos de límites de velocidad, luz de bienvenida a lo KITT y mucho más son las que permite este gran accesorio.

Stellantis ticketing employees for parking a rival-brand car at headquarters is the kind of story that sounds petty until you realize what it reveals about modern car culture and workplace control. We react to the reported policy, the fines, and the “wrong spot” rules, then connect it to other brand-loyalty pressure we've seen at manufacturers and even at dealerships where driving anything else meant a long walk from the back of the lot. It's a real question for any auto worker: should your employer get a vote in what you drive? Then we jump into a hands-on 2026 Chevy Equinox EV review, focusing on what matters to electric SUV shoppers. We talk trims, the RS styling, the sharp exterior design, and the interior tech that's actually easy to use. We also cover the details people search for when comparing EVs: horsepower and torque, towing limits, ride and handling, MPGe versus kWh, and the EPA-rated 319-mile range. If you're cross-shopping the Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5, or Tesla Model Y, we put the Equinox EV pricing and real-world livability in context. We close with a small moment that every driver can relate to: discovering a steering wheel button you never knew existed, and why so many modern controls feel like guesswork.

Snap-on may be the headline brand, but it's not the only way to build a serious mechanic tool setup. We walk through the tool brands professional mechanics reach for when they want strong build quality, fair pricing, and a warranty that actually helps when something breaks. Along the way, we talk about what “premium tools” really means in a working garage, and why availability and easy replacement can matter more than status.We also get honest about the kind of buyer pain that never shows up in a catalog: the lifetime warranty that turns into a dead end. From a torque wrench that won't lock to the reality of ownership changes and manufacturing shifts, we share why researching warranty process and support is part of smart tool buying. If you're searching for the best Snap-on alternatives, best mechanic tool brands, or how to build a toolkit on a budget, this segment is built for you.Then we switch gears into pure car culture and driving destinations with seven national hot rod events to put on your calendar, from Goodguys shows and Pigeon Forge to the Woodward Dream Cruise. We close with a detailed 2026 Chevy Equinox EV review, covering trims, styling, interior tech, MPGe efficiency talk, range expectations, and how it stacks up against rivals like the Tesla Model Y, Mustang Mach-E, and Hyundai Ioniq 5. If you enjoyed this mix of tools, road trips, and real-world car reviews, subscribe, share the show with a fellow car person, and leave us a rating and review.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Te vamos a contar toda la verdad en 2026. ¿Es cierto que un fallo en la batería significa el fin de la vida útil de un coche eléctrico? Esta es la pregunta del millón que frena a muchos compradores y quita el sueño a otros tantos. La creencia popular dice que cualquier avería en el acumulador de energía implica un gasto de 20.000 euros o el desguace inmediato, pero la realidad técnica y financiera es mucho más compleja y, afortunadamente, más optimista. La anatomía de la "caja negra" Para entender si una batería se puede reparar, primero hay que saber qué hay dentro. No estamos ante un bloque sólido e indivisible. Una batería de tracción se compone de tres niveles: las celdas (la unidad mínima), los módulos (agrupaciones de celdas) y el pack (el conjunto total con su carcasa, refrigeración y el cerebro electrónico o BMS). En la mayoría de los casos, "reparar" consiste en identificar el módulo defectuoso y sustituirlo, evitando el coste astronómico de cambiar el pack completo. La economía de la reparación La decisión de reparar no es solo técnica, es puramente financiera. En 2026, los precios de las baterías han bajado significativamente, rondando los 130-150 €/kWh. Por ejemplo, una batería nueva de un Renault ZOE puede costar unos 7.500 €, mientras que la de un VW ID.4 sube hasta los 16.500 €. Si la sustitución de un módulo ronda los 2.000 €, el ahorro es evidente. Sin embargo, hay que tener en cuenta el "State of Health" (SOH) o estado de salud general. Si el resto de la batería está muy degradado, poner un módulo nuevo es inútil, ya que se descompensará rápidamente con los antiguos. Arquitectura y reparabilidad: No todos los coches son iguales Aquí es donde los fabricantes toman caminos distintos. El diseño del coche determina si la reparación es sencilla o una pesadilla: -BMW i3: Un ejemplo de diseño inteligente con 8 módulos independientes y accesibles. -Grupo Hyundai/Kia: Su plataforma E-GMP permite sustituir secciones con relativa facilidad, bajando costes de mano de obra. -Tesla (Model Y con celdas 4680): El polo opuesto. Al usar baterías estructurales rellenas de resina (foam) para dar rigidez, la reparación es prácticamente imposible. Si falla, se cambia el pack entero. -Toyota y