The EV industry is evolving fast and so are the biggest automotive and technology festivals in America. On this episode of the Turn Down For Watt Podcast, we sit down with BJ Birtwell, founder of Electrify Expo and the newly expanded Demo Days Festival, to discuss why one of the nation's largest EV-focused touring events is transforming into a massive future mobility festival featuring EVs, hybrids, robotics, Tesla Optimus, air mobility, eVTOL aircraft, autonomous technology, and hands-on demos from major OEMs and brands like Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, Ford, Toyota, and more.
4.3 million industrial robots are already deployed globally. Robot costs have dropped 50% in 30 years. Payback periods are now 1 to 3 years. The reshoring of American manufacturing isn't a forecast — it's a buy order.This week on Money On Tap, Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon continue the series with The Railroads of Robotics — the picks-and-shovels playbook for physical AI and the next great industrial build-out.What you'll learn:Why three forces — reshoring, labor shortage, and 1–3 year robot payback — make automation inevitableThe four investable layers: robots · AI systems · software · hardwareA walk-through of the public names: Rockwell Automation, Teradyne, Emerson Electric, NVIDIA, Tesla (Optimus), AeroVironment, Applied Materials, AutodeskHow cobots are reshaping skilled-trades work — and what the NVIDIA CEO's "three-day work week" prediction really meansFive robotics-themed ETFs walked through: ROBO, BOTZ, IBOT, ARKQ, ROBTWhat to tell the kids and grandkids about which jobs will actually exist in 10 yearsThe geopolitical risk that could shelve this entire build-out overnightPlus Money In The News:United Airlines hikes fares up to 20% — CEO admits passing 100% of jet-fuel cost to consumersMusk vs. Altman: a $134B suit heading to court while SpaceX ($1.25T) and OpenAI ($850B) IPOs loomAdobe announces a $25B buyback (25% of market cap) while Big Tech keeps laying off — and the buyback nuance most investors missRead the companion blog: brayshawfinancial.com/blogSchedule a free consultation: app.greminders.com/t/9f3ce72e/initialconsultaFull Money On Tap episode library: brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapContact UsPhone: 855-226-8551Email: info@yourmoneyontap.comOffice: 116 South River Road, Bedford, NH 03110Web: brayshawfinancial.comWhat is "physical AI" and why does it matter for investors? Physical AI is the application of artificial intelligence to machines that operate in the real world — industrial robots, cobots, autonomous vehicles, drones, and humanoid robots. Unlike AI software that lives only on a screen, physical AI directly performs labor: assembling products, moving materials, inspecting quality, and operating equipment. For investors, it converts the AI thesis into measurable productivity gains and physical reshored capacity.

SpaceX could invest as much as $119 billion to build its Terafab, a proposed semiconductor manufacturing and computing fabrication facility in Texas, according to local documents tied to a tax abatement request. The Commissioners Court of Grimes County will hold a public hearing on June 3 to consider the deal.The notice states that SpaceX would locate the multi-phase, vertically integrated Terafab at the Gibbons Creek Reservoir and surrounding areas between Austin and Houston. The project's initial phases could involve up to $55 billion in investment, with total spending potentially reaching $119 billion if additional phases move forward.The project represents a collaboration between SpaceX, Tesla and xAI, all companies in which Elon Musk serves as CEO. According to a social media post shared by Tesla, the Terafab would manufacture 1 terawatt of chip output per year, which the company claimed would exceed the combined output of all global chipmakers.Neither the companies nor local officials announced a timeframe.SpaceX revealed Terafab in March and described it as “the next step towards becoming a galactic civilization.” The company said the plant would make chips for Tesla's electric vehicles and Optimus humanoid robots, as well as SpaceX spacecraft.Tesla designed the bipedal, autonomous Optimus robot to perform dangerous, repetitive and boring tasks. According to CBS News, Musk said the automaker could begin selling the robot in 2027.As for space travel, the Terafab aligns with SpaceX's broader plans involving solar-powered AI satellites and future space operations.#SpaceX #Tesla #xAI #ElonMusk #Semiconductors #ChipManufacturing #AI #DataCenters #Manufacturing #Texas #TechNews #FactoryOfTheFuture #Terafab #Robotics #Optimus #ArtificialIntelligence #IndustrialAutomation #SemiconductorIndustry #FutureOfManufacturing #Automation #AdvancedManufacturing #SpaceTechnology #Computing #SupplyChain #Gigafactory #MadeInAmerica #SmartManufacturing #TechInnovation #IndustrialNews #Engineering

