PODCAST: TESLA CYBERTRUCK CHEAPER, EV DELIVERIES FOR TESLA, FORD, GM, RIVIAN, AND MORE

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Electrek Podcast delves into significant Tesla Cybertruck news, including its price reduction and the availability of non-Foundation series models starting at $79,000, with the Cyberbeast variant now priced at $100,000. The hosts suggest this pricing adjustment is linked to the recent rollout of Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability on the Cybertruck. The discussion also covers Tesla's Q3 delivery numbers, which narrowly missed expectations, and provides an estimate of Cybertruck production based on a recent recall. Other Tesla news includes the cancellation of the cheapest Model 3 variant and interesting data on the Supercharger network's growth and energy delivery. The podcast touches on a lawsuit victory for Elon Musk, where his lawyers successfully used 'corporate puffery' as a defense, and notes the departure of key Tesla executives. Additionally, the episode contrasts Ford's and GM's Q3 EV sales, with GM surpassing Ford, and discusses Rivian's lowered production targets due to supply shortages. Finally, a partnership between Hyundai and Waymo for an IONIQ 5 robotaxi is highlighted.
