EV Channels Review

This video captures a pre-show discussion among InsideEVs staff and guests in anticipation of Tesla's Battery Day. The conversation highlights key expectations, including the potential for a new Roadster with advanced thrusters, innovations in battery pack architecture like tablet cells, and the possibility of Tesla moving towards a cell-to-pack design to reduce cost and weight. The participants also discuss Tesla's competitive landscape, particularly in light of Lucid's range announcements, and touch upon the potential for vehicle-to-grid technology and the challenges of using EV batteries for home storage. The discussion touches on the history of battery modules, the rarity of EV fires, and the long-term strategy for Tesla to reach a more mainstream market with more affordable vehicles. The initial moments of the actual Battery Day livestream are briefly covered, noting technical difficulties with audio, which are humorously compared to Elon Musk's past marketing stunts.
