TEN 336 - TESLA QUARTERLIES, VW'S APRIL FOOLS BACKFIRES, CITROEN AMI COMING TO THE U.S.

EV Channels Review

This episode of TEN covers a wide array of EV news, with Tesla's Q1 financials highlighting record profits and Elon Musk's comments on 4680 cell production timelines. The review notes that while Tesla's financials were strong, the lack of major unexpected news and the distant timeline for volume 4680 cell production may have contributed to a stock price dip. Other key stories include Electrify America's expansion to 600 charging stations, Ford's investment in battery R&D at its new 'Ford Ion Park,' and Volkswagen facing an SEC investigation over its April Fools' Day rebranding joke. Chevrolet's proposed fix for Bolt EV battery fires, GM's partnership with Honda on electric SUVs, and strong European EV sales figures are also discussed. The review touches on the launch of the ID.4 GTX, a study revealing poor PHEV charging habits, and the upcoming arrival of the Citroen Ami in the US via a subscription service. The episode concludes with a critical look at a gold-plated Tesla Model S Plaid by Caviar, deeming it an 'eyesore.'
