Nicolas Zart finally gets David Moseley on the podcast — and it was worth the wait.
David is a British physicist and automotive engineer who was present at two of the most pivotal moments in EV history: the early development of the Tesla Model S and the creation of the Lucid Air alongside Peter Rawlinson.
Humble, sharp, and full of hard-won insight, David walks us through what it actually takes to build an electric vehicle from the ground up — from reimagining crumple zones without a combustion engine to rethinking powertrain concepts entirely.
This is Part 1 of what will be a two-part conversation. Part 2 coming in approximately one month.
