Nine Years Later… Tesla to Unveil the Roadster — Kilowatt: A Podcast about Electric Vehicles

Toyota says reports of another Highlander EV delay are incorrect, while Ford sets an ambitious first-year sales target for its upcoming $30,000 Fathom electric pickup. BYD continues the rapid expansion of its ultra-fast charging network in China, and Waymo has accumulated more than 8,300 San Francisco parking tickets since the beginning of 2025. We also look at just how many EV models are currently available in the United States before moving into Tesla news. Tesla’s latest stories include a built-in browser ad blocker, European Semi specifications, Cybertruck and Powerwall home backup support, and a Model 3 taxi that has reached 250,000 miles with relatively little maintenance. Grok may soon gain the ability to send text messages from Tesla vehicles using natural-language requests. Finally, Tesla has set an October 1 event in Waco, Texas, for the next-generation Roadster, nearly nine years after the car was first unveiled.
