WHAT WE MISSED (AND SCREWED UP) IN TEN THIS WEEK!

EV Channels Review

This video serves as an "addendum" to a previous show, where the host addresses viewer feedback and corrects perceived errors. The primary focus is on clarifying past reporting, particularly concerning Tesla, Volkswagen's e-Up!, and the handling of Elon Musk's public statements. The host defends the channel's coverage of Tesla's phantom braking issues by emphasizing its high profile and delivery volume, while also acknowledging that other automakers face similar problems. They express a preference for inefficient EVs over inefficient gasoline cars as a transitional step towards cleaner transportation. A significant portion is dedicated to addressing criticisms about the channel's political commentary, particularly regarding Elon Musk's controversial tweets, and the host defends their approach by stating it's impossible to cover EVs without touching on politics. The host also apologizes for factual errors, such as misidentifying California's nickname and for omitting details about the SEC's penalty distribution to Tesla shareholders. The video concludes with an explanation of the small team's workload and a plea for viewer support.