Lexus: Especialistas en longevidad, sus baterías de níquel-metal hidruro son las más reparadas del mundo gracias a su sencillez. Curiosidades y el futuro del sector El debate sobre la reparación no es nuevo. Ya en 1900, el Lohner-Porsche (el primer híbrido) sufría con sus pesadas baterías de plomo. Hoy, vemos fenómenos como los "Tesla resucitados" en Europa del Este, donde mecánicos expertos y hackers consiguen reparar packs que la propia marca da por perdidos, "engañando" al software para devolver los coches a la carretera. Mirando al futuro, las baterías de estado sólido prometen más autonomía, pero plantean un reto: al ser bloques sólidos, su reparabilidad podría ser nula. Por contra, gigantes como CATL están estandarizando módulos para que los talleres independientes puedan comprar recambios originales, lo que reduciría los costes de reparación hasta un 80%. ¿Cuándo es mejor no intentar la reparación? Existen tres escenarios donde lo más sensato es desistir: -Degradación uniforme: Si todas las celdas están agotadas por igual. -Daños por inundación: La corrosión interna por agua es un "cáncer" imposible de frenar en el litio. -Coste excesivo: Si la factura supera el 60% del valor venal del coche. En conclusión, reparar una batería es hoy una opción real y viable siempre que el fallo sea localizado y el resto del conjunto esté sano. La "muerte" de la batería ya no es el fin del coche, sino una avería importante pero gestionable dentro del nuevo ecosistema de la movilidad eléctrica.

Rivian has spent four years and billions of dollars building electric vehicles that most people cannot afford. The R2 — a mid-size SUV that starts at $45,000 and tops out at $57,990 — is the company's answer to that problem. Full pricing and trim details dropped today, 12 March 2026, and deliveries of the first Performance variant begin this spring. If it works, Rivian becomes a proper carmaker. If it does not, the maths gets ugly fast.From Concept to ConcreteThe R2 platform was first announced in 2022, with production originally pencilled in for 2025 at a planned factory in Georgia. That changed in March 2024, when RJ Scaringe, Rivian's founder and chief executive, unveiled the production-ready R2 alongside the smaller R3 and R3X crossovers at a packed event at the Rivian Theater in Laguna Beach, California. Mr Scaringe also confirmed he was scrapping the Georgia plan — at least for now — and would build the R2 at the existing Normal, Illinois plant instead. That decision saved more than $2.25 billion in capital expenditure and, crucially, pulled the launch date forward.Within 24 hours of its unveiling, Rivian had taken more than 68,000 reservations at $100 apiece. By July 2024, the company's VP of manufacturing Tim Fallon said reservations had surpassed 100,000 and were still climbing. Rivian has not updated that figure publicly since.Production began in January 2026. Validation vehicles rolled off the Normal line first, and the factory is now ramping toward a target capacity of 155,000 R2 units per year — alongside the R1 models it already builds there. Each R2 takes roughly 15 hours to assemble, down from 18 hours for an R1.Why the R2 Matters More Than Any Vehicle Rivian Has BuiltThe R1T pickup and R1S SUV earned Rivian a devoted following and the top spot in Consumer Reports owner satisfaction surveys. They also bled money. Rivian posted a net loss of $3.65 billion in 2025, on top of a $4.75 billion loss in 2024. The R1S starts near $75,000 (around £59,000) — a price that limits the addressable market to a sliver of American buyers."R2 is really instrumental for driving the business to positive cash flow and overall profitability," Mr Scaringe told CNBC in February. He was not exaggerating. The bill of materials for the R2 is roughly half that of the R1. Rivian slashed the number of computing units from over 60 in a traditional vehicle to seven, and cut wiring length by about two miles (3.2 km). The result is what Mr Scaringe called "a dramatic reduction in the cost structure to build it."Rivian did scrape together a positive gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 — a milestone, though the margin was wafer-thin at around 2%, compared with Tesla's 17%. The R2, with its leaner architecture and lower price, is meant to close that gap at volume. Analysts expect around 15,000 R2 deliveries in 2026, though some believe Rivian could exceed that figure. By 2027, with three full shifts running, the Normal plant could produce roughly 155,000 R2s annually.Today's Pricing: What You GetThe lineup spans four trims, all sharing an 87.9 kWh usable battery and a $1,495 destination charge. Here is how they break down:The Performance trim arrives first, this spring, at $57,990 (around £46,000) including the Launch Package. It runs dual-motor all-wheel drive with 656 horsepower, 609 lb-ft (826 Nm) of torque and a 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) time of 3.6 seconds. Highway overtaking is savage: 50–70 mph (80–113 km/h) in 1.55 seconds. EPA-estimated range sits at up to 330 miles (531 km). The Launch Package bundles lifetime Autonomy+ access, a tow