A Tale of Two Grandparents: Aging, Mobility, and Autonomy

Episode Summary

Welcome to a weekend edition of Kilowatt, where we break down the latest shifts in electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and renewable energy. In this episode, we dive into the details of California's newly structured EV rebate program and explore Norway's staggering, world-leading 98.1% EV registration market share dominated by the Tesla Model Y. We also discuss the impending arrival of affordable Chinese EVs like Dongfeng's Nami Box and Vigo into the Canadian market under reduced tariffs. Turning to Tesla news, we unpack the recent recall of nearly 20,000 older Model 3 and Model Y vehicles due to overly bright low-beam headlights. Additionally, we cover the NTSB's latest findings regarding the tragic FSD crash in Texas, Elon Musk's promises regarding personalized FSD driver preference learning, and Tesla’s plans to build a purpose-built, wheelchair-accessible autonomous vehicle outside Austin.
