Description:

Bodie is joined by Tom Appel, publisher of Consumer Guide and co-host of the Car Stuff Podcast, for a wide-ranging conversation about reviewing cars, buying them, and where the EV market is headed. Tom shares his experience driving the Lucid Gravity, including what impressed him and the software glitches that made an otherwise compelling luxury EV difficult to recommend without reservations. The conversation turns to what new cars actually cost today, increasingly long auto loans, and the things Tom and his daughter learned while shopping for a new compact crossover. They also talk about unusual option packaging, three-cylinder engines, Volkswagen diesels, the rise and fall of enthusiasm around the Ford F-150 Lightning, and how quickly consumer expectations can change. Tom and Bodie get into vehicle safety and airbags, including how difficult it can be to design around every possible type of crash or rare safety incident. Finally, they discuss the EV industry's transition from CCS to NACS charging and whether another change in charging standards could add confusion for buyers already hesitant about making the switch to electric.

Description:

In this episode, I sit down with Steve Sheridan to talk about his upgrade from a 2020 Tesla Model Y Performance to the new 2026 Model Y Performance. Steve shares what motivated the change, including the significantly improved ride quality, quieter cabin, and refinements Tesla has made to the vehicle over the last several years. We discuss why the Model Y continues to be the right fit for his needs, from garage constraints to the features he values most, such as one-pedal driving, visibility, and Tesla's user interface.

Steve also walks us through the ordering and delivery process, including a few issues that popped up at delivery and how Tesla addressed them. We chat about his decision to go with the Quicksilver paint option, paint protection film, ceramic coating, and some of the cosmetic changes he made after taking delivery. Finally, Steve shares his thoughts on the latest version of Full Self-Driving, where it's improved, where it still falls short, and why he remains attentive behind the wheel. It's a fun conversation packed with real-world ownership insights for anyone considering the updated Model Y.

This episode of Kilowatt dives into the staggering engineering and questionable economics of BYD’s luxury powerhouse, the Denza Z9 GT. Originally born from a partnership with Mercedes-Benz, the Denza brand is now striking out on its own with a 1,140-horsepower "shooting brake" that boasts some of the most advanced chassis tech on the planet. We explore its incredible ability to "crab walk" and pivot, its massive 1.5-megawatt charging capability, and why it might just be the fastest-charging EV in the world. However, the real conversation starts with the sticker shock: why does a car that costs roughly $40,000 in China command a staggering $134,000 price tag in Europe? We break down the impact of EU tariffs, shipping costs, and BYD’s aggressive strategy to pivot from a budget brand to a premium Porsche competitor. Plus, a special thank you to David for joining our Patreon family.

Kilowatt 670 — Show NotesIn this episode, I share my experiences from CES, including the unexpected luxury of staying at Resorts World and the realities of recording from a hotel laundry room. I dive into one of the most exciting announcements at the show: the solid-state battery partnership between Donut Labs and Verge Motorcycles, a collaboration that could mark a major leap forward in EV technology. We explore the difference between semi-solid-state and true solid-state batteries, the technical challenges Donut Labs claims to have solved, and what this could mean for Verge’s first production motorcycle equipped with the new battery tech. Additional conversations with industry representatives at CES reinforce expectations for near-term deployment of these innovations. I wrap up by recapping the Daily Tech News Show meetup and reflecting on the value of connecting with the tech community.

Kilowatt Holiday Special 2025: Naughty Lists, EV Poems, and AI Tunes

In this festive and satirical holiday special, Bodiei mixes electric vehicle news with creative flair. He kicks things off with a witty "EV Naughty and Nice List," calling out range anxiety myths, opportunistic dealers, and software-locked horsepower, while celebrating Rivian, Lucid, and automakers finally chasing affordability. The show features original AI-assisted music tracks like Math Beats Vibes, Prophets and Margins, and A Mouthful of Promises But Nothing to Chew, all written and crafted by Bodhi using tools like Suno and ChatGPT. He also performs a clever EV parody poem, “Twas the Night Before the Write-Down,” skewering Ford’s shifting EV strategy. To close, Bodhi roasts himself with a tongue-in-cheek AI-generated song about his podcasting quirks and habits. It’s a humorous, heartfelt, and musically inventive end-of-year celebration packed with insight and originality.

Kilowatt 666 — Show NotesIn this episode of Kilowatt, Bodie wraps up the year with a wide-ranging look at the latest EV news just ahead of Christmas. He breaks down a notable 34% drop in Tesla registrations in the European Union, while pointing out that overall battery-electric vehicle registrations were still up 44%, signaling a shift in the market rather than a collapse. The show also explores BYD’s new peer-to-peer home charging feature, which lets owners share and monetize their chargers through the BYD app. Bodie then covers the Cybertruck earning an IIHS Top Safety Plus rating, pushing back against early skepticism. He explains why Volkswagen’s ID. Buzz isn’t coming to the U.S. in 2026, and why that doesn’t mean it’s canceled. The episode rounds out with a Ford recall affecting over 270,000 vehicles, a look at Elon Musk’s evolving pay package, and a holiday message inviting listeners to share their EV stories as the show heads into 2026.