This week on Autonomy Signals, Grayson Brulte and Rob Grant discuss Tesla Optimus delays driven by China's rare earth export controls, the EU's push to slow AI regulation and what it means for autonomous vehicles, and Waymo's potential expansion into Canada.China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has classified humanoid robot actuator components as dual-use technology, requiring foreign manufacturers to share technical specifications to obtain export licenses. Tesla relies on Chinese suppliers for the specialized rare earth magnets that give Optimus its 22-degree hand dexterity, and with China controlling 90% of that supply, delays could persist.AUTNMY AI's proprietary AI algorithm, OMEGA, analyzed the impact of a potential export ban, which could increase the price from $46,000 to produce Optimus parts in China to $133,000 if all production moves to America. If this were to happen, it would lead to a delay in Optimus, and this is further compounded by an FTC investigation into whether over 60% Chinese component content disqualifies Tesla's made-in-America branding.Then there is the MIIT's March 2nd humanoid robot standardization directive, which requires Chinese suppliers to prioritize domestic manufacturers such as Unitree and Xiaomi over foreign customers including Tesla, which creates an additional supplier prioritization risk on top of the export control risk.Closing out the show, Grayson and Rob discuss Waymo's potential Canadian expansion, examining lobbying records that show Waymo Co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana met with Toronto council staff to discuss ride-hail, goods delivery, and commercial operating authorizations. OMEGA also discovered lobbying records showing Waymo has been lobbying British Columbia to change the laws to allow L4 autonomous vehicles, pointing to a potential Vancouver expansion.Episode Chapters00:00 AUTNMY AI00:24 Signal 1: Potenial Tesla Optimus Gen 3 Delay23:35 Signal 2: Europe Delays Classifying L4 Autonomous Vehicles as High Risk48:45 Signal 3: Waymo Eyes Canadian Expansion51:29 Closing--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the definitive media brand covering the Autonomy Economy™.

Tesla's Optimus Gen 3, a humanoid robot designed to revolutionize labor through advanced AI and proprietary hardware. These reports highlight technical breakthroughs such as a unified neural network, 22-degree-of-freedom hands for extreme dexterity, and an autonomous charging system that ensures 24/7 operational uptime. While Tesla has deployed over 1,000 units internally for factory tasks, the documents also compare Optimus to competitors like Agility Robotics' Digit and the Unitree G1, which currently lead in commercial availability. Financially, Tesla is reallocating over $20 billion toward robotics despite fluctuating EV demand and recent executive turnover. Ultimately, the materials present a future where mass-produced robots handle dangerous or repetitive work, potentially creating a multi-trillion-dollar economy by 2030.

This week on Watts in the News, we break down one of the biggest shifts in Tesla's history. Tesla has officially canceled the Model S and Model X, ending new sales as production lines at Fremont are converted to build Optimus humanoid robots. The move signals a major pivot toward AI, robotics, Full Self-Driving (FSD), and Robotaxi, raising big questions about Tesla's long-term direction.We're joined by Tesla legends and YouTubers Bearded Tesla Guy and JoshWest 24/7, who bring firsthand perspective from years of Tesla ownership, long-distance road trips, and a recent FSD drive across the United States. Together, we discuss whether Tesla is moving too fast, whether the company is shifting away from personally owned vehicles, and what this means for future products like Robotaxi, Cybercab, and even the Cybertruck potentially operating autonomously for cargo and logistics.➡️ Tesla Conversation With @BeardedTeslaGuy and @JoshWest247 : https://youtu.be/XS3rPj-LPI4➡️ Jessie's Trip to Sweden with @kempower : https://youtu.be/A-ifvVG_qPc➡️ BowefamilyEV Silverado, Lightning at Gravity at the Tesla V4 Chargers! : https://youtu.be/SHyH59MANtYWe also cover the importance of charging infrastructure at scale.

Tesla Cancels Model S & X. During yesterday's Tesla earnings call, Elon Musk confirmed that Tesla will end new Model S and Model X sales in Q2, shutting down those production lines to convert them for manufacturing up to 1 million Optimus robots. This marks one of the most dramatic pivots in Tesla's history as the company shifts its focus from flagship vehicles to AI, robotics, and Full Self-Driving (FSD).In this episode, we're joined by special guests @BeardedTeslaGuy and @JoshWest247 two longtime Tesla YouTubers with unmatched perspective. Josh famously completed a cross-Canada road trip in a Model S years ago before moving to the U.S., while Bearded Tesla Guy drove a Cybertruck from Florida to the Arctic Circle. Together, they recently completed an FSD road trip across the United States, giving them a front-row seat to Tesla's autonomous future.We break down what this decision really means, why Tesla is prioritizing Optimus, how FSD fits into Elon Musk's long-term vision, and whether this move signals a fundamental shift away from cars—or the next phase of Tesla's dominance.

