  • Keeps me informed on all EV News … with a sense of humor

    Tesla dominates the EV market so it’s easy to overlook the plethora of options we have available to us. Bodie keeps us informed about all of them across the globe. He delivers the news with the most hilarious self-deprecation so it never gets dry or boring. His interview shows are fantastic, where he talks to people in alternative energy or policy making or even hosts of other EV shows. He can even make earnings calls interesting.

  • Meh

    The first episode that I heard from this guy was the TSLA Q3 call, probably going to be the last.

    The amount of non sensical questions and points of views that he comes up with…

  • I really like the fact that this host goes out of his way to just talk about the technology and leave politics out of it. As a member of the political party that EV enthusiasts usually dislike, I very much appreciate as a fan of this technology not feeling attacked every time I try to listen to a show about it. Keep up the good work.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rivian's Q1 2026 Earnings Call
Q: How will the Uber RoboTaxi partnership milestones unlock capital, and what are the near-term steps?
The plan includes staged milestones, with an initial $250 million tranche unlocked later in the year tied to deploying Rivian vehicles with safety drivers in San Francisco and Miami, and broader deployment in 2028 across more cities to fully unlock the remaining $700 million.
Rivian's Q1 2026 Earnings Call
Q: What is the demand signal for the R2 and how does it compare to expectations?
Analysts noted early enthusiasm and the decision to scale Georgia capacity; Rivian indicated demand signals are positive and that media and customer interest have been strong, with some skepticism about precise order trends during early deliveries.
Rivian's Q1 2026 Earnings Call
Q: What impact does Georgia capacity optimization have on Rivian's long-term financial targets?
Management suggested increased Georgia capacity reflects confidence in the product and is integrated into their broader ramp strategy, with an expectation of improving cost efficiency as production scales, while maintaining overall long-term profitability targets.
Lucid Motor's Q1 2026 Earnings Call
Q: Are RoboTaxi deliveries to Uber dependent on Nuro achieving certification, or is there a fixed schedule for volume progression?
Deliveries are contingent on Nuro achieving final certification; there is not a fixed quarterly tranche, but progress on certification in California and other jurisdictions is critical to enabling the planned robotaxi deployments.
Lucid Motor's Q1 2026 Earnings Call
Q: Can you share any volume targets for M2 for 2027, and whether a better-than-expected launch could extend liquidity into 2028?
The targets for the M2 volume were guided previously and have not changed; the focus remains on the ramp in 2027 with liquidity considerations tied to that ramp, not a short-term acceleration beyond the planned schedule. Final SOP and ramp timing will be clarified after internal reviews with Silvio and the team by the end of Q2.
