Tesla vs. Manitoba: Choose Your Fighter — Kilowatt: A Podcast about Electric Vehicles

This week on Kilowatt, we start with Rivian’s R1S and R1T turn-signal recall before looking at the 2027 R1S and its new captain’s chairs. We also cover BYD’s updated Denza N8, growing EV registrations in Ireland, and a U.S. market where new EV sales are struggling while used EV sales set records. In Tesla news, we look at the new $35-per-month Powerwall lease in Texas, plans for an Austin Robotaxi charging facility with wireless charging, the upcoming Cybercab event, and a DIY Hardware 4 retrofit on a 2022 Model 3. Then James Hart from True North EV joins the show to explain Tesla’s lawsuit over Manitoba excluding the company from its provincial EV rebate program. James walks through how Manitoba’s rebate works, why Tesla was excluded, what happened in a similar dispute in Ontario, and who is actually affected when a vehicle no longer qualifies. We also talk about Chinese-built EVs entering Canada, EV pricing and gas prices, and James’s experience owning and driving everything from an older Nissan Leaf to a Chevy Equinox EV.
