We begin our discussion of autonomous driving. We cover why autonomous driving is important in the first place, what the current state of the art is for Tesla and Google, where we are going, and how long it will take to get there.
We both test drove the Model X. We discuss our impressions of the entire Tesla test drive experience and the Model X specifically – the performance, the handling, the interior, the falcon wing doors, and Autopilot.
We chat about our expectations for Part 2 of the Model 3 unveil – what the Model S and X option packages mean for the Model 3, what are the "next level" features Elon Musk was alluding to, and what a HUD and Autopilot mean for Model 3 going forward.
We discuss the origins, current status, and importance of the Gigafactory to Tesla.
A special bonus episode. Tesla just released their Q1 2016 numbers and after listening to the conference call we couldn't help but share what Tesla announced and the updates to Model 3 production Elon Musk revealed.
We unpack everything Supercharger – their history, how they work, where they are, what they are, and what the Model 3 launch will mean for Supercharging.
We dig into Tesla's production history and their recent factory upgrades to understand how they will reach their stated goals of 500,000 vehicles by 2020 and how that might change with the ever increasing Model 3 reservation count.
We discuss the results of the Model 3 unveil – the reservation counts, what it means for Tesla, and what it means for the car industry at large.
An in-depth discussion of the Model 3 pre-order and unveil day.
