PODCAST: TESLA FSD UPDATE, FORD'S UNIVERSAL EV PLATFORM, ACURA RSX, MORE

EV Channels Review

The Electrek Podcast covers a range of EV news, with a significant focus on the upcoming Acura RSX electric SUV. The RSX is highlighted as Acura's first in-house designed all-electric vehicle, built on Honda's Zero platform, promising up to 300 miles of range and standard bidirectional charging. It's set to launch in the second half of next year with AWD and Brembo brakes, and will be the first production vehicle to feature Honda's new Asimo infotainment interface, emphasizing personalization and OTA updates. While the RSX appears promising, the discussion also touches on the broader industry trends, including Ford's new universal EV platform, Tesla's FSD updates and Dojo supercomputer demise, and the concerning rollback of US EV credit regulations. The podcast notes the RSX's design is 'damn close' to production-ready and looks better in person, drawing comparisons to the Lotus Eletre.
