PODCAST: EV WORLD IN 2024, TESLA SELF-DRIVING, GMC SIERRA EV DENALI, MORE

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Electrek Podcast covers a range of EV news and future predictions, with a significant focus on Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) development. The hosts express skepticism regarding Elon Musk's timelines and the current capabilities of FSD, particularly its performance outside of California and in adverse weather conditions. They highlight the shift to an end-to-end neural net architecture in FSD v12 but question its deliverability on current hardware and the lack of regulatory engagement. The discussion also touches on the anticipated Tesla Model Y refresh (Juniper), the first real-world Cybertruck crash (deemed not the vehicle's fault), and a leak regarding Tesla's PowerShare mobile connector. Additionally, the podcast features the first sighting of the GMC Sierra EV Denali, positive news for Aptera securing a supply deal, and a broader outlook on EV trends for 2024, including the NACS standard adoption and the sustainability of charging networks.