package rated at 4,400 lbs (1,996 kg) and an exclusive Launch Green paint option.The Premium trim follows in late 2026 at $53,990 (around £43,000). It shares the 330-mile range and dual-motor AWD layout but dials the power back to 450 hp and 537 lb-ft. Zero to 60 takes 4.6 seconds — hardly slow.The Standard RWD Long Range arrives in the first half of 2027 at $48,490 (around £38,500). A single rear motor delivers 350 hp and 355 lb-ft, reaching 60 in 5.9 seconds. Rivian estimates range at up to 345 miles (555 km) — the longest in the lineup, because rear-wheel drive is more efficient.Finally, the Standard RWD variant lands in late 2027 at approximately $45,000 (around £35,700). It uses a smaller battery pack and offers 275+ miles (443+ km) of estimated range. Rivian has shared few other details so far.All trims charge from 10% to 80% in 29 minutes via a native NACS port, which grants access to the Tesla Supercharger network. CCS adapters are supported too.Built Lighter, Built TougherThe R2 rides on an entirely new mid-size unibody platform — a departure from the R1's body-on-frame architecture. The result is a vehicle that weighs nearly 2,000 lbs (907 kg) less than its bigger sibling while sitting on a 115.6-inch (2,936 mm) wheelbase. At 185.9 inches (4,722 mm) long and 75 inches (1,905 mm) wide, it is squarely in Tesla Model Y territory.The weight savings translate directly into agility, but Rivian has kept the off-road DNA intact. Ground clearance of 9.6 inches (244 mm) is best in class — nearly three inches more than a Model Y. Approach and departure angles of 25° and 26° respectively, plus a wading depth of 19.7 inches (500 mm), mean the R2 can do more than look adventurous in a car park. The Performance trim gets semi-active suspension, eight drive modes including Rally and Soft Sand, and a low centre of gravity courtesy of the structural battery pack.Inside, the cabin seats five adults with 40.4 inches (1,026 mm) of rear legroom and headroom — enough, Rivian says, for occupants over six feet (1.83 m) tall. Total enclosed storage is 90.1 cubic feet (2,551 litres), with a front trunk that swallows a carry-on suitcase and a backpack, fold-flat rear seats that create a level loading surface, and dual gloveboxes. The rear drop glass — a powered window that lowers completely into the liftgate — is a genuine talking point, allowing surfboards and other long cargo to slide in or a breeze to sweep through. It is included on Performance and Premium trims.Materials lean sustainable: upcycled Birch wood accents, a headliner made from recycled ocean plastics and Rivian's second-generation Adventex material, which is designed to withstand muddy boots and wet dogs in equal measure.The Technology PlayRivian calls the R2 a "software-defined vehicle," and the specification sheet backs that up. The perception stack comprises 11 HDR cameras with a combined 65 megapixels and a five-radar system — hardware that comes standard on every trim.Rivian Autonomy+, the company's Level 2+ hands-free driver-assist system, covers 3.5 million miles (5.6 million km) of roads across the United States and Canada. It costs $49.99 per month or $2,500 as a one-off purchase. The Launch Package includes it for the lifetime of the vehicle. Every R2 gets a 60-day trial.On-board AI compute runs to 200 TOPS, dedicated to the in-cabin experience. This powers the forthcoming Rivian Assistant — a voice-controlled system that processes complex requests locally, even when offline. The 5G-connected architecture ensures updates arrive over the air, while the offline capability means the vehicle is not hobbled in areas without signal.At the steering wheel, Rivian's in-house Haptic Halo dials replace conventional switchgear. These context-aware controls scroll, push, pull and tilt with distinct tactile feedback for different functions — an attempt to bridge the gap between touchscreen convenience and physical control that many rivals have abandoned entirely. Two digital displays complete the cockpit: one behind the wheel for driving data, and one in the centre for everything else.The Elephant in the Room: TeslaThe R2 lands in the most contested segment of the electric vehicle market. The Tesla Model Y — the best-selling EV on the planet and briefly the best-selling car of any kind in 2023 — starts at $44,000 in the United States and delivers up to 357 miles (575 km) of range. It has a vast Supercharger network, a mature software ecosystem and years of manufacturing refinement behind it.The R2 fights back with 3 inches (7.6 cm) more ground clearance, genuine off-road hardware, a richer interior (Model Y's cabin has always divided opinion) and that distinctive outdoor-adventure identity that Rivian has cultivated since its founding. Whether that is enough to prise buyers away from Tesla — or from the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Chevrolet Equinox EV — remains the central question.Why Failure Is Not an OptionRivian burned roughly $3 billion in the first nine months of 2025 alone. It ended 2024 with about $5.3 billion in cash, a figure being steadily eroded by capital expenditure and