Tesla, Mobileye, and the Fight for Autonomous Roads

In this episode, we dive deep into the latest shifting tides of the electric vehicle market, starting with Tesla's political push in New Jersey to safeguard its upcoming Robotaxi fleet against restrictive new legislation. We also examine the regulatory scene down at Giga Texas, where brand-new EPA filings have finally peeled back the curtain on the highly anticipated Cybercab's official battery size, weight, power, and range specs. Meanwhile, Rivian continues its grueling march toward profitability, navigating another tough round of corporate layoffs just a week after their major R2 launch event. On the legacy automotive front, Hyundai is officially breathing down Chevrolet's neck as it closes in on the coveted number-two spot for EV sales in the United States. Plus, we look at unexpected sightings of Costco-branded Tesla Semis right here in Arizona and unpack a surprising report detailing Apple’s sneaky new development that could finally bring CarPlay to Tesla vehicles.
