SONY EV, VW CHANGE OR DIE, TALKING TESLAS — TEN 277

EV Channels Review

This episode of TEN covers a wide array of EV news, with Sony's surprise electric car concept being a major highlight. The reviewer notes its impressive specs and range, though it's currently a technology demonstrator rather than a production vehicle. Volkswagen's urgent need for reform to compete with Tesla is emphasized, with CEO Herbert Diess warning of a 'change or die' scenario. The Tesla Semi faces production delays, with limited volume unlikely until the second half of the year. The Porsche Taycan Turbo S is singled out for its poor efficiency and low official range. Other news includes updates on the Fisker Ocean, Chevrolet Bolt EV deals, Tesla's autopilot safety report, a new Tesla design studio in China, and the potential for 'talking Teslas.' The segment also touches on the declining use of coal power, the Boring Company's Las Vegas tunnel, and Fisker's use of recycled materials. Overall, the episode provides a comprehensive snapshot of the EV landscape in early 2020.
