The hosts also speculate on the upcoming Tesla Model 3 'Highland' refresh, fueled by rumors and leaked information, suggesting potential updates like RGB interior lighting. The segment concludes with a discussion on the future of EVs, emphasizing the dominance of Chinese manufacturers and the critical role of software, alongside a critical look at the commercialization of EV events.