I discuss the advantages of in-wheel hub motors, including increased efficiency and the potential for easier EV conversions, while also addressing challenges such as ride quality and durability. The conversation then shifts to EREVs, which utilize a gas generator to charge the battery, providing a practical solution for those hesitant to fully adopt electric vehicles. I reflect on the historical origins of this concept and consider its appeal as a middle ground for families. I conclude by teasing future insights into Tesla’s developments, inviting listeners to engage with the complexities of automotive innovation.

In this episode, we dive into our special Thanksgiving extravaganza for Kilowatt, the podcast exploring the realms of electric vehicles, renewable energy, and autonomous driving, among other fascinating topics. I am joined by my guests Allison Sheridan, Steve Sheridan, and Sierra LaDuke, and together we engage in a fun and competitive Jeopardy-like trivia game, where knowledge meets laughter. This episode marks our 49th annual Thanksgiving extravaganza, and while the stakes are low, the camaraderie and banter are at an all-time high.

Humor is a key player in this episode, evident in our discussions, where teasing each other becomes an entertaining dynamic. I encouraged a bit of playful trash talk, leading to some uproarious exchanges and an unexpected twist at the end of the game.

This Thanksgiving special is about laughter, competition, and the gratitude we hold for each other and our listeners.

In this episode of Kilowatt, we delve into Tesla's much-anticipated We, Robot event, a gathering particularly focused on their latest offerings in the realm of autonomous vehicles, including the much-discussed Cyber Cab. I share my personal challenges leading up to this episode, highlighting the technical difficulties I encountered that caused considerable frustration—even leading to dreams about the event itself! Despite these issues, I aim to provide a comprehensive overview of Tesla's vision for the future of transport.

We kick off our discussion with the critical details surrounding the event itself, noting that Tesla has a history of starting late. However, this time the delay was attributed to a medical emergency in the audience. I share some interesting viewing statistics—approximately 108,000 viewers on YouTube and around 2 million on X. We then embark on a play-by-play of the event, starting with the introduction of Elon Musk by Tesla’s head designer, Franz von Holzhausen. Musk's dramatic entrance in a Cyber Cab adds to the excitement, setting the stage for what promises to be a significant announcement regarding unsupervised full self-driving capabilities.

Musk makes bold claims about the transformative potential of autonomous vehicles, underlining the inefficiencies of current car usage—averaging only about 10 hours per week. He presents autonomous vehicles as a means to significantly increase efficiency and reduce the costs associated with car ownership, including insurance and maintenance. The Cyber Cab, unlike traditional vehicles, bears no steering wheel or pedals, granting passengers an exhilarating ride experience and a taste of the future of mobility. I discuss the aesthetics and functionality of the Cyber Cab, which merges features of both the Model 3 and Cybertruck while emphasizing its lack of rear windows and distinctive butterfly doors.

As Musk touches on the broader implications of autonomous driving, he highlights the potential for cityscapes to shift dramatically. With fewer vehicles needing parking spaces, we delve into the fascinating prospect of converting parking lots into green spaces, creating a more pleasant urban environment. During the presentation, we also learn about the new Roboven design, which aims to serve high-density transport needs. I provide insights into this intriguing vehicle that functions as a cross between a mini-bus and a futuristic transport solution, reflecting Tesla's ambition to revolutionize public transit.

Musk's vision extends beyond vehicles, underscored by his introduction of the Optimus robot—a humanoid robot powered by the same technology that drives Tesla’s cars. He asserts that this robot will be capable of performing everyday tasks and may be available at a price point equivalent to that of a car. While I share excitement for the possibilities, I maintain a healthy skepticism about the timeline and feasibility of these advancements, noting that much of what was presented served more as a status update rather than groundbreaking news.

In this episode, I delve into Tesla's 2024 shareholder meeting, shedding light on the proposed items and responses. As we navigate through the shareholder proposals, one advocates for shorter director terms for enhanced accountability, while the other pushes for a simple majority vote. I present both sides of the argument to offer a comprehensive view of the discussions shaping Tesla's governance and future. We highlight Tesla's commitment to shareholder engagement, juxtaposed with criticisms regarding voting requirements and transparency on workplace harassment and collective bargaining policies.

The complex relationship between labor unions and Tesla is discussed, emphasizing fair negotiations, employee rights, and the delicate balance between labor and management dynamics. Elon Musk's viewpoints on unions and regulatory responses to his statements are explored, stressing the significance of respecting labor rights and fostering transparent workplace practices. Concerns about electromagnetic radiation and wireless technologies in Tesla vehicles are addressed through a shareholder proposal calling for annual risk reports. While Tesla defends its safety measures and compliance, the need for transparency and safety is underscored in the ongoing discussions at the annual meeting.

I also address various stockholder proposals concerning Tesla's transparency, executive compensation, sustainability metrics, and deep-sea mining. I emphasize the importance of transparency in Tesla's reporting and the value of third-party evaluations of technologies. The issue of executive compensation is explored, suggesting a link to employee pay. Proposals on incorporating sustainability metrics into compensation plans and imposing a moratorium on deep-sea mining are discussed, stressing the need for informed decision-making in evaluating these proposals. I provide a summary of the stockholder vote results on Tesla's proposals and highlight the intricacies of producing this episode while emphasizing the significance of understanding Tesla's stance for future coverage.
