Description

Tesla’s new “more affordable models” are here. But they’re not actually new, and not that cheap. In this episode, Patrick and Tim break down the Model 3 Standard and Model Y Standard. They dig into what these cars are missing, what’s good about them, and whether they’re a good deal or not. 



Then Albert Gore, executive director of the Zero Emission Transportation Association, joins the show to chat about how America’s battery makers and EV brands are grappling with this current moment. 



In Plus/Minus, they discuss GM’s controversial EV tax credit play and Patrick’s impressions of the Lucid Gravity.
