Episode 147 is a big one – both for the week of Tesla news and for me personally. I go over everything Elon talked about: Model Y, next-gen Supercharging, and much more. Listen here, and happy Memorial Day weekend!
Congratulations on the tweet exchanges with Elon. Hopefully you get that interview you've been hoping for. That would be awesome.
