ELECTREK PODCAST: TESLA SEMI RANGE, MODEL 3 HIGH MILEAGE, BOLT EUV, AND MORE

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Electrek Podcast delves into several key developments in the EV space. A significant portion is dedicated to the Tesla Semi, with reports indicating it's meeting or exceeding range expectations under a near-full load (75,000 lbs), potentially reaching up to 600 miles. This is contrasted with the Freightliner Cascadia electric truck, which has begun deliveries with a more modest 250-mile range. The discussion also covers Tesla Model 3 owners with high mileage, highlighting impressive durability and low maintenance, with one owner reaching over 100,000 miles with minimal issues. Pricing updates for the Model Y and Model 3 are noted, along with the discontinuation of the Model 3 air suspension and the phasing out of Tesla's service loaner program, which has drawn owner complaints. Finally, the podcast touches on the upcoming Chevy Bolt EUV and a potential new Mazda electric SUV, alongside a dispute between rental company Nextmove and Tesla regarding a large Model 3 order cancellation.
