Tesla Door Probe, Ram Kills EV Truck + The Future Of E-Bikes w/ Infinite Machine

Update: 2025-09-19

Description

The great EV pullback has begun. And the latest casualty is Ram’s electric pickup truck. Patrick and Tim debate whether canceling the 1500 REV was the right move—and whether the brand’s gas-powered EREV pickup can pick up the slack.

Plus, U.S. regulators opened an investigation into whether Tesla’s electronic door handles are defective after a bombshell report. Tesla design chief Franz von Holzhausen even commented on the news, teasing a door-release redesign.

To close out the show, Tim speaks with Joe Cohen, co-founder and CEO of Infinite Machine, a New York City-based micromobility company making some stunning and high-tech two-wheelers: P1 and the Olto. Joe talks about what made him start a mobility company, what’s wrong with today’s e-bikes and why it’s so important to get people out of cars.