operating losses. The Volkswagen joint venture — worth up to $5.8 billion in total — provides a lifeline, as does the potential for Department of Energy loan access. But lifelines do not last for ever.The company's stock tells its own story. Rivian went public in November 2021 at $78 a share, briefly touched $170 and now trades around $15. A 90% decline from the peak concentrates the mind wonderfully.The R2 must do three things at once: attract a materially larger customer base than the R1 ever could, generate a positive gross margin per vehicle and ramp to volumes that spread fixed costs across enough units to bend the loss curve downward. At a planned capacity of 155,000 units per year from Normal alone — with a second factory in Georgia eventually to follow — Rivian has the industrial ambition. The Volkswagen partnership supplies software licensing revenue and engineering credibility.Mr Scaringe has described the R2 as "the most important thing that we've developed as a company." On the evidence of today's specification sheet, it is also the most complete. The range is competitive, the technology is ambitious, the price is within reach of mainstream buyers and the off-road capability gives it a personality that few electric SUVs can match.None of which will matter if Rivian cannot build it at scale, on time and at a cost that leaves room for profit. The company that once dazzled Wall Street with a $170 share price now needs to dazzle customers with a $45,000 truck. That is the harder trick — and the one on which everything depends.

On today's episode of Quick Charge, a new lawsuit alleges that Tesla was negligent in retaining Elon Musk as CEO, comparing him to a fast-talking salesman and questioning his input into engineering and safety decisions at the struggling EV brand. Plus, we explore the executive exodus at Tesla that began in mid 2024, ask why Tesla cars equipped with FSD are driving people into lakes and through railroad crossings, then take a look at the Rivian R2 and upcoming, mid-sized Tesla Model Y "killers" from Lucid. Are these the most credible threats to Tesla's Model Y dominance in America's EV market, yet, or will Tesla's "negligent" CEO come through on his AI-powered promises?

This week on China EVs & More, Tu and Lei break down one of the biggest developments of the year in the global EV industry: BYD's massive technology reset and charging breakthrough.  Facing slowing domestic sales and intensifying competition in China's brutal EV price war, BYD responded with a sweeping announcement: a second-generation Blade Battery, ultra-fast 1500 kW flash charging, and plans to build 20,000 ultra-fast charging stations to support it. The message was clear—BYD intends to stay ahead of rivals like CATL, Geely, and Tesla by pushing the technological frontier.Tu and Lei unpack what this means for China's EV ecosystem, including how ultra-fast charging could challenge battery swapping models and reshape charging infrastructure globally.The episode also explores the widening gap between China's hyper-competitive EV market and the West, where Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y still dominate despite limited product updates. They discuss why Tesla remains the benchmark in autonomy and software—even as Chinese OEMs rapidly close the gap with AI-driven platforms and advanced ADAS systems.Other topics include:The scale of China's EV price war and BYD's strategy to regain momentumRoboSense becoming a major LiDAR supplier for BYD's new vehiclesWhy legacy automakers are struggling to keep pace with Chinese EV innovationThe rise of ultra-affordable EVs like the Geely XingyuanAnd how EV ownership experiences differ dramatically between China and the United StatesWith Tu now on his second EV and Lei about to take delivery of his first Tesla Model Y, the hosts also share real-world perspectives on EV ownership, charging infrastructure, and autonomy features.Fast-moving, analytical, and sometimes provocative, this episode captures the moment when the EV industry's center of gravity continues shifting toward China EV Inc.__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Autonomous vehicle technology has moved past human-coded rules and into an era of neural networks and custom computer chips. And to solve the most difficult driving scenarios, electric vehicle company Rivian abandoned its original technology platform to build a vertically integrated data stack. Sarah Guo sits down with Rivian Founder and CEO RJ Scaringe to explore the seismic shift in the automotive industry toward AI-driven, software-defined vehicles . RJ discusses the move away from function or domain-based architecture for vehicle electronic systems to software-defined architecture, which allows for dynamic, monthly updates to features in Rivian's vehicles. RJ also talks about the upcoming launch of Rivian's R2 model, which aims to be a distinct, affordable, mass-market alternative to the Tesla Model Y. Plus, RJ shares his vision for a future where vehicles don't just drive us, but inspire personal freedom and exploration. Sign up for new podcasts every week.
