InsideEVs Podcast episodes

This inspired a nightmare:

• 3d party EV plugs into SuperCharger and gets a charge.
• Part of disconnect, it shorts or reverses the Supercharger battery pins

I know, I know, nightmares are not real but none the less, they can briefly terrorize.

Cox Automotive reports '92,000 inventory EVs ... a 92 day supply.' But Tesla will report Q2 financials Wednesday July 19. You' all might see if you can find dealer lots with a lot of EVs or even ask dealers or dealer networks if they have a glut of unsold EVs.

I suspect I already know some of the answers but probably there are different answers for EU and USA metrics. Your opinions would be interesting ... and you have a week for casual observation.

To be blunt, are EV car reviewers looking at 'sales are dead' press cars?

I started to listen to today's podcast, and gave up halfway through. All of this talk about "Launching", "Shredding" and whatnot is a total turn-off, and not representative of what people do with their cars in the real world.

 

I'm subscribed to the YouTube channel and appreciated today's YouTube podcast.

When does the podcast return?

 

Kyle is the best part of the show.

I launch and shred in my Model S at least monthly.

No point in having a high performance EV if you don't.

I have been watching for ~3 years.

This podcast isn't for former Prius nerds.

 

I just finished watching #173. Can't say whether I like the new crew or not. Again, way too long and too much useless chatter. I watch it at 1.5 speed, so at least get through it quicker. I did like the Escalade IQ discussion. I can see a lot of people with money wanting that one. Certainly beats all the German luxury EVs, IMHO. But that Lucid Saphire will have an even smaller buyer group. Some of these high end cars are great to fantasize about, but for the vast majority of us, not going to happen.

Not sure if I will watch more of these, depends on the topics. But would like to see more practical EV discussions, about cars that most of us may actually want to buy. There are many car segments, so why talk just about the high end ones. And get some more actual manufacturer execs on as guests, and ask them tough questions.

 

5 minutes in, and all I can think of is how the escalade plays right into Cadogan's point about how
lithium resources are not going to be able to meet the "electric future" development process, especially
if we're allowing it to be essentially wasted on poser products like this. Gah.

Do any of the podcast participants ever read these threads? There could be a high-value feedback
path here, but they have to descend from their ivory towers first.

The whole problem with e-bikes and similar is the "chinesium factor", where repair information is
not only unavailable for sketchy offshore products, the manufacturers/marketers thereof don't
*care* if the product breaks or burns down your apartment, they've economically isolated themselves
to where holding anyone accountable is almost impossible. And people just buy into this racket
because it's cheap, and that's all they look at or care about ... until something goes south, and then
they're stuck with no recourse.
