  • 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.

Ron Burch Chose a New Battery Over a New Model S
Q: Why did you decide to pursue a battery swap instead of buying a new car?
Ron explains the car was still in good shape, the battery degradation was manageable, and the swap would give him essentially a new battery with a warranty, improved charging, and more recent tech without the higher cost and uncertainty of a new car purchase.
Brian Makse Talks Leaf and EV4
Q: But where can people find you?
Brian answers that you can primarily find him on YouTube, with the same show also on the Bleeve Podcast Network, under the name Brian Makse, with spelling M-A-K-S-E.
Lucid Motors Q4 2025 Earnings Call
Q: What are the margin drivers for 2026 given ramp costs and commodity headwinds?
Gross margin is expected to improve in 2026 driven by higher volumes, improved fixed gross absorption, better ramp efficiency, reduced scrap and rework, plus an enhanced supply chain with a renewed leadership focus, even as headwinds from component costs and logistics persist.
Lucid Motors Q4 2025 Earnings Call
Q: With Tesla scaling back miles offered, what is Lucid's plan to gain market share in the premium EV space?
Lucid positions itself as a natural successor to Model S and Model X with rising customer inquiries, focusing on accelerated adoption through higher-end sedans and expanding into the mid-size platform to broaden appeal, while acknowledging competition from other premium brands and the need for a diverse mix to win share.
Lucid Motors Q4 2025 Earnings Call
Q: Lucid earned ongoing revenue from its Uber and Nuro partnership—will there be fleet maintenance, software licensing, or subscriptions?
The arrangement primarily involves selling the vehicles to Uber or its fleet partners, with no current ongoing licensing or subscription revenues. However, the company sees potential for additional arrangements in the future as the relationship with Uber, Nuro, and others expands.
