Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 62 ratings
  • 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.

The Great Full Self-Driving Debate
Q: If Tesla were to face a decision between offering costly hardware upgrades for FSD or finding a software-only path forward, what do you think would be the most realistic and customer-friendly approach?

The Great Full Self-Driving Debate
Q: When FSD shows hesitation or loses confidence, like slowing unexpectedly, do you see that as a sign of progress in safety or a limitation that undermines the trust in the system?