OpenAI's Sam Altman has called a 'Code Red' at the AI giant as Google Gemini 3 might be overtaking them. But new models 'Garlic' and 'Shallotpeat' might leapfrog them back in front. Plus, Kling's new O1 and Video 2.6 AI video models are both good and, well, not so good. And Runway Gen 4.5 seems interesting but not out to everyone yet. Meanwhile, Sora 2 users are busy generating fake clips of 'Bird Game 3' and Chinese robotics start-up EngineAI brings forth their T-800 model which might as well be The Terminator.

Tesla shareholders approved Elon Musk's $1.2 trillion compensation package despite a Delaware court ruling it illegal, as Chinese competitors sell EVs for $10,000 and Tesla pivots from cars to humanoid robots. We examine why the board gave Musk the largest pay deal in history, how Chinese automakers threaten Tesla's survival, and why Musk demands 25% voting control or threatens to build his AI empire elsewhere.https://wilwaldon.com
Tesla says its Optimus robot could perform surgery in the future; this episode breaks down what Optimus can do now, what changes by 2026, the regulatory steps between a demo and a medical device, and why the manufacturing plan matters for investors and patients.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1100: Franchised dealerships saw a 22% profit surge in Q2, led by strong gains in import and domestic brands. Ford unveiled a high-tech electric Bronco, but it's only for China. Meanwhile, Tesla opened its retro-style diner and drive-in in Hollywood, complete with Superchargers, rooftop views, and robot service.Franchised dealerships saw a big jump in net profits this quarter as customers rushed to buy before tariffs hit, according to the Q2 2025 Presidio-NCM Benchmark. Profit gains came with a small asterisk because of the big cybersecurity hit last year. However this does mark the first quarterly improvement in domestic brands in three years.Average franchised dealerships posted a 22% net profit increase year-over-year, helped by both import and domestic brand gains.Import stores led with a 34% profit rise, luxury stores up 32%, and domestic stores rebounded 24% for the first time since 2022.New-vehicle gross profit per unit rose 6.1% from Q1 2025 to $2,128, reversing a multi-year decline.Used-vehicle gross profit climbed 11%, while finance and insurance income increased 5.6%, supporting overall revenue growth to $22 million per dealership.“Sustained profitability will come from a focus on fundamentals and a willingness to adapt as market conditions continue to evolve,” said Paul Faletti, CEO of NCM Associates.Ford has built a fully electric Bronco SUV with some impressive specs like 403-mile range, advanced EV tech, including lidar and 30+ sensors for semi-autonomous driving, and a heavier/smoother ride but there's a catch… it's only coming to ChinaThe Bronco New Energy offers two powertrains: a full electric with a 105 kWh battery and an extended-range hybrid (EREV) combining a 43.7 kWh battery with a 1.5L gas generator.The hybrid version can cover up to 800 miles total, with 137 miles purely on battery before the gas engine kicks in.The SUV is big and heavy—nearly 5,800 pounds and almost 9 inches longer than the gas Bronco—providing a planted ride but potentially slower cornering.Ford's smart cabin includes unique modes like “naps, pets, camping overnight” designed for comfort and convenience.Tesla's new Diner and Drive-In in Hollywood is ready to serve nostalgia and innovation side by side. Opening July 21, 2025, this retro-futuristic spot combines classic diner vibes with 75 Tesla Supercharger stalls and even features a Tesla Optimus robot.The two-story, saucer-shaped diner sits on historic Route 66 and offers 9,300 sq ft including a rooftop bar with panoramic views.Classic movies and SpaceX launch footage play on two massive LED screens syncing audio to your Tesla's stereo for a true drive-in experience.Tesla owners get exclusive perks like in-car touchscreen ordering and carhop service on roller skates delivering diner classics served in Cybertruck-themed packaging.Charging supports up to 250 kW for Models S, 3, X, Y, aJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
The numbers are in and they are all bad for Tesla fans – the company sold just 5,000 Cybertruck models in Q4 of 2025, and built some 30% more "other" vehicles than it delivered. It just gets worse and worse, on today's tension-building episode of Quick Charge! We've also got day 1 coverage of the 2025 Electrek Formula Sun Grand Prix, reports that the Tesla Optimus program is in chaos after its chief engineer jumps ship, and a look ahead at the fresh new Hyundai IONIQ 2 set to bow early next year, thanks to some battery specs from the Kia EV2.

At Tesla's AI day a few years ago Elon Musk unveiled Optimus, Tesla's humanoid robot program. This has quickly become an even more exciting long-term bull thesis than even the Cyercab, as Elon says it will make Tesla the world's most valuable company by far. In this Bros, Brews and Big Ideas I sit down with Aidan to analyze Tesla's Optimus, and the much hyped Figure Robot, which has created a splash on social media and is let by Bret Adcock. Figure claims to be bringing robots into the home later this year or next, while Tesla plans to have 1,000+ robots walking around its factory this year. Who is ahead in this race? Is Figure to be taken seriously at all? Let me know what you think in the comments below.
