I'll just add on my screen and we are live for a new episode of the Electrek Podcast. I'm Fred Lambert, your host, and as usual, I'm joined by Seth Wintram. How are you doing, Seth? I'm good. All right. Good thing that you're good because we have plenty to talk about this week. We had kind of like a little teaser that Tesla might still be a car company and might still be working on new vehicle programs, and that was shut down quickly earlier today, even though

I think there's still some hope for it. We're going to dive into that. Then we're going to talk about v14.3. I'm talking about FSD here, and v15, which is now v15 unsupervised, safer than human. That's locked in. It's v15. It's happening. Oh, yeah.

Yep. We got some great data on Tesla Supercharger, the cost of deploying them, at least the cost of what Tesla is charging for it. So obviously, there's some profit on top of it. But it's very interesting data into the cost of deploying DC Fast Charger, which we think, pretty confident that Tesla is still by far the cheapest.

We got some Rivian R2 EPA numbers. No big surprise there, so nothing to be crazy about. We're going to talk to you about Volkswagen making big moves in the U.S., not in the right direction, as per usual these days when it comes to legacy automakers in the U.S. ID.4 is going away. Honda as a cute little funky EV that they are bringing overseas now, which we're looking forward to.
